REminiscence Vita 0.4.0, EBOOT file fixed, now marked as safe
It always feels great to wake up to a new release or update to an existent homebrew and in this case, developer has decided to update his version of REminiscence to 0.4.0, which features two minor changes that are mostly related to the install process and where game data is stored. Nonetheless, if you still haven’t install REminiscence, this might be a good time to do so.
What is REminiscence?
REminiscence is an open-source implementation of the classic PC game Flashback. It is a Metroidvania-style 2D platformer made back in 1992 and was released on a ton of platforms including PC, SNES, 3DO and Sega Genesis. The game was remade in 2013 by the original designer, but was really badly received by critics, etching the original game’s place as a cult classic that everyone should at least try once. REminiscence was also available on the PSP via homebrew, but you can now enjoy a much superior version.
Changelog/Features for version 0.4.0:
- Eboot.bin is marked as safe.
- Now, you need to put the original data files in the folder ux0:data/SOMO00001/DATA
How to Install REminiscence:
Install the vpk file in your Vita
Put the original data files in the folder ux0:data/SOMO00001/DATA
Original files can be downloaded in several sites, for example:
http://gamesnostalgia.com/en/game/flashback-the-quest-for-identity
Download REminiscence Vita 0.4.0:
To download and use REminiscence all you have to do is go to the developer’s GitHub and grab the vpk file from there. As usual if you have bug reports to do, I urge you to do so via GitHub’s issue tracker system or the release thread on GBATemp.
Enjoy the release!

Thanks man.
It plays in the wrong pitch or something, but still, works.
Thanks for the update, no more warning from vitashell 🙂
I am not having any luck getting this to launch. I am unclear as to whether the original files go in ux0/app/data or ux0/data as the changelogs on the 2 releases show different paths on each. I have tried many variations of placing the original files in the dir but have had anything but a failure to launch. Could someone please explain in more detail for a novice? Thank you. And thank you to the dev for this port!
For version 0.4.0: extract flashback_delphine.zip and copy the all the files from .\flashback_delphine\fb\data to ux0:data/SOMO00001/DATA
Works great for me. Select button changes the screen stretching amount.
I replied a few days ago but the post never got approved. You’ve probably figured it out but just in case (for 0.4.0):
-Extract Flashback – REminiscence.zip
-Copy all the files from “.\Flashback – REminiscence\flashback_delphine\fb\data”to “ux0:data/SOMO00001/DATA”
Music plays too fast when Amiga files are loaded to data directory. Is that a known issue?
Yep, same issue here. Plays super fast then stops.
Is anyone else having trouble with the music? I loaded the sound files including the Sega cd speech files but the music plays too fast and the speech makes the program crash. I am using ver. 40
Sorry for the double post. I meant to say I am also having trouble with the speech files from the sega cd version 🙂
