New PSVita Homebrew, PKGi
A new PSVita homebrew, PKGi, has been published on GitHub by mmozeiko. The code is open source and installs the .pkg files directly from the console with your NoNpDRM fake license files.
The program requires you to create your own NoNpDRM keys, but all that would be needed to make this a tool for Pirates is a website that hosts keys and a modified version (remember, open source) to copy the remote db. file. This is also how Freeshop for the 3DS works.
Currently DLC/Updates are not supported, but installed Titles can be directly updated from the LiveArea.
Installation:
There are installation instructions on the Tool’s GitHub page [link removed]
It is a bit confusing to install if you’re not very advanced, but the instructions are well explained.
Usage:
Using the app is pretty easy, X to install the selected title triangle to sort, filter and search. This will open up a context menu. Press triangle again to confirm the changes, or O to cancel any changes.
Screenshots:
As you can see, the first screenshot is of the clean looking interface and context menu, and the second is the download screen. As I said, the interface is very clean and nice looking.
That’s pretty much everything we know so far, but you can check [links removed] for more info.
See you in the next post!
Update from wololo: it has come to our attention that there is no practical use for this tool except for “backups”. I overlooked that when initially publishing the article. Due to our stance on the subject of piracy when it comes to the PS Vita, I have redacted the links from the article. Thanks for your understanding.
First!
your => you are.
Yeah It the first thing I notice while scrolling down the article lol
=/=
You’re parents must be proud. Deliberate typo just to trigger you. 😛
Search for “NoPaystation” for the online db of licenses
“There are installation instructions on the GitHub page
It is a bit confusing to install if YOUR not very advanced, but the instructions are well explained.”
Seriosly? Your?
It’s you’re!
Seriously……..
Thanks, fixed the typo
Ah the Nazi Grammar police is here, Give it a rest, just enjoy the article instead of nitpicking the tiny details. But I guess you are just wanting attention thinking “you’re” (lol) special for noticing it so…..*pats your back, well done*
Yea, sorry about that.
This looked pretty exciting when the first version dropped, but I think I’ll wait a week or two until it gets the unavoidable updates and bugfixes that early releases like this always get.
Been using it a lot tho for a small while now and it works perfectly.
Hopefully they can find a way to make NoNpDRM able to be compatible with SD2Vita so Users wont lose it.
What? NoNpDrm is already compatible with sd2vita. There’s is nothing special you need to do to make both of them work together.
it is compatible ? :/
Yes; i instaled today 3 NoNpdrm games into a 64gb sd with absolute no problem. And at the same time mantains the compatibility with mai files and vpk’s.
How you do that?? I cant get it to work and cant get plug-ins to work with sd2vita. My config file must be missing something. Please help! lol
You are probably using the config.txt in ux0 when you should delete that and put everything in the config.txt in ur0
That’s the key. You have to config all the plugins in ur0. Adrenaline it’s working well too.

What kind of hypocrisy is this? pkgi practical use is same as for NoNpDrm. And links to NoNpDrm are allowed here apparently. pkgi simply provides nice UI that installs Vita titles with NoNpDrm fake license. Its just easier to use rather than copying files around from/to PC. Its just does one extra thing – downloads title directly from Sony server. Without it you still need to keep your game files backed up. But these files are same for everybody – they are not user account specific. pkgi doesn’t do anything extra than pkg xTractor + NoNpDrm together in one UI. And for both of these tools there are links on this site.
i tried to figure this out, and i couldn’t. i’m not “advanced” in such things, but i can read english, so i thought i could figure out… nope 🙁 maybe my reason for wanting this is wrong? can someone tell me if using PKGi and PSDLE on my 3.60 Ensō will allow me to download psn titles i’ve bought but can’t d/l anymore because of the E-80558325 error?
that’s all i *** want to do is d/l my own *** while on 3.60 Ensō!
i don’t get it… you approve inane posts like “first” but when i have a legit question, you won’t post it?!
Some comments are automatically approved and some get caught in the filter. Not all are manually approved.
I wish that system could be improved though, I’ve posted many comments that ended up taking so long to approve that noone seems to see them by the time they’re approved because most people moved on to other news articles.
*** Vita… I want PS4 Jailbreak.
Does this require Henkaku?
definitely

what are the steps to compile this for vita or should i port psp specific makefile and parts headers and sources to vita ?
thanks in advance
can PKGi be used with PSLDE? i just want to download games i paid for from PSN. no one can seem to fix the d/l error problem with 3.60 and i don’t want to give up Ensō use.
Oh whoops, sorry everyone about the links thing, I didn’t realise when writing the article.
“Due to our stance on the subject of piracy when it comes to the PS Vita, I have redacted the links from the article.”
if you were true to your word, you’d take down the entire article as well. but i guess clicks are more important than principles.
Just because the article talks about tools that can be used for piracy, it doesn’t mean the whole article has to be taken down, it will just trigger people who hate piracy.
the nopaystation link is missing some of the titles in that screenshot
where can i get the pkgi.txt you used?
