PSVita: Qwikrazor87 just released ARK! Again!

Like promised here is ARK, the original one, updated for the latest firmware!

In the provided download pack, you will find different versions for different firmware. This release is not meant for a savegame but for Mr.Gas’ and Major_Tom’s re-birth bubbles. To make this work, you will have to actually work for it this time! 😀

You must have a base game installed from PSN, and it should not be a crappy minis, and full PSP games with previous exploits may not work, but I haven’t tested much. In my tests, Pool Hall Pro and Numblast didn’t work.

Just follow our tutorial on how to sign homebrews here http://hackinformer.com/PlayStationGuide with the provided ‘NP.ISO’ if you are on 3.50 to 3.52

We know it’s quite hard to set up and it needs some time to figure everything out but its worth it!ARK

 

Notes:

I have provided three separate saves, which have different patches/kexploit depending on the firmware.
For 3.3X, it is possible to create folders in ms0:/PSP/GAME/, but it has been patched in 3.5X.
Folder names should be self-explanatory for which one you require.

In the “menu” folder, you can choose the menu of your choice, current menu in ARK save is ONEMenu,
drag and drop the files into the ARK_01234 save so that VBOOT.PBP is at root of ARK_01234/.

To exit homebrew/ISO, hold button combo L + R + Start + Down.

To enable plugins:
Make a file called PLUGINS.TXT inside ARK_01234/.
Here are some examples for the format to use.
game,ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat.prx,1
game,ms0:/seplugins/tempar.prx,true
umdemu,ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat.prx,on
pops,ms0:/seplugins/cwcheatpops.prx,enabled

As you can see, the format is mode,path,switch

mode:
“game” should be used for homebrew.
“umdemu” should be used for ISO/CSO/PSN.
“pops” should be used for PS1 games.

path points to plugin.

To enable, you can use “1”, “true”, “on” or “enabled”.

UPDATE:

Fixe’s homebrew crashes for ARK

“For those of you that already have it installed, just transfer the ARK_01234 save for your firmware or those of you that already have it installed, just transfer the ARK_01234 save to the psvita.”

Note by Hackinformer:

Once you make an Ark bubble and any other bubble you want. You can still update to 3.55 and these bubbles will still work, but you will not be able to use the email trick again. So that means you can NEVER make any more bubbles or put custom themes on your PSVita or PSTV. I don’t recommend going this, but the choice is yours and if you do this make SURE you make a whole back image of your vita just encase something happens. Once again I do not recommend you leaving FW3.52.
