Need help with Ark 3.52, ark does not run psp iso's do

[zack0niel]

Iv been able to run psp iso's useing the base game petz club demo and loco roco carnival demo with sign104.

however when I try to run ark cfw, via using the provide NP.ISO all I get is a black screen than return to live area or sometimes an error. I think this has something to do with my file structure so if someone can look at it and tell me where im wrong:
PSAVEDATA/ULUS1024000(ARK_01234 files extracted here)/vitaftp(signed eboot here)/EBOOT.PBP
hence
PSAVEDATA/ULUS1024000/vitaftp/EBOOT.PBP

after mailing myself the app.db and restarting I tap on petz icon and ark should run because singed psp iso's do however it just goes blank and then crashes to live area

My Steps:
a.Use pkg extractor for downloaded petz pkg file

b.Extract EBOOT.PBP from there rename to NP.PBP and move to sign104 folder

c.Change compression to 0 in sign104 config

d.Copy ARK save content(3.52) to PSAVEDATA/ULUS1024000(content not ark folder)

e.Drag n drop NP.ISO over signbat and copy EBOOT.PBP from FIXGAME folder to PSAVEDATA/ULUS1024000/vitaftp/EBOOT.PBP

f.mail eddited app.db and install via trick.
Restart.
Black screen n crash when click on petz.
Same steps work for all game iso's but not ark/vhbl/vitaftp.

I don't know if it's a requirement or not, but I couldn't get ARK to run until I moved the ARK EBOOT file to a different save file. The ARK save file should be ARK_01234, and the ARK EBOOT itself is in VHBL12345/ark.

ok so when you edit the app db what did you write because they are two seperate directories?
right now mine is:
originalpath=ux0:pspemu/psp/savedata/ARK_01234/VHBL01234&selfpath=ux0:pspemu/psp/savedata/ARK_01234/VHBL01234/EBOOT.PBP&discid=NPUG80321&parentallevel=3&gamedataid=&appver=00.00&bootable=1&category=EG

in the bold letters on the second part shoul I simply remove ARK_01234 and just point to VHBL01234/EBOOT.PBP ?

Iv tried everything even switching to separate save files, No base games not even the confirmed ones work for any thing other than psp iso's which is useless as I prefer ark/vhbl emulators.
Vita 3g/wifi US 3.52
Petz sc demo = does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso
Gravity Crash= does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso
Loco roco carinival demo= does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso
FF Tactics= does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso
Prince of Persia sands=does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso

Would appreciate any help Or if someone can post a signed ARK EBOOT for any of the above listed as a base?

My vita is on 3.52 and i try the ARK bubble and there is an error C1-2755-9

[zack0niel]

FIXED
I used loco roco carnival demo
Compression must be YES
then it works as a save game.

re install base game issue should be resolved

[zack0niel]

Can anyone tell me how to install homebrew emulators properly ie gpsp?
Copying gpsp to savedata folder runs from from ark but crashes with many games.
Vhbl does not work.

I have a similar problem with my Ark-bubble.

Whenever I put an iso-File inside a Savefolder and move it onto the Vita with qcma then start Ark it errors out while "Scanning Saves" (Error Code is c1-2858-3) (when using OneMenu) but the Snes Emulator runs just fine with OneMenu.

When I try using the PRO Shell Menu and select a PSP Iso the whole Vita freezes completely.

Does anyone have an idea what I can do? Is it base game related?

I am using a 3.51 fat Vita with LocoRoco Carnival Demo.
