@@Patatigatti123 Hello. I had a PC modded Vita, and due to some stuff my brother did I had to rejailbreak it from scratch using the methods in the video 1st question : No, I haven't had any limitation compared to how my Vita were the first time I hacked it 2nd question : Yes, there's an app called PKGj that Retro Game Corps shows in this video around the end that acts like an alternative shop from which you can dowload PS Vita, PS One and PSP games. However you don't have all games that ever existed on those so having a PC is still recommanded for some titles.
I went through so much trouble setting up my vita and the sd card mode. I am happy to see the process is a lot more simple and streamlined now. Not having to use a pc is huge.
yes. jailbreaking vita and setting up sd2vita ~4/5 years ago was RIDICULOUS. Tore my hair out for hours and still didn't know half of what was happening.
@@akyura00 I mainly bought this console for collection purposes (and I've always wanted this one when I was a kid). Modding was a secondary icing on the cake.
One important step that isn't articulated in the video, but took me a few tries to figure out: At 6:41, after selecting all and then unselecting SceloTrash, you have to use arrow up or down to navigate OFF of SceloTrash onto one of the highlighted/selected folders before using the copy function. Otherwise, it will copy SceloTrash instead of the 15 selected folders. If you see "1x Copied" when you're on this step, this is why.
@@ncnuggets You don't select scelotrash. You have to unselect it as you don't want to copy it. The destination folder already contains scelotrash. But you have to move the cursor/highlighted line off scelotrash before copying.

I grew up in foster care, without love or affection… now as an adult i seldomly ever use this term… but…. Plain and simple bro, i LOVE YOU! I never had a chance to play any of these games as a kid and now i can 😁
My Vita arrives in one week!! I'm so excited. I already got two chargers (it's the 1000 model), an 8 gig Sony card, the SD2Vita adapter and a 128 gb mini SD card, and a couple games. I should be all set.
for anyone that is having issues not being able to see the memory when plugged in via usb, once you are inside the file manager press the start button on the vita and it will show a menu, scroll until you see usb device and changed that to sd2vita and it will work once plugged in to a pc you will see the full memory, the video is awesome but just in case someone needs this. thank you
@Retrogamecorp Had a Vita sitting on the drawer for ages, doing nothing. Watched your video and it has a whole new lease of life. So much easier than having to use a pc. Reminds me if that ios jailbreak that was just a webpage that read "slide to jailbreak" 👍👍
This process is so easy, I was able to casually do it throughout a Saturday (with stops and starts). Been enjoying a trip down memory lane with Retroarch.
thank you for the written and video guide, with your help i have finally jail-broken my PSVita, that i paid for, and physically own, it is mine, and now it is more so ever clearly mine.🤗
Dude, just wanna say I subscribed out of gratitude for helping me mod my Anbernic RG35XX and now my Vita! Your guides are so easy to follow! You're doing God's work my man!
Thanks again Russ. Some 6 months ago I bought an Odin 2 thanks to you and SBCGaming. Decided to get my old handhelds running again, the official written guide is a bit iffy on clarity and it led me back to you to my surprise. You rock dude.
I definitely recommend that users with a 1000 model vita look into a PSVSD instead of a SD2Vita like you showed. They're definitely a bit harder to use and find, but having sd card storage AND keeping your vita game slot is the best of both worlds. Since they've been out of production for quite some time, I had several made using the open source blueprints via PCBway and they work great! I think it's really the best solution for users who actually have physical vita games that they still want to use and don't want to sacrifice any functionality with homebrew.
I was highly intrigued by this video. And decided to buy a PS Vita and take that leap of faith. BEST DECISION EVER! Thank you for the video! I'm loving my new PS Vita. The catalogue of games is beyond extensive.
The Vita is probably my absolute favorite form factor for a handheld device of all time, and I'm always upset when new handhelds *aren't* just a new Vita (I'm looking at you, steamdeck). This is going to breathe new life into my old Vita, thank you!
At least now ive practiced the difficult Tech james style and the easy your style. Tech james is also good ,just that hacking psvita and doing all these setups back then in 2020 wasnt easy. Lots of things to do. But now its easier. Thumbs up to you both
Wish I still had my Vita tbh. TearAway was such an amazing game. It's not a hard game by any means. But, if you liked LBP and the creativity of the levels. You'd probably have enjoyed this game. Also- The narration was vibrant and really drew you into the world's quarrels to be solved. And for those of you with a curious mind. There's hidden rewards to find on almost every level.
Great guide! A couple of questions: is it absolutely necessary to sign into a psn account? Is it risky to use a primary account or should a new account be generated for this purpose?
I've had a hacked Vita for years now and nobody's account has been banned for using a hacked Vita. There's no danger using your main account. Still go on PSN, use the store, and gain trophies. The only way I think to get banned is to do blatant online cheating.
Thank you Ross for the great tutorial. Worked flawlessly and quickly. Since I got my first Vita just a few weeks ago I am amazing by the quality of the screen and the general quality for a 2011 handheld. Sony should have had more success with it. After changing the prioritized harddrive to the microSD I filled it up with games. My question: Can I now switch again to the PS Vita memory card (uxO etc) back so that I can also fill up the Vita memory card? Thank you and thanks to the community in general. Best wishes Michael
Thanks very much for this guide, Russ. I saw it yesterday and thought I'd dig my Vita out since I haven't used it in a while (turns out almost 7 years!) ordered a SD2Vita, which arrived today. I was worried I might brick the thing, but your guide was so clear and the process was so easy it went off without a hitch. Spent the last couple of hours revisiting some PSP favourites :D
Thanks! Pulled out an old PSTV I had for my son and something had gotten mess up over time. With no Windows computer around currently I thought I was out of luck. This was pretty easy.
Duuuuuude, when I hacked my Vita years ago it was so much more involved! I still have my PSTV hacked and I've got it going again, but I'd forgotten my Vita 1101 passcode so I had to restore it so this is just perfect for me! About to jump into it!
I have tried a few of the new retro handhelds but I always come back to my Vita. Perfect size, perfect screen. Powerful enough. I still play more games on my Vita than on my Switch, Stemdeck and other handhelds combined.
This was way easier than I thought. I have 2 (and a half?) Vitas that I haven't done the full hack on because I didn't want to go through a lot of steps, but now that the 2000 is hacked, I may as well hack the 1000 (which has one of the old, OLD hacks) and PSTV, too. Thanks for the video!
This is actually perfect. Setting up a vita for my sister to give to her as a present (she loves retro games) Can't wait to receive my sd2vita adapter from the post
I fukkin love u man , i had your old video bookmarked never got the chance to it and watched it again today and saw there was this new method im halfway in to it, glad i waited, i just need the microsd adapter
A few years ago I took a day to completely mod my Vita 2000. It was torture to get the sd2vita to work. I spent all that time and retro arch the app I really wanted to use was broken and would not let me use the vita shoulder buttons. It’s amazing what this community has come up with. I’m gonna give it another try with this guide. Thanks
Updated video retelling an old way of jailbreaking ps vita. Nice 👍 (Sarcasm). Overall the video is nicely explained and thorough and, I actually have a thumbs up for the above stated.
Thanks for the help, I'm intimidated by jailbreaking cause I don't want to ruin my vita, but thos video helped me, still learning what's what, trying to get games and emulators and still a little confused lol

Just turned on my PS vita after years. Jailbreak is done and apps are downloading. Good video, helpful
Can Sony ban my Playstation account for that?
nah
My vitadeploy disappeared?
Do you know how to fix it?
Thanks very much for this guide, Russ. I saw it yesterday and thought I'd dig my Vita out since I haven't used it in a while (turns out almost 7 years!) ordered a SD2Vita, which arrived today. I was worried I might brick the thing, but your guide was so clear and the process was so easy it went off without a hitch. Spent the last couple of hours revisiting some PSP favourites :D
just bought a vita this year and got a sd card and adapter on sale and immediately went here. Very happy
Takes 15 minutes to do now, no PC required! Thank you Jesus! :) great video!
You’re the best none of your tutorials have disappointed
Thanks to you! My Vita has finally revived. 😊
best tutorial ever, for psvita moding
thanks man
MAN I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!
I was going crazy with other tutorials until I found this video, thank you so much!!
Subscribed. You absolute LEGEND
OMG!! This video saved me sooooo much time and headache! Thanks so much Russ!
Thanks! Pulled out an old PSTV I had for my son and something had gotten mess up over time. With no Windows computer around currently I thought I was out of luck. This was pretty easy.
thank you so much for this! my Vita just came back to life 😆❤
Dude you made it so easy for me. Thank younso much !!!
Thank you Russ. This alleviated my depression tonight :)
Duuuuuude, when I hacked my Vita years ago it was so much more involved! I still have my PSTV hacked and I've got it going again, but I'd forgotten my Vita 1101 passcode so I had to restore it so this is just perfect for me! About to jump into it!
I have tried a few of the new retro handhelds but I always come back to my Vita. Perfect size, perfect screen. Powerful enough. I still play more games on my Vita than on my Switch, Stemdeck and other handhelds combined.
7:05 oh no! After the set up SD2Vita part when I rebooted Vita Deploy is no longer listed in my apps. Please help! 😩
same thing with me someone please help us out !!!??
This was way easier than I thought. I have 2 (and a half?) Vitas that I haven't done the full hack on because I didn't want to go through a lot of steps, but now that the 2000 is hacked, I may as well hack the 1000 (which has one of the old, OLD hacks) and PSTV, too. Thanks for the video!
This is actually perfect. Setting up a vita for my sister to give to her as a present (she loves retro games)
Can't wait to receive my sd2vita adapter from the post
First of all thank you for the guide! Second of all MAN THIS PROCESS IS SO EASY! It beats the HELL out of the old way of modding it via PC! So sick!
I fukkin love u man , i had your old video bookmarked never got the chance to it and watched it again today and saw there was this new method im halfway in to it, glad i waited, i just need the microsd adapter
Update: my psvita adapter came in and i finished the steps
This video changed my life thank you
Thank you for the tutorial. Everything went well after following all the instructions.
Thank you so much for this. Gonna be playing Ace Combat 3 JP Fan Translation tonight thanks to you!
A few years ago I took a day to completely mod my Vita 2000. It was torture to get the sd2vita to work. I spent all that time and retro arch the app I really wanted to use was broken and would not let me use the vita shoulder buttons. It’s amazing what this community has come up with. I’m gonna give it another try with this guide. Thanks
Would definitely recommend👍 I try to mod b4 but didn't work now it so awesome, thank you so much
Mannnn I can’t thank you enough I finally did it!!! Thankssss
Updated video retelling an old way of jailbreaking ps vita. Nice 👍 (Sarcasm).
Overall the video is nicely explained and thorough and, I actually have a thumbs up for the above stated.
Thank you so much!! I always wanted to homebrew my ps vita. ❤
Thank you so much, i successfully moded my first ps Vita thanks to you 👍
Thank you so much, nice and easy. Perfect video! Enjoying the Vita so much more now
Thanks for the help, I'm intimidated by jailbreaking cause I don't want to ruin my vita, but thos video helped me, still learning what's what, trying to get games and emulators and still a little confused lol
fantastic job on this!
