ARK for 3.60 released – Also works on 3.61/3

Aurora

I'm a girl that's liked technology from day 1. Mostly interested in the PSVita/PSP scene but I've always modded my stuff when it's possible, that is :) Contact me via DM at @KawaiiAuroraA on Twitter if you have any questions/concerns about my articles or if you have any article requests.

    Well, if it is easier to install, then there is a major advantage there!

  2. Dark Pulse says:

    Seeing as there’s “Adrenaline Easy Installer” they’re both pretty easy to install.

      can you tell me how to install. I just bought vita with 3.63 and dont know how to install. Thanks

      • Totalberserk says:

        fairly certain this only works on 3.61/3 if you installed it previously on 3.60 wnd updated, or if you somehow get a memory card with it already on it.

  8. Aurora says:

    UPDATE: There’s isn’t write access to PSP/GAME via VHBL so you can’t install ARK via VHBL.

    And put the game with the pboot in every folder yet nothing happened
    Need
    Guide
    For
    3.63

    • Noobie says:

      1) Backup PSP game on PC, locate the folder on PC and save it elsewhere
      2) Go to Game folder in PSP menu and insert PBOOT into the game you wish to convert to ARK
      3) Backup PSP game on PC again (this time the game folder is backup with PBOOT)
      4) Restore the backup (the one that comes with PBOOT) from PC to vita

        I have a PSVita on 3.63 (that has not been previously modified in any manner whether TN-V or VHBL). will ARK 3.60 still work? If so, where do I put the Eboot.PBP file?? (I have previously use the 3.52 TN-V on a different Vita so I have some few ideas how to transfer though). Care to help out?

        • hans says:

          No you can only run this hack on 3.63
          Installing is not possible because you have acess to the file system
          Theoretical you could use a modified Vita systembackup but I have never done it

    The creator of ARK says to follow (http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=47678) put the Eboot.pbp in PSP game folder “ms0:/PSP/GAME/GAMEID” Where do I find this? I have PSP games legitimately bought from the PSN store, is this relevant (because it was necessary for another psp emulation, TN-V to work)?

    • Noobie says:

      You do need your 3.52 Vita that comes with legitimate games from PSN store.

      1) Choose a legitimate PSP game on your 3.52 Vita, backup on your PC and save the folder separately.
      2) Use the PSP game on your 3.52 Vita and place the PBOOT in the folder of that game.
      3) Backup the game on your PC (backup the game with PBOOT in it)
      *Reason why I ask you to backup the game beforehand and save the folder separately
      4) Now restore the game (the PBOOT backup) from your PC to your 3.63 Vita (u need to do it twice)
      5) Use QMCA to transfer the ARK save file and you are done.

    So I have a PSP game installed (Solid snake something or other), I have the Hataku thing installed and I have vitashell all up to date, However when I try and locate my PSP game….It’s not there, Nothing, I have looked in several places but I can’t even find the EBOOT for solid snake, Any advice on this because I want APK so badly you have no idea xD I have waited so damn long for this day 😛

  17. Corey says:

    I have ARK on my vita which is stuck on 3.18. I can update it and then ARK will still work? I can get to ARK on my exploit game that is already saved.

  18. AssasinSpike says:

    Just tried it, going from 3.60- 3.63 works perfectly. just how do I add the psp games(isos)

  19. Alex Corbo says:

    I love this and I’m already using it on 3.63, but can we expect 3.64 coming soon in order to patch it?

  20. g33kgolf says:

    I just bought PS Vita with 3.63. Can anybody tell me how to install ARK on Vita. I googled for 5 hours but cant find any instructions how to install it. Thank for answers.

    • Noobie says:

      You can’t access the PS Vita system directory at 3.63. The only way is to use a 3.60 Vita (with Henkaku), make a ARK game backup on PC and then transfer it over to the 3.63 system.

  21. Mister Clearwood says:

    Some say that you can restore a 3.60 backup image on a 3.63 vita? I would say it’s impossible unless both vita systems are linked to the same psn account. I know I tried it and qcma just won’t show the backup when it’s time to restore cause each psn account creates a unique id folder on your computer.

  22. Mister Clearwood says:

    I do get the ark bubble on the live homescreen but it won’t launch… I rebuilt database.. HELP!!! It shows as if a mini would be launching and then it just shuts down..

  23. Adam says:

    I this way to install Vitashell 1.51 on Soft 3.63 = hack ?
