[Release] ARK-2 (bubble) (3.36)

[Mithrot]

Fellas, you did change the exploit folder name, right? Put your custom game in the folder without the &? Didn't tinker around with the contents inside the & folder?

Change the exploit folder name?

You mean the folder we used for cloning bubbles? Didn't we need to do that to install ARK-2 in the first place?

Put your custom game in the folder without the &?

You mean PSP backup ISOs? Were we supposed to? Is there a reason for this?

Didn't tinker around with the contents inside the & folder?

Nope.

I recently got a Vita and it's on 3.3.6. I followed those videos from The Zett but I'm still confused.

1) In his videos he uses UNO as a base game for both VHBL and ARK 2/ I'm using Street Fighter Alpha 3 and only VHBL works am I supposed to use Street Fighter for both? Do I have to buy another PSP game for a base game?

2) I only access ARK-2 through VHBL. When I try to run any ISO/Game/PSP Filer on 138 menu it sends me back to VHBL. I even installed the ISO correctly and when I run it, it sends me back to VHBL. Even when I try to run Street Fighter Alpha 3 which I bought on PSN it sends me back to VHBL

I can assure you that the ISOs are for games I own physically. I don't want people to say I'm pirating and end up closing the thread.

I'm using Arcade Darts (clone bubble) for launch ARK2, but it runs with white screen and give error after 10sec. Filer and Ftp works fine with this trick.
Please help.

p.s. from vhbl this signed ARK works fine. error only from bubble

You can not use Minis or 3.20 exploit games (here is the list) as a base game for your homebrews/launchers/etc, because they have limited access and special restrictions (guess why ARK wont work via AD?).

Why am I getting the redownload problem then, as I'm using Uno just like you did.

EDIT: I just tried with Impossible Mission instead of Uno, ans it worked first time.

EDIT 2: It's actually going to a black screen with white text instead of ARK for some reason. It looks similar to PSP Filer, but it's different.

I believe that is ARK. press left directional pad twice to switch to GAME mode. By default I think ARK shows you the SAVEDATA folder. From the starting point hit X button twice to get back to root (MS0:) Then navigate to wherever your game is stored and press start once the game file is highlighted. Pressing left directional pad will switch between being able to load homebrew, PS1 (buggy), and Game Images.

Can someone help me with it? I don't understand all clearly, so i got Loco Roco Midnight Carnival, and used fake_np made the eboot.pbp and placed it in the save folder with the ark12345 folder but when i start the game it just starts normally without a green screen or something..

ark-2 bubble needs vhbl installed? i didn't install vhbl or etc , can i use this without install vhbl?

These 2 games worked for me as a base game for firmware 3.36

Metal Slug XX (166MB) $19.99
ALPHA MISSION II - (13.8MB) - $6.99

Better to use alpha mission II (smaller in size and cheaper).

I had "Metal Slug XX" as a free PS+ game, but the size of base game is not ideal for multiple bubbles. So I bought alpha mission II to try. First try and it worked. Also tried "Piyotama" but it did not work.

Edit: FYI. Both games work on PS TV 3.36 so should work on VITA.

you need a working exploit already installed in order to make custom bubbles.
