Hackinformer Your device needs to transform, we are here to inform
If you are anything like us at Hackinformer you own a wealthy amount of vita games, especially if you’ve been stockpiling them through PS+. With the latest release of vitamin we are finally given the opportunity to dump as many decrypted games and modify them as we see fit . Though the method of transferring even small small size indies such as Hotline Miami can be long and stressful using FTP. Luckily there is a way to utilize your CMA through a vita connection cable and speed the process up 10 fold.
What you need:
- PSP Save Data Folder
- Molecule/Vitashell
- QCMA/OpenCMA/CMA – any will do
PlayStation Vita to PC:
- Locate your dumped game using vitashell/molecule (Usually located in ux0/Vitamin)
Press Triangle to rename the file and change it’s extension to ZIP- Then press triangle again and select move
4. Head over to ux0/pspemu/PSP/SAVEDATA and find your PSP save data (You can check the ICON0.PNG to confirm it’s the save file your using) and paste the dumped game in.
5. Connect QCMA on your computer and transfer over the PSP save data holding your VPK/ZIP file. 
6. Now if you head back to your computer and go to (Where ever you set the path to Applications/Backups to)/Gibberish/PSAVEDATA/(PSP Save Folder) you should see your VPK in the ZIP format. You can simply place that where you want and change the ZIP extension back to VPK.
PC to Vita: This method works vice versa as you can transfer any PSP save to your vita as long as the VPK put into the folder has the extension ZIP.
Another method and one I personally use is change my VPKs to MP4s and transfer it using content manager. The VPK can then be found in ux0/videos using vitashell/molecule.
Reaaaaally wish I knew about this before today, and after updating henkaku without realizing it gave me PSN access, and I was going into molecule and such while signed in….sigh…
As it’s been said many times, no one has ever been banned for using homebrew on their PSP/PS Vita’s so yous hould be fine. On the other hand if you were caught earning trophies from a pirated game….ehhh
Wait a sec, i have bought games that i didn’t have the time to play from the cartridge so i dumped the the other day two of them and i installed them in the mem card .. I played for the first mission and i got a trophy ..
I live in Europe, i have a european account and the game is european … Should i be afraid or not ??
that’s neat, however I have some questions
“especially if you’ve been stockpiling them through PS+”
– Will they still expire if you back them up?
– Can your backups be used on different users?
Like I have EU and US account, can I move a backup from my EU account to my US account?
– it’s only digital games for now right?
because I have a lot retail games I want to backup, so I don’t carry them with me
1.If you dump a PS+ game it will lose it will still be playable after being dumped and lose it’s PS+ Status.
2. The PS Vita is a region-free device so you can use JPN games on a US vita no problem.
3. Both physical and digital games can be dumped without any hassle. Only difference is that the physical game must be in the vita while dumping but that’s a given.
Thank you!
does it support other things like PSP and PS1 too? or is it only Vita games and apps?
Couldn’t you use QCMA, and just Backup the game using the CMA utility on vita?
Dumped games have a habit of breaking when transfering raw through QCMA.
Can’t find MP4 file when trying to transfer from PC.
you doing it wrong
