After having for months a paperweight, i managed finally to use my Japanese Vita TV:
What i did aka: US/UK account usage method:
- Login with JP PSN account
- Update firmware to 3.30 (This is a must, without 3.30 you can't login/register with a US/UK Account)
- format/reset VTV
- login with your western account
- JVTV still uses inverted Accept/Cancel buttons, but the games don't, everytime i load or save a game i cancel by mistake lol
How to download games with disabled PSN store:
- Go to https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com
- Add games to download to download queue (pick "Both Vitas option)
- Turn off your VTV and turn it again
- VTV will login into PSN and start downloading games.
Actually this will only download on the first vita available only, so as you can have only one account online, if you have your normal vita idle it will only download on the VTV.
Here are the results so far:
- PSM&PSN Store not available on region/country (US/UK)
- You can set up all countries while registering your console though, so you can use any memory card (need confirmation, only done with a US one)
- "Topics" app remain japanese.
- You can still download games and data via Download Queue option at PSN Store website (https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com)
- No in-game updates for any apps of the list below.
- You can't turn on your Vita TV from PS3 Controller (3 am, on bed, comfy, had to wake up, i hated it).
- To be added

Q&A

yifanlu wrote:I tried proxy on 3.01 and 3.18 and it didn't work. I suspect the sign up and welcome app are hard coded to only show asian regions which is why an update was needed.
Q: Can you use a UK account?chihuahua wrote:i also tried the vita tv with US account, initial setup and account login spoofed will not let you login with anything but a Asian PSN account, to get to a UK or US account option you must update to firmware 3.30. meh
