Megathread - Ports / games wishlist

45 Upvotes

Hi all,

Creating this so that there aren't multiple posts asking for ports / games / what have you.

You're free to chat about them here though.

A new rule has also been created (No.7) to send mod notifications for them.

I'll flesh out the text here a bit better in future to highlight what people should consider when asking / talking about ports as well. (For example, is it opensource, has it been decompiled, what type of android games can potentially expect wrappers)

3.70 Firmware notes:

-The Vita master key was changed in the 3.70 firmware release, shortly after it had been publicly "unveiled" by the vita hacking community

-Game decryption keys have not been changed with the 3.70 release (reF00D/compatibility packs have not been broken)

3.69 Firmware notes:

-3.69 firmware was released by Sony to patch the h-encore exploit

PSN Access for 3.60-3.73 Users:

-Open Henkaku settings and enable Version Spoofing and set 'Spoofed Version' = 3.74

-Setup your network with Henkaku DNS settings

Sync Legit Trophies? -YES

Online Multiplayer? - YES

PSStore Access for Purchase and Download? - YES

Use Vitacheat and TropHAX online? - At your own risk

Prevent your Vita from Updating:

NOTE: PSVita firmware updates are not a typical modern-day concern, since downgrading firmware is available and simple to execute. Known exploits continue to work on most recent firmware (3.74). Preventing update is still a good practice in general.

-To disable the download of automatic firmware updates: Settings --> System --> Auto-Start Settings --> Uncheck "Download automatic update files"

-Setup your network with Henkaku DNS settings for an additional layer of update prevention. See here.

-If your console has downloaded the 3.73 update file, simply deleting the notification in LiveArea should remove the file from your system. Otherwise, firmware update files can be found in ud0:PSP2UPDATE/*

-Remember, unless you are running your vita in Demo mode, your console will not spontaneously install/update firmware software. There are legal reasons for this. Installation of any new software on your device requires your consent, (EULA).

0syscall6 lv0 secure_kernel syscall6 patch - can replace reF00d (SKGleba)

Discussion [Petition] Please Bring Back The Ability To Join On Going Games BLACK OPS ZOMBIES

Thumbnail

Upvotes

First of all, thanks to the Dev that is making all this possible **u/Devnoname120**

When multiplayer was released like 2 days ago, you were able to join games ASAP, on going games that have already started. It was a blast, having some free time and being able to jump in, shoot some zombies and have fun. This mechanic is known as Jump in/Jump out.

The last server update removed the ability to join on going games, now we have to create or join a lobby and wait for people to join. That way, if nobody is looking for a game at the same time as you, you are going to be waiting for someone to join in order to play online. Also, as soon as someone joins the lobby the countdown starts and the game starts with whoever is in the lobby. In this case, only 2 players, the host and the player that just joined. Leaving no on going 4 players games.

This lobby mechanic most of the times, harm games/gaming community, **WHY?** you might ask. It's because the game forces you to sit in the lobby, doing nothing other than waiting for someone that is trying to do the same exact thing as you, the chances of this happening are extremely slim in an already small community.

In the past, this decision has killed so many good games that are/were a blast to play online, since the population is so small, forcing the players to sit in the lobby waiting always ends in empty lobbies, since nobody is willing to wait for 20-30 minutes to try their luck and see if someone joins. That ends up killing the community.

We, as a homebrew community are super tiny, now add the people that have Black Ops Zombies, now add the free time, now the time zone we live in and so on, all those variables keep fragmenting even more the player base.

In my personal experience, I have waited in Black Ops Zombies for 30-40 minutes for someone to join and no luck, ended up playing something else on my PS5.

No game has ever made me so happy and willing to play in the last few years, like Black Ops Zombies on my vita, and that was because the online was available and we were able to jump in/jump out games. It's so much fun.

Having the jump in/Jump out mechanic was the way to go with this game and I really hope the dev reverts it back!

KEEP THE ONLINE COMMUNITY ALIVE!!!!!

Again, that's to **u/Devnoname120** for the hard work and time!

Loading the wrong map, errors joining rooms, ghost rooms, etc. they are all fixed so enjoy! No game update needed, all the fixes were server-side.

I also bought a second server for more stability, any donations are appreciated to help and reward me for my work. Thanks!

P. S. — I’m thinking about adding some реrkѕ for dоᥒоrѕ, like custom names, dоᥒоr vanity icon, possibly skins, etc.

HENkaku [RELEASE] reVita Extended

92 Upvotes

Not too long ago, I bought a L2/R2 grip and started using revita to make a good use of them.

I've always missed a few features in reVita, and after years of wanting to make something for the Vita myself, I finally decided to create a fork with several new features and fixes.

I'll be actively maintaining the project, so if you run into any problems, feel free to open an issue. I'll be glad to help!

The new features I implemented:

  • Release-triggered remaps
  • Wait-for-free swipes
  • Compound triggers
  • Display icons

Releases and more info about it are on the github page.

4 Upvotes

The plugin that I want to load is gepatch and Its not loading in the games. I remember pressing the shortcut to prevent plugins from loading, but after reopening the games, they've stayed that way and arent loading them anymore. I tried troubleshooting in adrenaline safe mode and even uninstalled it but remains the same. Any solutions?

News Xbox Cloud Gaming fonctionne maintenant sur PS Vita 🤯

8 Upvotes

C’est complètement fou : Xbox Cloud Gaming fonctionne maintenant sur PS Vita grâce à un nouveau homebrew appelé GreenVita.

Une console portable sortie en 2011 peut maintenant streamer des jeux Xbox modernes depuis le cloud. La communauté Vita continue vraiment de repousser les limites de cette console.

Il y a encore des problèmes de latence et de connexion, mais le fait que ce soit possible est déjà incroyable. La PS Vita n’est clairement pas morte.

Vous pensez quoi de ce projet ? Est-ce que vous testeriez Xbox Cloud Gaming sur votre Vita ? 🎮

DSVita 0.9.4

The release mostly contains QoL improvements made by AI

I've seen some misinformation claiming that DS emulation on the Vita was only made possible due to AI, that's obviously wrong. I only started to use AI because Fable got good enough, all earlier models were terrible. Also I am only using AI now since the only things left were QoL feature requests that are not hard but time intensive to implement.

Fable did manage to find 2 SDK functions that I overlooked in Pokemon HG/SS that can be emulated with HLE, which increases the emulation speed by 20%. Other common SDK functions were already emulated with HLE.

Edit:

It's not about Anti AI people discouraging me, I don't need motivation to prompt AI. It's rather about making sure that people understand that DS emulation was made possible because I put in 2,5 years work in this thing and made sure there are no wasted cpu cycles.

I was already pretty satisfied with an early version of 0.9.3 which pushed performance further, however I am simply too lazy and not motivated to implement all these QoL feature requests which can be done by the AI easily. If it wasn't for AI these features probably would have never made it in, except for maybe savestates.

USB C Mod Installation issue

Hi together,

was trying to remove the old charging port out of my Vita 1000 to install a USB C mod, but it seems like I accidentally stripped one of the board connectors.

Any piece of advice? Can I fix it or would it still work?

Many thanks!
