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.

    If I already have adrenaline installed, can I delete it and install this just for the extra space?

    • Aurora

      If you mean that you have a PSP demo installed and Adrenaline is activated on it, then yes. You can delete that bubble and save some space with this homebrew. I’d suggest you back up your demo via QCMA in case something goes wrong.

    Does this replace the epsp bubble installer v1?

    Also, can I use this to reinstall adrenaline but NOT with the easy installer, just the old way? Im afraid it might delete my card.

    • Aurora

      What do you mean by reinstalling Adrenaline? Removing the actual system files, the Adrenaline plugin OR the ePSP bubble that launches Adrenaline?

    • im gonna anwser both of those at once.
      1’s yes it will replace the epsp bubble installer v1. they have the same titleid so it will just install over the other one

      also yes you can reinstall adrenaline, the old way or new doesnt matter. just uh keep in mind MINI’s have ram restrictions witch isnt a problem when you put a pboot.pbp file into it but the old way of installing adrenaline doesnt tell you to do that. so yea you might get ram restrictions. but adrenaline had a patch to make it work with mini’s so possibly not.

  12. Leonardo

    Don’t work, I installed ePSP and open it, “Your PSVita is not activated on PSN… but let’s do it: Your PSVita will reboot. On reboot, open this app again. Press X to continue.”
    Well, I press X and error C2-12828-1 :/

  13. sandy marte

    i get kicked out after it the minis logo back to the live area screen, do i need to add 660.pbp file on uxo/pspemu/? or something?

    • vliko

      I advice you to install from your memory card rather than your internal memory. Also switch off wifi as much as you can, when not needed. Use FTTP on molecule to transfer the files, then install using vitashell. I just tried things like this until it worked

      • sandy marte

        hey, thanks for the help, but still it kicks me out. and i did install the vpk thru vitashell. does it matter wheather if it on safe mode or not?

  14. vliko

    Should I use ARK or adrenaline for best PSP backup performance?
    I used to use the PSP thing back in the day (the load game to load cfw stuff) but I don’t even remember which one was

  15. Regnant

    Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavo to all you guys, Finally that day has come. could you create alternative bubble installer so that we could install both ARK and Adrenaline. Anyway let me say a big thanks to all your achievement so far. You Heroes, You are the Incredible s!!!!!!!!!! Me bow before you ‘CelesteBlue’

  16. rsn8887

    Anybody got this to work on Vita TV? I always get a message saying it will Reboot and then I should start the app again. After the reboot I start henkaku, start it and just wants to reboot again.

    • Kelpy72

      Hi rsn8887. Just activated on Vita TV successfully. As Ph posted “Have to activate in game option, not activate playstation option.”. Wasn’t sure what this meant, but somewhere in the settings menu after running ePSP and rebooting (i think, cause I cant find it now!) found an option to “activate game” option. Now that I have done that cant find it again so hope am correct! but if you can find it, activate it, run ePSP bubble again, new different message will appear to reboot Vita TV, upon rebooting the ePSP bubble will automatically install its goodies. Then activate henkaku to install adrenaline etc

    Well…I Used To Kneel Before ZOD…..But Now Its Kneel Before ‘Celeste Blue’ !!!!!…….

    HAVE YOU ACTIVATED SUCCESSFULLY? WHAT STAGE ARE YOU BEING KICKED OUT? DO YOU HAVE ADRENALINE ALREADY INSTALLED WITH 661.PBP? CAN YOU INSTALL THE 2.0 BURBLE? IF YOU HAVE DONE ALL THESE STEPS THEN IT SHOULD WORK

  21. Xtremegamer

    Would this work on a psvita running FW 1.80 ?

    Could this app be re-coded to work on 1.80 ?

  22. lmc01

    This is amazing news, only recently bought a PS Vita and the scene seems to be moving so fast at the moment! Thanks

  23. Dalton_Corazon

    For those who wants the same base game given by ebubble and use it to run ARK or andreline. It is possible to clone by using only your PSvita Vitashell.

    Installing a ARK with same base game given by ebubble with Andreline is already installed.

    1.) Just copy the game folder NP*******04 to a safe folder like example ux0:/data
    2.) Rename the folder NP*****04 to NP*****05
    3.) Delete the PBOOT.PBP on NP****04
    4.) Copy-Paste Ark’s own PBOOT.PBP
    5.) Put the ARK_01**** folder to the pspemu/PSP/SAVEDATA/****
    lastly…
    Reboot data building time.. (Ofcourse do not forget to install taihenkaku) this method still needs a taihenkaku.

    Hello, I have a problem, I follow the steps and I put my PSN account, I go back to the application and I sell this:

    Dlg Settings: psn

    I do not know what to do

  25. Atif Hussain

    need help….can’t install VPK file it get stucks at 0% while installing

    • NanospeedGamer

      Instalalo desde MolecularShell

      • Plasma

        I had the exact same issue, and I am installing it from molecularShell, but it turns out it was because I installed a new 64Gb memory card yesterday and since then I couldn’t install any vpks.
        So, you have to install henkaku as usual, but then you have to install VitaShell 1.51 and installs it through molecularShell… this vpk actually installs fine. And then, install your vpks, including ePSPBubble 2 via VitaShell. It worked for me.

    • Nelson

      Install Vita shell 1.51
      It worked for me and I was having the same problem

  29. Regnant

    I HAVE BOTH ADRENALINE AND ARK NOW WORKING ON MY VITA. I CAN SWITCH TO USE ANY OF THEM WITHOUT HAVING ANY FILES OR WHAT EVER, I ONLY NEED TO CLOSE ONE APPLICATION AND THEN OPEN THE OTHER. BRAVO GUYS

  30. Regnant

    ADRENALINE, ARK AND VBHL ALL WORKING ON MY VITA WITH 3 DIFFERENT PSP DEMO, A LONG AWAITED DREAM COMES TRUE, VITA ACTIVATED!! GET LOST SONY

  31. origamisan

    so I get everything working, except the boot into the PSP XMB, I just get stuck on a black screen. The Adrenaline Menu can still be accessed, and if I hold R I can access the Recovery Tools, but I can’t seem to access the actual PSP emulation :C Please help – if it helps I used to use TN-V back in the day.

    • Goombah

      Goto your uxo:pspemu/adrenaline folder there should be 3 files 661.pbp and the two Adrenaline files… It seems you have to reinstall the psp portion again so if you have two folders inside the adrenaline folder it’s ok to delete them. Also btw.. You must have the adrenaline fix 2 files in that folder. Now next time you start the adrenaline bubble it will tell you to reinstall psp files. Thats it! no more black screen. Hope this helps.

    NOT working for me, heres what happen:

    1. My Vita doesn’t have an account yet
    2. I created an account but I couldn’t verify because there was an error when I click on the email
    3. Account was registed, followed the instructions but still asking to update
    4. I restore my vita, rebuild database and even format mc (I only have 2 games, nfs and sfxtk)
    5. After installing molecule, vitashell, and epsp v2.0, I hit X since its not activated yet.
    6. It goes to the settings and change the dsn and still asking for an update
    7. I tried rebooting vita, re hen, then re run epsp, go to settings but still asking for update

    YOU CAN’T LOGIN FROM YOUR VITA AND CAN’T ACTIVATE? TAKE COURAGE BUT HURRY TO FORMAT YOUR DEVICE AND RESTORE IT THEN INPUT YOUR EMAIL AND PASSWORD AS THE RESTORE GOES ON TO FINISH, THEN INSTALL HENKAKU AND ALL THE LIKE. I FORMATED MY CARD TODAY MORE TRICE TO GET EVERYTHING WORKING THOUGH IT IS NOT NECESSARY BUT NOW I HAVE ADRENALINE, ARK AND VHBL ALL WORKING ON 3 THREE DIFFERENT PSP GAMES BASE ON THE EPSP 2.0 BURBLE ACTIVATION JUST RELEASED TODAY

  36. Arvs

    Every time I open ePSP Bubble…it says: ”Your PSVita is not activated on PSN… but let’s do it: Your PSVita will reboot. On reboot, open this app again. Press X to continue”.

    But when it reboots, it gives me ERROR C1-6775-5… So I have to reinstall Henkaku, but when I hope again the ePSP bubble, it gives me again the same message as before… How I can exit from this loop?

  37. Dothack143

    after a factory reset
    i installed this, and hit the patch, the square
    then it keeps telling me: you must update the system software
    how do i get this to work, before i hit the square all the activation stuff is greyed out

  38. Nelson

    Not working for me. It’s always stuck on 0% and after I’ve got to reboot my Vita and I’m using Molecular Shell.
    I would appreciate some help

    Got it working.

    try this, make sure you install the stable henkaku, then enable unsafe homebrew to on, download vitashell manually and ftttp transfer it to a directory in the ux0 and install it from molecule, when done, fttp all vpks you would need, through molecule but install them through vitashell , make sure unsafe mode is on

  40. thanks

    Thank you so much for this.
    I activated my ps vita again with my old account and i could retreive all my content from my old 16 gb card now.
    Thanks for this awesome tool.
