    Guys!
    After you manage to get SD2VITA as your main SD card storage do not format the Sony SD card as sometimes if your Vita crash and you have to reboot, the system will automatically look for the original Sony SD card rather than SD2VITA and if it can't find H Encore, you have to re -jailbreak your device.

    MY DUDE! Tech James, you've given my Vita life. I've followed all your guides and was able to install everything successfully with no corrupt files or hiccups. I have everything: Adrenaline, Retroarch, PKGj and using a 128gb as my main storage. I'm playing off of the phat Vita 3.67 henkaku. Cheers mate, I owe you a 6 pack one day!
    One thing tho is some GBA/SNES games run slow like FFTA and Killer Instinct. Think that's the game file or the emulator itself? I'ma look into getting different emus.

    Thanks Tech James, my setup is working. Though I skipped the SD2Vita setting up as mount from Vitashell. Instead I copied all UX0 contents and pasted it while my SD Card is plugged on my PC SD Card reader, seems its a bit faster than Vitashell mount. Once copied everything is working with the steps you provided with no data corruption. Also got it with first try, I am using the white SD2Vita adaptor I bought for almost 2$ from China

    This tutorial saved me from near heartache. My Vita just started giving me the random, "You removed your memory card" messages every time I would use my Vita after it would go into rest mode. Which was a sign that my 3 year old 32 GB Vita memory card (I saved up and bought it back when they were WAY expensive) was about to go soon. I got an SD2Vita and a 64 GB SD card just in time to utilize this tutorial before my memory card bit the dust. Thanks Tech James, you da real MVP! T_T

    Thank you so much for all the videos you've done on this. You're bloody brilliant. Just one thing though, if for some reason the memory card in the SD2VITA gets corrupted or something goes wrong generally, won't it make life a hell of a lot easier to move all my stuff back on to the VIta it if I've got Vitashell in ur0 instead of ux0?

  • @ilovemyprs
    @ilovemyprs 6 років тому +39

    For any of you guys out there who were wondering the same as me - You can switch back and set your MC as ux0 (main memory) via the TF card plugin tool first option.
    The vita will reboot and you can play your original carts again.
    So far I was switching back and forth and no corrupt data was observed.
    I just hope I am using it as I am supposed to, since I could not find any specific information on this online. *Please, anyone, correct me if I'm wrong*

    • @XobSod-xD
      @XobSod-xD 5 років тому +6

      Yes you can do that, or you can do even better ;)
      1) Return MC as ux0 and PS2VITA as uma0 - and Reboot
      2) Remove PS2VITA from slot and insert actual game (will mount on gmo0)
      3) Dump game to ux0 with generating license (NoNpDrm plugin)
      4) Remove game from slot and insert PS2VITA
      5) Move dumped game from ux0 to uma0
      6) Switch back PS2VITA as ux0 and MC as ux0 - and Reboot
      This way you have your 'cartridge' game installed, you can play it without changing carts again. You have your (multiple) original games back upped on the PS2VITA and you may play them all - all the time ;) now bigger PS2VITA make more sense.
      And in this use case permanent h-encore make more sense too, because you have to reboot the device at least two times.

    Thanks...worked great. Tried to follow another video and when He brought over h-encore and vita shell through psvimgtool and opened them up within his vita, Mine said that I didn't have ownership so I gave up. Glad I found ur video. Takes a long time when u have a 64gb vita memory to backup though.

      I noticed that when I turned it on this time. It does say the tf card plugin in corrupt, but that's an easy fix if I'm worried about it...Thanks

    When I copied everything from my Vita to my sd card it only transferred like 30mb. It shows all hidden files and I selected all of them.

    Either your videos are too underrated.
    Or this system didn't sell too well.
    I wonder which one of these it is xD

    why don't you need the gamesd.skprx file in the ux0:tai folder (and also change the config.txt) as other video instructed to do so?
