Where to get PS Vita TV with 3.20 FW that allows homebrew

[Beatnukem]

Hi,

I own a PS Vita running on 3.18 and I love it for all the emulators I can run on it. Now I want to setup something similar for my TV:

Using the PS VitaTV and get all the homebrews running on it - preferable as bubbles.
I want to be able to run:
- SNES, Genesis, ScummVM, etc
- TN-V for PSP games
- TN-X for PS1 games
- VitaFTP, PSPFiler

I have all the games needed to 'open' the normal PS Vita on my PSN account (and downloaded to my PS3):
- Puzzle Scape/Arcade Darts for initial VHBL to get FTP access to dupe the base game and set up the bubbles (can't remember which of both games I ended up using)
- Tekken 2 for PS1 emulation
- Numblast (which I use as base game for bubbles as it is only 40 MB)
- The Unity PSM app for 3.18 to run rejuvenate (although I don't use/need rejuvenate atm)

My PS Vita and PSN account are European (bought in germany prior I moved to the states).

Now my question:

1. Is it possible to get all this done on a VitaTV? It would be ok to run the homebrews via VHBL but I would prefer custom bubbles.

2. Where can I get a VitaTV that will come with 3.20 Firmware so I can use it with my PSN account. Is there a special bundle to look for? Also I read that 3.20 was the US release, will a US VitaTV on 3.20 allow me to use my EU PSN account?

3. Do I need additional software/games besides the exploit games mentioned above? I heard I need at least some update blocker as the VitaTV does not have 'flightmode'.

4. Can I use OpenCMA to transfer/restore games (e.g. to do the bubble base game dupe trick?)

Thanks!

Oh one more thing: I have an old 16GB SD card which I used on my 3.18 Vita which has VHBL and quite a few homebrews already installed. I recently upgraded to a 64GB SD card and installed all the homebrews again on that new card. Could I just stick my old SD card into a new 3.20 VitaTV and call it a day? Of course both would use the same PSN account.

This will work did something similar not too long ago.

Cool thanks I will try that.

So where do I get a VitaTV with 3.20 that I can use with my EU account? If I just get it from Amazon in the US would it still come with 3.20 or do they already have a newer FW?

Maybe a year ago it did but anymore most come with 3.35 today....

For OP I'd say your best bet is to buy a bundle. Most of the sales have been for the core system without the DS3 controller so maybe people didn't buy very many of the bundles.

Just an update: got my PSTV today (bundle for 70$ on Amazon) and it came with 3.20

Will turn it into worlds smallest 'Retro-In-a-Box' system next weekend!
