NoNpDrm VS rePatch-reDux0

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.

Why turn 7z to zip. it's already a zip. Install repatch. Unpack the folders from the zip, copy them to ux0. Open vitashell, press triangle, update Live Area. Play.

[OPTIONAL] The rePatch plugin installed on your Vita (https://github.com/dots-tb/rePatch-reDux0/releases/latest) Only required if you don't want to replace any official game files.

RePatch: https://github.com/dots-tb/rePatch-reDux0

rePatch Serves as a replacement for ux0:patch; can be used to load decrypted content on 3.60+; required for use of "compatibility packs" (dots-tb)

ux0:/addcont and remove folder PCSE00065, Download https://www.mediafire.com/file/267pp53er16t289/pinballarcade.zip/file and unzip it to ux0 (remember that you have to have the newest repatch installed https://github.com/dots-tb/rePatch-reDux0/releases).

Yes, easiest way is utilizing rePatch. Here's a short overview of how to do it: https://github.com/TheRadziu/NoNpDRM-modding/wiki

You install the repatch plugin). Then you can drag these folders to your ux0, and play the game as normal.

This may be a rare case, try out the repatch redux version 2.71. Someone has problem with 3.0 and find 2.71 work better for them.

Dunno what it can be then. As a test i installed the latest repatch on my Vita wich never had repatch before. Copied over the contents of the zip and refreshed live area in Vitashell. It just works. Keep in mind there shouldn't be a pre-existing p4 golden game installed.
