Ps Vita Hardware Mods: Transform Your Console into a PSP Go with a Slide-Up Screen



Psvsd is a hardware mod for OLED PS Vita that replaces the vestigial 3G modem with a USB microSD card adapter. When used with a hacked Vita and correct plugin, you can remove the expensive PS Vita memory card and instead use a microSD card internally.


The PSP always was and still is one of the easiest handhelds to make mods too. Typical modifications range from changing the design of the PSP, to replacing the battery with something more substantial. With many years behind its back and a continued fanbase, the list of modifications you can do goes on and on.

All-in-all a neat little hack, showing some good modelling and construction techniques and a good looking end result. Code for your reference may be found on the project GitHub, but as of writing the hardware design is not available.

Traditionally, PS Vita and PSTV exploits have relied on hardware owners connecting their console to a PC and downloading a number of programs. It's tricky business and with so many steps involved, most just wouldn't bother with the hassle. However, a new exploit has been released, and it doesn't require hardware owners to fumble with cables, download any programs, or fiddle with moving files around between their computer and their console. Instead, the exploit is deployed directly from the PS Vita or PSTV browser. Users simply need to input a specific web address into the console's browser and the hack works automatically to install custom software and firmware.


So, what's the benefit of hacking one's PS Vita or PSTV console? Well, for one, there's the opportunity to run custom homebrew software. These range from fan-made ports of old games from yesteryear to simple functional additions, like having a numbered percentage indicator next to the battery life meter. Tinkerers can also deploy custom file management software, replacing the need to use Sony's pretty poor built-in solution. The big attraction, however, is that with PS Vita custom firmware, one can also negate the need for Sony's proprietary memory cards. There's a nifty program called SD2Vita, which allows hardware owners to use regular microSD cards to store their games, save files, movies, and more, rather than the PS Vita's official memory cards. Considering the console is now over ten years old, the official PS Vita memory cards are still ridiculously expensive when compared to the price/performance of a regular SD card. Bear in mind, if this is something you're interested in doing, you'll need an adapter, though these are easy enough to find on Amazon and eBay.


That said, I still don't see a way to use the 360 for homebrew without modding the drive (=Darmokles' Sword of being banned on XBL), adding a modchip (are there even any?) without losing online capabilities. Homebrew is usually the big reason to circumvent DRM on consoles, because there we are with this expensive hardware in our living rooms and we cannot do anything with it.> Online and need for patches have no stopped anyone.It stopped me from trying anything over the past few years and it stopped me from even buying a PS Vita, because I can either run homebrew on it OR have full integration into the Sony service and all the connection features with the PS3/4. This is also the reason, why I will never buy an iPhone,Pad or other mobile store based Apple products.
