I did it!! I've always been on my dads account and I wanted to be on mine so bad but this video helped me out without having to buy a new memory card! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
So I see that the US Vita PSN store do not get updated much anymore. Some of the games are from 2012. So I switched to a Japanese account. Added 10000 Yen on it from an online store. Then I found out that the Hong Kong PSN store on the Vita have games from both US store and the Japanese store, and they are multilingal, meaning they have Chinese, Japanese, English, and Korean all in one. I am Chinese, and I can read Chinese. It seems that a lot of Vita game that got released from Japan are also on the Hong Kong store after a while, they might be translated to Chinese, or just kept in Japanese without any translation. In theory, is the Hong Kong PSN store the holy grail account for the Vita for buying games? Considering that you have to restore the system to switch account on the Vita. Can someone test this?
Sukhraj Grewal I'm not sure how factory resetting works with the vita. just to let you know. you will not be able to have online access if you are not on the current OS
herohunter81 hey man I made this video a while ago and I'm not too familiar with the software now. However, if the vita doesn't force you to format the card inserted when you switch the accounts then you should be able to. I am speaking from working computers though. The way the software works on a vita could potentially not let a memory card be used if data is on it. My best advice is to give it a shot and see if the vita software allows it.
HBguy I backed it up to my PS3 so hopefully I can get it back. I just want to play throughout the Vita with the DualShock when someone else needs the TV. I basically turned it into a tabletop Nintendo Switch.
So basically I have to delete my memory card cause I don’t want to buy another one and all my downloaded games I would have to re buy and download again ?
since i forgot my old account password and im not able to upload my games to save them like minecraft will the game still be on the device? or will i have to buy it again???
The game will still be on the device if you have not formatted it. Sucks that you don't remember your password but it's also not liable by me if you can't get your games back. If a new account is added and has a license for the game then you can play it but if not then you will need to buy it again or contact PlayStation customer support
RaveAndRay Gaming if they are downloaded you can't. The license is tied to the other account therefore you will not be able to play the game. Anything that bypasses this method is against Sonys terms and policies and could get your account possibly banned. This includes cracked psvita
ok my first account has a lot of games just by sycning would that save my game data then when im done with my second acoount then switch to my first account i will get all my games back and data
Chainman R all I did is what you see. you can save the game data to your memory card but that won't mean you can play the games on your other account. the only way you can play games on the other account if they are physical cartridges
HBguy ok thanks man it is because i mite get a ps4 and i want to use the second account on it and do the thing were u can use the duel shock 4 and controll the vita thanks so much for replying and nice vid.
If I have downloaded game on a memory card with my main account but I want to use a new account with another memory card and then in the future switch back to my main account/ memory card will the games be deleted?
im struggling because my sister also has the account that im trying to get off from and i have minecraft and i want to get dif accounts to multiplay will it work?
So HB guy I have a lot of games I BOUGHT on my cousins account and I want to make my own, But if I switch the account does that mean I have to PAY for the game again because I really don't want to waste money on the same game. PLZ reply as soon as possible and THANKS in advance
Qais Sabir you can only have onr psn account active on a single psvita. unless he let's you use his account on your vita you wouls have to buy the games again.
Hi, I have one memory card, can i use 2 account with 1 memory card ? Because I am not able to use my memory card on my second account! Am I doing something wrong ?
Muhammed Haji 2 accounts? So 2 vitas? It's possible that the memory card is can only be formatted to 1 vita. I would suggest just getting another memory card
So,if I switch accounts,the games on the old accounts will be gone,but if I switch back the accounts,will the data and the games come back? Or does the data get deleted in the process?
Naigi The Hoovy I made this video a while ago so bear with me hete. It first depends on where the save data for the game is being saved to. For instance with psp game(not vita) downloaded and bought on the store use saved data on drive you have in place for storage. However, some games do store the saved data inside the game itself essentially meaning if you delete the game then you delete the data on it. I would research each game to see if it stores inside the memory stick or the game itself.
Para Romance,ecchi,hentai hater trooper no idea mate, i work with computers so I would say that if it's like a jailbreak or root then it may not go away however if it seems that it has then your vita has only gotten rid of the files you can access therefore, the "hack" is still in there somewhere. future advice, don't do anything like a jailbreak or root to any device. it only hurts it
HBguy ah ok but i already found a software to switch accounts in one memory card but the most question i want to know.. if i restoring my system does the update that i didnt update automatically update my system while its restoring?
that's why I take you through saving your save files. if you do not have a license for the game on the other account then you will not be able to play it if it was downloaded
Sorry this video is almost 4 years old now. I'm a somewhat geru in computers but not the vita. I'm not even sure what cfw is. I would check to see if there is a vita subreddit for this question. Sorry.
Q1.the games i downloaded are by a code so would i be able to use that code again ?Q2. if i have the same game on a card (not downloaded) would my data from the downloaded game be on there?
#JUST_2_SICK# you don't need 2 memory sticks unless of course you want to use 2. The game data is stored on the stick not the game cartridge. And no the games by code will not work again. Using code will assign the license for the game on that account. Once any code is used once, it will not work again.
+Alec Fryer no? making an account is free on PSN. also if an account with Playstation plus is activated on a ps4 as its primary ps4 then all accounts on that ps4 will also have Playstation plus
im sorry but I think you are mistaken, if you buy a PS+ on 1 account I dont think that the other accounts (which are from diffrent region) will be able to share the benefits of that psn's PS+ membership.
If sub accounts carry over licenses from the main account then yes but I am unsure about that. I would look up on the Playstation forums or even forums in reddit about this. sorry I do not know exactly.
+Fb Kraazy uploading a saved data and downloading a game are different, that game will be uploaded to the cloud but you do not have to format your memory card
@@KrumzGaming as far as I'm aware. No card games install quickly but downloaded can't transfer over either. I suggest looking at other comments in this regard. Also I made this almost 4 years ago. I think I'll be updating the video soon after I find out what has changed in this system to now. I'll try to find any possible way to switch accounts without reformatting the whole system.
Ok thanks man i appreciate it I’m a trophy hunter and I have quite a few plats on my ps vita account that’s why I was wondering I also got REALLY far in my games
Edwin Campuzano Correct, reason being because there is no license activated on the new/other account. If you have the game cartridge then you would be able to

Why did Sony have to make it so hard. We didn’t have this with ps3/ps4
Can I know need to create a new account in order to change the region???
When u switch back 2 a old ps vita acc does all your game progress save
want to ask if i hav 2 mmc and 1 ps vita do i need to format the first mmc for the 1st accnt then insert the 2nd memory for my 2nd accnt?
does my system update if I restore? because I don't want it to be updated
Sukhraj Grewal
I'm not sure how factory resetting works with the vita. just to let you know. you will not be able to have online access if you are not on the current OS
Can I just back up my memory card then use it for another account? Then switch it back later too? Back and forth using the same memory card?

WHY DO YOU NEED TO HAVE A SECOND MEMORY CARD TO DOWNLOAD ANY OTHER GAMES!??!?!?!?!?!?? HELP!!
Chris Tscho you can get memory cards that hold more than your average one. for instance mine has 64 gigabytes
So basically I have to delete my memory card cause I don’t want to buy another one and all my downloaded games I would have to re buy and download again ?
You don't have to delete the games but you will need to buy the games again if the new account doesn't have a license for it.
since i forgot my old account password and im not able to upload my games to save them like minecraft will the game still be on the device? or will i have to buy it again???

ok. thanks! nice video btw.
Thank youuu
How can i sign in to onother account without loosing games?
RaveAndRay Gaming if they are downloaded you can't. The license is tied to the other account therefore you will not be able to play the game. Anything that bypasses this method is against Sonys terms and policies and could get your account possibly banned. This includes cracked psvita
+HBguy so it only delete downloaded games? Thx
How did you get UA-cam on psvita
3477crafy it's an application in the ps store
+HBguy is this for the fat psvit only because it doesn't let me on the slim
3477crafy UA-cam removed the app on the PS Vita years ago
Luis Maximino ok thanks
ManzalOfficial212 now you can just type in UA-cam in browser
If I have another memory card, when do I switch it?
Nii if you want to save your data on the new one you will switch it before restoring the system
ok my first account has a lot of games just by sycning would that save my game data then when im done with my second acoount then switch to my first account i will get all my games back and data
please help me reply
also did u deactive the game on the settings
Chainman R all I did is what you see. you can save the game data to your memory card but that won't mean you can play the games on your other account. the only way you can play games on the other account if they are physical cartridges

If I have downloaded game on a memory card with my main account but I want to use a new account with another memory card and then in the future switch back to my main account/ memory card will the games be deleted?
As long as you don't format the memory card however, due to licensing you will not be able to play on the new account
thx for the help
im struggling because my sister also has the account that im trying to get off from and i have minecraft and i want to get dif accounts to multiplay will it work?
one account can only go on a single ps vita.

Jenson Turner. yes, licences do not transfer varying the device but the account.

wait do you just take out the memory card and do the rest ??
pretty much just I recommend double checking all data and back it up anywat
Do u keep the games?
THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!!
If i do it my games are going to be at the begging?
Hamburger Man I'm confused by your question
HBguy if I do it,I will have my saves on the games?
that's why I take you through saving your save files. if you do not have a license for the game on the other account then you will not be able to play it if it was downloaded
HBguy ok thanks nice video
why my ps vita must enter the passcode
Hafiy Safwan for the internet, you must if you have a secure network or wi-fi
HBguy ok
Can you get free avatars on cfw vita?
Sorry this video is almost 4 years old now. I'm a somewhat geru in computers but not the vita. I'm not even sure what cfw is. I would check to see if there is a vita subreddit for this question. Sorry.
@@hbeardd3448 okay np thanks
Q1.the games i downloaded are by a code so would i be able to use that code again ?Q2. if i have the same game on a card (not downloaded) would my data from the downloaded game be on there?

#JUST_2_SICK# I'll probably redo these soon. Also I'm preparing to make a new account completely for gaming if you might be interested
If not need then I will try...
Do I need 2 different psn accounts
yes
+HBgamer doesn't that cost an extra 60 dollars a year though
+Alec Fryer no? making an account is free on PSN. also if an account with Playstation plus is activated on a ps4 as its primary ps4 then all accounts on that ps4 will also have Playstation plus

+zobinake, I was not aware of the different regions such as countries or time zones if this is true. besides that, my statement is very true.
can i use sub account using this method?
If sub accounts carry over licenses from the main account then yes but I am unsure about that. I would look up on the Playstation forums or even forums in reddit about this. sorry I do not know exactly.
im use the slim vita
if I have minecraft and I bought it on another account will I still have it
you'll probably still have it but since the license for the download is on the other account then more than likely you will not be able to
+HBguy what If I upload it I can't re- download it
