This came with 3.55 (Was the Lego Mega heroes bundle pack).
I installed CMA and the openCMA patch, as well as running the update spoofer/blocker. This worked well enough to make the PS Vita think that I was on the latest firmware (Where the latest was infact 3.57) However it did not allow me to go into the psn store - constantly asking me to perform a firmware update.
The idea somewhat was to reset the vita again and create a US based PSN account and to add the Minamo exploit game via download queue on PC and somehow run the PSN store on the Vita to allow me to download this.
Albeit, the issue was that no matter what, it would not allow me to go into the store section on the vita (even though it thought it was on the most up to date software). I also tried this in the beginning when resetting fully and no luck.
Hence I decided to update to 3.57 and purchase the exploit game "metal gear solid portable ops plus"
This works fine with VHBL. I would just need to rezip the files so that there is the additional VHBL directory at the beginning so that it will write to PSP/VHBL.
I have made a backup of the game (metal gear solid portable)
One question here is the following... Lets assume there is a new firmware update and I do not wish to update to this and later on down the line, I decide to reset the psp vita fully.. Am I right to assume that I can
A: run the firmware spoofer and openCMA and just transfer the gamebackup (metal gear solid) to the PS Vita without having to login to the PSN store (Where it will probably force me to update to the newest firmware)??
