NoNpDrm VS 0syscall6

Regarding your first conclusion: Using the Ref00d plug-in should allow you to run any game regardless of your firmware version. Also having NoNpDrm is a must. Ensure you have properly modded your Vita according to this guide, and all that should be setup.

I'm trying to get some nonpdrm games working with vita3k. The guide tells me to: "Download the latest nonpdrm.skprx, copy it to ux0:tai and modify the ux0:tai/config.txtfile to add the path to the module under *KERNEL as follows" But I can't find any tai file in ux0. I have looked around a bunch and found nothing. please help.

If you aren't an experienced user, better install the plugin manually from here. Instructions are there.

Hello there, have you tried the NoNPDRM plugin ? https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/NoNpDrm

So you either redownload your DLC via PSN or backup your DLC using the documentation on NoNPDRM

Game files are in ux0:app/TITLEID. Obtain the decrypted files from there by opening the game's folder decrypted via Vitashell with NoNpDrm (select folder > press triangle > open decrypted) and mod them however you want. Then put the decrypted files in ux0:rePatch/TITLEID/moddedfiles. For this you need rePatch.

And for card game only or you want manually share your backup and upload it somewhere here is the guide: https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/NoNpDrm

Sharkfood! No, its used for something else entirely. You'll need these plugins. NoNpDrm to by-pass drm checks and 0syscall6 (either / or: reFOOD) to by-pass firmware checks.

Don’t update. Go with https://github.com/SKGleba/0syscall6, and change spoof version in Settings > Henkaku Settings to 3.74

Instead of using this and later coming to this sub again asking for help after it breaks your Vita by you installing some unfortunate combination of plugins, learn how to install the plugins you need manually. For that, you just place the .skprx or .suprx file of the plugin you want into ur0:tai, and then make according changes to the config.txt file. For details, check out the description for each plugin in its GitHub page (for example, here under Usage for the 0syscall6 plugin).

Spoof does nothing about game FW requirements. 0syscall6 or reF00D do.

0syscall6 lv0 secure_kernel syscall6 patch - can replace reF00d (SKGleba)

There's no reason to but if you really want to install vita deploy and do it through that. But you might as well install a plugin so you can play games that require a higher firmware on a lower one. https://github.com/SKGleba/0syscall6
