When it comes to ports on VitaDB Downloader like GTA San Andreas and others, there are additional set up items you need to download to get them working, and I unfortunately can not show you/teach you how to do this, because it falls under the piracy side of things legally because you I would be showing you in a video how to download a games core files and source code, which is very illegal and will get my channel shut down. I also can not show you how to get Roms for the emulators for the very same reason,
One other thing that I will mention however is, when it comes to running ported games like this, it requires you to over-clock your ps vita/ps tv, which your device can not handle doing for long periods of time, and usually results in your ps vita having a GPU crash. I will never teach you how to do something that can for sure mess up your device. That's the last thing I want to happen. Although playing GTA San Andreas on the PS Vita is a fun concept, I don't really recommend it. There are several other ROMs, Homebrew and other games to enjoy in its place that won't slowly deteriorate the lifespan of your PS Vita like GTA San Andreas would. I am pinning this comment as well to get the word out there, and I apologize for not putting it in the video. As always, stay tuned for the next videos this weekend and happy hacking!
But do you know where to get these roms or the ports? I am very new to this and I would like to know where to get these roms and stuff.
Aw man:( i always wanted to play gta sa in my ps vita.
This is the guy I been looking for right to the point n no bs
Thank you so much for that and thank you for watching!
Instant Sub Thank you Bro I’m currently going through all your videos trying to understand this more! I’m low key scared to try and jailbreak my vita again
Wait, are you saying that you were previously on custom firmware before?
@@technic1109 No I had bought one brand new from Japan, and then found out that you can jailbreak it without a pc so I had actually jailbroken the device but it was running slow so I had low key got scared Bro and factory reset my Vita back to Original! I had actually done this a few times now, but I FINALLY got it jailbroken Thanks to your Videos and you were the only person to show how to use The PS Vita once I had finally gotten it! Once again THANK YOU BRO! I only did it for one game lmao 🤣 Def Jam fight for NY!!
A Great video that's straight to the point! subscribed
Thank you for that and for subscribing!
I like your videos but I’m having a issue where after trying to download the first things it will stop and won’t download sharkfood
Great video mate! , subscribed 🤘🏽
Hey Nic. First of all thanks for all the help. It’s been amazing breathing new life into my Vita. Just wondering if there’s a download similar to the PKG one which will provide the ability to download non-vita roms directly to the vita (such as SNES games)? Which then in-turn could be played using an emulator from vita do downloader. Thanks again
Hey love the video bro do you think you can show us how to install roms to the mgba
❤❤ nicely done ❤
Thank you very much for that! More videos coming this weekend!
best tutorial out there 5 out of 5
Thank you so much for that! More videos coming this weekend!
Thank you! I finally found a video on how to download emulators without using a PC 🙌🏾🙌🏾
And thank you for watching!
How do you get roms on the vita once the emu is downloaded ?
Thank you great video
Thank you so much! 2 new videos coming this weekend!
Subscribed to you :)
Thank you for that, and thank you for watching!
Great video
TY SO MUCHHHHH!
No problem, and thank you for watching!
Can you make more videos about using Vita DB downloader and running emulators?
great tutorial 🤝 like you said at the end, could you possibly show acceding rom folders in the gba app amongst other emulators? also, hyped for that documentary!
The Vita DB downloader is giving an error on my PSVita, what do I do?
Could you possibly do a video on vitacheat?
Great content. You helped me out a lot.
As much as I want to, Vitacheat is one of the ways that you can get your psn banned if used online, and I would never teach anything towards that. I apologize, but I hope you understand.
Thanks.
I like your videos but I’m having a issue where after trying to download the first things it will stop and won’t download sharkfood
Thank you so much for this.. can you show us how to actually get the Roms on.. I'm not very savvy with this stuff
Thank you for watching! I unfortunately can't show you how to get roms because that would be illegal for me to do so 😅.
Glad i decided to click on this AFTER i confirmed the download on retroarch 😅. Guess that’s more time to watch some tech nic vids
Where can i find info on how to set up Game Ports?
I don't see that vitadb downloader option when I go to viradeploy
Which one is the better NES and SNES emulator?
It keeps crashing for me do I need to delete and re-download?
How do I add games to these emulators? I am all ready to go with my roms just need to know how to load them. Did you make a video
after i follower da settings setup i don’t see da new version i see da old
definitely should do a video on ports
As much as I want to, and I really do want to, it deals with downloading source code from games, which is very illegal to show on a video 😅. The video and most likely my channel would get taken down after that. I apologize, and I hope you understand.
@@technic1109 i understand thank you anyway🙏🏼
It doesn’t work any more , is there an alternative?
Im stuck on installing the vita DB it’s repeating installing shark food
Mine just keeps redownloading and installing sharkfood over and over :/
You’re awesome.
Not as awesome as you are! Thank you for watching!
Wait so after downloading ports we click into ports and what’s next step to actually playing game on port
Hey man! Could you make a video on the basics of using emulators for us who are totally new to this stuff? Like me!!
Also: a video or written manual on downloading the "better Retroarch" you talked about in the guide. I am completely lost when it comes to this stuff so a tutorial for the basic ins and outs would be great.
Thanks for your videos bro! Keep it up
For the retroarch video, that's already in the works. As far as the videos on how the emulators work, I can definitely do that as well! Most of the emulators have the same functions as far as save states and load states go though. Once I teach you the basics of one emulator, a lot of them will have the same functions.
The only thing that I can not teach you is how to get ROMs
Wait, can't you change the interface for retroarch on this version? Thank you for the vid. It's been very helpful.
From what I've done in the past, you had to drop a file in the retroarch folder in your vitashell to change the interface, but I'll be dropping a video on it this weekend. It'll be a much faster installation than the vitadb one.
@@technic1109 I see, thanks! Can't wait for the next vid!
@5Ichigo8 I'm definitely learning a lot more about retroarch as I'm making it lol. Thank you for watching!
@Tech Nic You're doing fine. As far as I know, you made it simpler than most creators. Keep it up 💯
@@technic1109 can you make a video of you uninstalling retroarch? Is it as easy as just deleting the app or do I have to find system files elsewhere, if so where are those file I need to delete. I’ve heard that there is a Crazy Mac 20 gig download that has retroarch with a bunch of games, that’s what I’m interested in doing.
Does connecting to a Wi-Fi disable the modification or does this do it offline?
I’m new to this that’s why I’m wondering what to do. I just bought a ps Vita but has only n64 roms and pkg etc
My download is stuck at sharkfood is there anything i can do ??
How do we get the roms for the emulators… where do we download them ..?
When opening vitadb downloader sharkfood opens but stops after 3 lines of text
What if I pressed no for the vita db downloader prompt? Can I do something to “yes” that prompt later on?
I try to open the VitaDeploy but it says "insert a PS Vita card that contains this application." Is it safe to install VitaDeploy?
I pressed No on the plug-in prompt accidentally. How can I fix this? Please help :(
I downloaded mgba but no games where in there do we have to install the games as well ? Or how do I play the games
Hey first thanks a whole bunch. Second how can I get some of the games for chimeraSNES? I don't know how to find the games or download them
I accidentally hit no on the plugin install prompt lol. Is there a different way to install the plugin?
I know you said you can’t make a video on Ports because of legal reasons, but can you tell me where I can go to find the information? You said that most of them require a set up to run it and I have no idea where to look for that info.
It's kind of a double edge sword. You're basically looking up illegal content, and most of that stuff requires you to overclock your ps vita, which will result in your ps vita having multiple gpu crashes, which can very quickly shorten the life of your ps vita. I don't want to teach anyone about it because the end result will be your ps vita getting damaged, and I'm not going to teach anyone anything that has to do with that if that is the end result. I apologize, but I hope you understand.
when i go into DB downloader it keeps going to donload shrak food why?
In the video at 4:24 you said to click yes to the prompt for the plug in before I saw this video I clicked no do I have to delete the app and download it again since I did this? So far the app has been working what are your suggestions and thank you for the video
If the app is working fine, no need to delete. If problems do occur later on however, deleting the app and a quick reinstall will fix it.
Hope this helps!
do i have to get files from a computer to get games or do the emulators come with games?
4:25 what if i said no? i did this yesterday, is there a way to fix it?
hi, quick question, how do i play games on the emulators?
so roms are already downloaded in a folder when u boot up the mgba emulator? u just have to create a new folder and move those roms there?
No, Roms are not in the folder. You have to find your own roms unfortunately. It would be illegal for me to provide them.
I deleted sharkf00d without knowing what it was mistakenly, is that gonna cause any issues? What even is it anyway?
I have a jail broken Vita. But that db downloader isn’t on the list??
since you are the only youtuber actually giving good advice, Is it safe to link my psn with my modded psvita?
It is absolutely safe to link your PSN with a PS Vita on custom firmware, and it is near impossible for your account to be banned. I say near impossible because there are actually 2 guaranteed ways for your account to be banned:
1. Using VitaCheat online
2. Hacking in Trophies to your PSN
It basically boils down to you trying to hack/cheat anything online will 100% get you banned. That's you trying to hack an online server, which from a cybersecurity student standpoint is a really bad idea considering there's no way to hide yourself as your doing this.
I am not talking about playing a downloaded Item from PKGJ or any ROM, I'm talking about if you are using a cheat that gives you unlimited health in an online game or trying to hack in trophy completions on a game.
@@technic1109 nah i like grinding.. I should be ok then. One more question ( You are the only one that replies) If i already have an original 8gb memory card on my vita, can i also put in my sd2vita and have them both work? (i am new to this since i only owned a vita back in 2015 for 2 months)
@@LilWheez No worries, always happy to help! Both will theoretically work as storage devices, but only one can be used as the main storage device "ux0" if that makes sense. You always want the storage device with the largest storage amount as the ux0.
So I can download and play all the games it shows when vitadb first loads up just fine without anything else? And I can download emulators but need to get the roms on the vita thru vitashell myself? Confused and I think I got parts of those 2 things mixed up but idk need to make sure for my own sake lol
No worries! Not all of the games on Vitadb, some of the game ports require additional setup, and yup, you can get the emulators but the roms you would have to get yourself, and I can not teach how to do either of those unfortunately because it would show me pirating in a video.
Alright I downloaded mGBA successfully but how do i get the rooms to play?
I am following your step. but my vitaDB downloader cannot downloat runtime. only downloading the sharkfood at this moment.
Try to reboot the ps vita and try again.
Thank you for the awesome tutorials on this! I do have one issue though and that's with VitaDB Downloader. It goes through and installs PSM runtimes ok but at sharkfood one of two things happen, either it will freeze on downloading sharkfood and stay at 0% or show downloading sharkfood 0% then extracting sharkfood 0% then installing 0% but then exits out of the application.
It did not install sharkfood at all. I went through the comments and saw someone else had a similar issue and I followed your tutorials. I check there is only one tai folder in the correct place, I have a 256GB SD and formatted like you showed. Any ideas on how to fix this? Can I manually install sharkfood?
Looking forward to your next videos!
No worries, and sorry for the late reply. When this happens, it could be one of 2 things:
1. The wifi temporarily had an error an the instilation failed.
2. The app glitched on the install, and it was actually installed correctly but didn't show it happen.
If you can download things from vitadb and they work, than the installation worked.
If it still doesn't work, than a full reinstall is necessary for vitadb/sharkfood
Hope this helps!
I got some problem with the installation. Mine stuck at downloading icon 6.70mb/6.70mb for like 3 hours
Hey me too it got stuck showing that “downloading apps icons (1/1)” what did you do to make it work?
Does this work with 3.67?
I downloaded The retroarch through Vita Db but I have no games
I hve vitadb downloaded without shark food will it still work
Hi what I'm do it's doesn't have a vitadeploy?
ok so i downloaded these emulator, now what? where can I download roms from?
Etsy has some sellers that bundle 1000s of games for different consoles for cheap. Skip those other sketchy websites
can u help me get pokemon games on mgba? I have seen many tutorials and I have no I clue how to do the computer file thing and putting pokemon on it, if u can help me that would be awesome
When installing sharkfood, the ps Vita reboots and I have to redownload everything otherwise I get an error when opening apps
Do you have a memory card or SD2vita in your PS Vita? If so, do you have a lot of storage space for the applications?
my db downloaded stills looks da same ??
Greetings.
I have watched your latest videos on PS Vita hacking and I just have one question. Is it okay to stay online with your psn account even with the spoofing option? Or if you play online and so one, you I'll eventually get your account banned?
Thank you.
Good afternoon! As long as you're spoofing to the latest firmware, It's actually near impossible to get your account banned. I say near impossible because there are actually 2 guaranteed ways to get your account banned:
1. Hacking in trophies
2. Using Vitacheat online
Hope this helps!
@@technic1109 Thank you. 👍
@RenatoFilipeOS no problem and happy hacking!
Will it download games with the emulators
Hey can you make a video on where to store your roms
Absolutely! I think a re-upload may be in order, but then again, vitashell itself needs its own explanation as well, so I'll make a vitashell deep dive video!
@@technic1109 Ok and Thank You
What exactly do you use to record your Vita screen?
I explained it in one of my videos. I'm using a ps tv combined with an HDMI splitter to get rid of the HDCP, a capture card and 2 hdmi cables. It's an absolute nightmare of a set up that I don't recommend anyone do because all of these parts combined are way too expensive, but it provides the best results for capturing the ps vita's screen and audio. However, a similar result can be achieved on the ps vita by enabling a plugin, but you won't be able to record the audio. A better version of this is something called a Vita Dock, but this is something you have to build yourself with a raspberry pi.
czcams.com/video/xIpZYHQNvRk/video.html
I explain it at the 8 minute mark
But how do you add the games
Help.
My son shut down the system before it installed.
Keeps giving an error.
C2-12828-1
No worries! C2-12828-1 is a generic error that usually solves itself after rebooting the PS Vita. Please try rebooting the PS Vita.
awesome
Thank you for that!
@@technic1109 hey can you pls do a video on how to get ufc 2010 on psvita or just how to copy files from ur phone or pc to an sd card and how to set the game up onto adrenaline its super hard and I can't figure it out.
Thanks!!
@raza2548 if it deals with copying game files, I can't show how to do that in a video. I can however show you how to transfer files from a phone to a ps vita via FTP transfer in a video.
Error VitaDeploy failed to download Vita DB...
I’m making an updated video today. Time to come out of retirement.
i accidentally hit no what do i do
Another thing I wanted to ask is that I downloaded vitaDB and it downloaded sharkfood but then sharkfood kicks me out and just stops. It doesn’t continue after that. If I click the vitaDB bubble it just downloads sharkfood, opens sharkfood but then I get kicked out and it does nothing else.
I would try to uninstall both sharkfood and VitaDB and download vitaDB again from vitadeploy. If that doesn't work, give me some time to try to find the Sharkfood and VitaDB inside vitashell, because those source files may need to be deleted as well.
@@technic1109 VitaDB isn’t on Vitadeploy for me, what can I do i’m having the same problem^
@@technic1109 This is unfortunately happening to me as well. But I also had an issue prior to sharkfood where the psm stuff installed fine but the PS3 style package installer did not finish so I closed it and it just jumped right to sharkfood this is where the same thing happened to me as the OP. I uninstalled both vitaDB and sharkfood and when I reinstall vitaDB it will just instantly try to download/install sharkfood and once complete it opens briefly and just closes with an error in the top left that I can't read in time. The reason it didn't go initially I think is I didn't have PKGj installed, but even with it installed now I can't get the PS3 style package installer back to get that installed.
Hello, the sharkfood application open for 1 second and not running
What can i do?
Regards
If you are still able to use the Vitadb as normal, then it was just more of a glitch. If not, check to see if you have the latest version of vitadeploy installed.
I've seen someone else in the comment section with a similar problem.
Okay, I downloaded the emulator, linked my Vita up to the PC, downloaded the ROMs to it, but I can't find them anywhere. I'm having this issue with mGBA and Daedalusx64. Please help. I'm getting really frustrated.
What is roms
Did you fix it? Were you able to play them?
Ok got the emulators downloaded but when I enter app no games? What’s next?
I apologize, but I can not teach you where to illegally download roms, but I will say that they are very easy to find.
On modded ps vita can I play wwe svr on it?
Well Unfortunately I already started the download for RetroArch on the Vita then found this video after it was 90% done
you can also play ps2 games
woops… i hit no on the checking automatically every hour x.x
I don't see the vita dB downloader 😊
Once mine hits the shark food download it won’t go to the ps3 looking download
Does the VitaDB application work? Can you download things from it?
I believe I already asked for this but can we get a video on how to get roms
At 1:28 you go to "vitadb downloader" which is situated below vita shell on your device. On mine though it's "vita homebrew browser" instead? What should I do?? Thanks
You may have an older version of Vitadeploy installed. Delete your current vitadeploy app, go to the internet browser on your ps vita and go to the following website:
jailbreak.psp2.dev
Then after it goes into the bootstrap menu, click on the "Install VitaDeploy" option. You can then exit the bootstrap menu and you will then be able to follow the guide.
Hope this helps!
@@technic1109 your a star 👍
@benrichards399 glad that it worked put for you!
I had same problem lol thanks!
@@lex2866 No problem, and I'm glad your issue was solved as well!
How ro get a vita deploy
How can I download kubridge to run gta
I really do apologize, but I can't teach you how to install anything on GTA San Andreas or any other port. It falls into the piracy side of things.
Ok so I did it all, and it was all working perfectly, then I turned on my vita, it said it was updating or something, then I go into it and all the stuff was gone, the henkaku was still in the settings but everything else was gone, so I tried to redownload vitadeploy and it wouldn’t, so I factory resent my ps vita hopping somehow this would fix all my problems and I could just reinstall everything back after, but when I went to go download vitadiploy again it showed the same error, please help my I don’t know what to do.
I am very sorry, because you did a factory data reset, you must do a fresh install of everything now. You must update your system and downgrade/install custom firmware again. If you have an SD2Vita, I highly recommend making a backup of all of your files that were on there, and then format the micro SD Card to do a fresh install as well. I'm very sorry that this has happened to you, but in the future, please do not immediately go the route of doing a factory data reset, sometimes doing another reboot will usually fix the issue. From the original issue, It sounded like the SD2Vita was maybe removed at some point? Is that correct?
I’m sorry I don’t know what the sd2vita is?
And then also I don’t mind going through the set up process again, I just the other day set my vita up the the hack, but it’s resetting the system that I don’t know how to do
@@pocketc0mb No worries, and all you have to do is update the ps vita to the latest firmware and go through the procedure of installing custom firmware again.
After about an hour an a half of looking up things and messing around with things i FINALLY GOT IT WORKING!!!! Thank you so much for the help
I tryed downloading the db downloader and I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong but it would load fine on till the sharkfood app,and when it try’s to install it never does.can anyone help me out with this issue I know it takes a while but I would wait and nothing happens.I’ve waited over 15 minutes and nothing so please if anyone knows how to fix it this issue I will really appreciate it.thanks
Remove the vitadb downloader app and the sharkfood app. Turn off your device completely and turn it back on, download the app again and try again.
Let me know if that works for you. If not, ill need a bit more information about your device.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for replying to me.I did exactly what you said and still it does that,I even went as far as deleting everything and factory reset my vita.I own a psp vita 1000.went through the whole process again,redownload everything app as well as jailbreaking the vita but everytime I open the do vita download app it would go through the first two phases but when it try’s to download the shark food app it freezes.any help would be appreciated once again thank you for your help
@@DESIGNYOURLIFR Do you have a memory card in your ps vita?
Yes
8gb
With the Roma I have where do I put it in my vita do I make a folder on uxO?
Yup! Make a folder in the ux0 and add roms to that, and then scan that directory in retroarch or any emulator that you are using.
@@technic1109 i appreciate the response you have a sub
@@LYKNgaming Thank you for that, and I will always try to respond to comments as soon as I can!
Do you recommend getting a VPN before pirating games?
I can not answer this question.
@Tech Nic ah, my bad, Let me rephrase that. Should I use a VPN when downloading "items"?
If you still can't answer then that's fine too. Thank you for the awesome tutorials. I just got a vita and wanted to get into modding!
@@ramsteele904 Look no further than my channel if you wanted to get into modding! There are full start to finish tutorials to get the full experience out of a PS Vita on custom firmware.
As for your question, it's more of a preference thing. Technically, when it comes to downloading those types of items, this is under the assumption that you own the physical item as well, but that being said, the website that hosts the items are who "they" usually go after, not the people doing the downloading. It is a bigger issue to distribute rather than to partake in the distribution. It's more preference of whether you want to use a vpn or not.
Hope all this helps!
Is there way to delete vitadb I accidentally clicked no
Set to the original settings and hack it again( i bad speak engl)
VitaDB stop working! Installed and reinstalled but no longer working any fix around this?
Sometimes Vitadb itself has issues on their end. It's not working for me as well. Give it some time.
@@technic1109 had to reformat my memory card then reinstall everything and after had to manually install PSM files one by one before reloading vitaDB and then sharkfood! Worked! Try that. But now I have another issues updated flycast to the newer version but my games show greyed out and no longer showing as a core in retro arch
@@alexsarabia2190 Glad that worked for you! As far as Flycast, I'm still getting familiar with it myself unfortunately. Give me some time on that one to learn more about it through testing.
Did it take hours to load all of those in?
Sometimes it can, it depends on how many roms you have.
@@technic1109 it did take hours for me, worth it tho
I can’t downloaded shark food
If this happens, please verify that you have enough storage, the internal 1gb storage of a ps vita 2000 isn't enough, or try to restart your ps vita and try again. If sharkfood wasn't installed and vitadb downloader still works, then proceed to use vitadb as normal.
