PS Vita release: pkgi unofficial fork “pkgj” brings PSX games support to the tool
Developer Blastrock has released an update to pkgj, his fork of popular PS Vita tool pkgi. This homebrew lets you download and install original pkg files on the PS Vita. Pkgj’s latest update brings support to download and install PSX games.
The unofficial fork has brought features that were not available on the original pkgi, including DLC support, and now PSX support.
What is PKGJ?
(From the readme)
pkgj allows to install original pkg files on your Vita.
This homebrew allows to download & unpack pkg file directly on Vita together with your NoNpDrm fake license.
Features
- easy way to see list of available downloads, including searching, filter & sorting.
- standalone, no PC required, everything happens directly on Vita.
- automatic download and unpack, just choose an item, and it will be installed, including bubble in live area.
- resumes interrupted download, you can stop download at any time, switch applications, and come back to download from place it stopped.
Differences with PKGi:
- queues multiple downloads.
- supports the TSV file format.
- installs game updates, DLCs and PSX games.
Current limitations:
- no support for PSM.
- no background downloads – if application is closed or Vita is put in sleep then download will stop.
Download pkgj 0.9
You can download pkgj from the developer’s github here. You’ll need a hacked PS Vita to run the tool, as always.

Great stuff
Do you have updated pkgi.txt
finally an update!!!
Great Tool, it looks a bit minimalist but gets the job done.
it would be awesome if he would implement :
a description box for games.
Game icon support
Estimate download time
Remaining download time
notification when when finished download finished
theme support
advanced filtering option // game genre, Publisher,size, (score ?)
I know that this is a very early Version and you could easily say ” then implement yourself” but please don´t be that guy
nothing i said has the intention to insult the dev, that are just my 2 cents on PKGJ
developer say “i can make little improves to the gui, but big ones will take some time and i dont think that they are necesary” sorry for my poor english… anyway what i inderstand is “the tool is doing the job as is it, so i just gonna improve the things that we got working”.
Fourst! Great tool!
you guys should know you need adrenaline installed for the psx games, they don’t show up as a bubble like psvita games
you may find this pc tool useful to go with it:

Thx man. This is an amazing tool. Good Job. Also thanks for mentioning that you need adrenaline. I thought as much but nice to know i was on the right track.
Thx again RazorX
Back when PKGi originally released you guys also made an article that included the download link. After a while the link was taken down after you discovered it’ sole purpose was to pirate games.
This leads me to wonder why you decided to share the download link of a fork of PKGi. The purpose of PKGj is the exact same thing: pirating.
I think you’ll understand it’s at least a bit ironic.
I think its ok since they dont post the Url you need to get the List in PKGJ. ^^
Might be possible but it still wouldn’t explain why they chose to remove PKGi’s download link and still share PKGj’s download link.
PKGi has the same requirement in order to get the list of downloads.
true that. Im at a loss.
lets just call it dumbassery and be done with it.
Wait, is this for pirating PKGs of PSX games, or turning a CD/ISO into a PKG?
it’s for downloads psvita games, updates and dlc as well as psx games you can run in adrenaline
I have “failed to download the list” problem. config is proggramed to NPS url
if you check out my url i posted above it has the config.txt info you need on the OP and then you won’t get failed to download the list
Too bad you need to be registered to even look at it.
it took me 2 min to do so. so whats your point?
must be too much for him 😀
It is not compatible with the Custom Firmware 3.65 HENkaku Ensō? I got an error trying to install it
yes it is, that’s what most of us is using so you must have done something wrong
