Use Vita memory and sd2vita together

Open masoudr opened this issue 7 years ago • 8 comments

Hi, Is there a proper way to use vita memory card and sd2vita simultaneously? I mean using apps in memory card and sd2vita. Thanks.

there are custom gamesd plugins for that. One mounts memory card to uma0 and sd to ux0, the other does it the other way around. check wololo for links to those.

Is this make me use apps in both partitions at the same time or I should reboot each time for accessing apps in these partitions?

You can move apps between partitions with other homebrew app, but IDK if they will work or not (especially nonpdrm). Homebrew apps do work from another partitions, since I checked it myself.

Thanks. If I understand it right you mean that using sd2vita itself with higher capacity is a better option rather than keep it with vita memory. My concern is performance problems with sd2vita, does it have any negative advantage over original vita memory card?

Hi masoudr, there are already pull requests available from August 2017 for this topic. Would also like to see that xyzz incorporates them into his master branch as v2.0.

I use my SD2Vita as uma0 via an "inoffical" build from Modshiah.

@windsurfer1122 Thanks. I already test that but the problem is it can only be used for some data types and you cant load the vita games from that directory. I'm waiting for a possibility to use both partitions for my vita games.

@masoudr Vita games only work from ux0, that's a firmware issue (AFAIK from the many threads I read). uma0 works fine for most HomeBrew software including Adrenaline. I do no see a way how the driver could change the firmware to make Vita games work from uma0.
