Your opinion are not relevant. If you have a company that makes this vita, will you doing the same thing as all modder did to your own product?? Then, where did you get the profit for your own company?? All manufactured company must be has many R&D which in that dept, off course you will see a lot of people with creativity and skill to doing all the modder did, but they not doing that.. If vita has built in usb port for cheap memory, then their can't selling their expensive memory card. And if all people can easily accessing memory because it using general thing like usb flashdisk, or micro sd, then it would be easier to hack vita long ago, as sony company, will you fool enough to doing that?? a Company is not talking about just some creativity to create things, but how to makes them producing more benefit and profit for their owner.. Remember that.
Here's a thought. There are USB sticks that have both USB-A and micro USB jacks on them. These are obviously intended for transferring files between PCs and smartphones without any need for a adapter. But would it be possible to plug such a device into the micro USB port on a Vita 2000? It'd save the bother of modifying a Vita 1000.
Am wondering if anything can be done to the 1st Gen Vita with the Accessory Port next to the Game Card Slot since Sony never decided to make anything for it. A USB Port for that would be nice so it can serve a purpose.
@@shivarampersaud2332 WOW this is awesome! will look into it, it seems people are experimenting with controllers and possible HDMI out, that would be huge, as it would turn the vita into a switch-like console. I need to buy a new one though, because the one from the video still works fine with all the mods after some minor tweaks and I don't want to risk it as it's my travel companion for long journeys ;)
Awesome video! Surprised I'm just now seeing this. I have a question for you though. Is it necessary to have the D+ and D- wired up for the charging port? Reason I ask is because I'm currently playing around with installing usb type-c to my vita.
@@coccoborg cool thats what I thought. With type c as being how it is as far as resistor setup and data line isolation goes my setup isn't working at the moment. Still have some more digging to do. Thanks for the info though!
I got a PSVita where the charging port is defect. Could I just resolder a microusb on the 4 point at the bottom (5v+, D+, D- and Gnd)? And it would work again like with the normal chargin port?
Are there any hardware adjustments or upgrade possible for the Slim models or js mainly just possible for the OLED 1000 models? Really interesting video btw mate!
Hi.... I have problem my vita not being detected by PC (Windows 10) using USB, let alone as a camera device. No matter whether I was using Vitashell or QCMA, it seems that the USB connection from my vita is not being detected at all. No notification sound or whatsoever. I'll try to connect to android box (using the USB Camera app) but still no luck. I've tried using 2 new cable but nothing being detected. Not even a Windows sound (as when detecting an USB connection). It seems like the USB data transfer has been disabled/ dead. But my Vita still can charge. My Vita is 1000 model on 3.60 Enso using SD2VITA 512GB full games with 8GB original Sony memory card, working well. I bought it second hand. I have 3 charging cables, all for test, but with no avail. They can charge but nothing on data transfer. When I plugged the cable, there wasn't a notification/ loading icon. What is wrong then?
I was looking in to possibly soldering a Qi wireless receiver in my vita. Though I think a custom PCB is a little out of my scope. Had you ever considered such a mod?
more than considered it: I tried it. Sadly the rear touch pad breaks when put onto a Qi charger. I strongly advise you don't attempt this, unless you're ready to kill rear touch for the sake of it.
@@coccoborg Are you aware of the underlying cause of the rear touch being damaged during the process of Qi charging? Was the coil on a component? Would proper shielding between the coil and components have any impact on the ability to complete this project? I'd rather not kill components for a novelty. So for the moment I will not attempt it.
Hi sir.. I know it's old.. but for the micro usb mod,, What wire gauge should I use? I will be using a 5v 2a Charger.. So should I use 24awg? or 26? Yes I am so noob. Thnks
TBH I think 26 will be fine, since the Vita only charges at 1A. Keep the cable runs nice and tidy and twist the data lines so that they catch the least interference possible.
chocograph they make USB drives that are no bigger than the connector itself, besides it's still far better than Sonys expensive and prone to fail proprietary cards
well theres also the sphere solid microsd hack removing the 3g module. or the sd 2 vita which just involves putting a converter card into the game slot.
Ciao Francesco, con il fusibile del VCC andato (no continuità) è possibile ancora creare una charging port ? Ho una wifi (trovata a 15€) e come alternativa pensavo di provare ad abilitare con un plugin il modulo 3g per vedere se la porta veniva alimentata e cercare di pullare da lì, purtroppo i pad dell'accessory port sono andati
Ciao, il fusibile VCC dovrebbe essere facile da sostituire con un analogo, basta un saldatore e un po' di pazienza. Non fare un ponticello, perché se il fusibile è saltato, potresti avere un corto da risolvere da qualche altra parte. Temo che quello che proponi (abilitare USB su una WiFi) sia impossibile. Le tracce non sono fisicamente collegate, a quello che so, ma sei libero di provare. Questo per quanto riguarda la parte dati per usare la porta interna (normalmente collegata alla scheda 3g + GPS) come host. Per caricare, una vilta ripristinato il fusibile, non devi collegarti all'USB interna, non funzionerebbe! So che i pad della porta accessori sono andati, ma sei sicuro che siano andate anche le tracce lì accanto? Se riesci a seguirle dalle schematiche online, dovresti poter saldare dei cavetti per aggiungere VCC D- D+ GND e collegarli a una micro USB per ripristinare tutte le funzionalità USB in modalità DEVICE (non host, quella va solo sulla 3G usando lo slot interno!)
I like the proprietary cable. It’s more durable than micro usb. Also why not do micro sd card board instead? Definitely get cheaper/faster storage and no need for modifications to the shell
nope, li-ion batteries require precise constant current charging and are very sensitive to over charging, even a few extra mV can damage the battery, sometimes overcharge can lead to explosions. This cell is meant to be charged to 4.2V, the USB standard is 5.0V.
Ciao Francesco, vorrei una piccola informazione. Sto per cimentarmi nel moddare la psvita. Ho letto su forum come gbatemp e altri siti, che senza un determinato plug-in, la porta usb non sarebbe utilizzabile. Volevo sapere se hai dovuto installare un determinato plug-in, oppure ha funzionato senza software aggiuntivo.
You mean if you charge the vita with a USB power bank? Yes the icon will show charging and the vita will behave just as if it was connected to the original charger.
my socket conector charger coriginal vita crash, and i change socket conector charger with conector micro usb but same not charging. and now i buy Universal IC easy chip charger, if i use univ' IC chip, show icon charging in the screen? thanks for replay
@@Salku_Chaotix sure, you can totally do this if your vita is a 3g model, be careful tho, this process is fiddly and the risk of breaking something is high. I take no responsability.
Hey you forgot that Yifan lu provided the pinout I just made it easier for people and experimented soon as I saw the pinout, I got direct transfer working with the switches but soon it'll all be automatic.
Instead of wiring it to female usb , does it fit if I directly solder it into a usbdrive(only the board) and put it inside the vita? If so how bad do you think the power consumption would be?
Yes it works, power consumption is around 0.3W on this flash drive, that will empty the battery quite quickly if you leave it plugged in, hence you'd better add a switch to disconnect the +5V line for when you're not using your vita.
Thanks for the info, Well I tried the micro usb mod..I believe I heated up a component too much while soldering, like you said dead usb. I"m pretty confident at DIY tinkering, however these components were simply too small/above my soldering skills. Now looking around for a used 3.60 main board. It's very cool you got yours working the way you did and bravo having tried it myself.
Do you still need "modified" VitaShell to get USB on portable Vita, if using ver 1.98 now. (PSTV users still insist no USB on portable Vita...). If so, you don't have file at link anymore
@pak eco420 I suppose you could try with an external enclosure as you would with a pstv, but keep in mind that the vita has no SATA drivers, it is not a regular PC after all, PCI-e NVMe is out of the question as well as the lanes are not provided by the rather old CPU.
Would be cool, but no speed advantage would result from this, you'd just have a different port, this is because the Vita only has a 2.0 controller internally
That's what I want to do, so I can have the peace of mind that it will plug in regardless of the direction of the mini connector thus making a stronger & more firm tighter connection.
How about Wi-Fi connection? Can you the wi-fi card with this mod? The new Quake 2 port supports newtwork play so... Is this the stock Vitashell or something hacked? Where can we get one?
I only removed the 3g card, wifi works just fine. I had to use a modified version of vitashell provided by Zexceil, but I believe this will become a standard feature when Henkaku Enso is released.
Ciao Francesco , bel video ! complimenti . Possiedo una PS vita modello 3g , ma non si accende . Online non riesco a trovare lo schematic della mainboard per tentare una riparazione . La mia ps vita se messa sotto carica senza batteria si accende la luce arancione ma con intensità debole e se provo a premere il pulsante d'accensione , la luce arancione aumenta di intensità. Se provo a caricarla con la batteria inserita ( appena comprata nuova) non succede nulla , nessuna luce . Volevo chiederti un consiglio su come procedere per la riparazione . Grazie !
probabilmente si è bruciato un fusibile da qualche parte, temo che di schematiche complete non ce ne siano, però potrei sbagliarmi, prova a cercare psvita boardview su google, è un software molto diffuso per vedere pcb, se la schematica esiste, qualcuno la avrà caricata in quel formato.
Someone would have to write a driver for that. I don't think there's enough of a desire from the community to do that, other factors will be limiting the vita's performance before WiFi does.
Fantastico tutorial, sicuramente finiti gli esami faccio pure io, magari metto una usb micro da usare con cavo OTG sostituendola alla "accessory port" che sony non ha mai utilizzato, ho una 3G, guardando bene le due schede madri si nota che comunque i pad per lo slot di forma mini pci ci sono pure lì, chissà se saldando pure su una wifi only funziona, hai info al riguardo? (sono fiducioso perchè Sony alla fine non cambia molto le cose tra i modelli, ho lo slot micro sd nella psp go perchè non usava le nuove possibilità di alimentazione a bassa tensione delle memory stick M2, quindi non c'era alcuna differenza dell'interfaccia a parte il fattore di forma e funziona l'adattatore sd per psp normale)
A livello hardware le tracce sono lì, però temo che il sistema faccia distinzione fra i due modelli di scheda madre e attivi la connessione usb solo sul modello 3g; è possibile che in futuro qualcuno trovi un modo di renderla funzionante, ma ora come ora il problema è software e non risolvibile. La soluzione se hai una Vita WiFi è ordinare dalla Cina una scheda madre 3g a 25-30€ circa e sostituirla alla tua.

Grazie mille, magari potrei fare una prova se un amico me ne porta una per una piccola riparazione, in fondo sono solo due fili, lo testo subito usando un hub usb alimentato ed un pendrive. Visto che Sony non cambia molto le cose ed aveva già dichiarato che sul modello 1000 ad esempio ci sono quasi tutti i componenti presenti su PS TV (riguardo la parte video, poi inutilizzata), penso che la presa USB HOST della PS TV sia proprio derivata da quella interfaccia lì, avranno risparmiato soldi sulla progettazione di PS TV immagino, visto che i firmware sono gli stessi, al massimo ci sarà da fare qualche "fix di registro", cosa che hai comunque già suggerito. (volevo anche mettere la pulce nell'orecchio che magari ti capita di provarlo prima di me) Grazie per il tuo tempo, gentilissmo.
If you need more specific pictures I should still have them, but to be honest this mod isn't very useful nowadays, since you can get a cheap SD2Vita adapter and call it a day :)
@@starc2k oh ok, supposing the problem is the port itself and not the motherboard, you can solder 2 wires for +5V and GND to try providing power externally, if it works you can replace to port, or do what I did and add a micro USB one. At 7:45 the little component with "SB" written on it is a protection fuse for the input power, just solder a red wire to it and a black one to any ground on the port :)
I'm currently trying to figure out how to do this properly on a 1000 model. Thus far my type c port only allows me to charge other devices with the vita main charger plugged in. Cool, but not what I'm wanting.
That's what I want to do, so I can have the peace of mind that it will plug in regardless of the direction of the mini connector thus making a stronger & more firm tighter connection.
I beg to differ. I cannot be the only one that has a ton of physical games for the vita, this kind of mod would allow me to keep using my games and have the option to use a microsd card as ux0 for digital games. What I would like to see is the proprietary card slot removed and replaced with a microsd one so the mod would be invisible
GRANDE! senti funziona bene anche adrenaline? e una cosa importante si può disattivare? e se per caso tolgo la micro sd rischio qualcosa? anche se lo faccio durante un caricamento (tipo cancellazione salvataggio ecc)((ovviamente so che il file che sto cancellando o salvando si corrompe ma io mi riferisco alla psvita in se) grazie mille se mi rispondi, sei forse l'unico che mi può togliere questo dubbio
Sorry about that, must have broken it reorganizing my folders some time ago. On the plus side the regular release of the software now supports USB out of the box!
It's not illegal to do this, so long as you don't pirate games. It may be ruled illegal in the future, but for now, if you own the device, nobody is going to explicitly stop you from doing this.
the comunity of psvita user has done so much for the psvita that sony should be in shame right now

yeah there are official adapters for it I think, some people just like the sleek design I guess.

Why don't you use a smaller usb drive instead of a large clunky one? They're super cheap now
I do now :)

nope, li-ion batteries require precise constant current charging and are very sensitive to over charging, even a few extra mV can damage the battery, sometimes overcharge can lead to explosions. This cell is meant to be charged to 4.2V, the USB standard is 5.0V.

I wish there was a simple instructional video for an idiot like me to follow step by step :(
Brilliant video, though :)
I know, wish I could have done that, but it'd have taken a lot of effort, plus it's not easy even with a full tutorial
Hey can u connect that a 5ghz USB wifi adapter?
Because Vita WiFi is worse
Someone would have to write a driver for that. I don't think there's enough of a desire from the community to do that, other factors will be limiting the vita's performance before WiFi does.
@@coccoborg it's could be amazing for remoteplay
Fantastico tutorial, sicuramente finiti gli esami faccio pure io, magari metto una usb micro da usare con cavo OTG sostituendola alla "accessory port" che sony non ha mai utilizzato, ho una 3G, guardando bene le due schede madri si nota che comunque i pad per lo slot di forma mini pci ci sono pure lì, chissà se saldando pure su una wifi only funziona, hai info al riguardo? (sono fiducioso perchè Sony alla fine non cambia molto le cose tra i modelli, ho lo slot micro sd nella psp go perchè non usava le nuove possibilità di alimentazione a bassa tensione delle memory stick M2, quindi non c'era alcuna differenza dell'interfaccia a parte il fattore di forma e funziona l'adattatore sd per psp normale)
vedo che forse manca anche qualche componente smd forse capacità e resistenze
A livello hardware le tracce sono lì, però temo che il sistema faccia distinzione fra i due modelli di scheda madre e attivi la connessione usb solo sul modello 3g; è possibile che in futuro qualcuno trovi un modo di renderla funzionante, ma ora come ora il problema è software e non risolvibile. La soluzione se hai una Vita WiFi è ordinare dalla Cina una scheda madre 3g a 25-30€ circa e sostituirla alla tua.

Grazie mille, magari potrei fare una prova se un amico me ne porta una per una piccola riparazione, in fondo sono solo due fili, lo testo subito usando un hub usb alimentato ed un pendrive. Visto che Sony non cambia molto le cose ed aveva già dichiarato che sul modello 1000 ad esempio ci sono quasi tutti i componenti presenti su PS TV (riguardo la parte video, poi inutilizzata), penso che la presa USB HOST della PS TV sia proprio derivata da quella interfaccia lì, avranno risparmiato soldi sulla progettazione di PS TV immagino, visto che i firmware sono gli stessi, al massimo ci sarà da fare qualche "fix di registro", cosa che hai comunque già suggerito. (volevo anche mettere la pulce nell'orecchio che magari ti capita di provarlo prima di me) Grazie per il tuo tempo, gentilissmo.
malandruxxx ok, lascia fare, mi hanno spiegato che non c'è speranza
Nice~
But I'll stick with 16gb.
Good job but Chose usb drive mor tiny not so big
What i want to see is removed that vita card slot and replace it with micro sd slot that would be nice.
Will this only woke on teh 3g model?
Like put the micro usb in the mystery port
Or replace the normal charging port
Yeah, only the 3g model has the internal usb modem, I didn't want to remove the original charging port just in case I later want to use a vita dock.
@@coccoborg could I replace the mystery port with a micro USB?
Good graphics
only good mod for that is bigger storage cards.
Show da para colocar um HD externo na porta usb ou direto no hd .
can u share the photos u make? i want to make the same mod to my old psvita 3g
If you need more specific pictures I should still have them, but to be honest this mod isn't very useful nowadays, since you can get a cheap SD2Vita adapter and call it a day :)
@@coccoborg thanks for ur answer. the matter its not sd2vita, its charging port! my old psvita 1000 chrging port its dead
@@starc2k oh ok, supposing the problem is the port itself and not the motherboard, you can solder 2 wires for +5V and GND to try providing power externally, if it works you can replace to port, or do what I did and add a micro USB one. At 7:45 the little component with "SB" written on it is a protection fuse for the input power, just solder a red wire to it and a black one to any ground on the port :)
@@coccoborg thanks. could u send me the pictures u posted on this video? (to clarify myself)
@@starc2k yes, give me an email address :)
where to get the part
Change a ps vita 2000 to a type-c. That would be lovely.
I'm currently trying to figure out how to do this properly on a 1000 model. Thus far my type c port only allows me to charge other devices with the vita main charger plugged in. Cool, but not what I'm wanting.
That's what I want to do, so I can have the peace of mind that it will plug in regardless of the direction of the mini connector thus making a stronger & more firm tighter connection.
is there any chance to put a hdmi mod to a psvita?
sadly, no. Video output is nonexistent on the pcb
Parts list with links?
Buen video
Can I just use a female to female usb cable?
Видео бы полностью, как делал.
Any solution
This mod is compatible with ps vita wifi models?
unfortunately, no, but with the gamecard->microsd adapters becoming available, there will be no need for this mod :)
I beg to differ. I cannot be the only one that has a ton of physical games for the vita, this kind of mod would allow me to keep using my games and have the option to use a microsd card as ux0 for digital games. What I would like to see is the proprietary card slot removed and replaced with a microsd one so the mod would be invisible
Link for mod apk not working
I know, that's because new vitashell now supports this by default!
Can't you just yank it out?
Noice!
Please teach me how
bravo france
Is it safe
i wait you for HENkaku EnsO! you make a video about?
sai, mi fa piacere vedere un italiano interessato a tutto ciò ;)
Enso è uscito oggi! guarda il sito ufficiale, c'è già tutto, lo ho appena installato sulla mia e funziona
GRANDE! senti funziona bene anche adrenaline? e una cosa importante si può disattivare? e se per caso tolgo la micro sd rischio qualcosa? anche se lo faccio durante un caricamento (tipo cancellazione salvataggio ecc)((ovviamente so che il file che sto cancellando o salvando si corrompe ma io mi riferisco alla psvita in se)
grazie mille se mi rispondi, sei forse l'unico che mi può togliere questo dubbio
Sick FK
bill hack sho italin version grandissimo xD ps mi son dato al raspian e il portatilino non e venuto male
figo! ma non lo vedo sul tuo canale, è un peccato! Voglio vedere che è venuto fuori :)

Only work in Vita with 3G? :( and vita wifi?
Marium Narvía yup, only Vita 3g, sorry
Thanks, although I tried anyway unsuccessfully jeje :P Congratulations, very very nice mod :D
the link dropbox is trash
Sorry about that, must have broken it reorganizing my folders some time ago. On the plus side the regular release of the software now supports USB out of the box!
What would Sony think about that, is it legal ?
It's not illegal to do this, so long as you don't pirate games. It may be ruled illegal in the future, but for now, if you own the device, nobody is going to explicitly stop you from doing this.
The device is mine, I can do whatever I want to it, for the time being at least.
