[PSTV-Vita] Partial Retail to DEX Conversion

[PixelButts]

I did a check on a game dump I made via vitamin (hence why check says the "steroid.suprx" shouldn't exist)

Oh, I spoke to you where you originally posted the pastebin. Good stuff, I was wondering who you were.

And uh-oh, hopefully retail vitas don't have hidden checks like that.

The check feature merely checks whether the app has the correct dependencies and if it has files that should not be present

It saves to a .log for easy viewing.

Oh, that's great stuff for checking file integrity xD.

Yes and thats really all the Check utility does.

Thanks man!!!, this actually deserves the hype that the incomplete debug checker got.

Glad I actually backed up vs0 for this tutorial. Some mad changes going on here!

Thanks for the tutorial, and especially for going through the effort of keeping the PS Store bubble.

The alternative is have the ones found on testkits/devkits which do let you see your download list, but you cannot browse the store.

The more you change in vs0 the more chance you end with a testkit/devkit duplicate (aside from hardware only present on devkits).

It's important to me not to ruin things, but still get the most out of something. I can't really change anything, but I can say that after doing this I know more about the system software differences than I did prior.

if you went through trying to keep the ps store bubble.. then i guess mine is more "true" debug like in a sense hahaha

It's also more restrictive.
Ive already had to undo the flashing process to restore everything

Henkaku was made to own the system like you want to own it. As such, I feel freedom and no chains holding you down is a better option than having a more true DEX system conversion.

I want the system to do everything a DEX system can (not devkit specific functions, only testkit), while still retain it's CEX aspects.

Any chance we can have DEX app.db reference, I might be able to mod it to get DEX apps registered.

OK I did this and the mr gas semi debug registry edit. Seems we may be able to enable even more via the registry. I got pseudo 1080p (aka up scaled) with an edit. Maybe those locked features can be unlocked now with Vita Registry Editor

I just want to point out that calling it DEX and CEX is wrong :D
a retail Vita would be PCH and a test kit is PTEL.

EDIT: In case you guys are wondering about CEX/DEX, the "X" is a variable since PS3 systems are for example CECHA/B/C/D while the debugging station(test kit) is the same just change the first C to D.
proper dev kits are DECR FYI.

SOOOO yea IDK im sleepy, grumpy and love semantics.

EDIT2!: Actually since Vita are PCH/PTEL/PDEL we could call it CEL/TEL/DEL? IDK....

Agreed but I think it's just said that way so most understand just what it means. But I do agree
