PS Vita: pkgj updated to version 0.26
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. The last few updates have brought significant bug fixes.
The unofficial fork has brought features that were not available on the original pkgi, including DLC support and PSX support. In addition to bug fixes, over the past 10 days, the developer has added the following features:
- ux0:patch is created on first update installation if it doesn’t exist yet
- Download resume feature was restored (except when downloading PSP games as ISO files)
- Made a couple errors more explicit
- Allowed sorting by last modification date
- Games that are not supported on the current firmware are now hidden
- When the list fails to download, there is no more need to exit pkgj
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 0.26
You can download pkgj from the developer’s github here. You’ll need a hacked PS Vita to run the tool, as always. To our knowledge, pkgj is compatible with consoles running the latest firmwares with h-encore.

Nice Job!!
Great..another update
Great….another update
So much for not supporting piracy
You can still use this legally if you rip the ROM from your own carts.
If you rip your carts with NoNpDrm (which this app requires) you don’t need this app period. I don’t see a way to use this legally, unless you never setup a config file.
You’re right….it’s for piracy (and we like it that way) so move on…
The app that’s designed to download games from Sony’s servers in conjunction with NoNpDRM so you can play everything for free has no purpose in existing if you’re ripping your own carts.
We all know “homebrew” is just a front for “piracy” nowadays.
I just wish people were just honest about their behavior rather than trying to justify it in some roundabout way.
Nobody is using homebrew as a front for piracy. There are several homebrew apps and games I use constantly, and I garuntee you do too.
*Cough* VitaShell
This plugin is ace
You probably meant 0.27.
Now 0.27 😉 fast dev
Good news! Probably one of the most useful homebrews yet.
Of course you use this app legally, by downloading games you’ve already bought. Can’t do that with a hacked vita.
Downloading a game you own is still illegal. It doesn’t matter if you own a physical or digital copy. If you’re downloading the game from this app you are stealing the package url from Sony, and you’re using a shared license key. Pirate if you want, no judgement but don’t try and justify “legal” usage of a piracy app.
No I don’t steal. In order for the game to work you will have to also install nodrm plugin. That is stealing. With this app, games downloaded will work if you bought it once. This app is just golden for hacked vita.
Can i move the h-encore app to internal memory of ps vita fat ? FW 3.68, i am using the sd2vita, but when i shut down i must open the h-encore in the sony SD to hack again, only then my sd2vita takes its place, if i could move the app encore to ur0 i would not need the sony card anymore. But i dont know how or if its possible.
