Srident’s SD2Vita adapters available for order on eBay in batches – New batches daily
Disclaimer from Aurora: While I have contacted Srident on Twitter/Reddit and he seems like a nice person, neither I nor Wololo can guarantee anything. The decision to buy one is yours to make and there’s adequate buyer protection from eBay/PayPal so you should be covered. Read eBay/PayPal’s buyer protection documents in order to know where you stand. As always, I support members of the community more than large Asian manufacturers so I appeal to you to support them too as you’ll be getting a superior product made with love for the community!
Update: more adapters will be available from Srident on Sunday 7/23
Modsiah’s 150 adapters (see note below as more are coming soon) were vaporized in an instant so now, you have your second (and third and fourth etc) chance to acquire your adapter! This time, it’s Srident’s adapter, which we covered earlier this month, that’s up for order!
What’s the SD2Vita adapter?
In a nutshell, it’s an adapter that lets you use microSD cards on your PSVita. You just have to put it in your gamecard slot and use your microSD card as ux0 or uma0 after setting it up. To set it up, check the article linked at the bottom of the post.
Great! How can I order it then?
It’s better you know some facts before ordering it regarding buyer protection and whatnot:
- The price is €15 and you have to pay €1.20 shipping (applies to all countries). If you have pre-ordered it, check your mailbox as you’ll get a link to get it for €13.50 instead!
- You can buy the adapter off eBay, which is a websites that accepts PayPal, so if you feel you’ve been wronged simply contact eBay buyer’s protection.
- The adapter is based on Xyz’s design with Gadoarch’s modification to make it simpler to produce.
- When you order the adapter, you will not get a case so you’ll only get a bare PCB. Cases for the adapter that you can insert in your Vita may pop up later – Adapter cases may not be compatible with SD2Vita adapters they weren’t designed for due to small differences in physical dimensions.
- For your convenience, the adapters are tested and are fully working.
- Shipping should take about 3-10 days depending on where you live as these come from France.
- The microSD card socket is gold-pinned for better durability.
- The adapter only works on FW 3.60 so 3.61+ won’t work.
The above is based upon public information and some questions I asked personally to Srident myself in which he answered to clear up any misconceptions. Now then, go press on the eBay link below and get your SD2Vita adapter before they sell out!
It seems that Srident will be posting links on Twitter so check those out or your mailbox if you pre-ordered.

Modsiah should also be taking orders for above 200 adapters tonight! Check his Twitter account for more info
Shame that psvsd most likely won’t be produced anymore due to its limited usability, wanted to use it for ux0: while having sd2vita for uma0:. Still better than what we had till now (nothing) I suppose.
The schematics are available so it would be produced just the same as this if you wanted. It’s all off the shelf components and it’s even less complex now that he removed the power circuit.
There’s also a USB version of that board (no sd conversion chip) that’s even more simple. Thanks to places like OSHPark it’s super cheap to take matters into your own hand and soldering is simple and perfect intro for newbies.
It’s $5.30 for 3 sd2vita boards there and gets as cheap as $10.70 for 10 (but you lose the option for copper and thinner pcb). MicroSD connectors are basically 10 cents each.
So, yeah, what a time to be alive in accessible storage. It’s the polar opposite of the wretched vita card scam. Glorious.
I am still waiting on the psvsd because it replaces the useless 3G card on my oled Vita..
the only possible downside for the sd2vita is that it takes up the game card space if you want to backup a game cart onto the sd that uses it as ux0. but extra storage options are always a good thing. that’s why iphone kinda sux because no micro sd!
@nonijod There is a version to mount SD to UMA0: just use that.
Also, wow this guy can’t solder AT ALL.
Was hoping for a LMA0: partition. 😀
There also are some folks selling them at AliExpress.
Can you post a link please? Can’t find them
Sorry for the late reaction, I was sleeping. Anyway, here ye go: https://m.nl.aliexpress.com/search.htm?keywords=ps+vita+micro+sd+adapter#/
Local is in Dutch as I can’t switch languages on mobile without AliExpress redirecting me to the app in which I can’t share/copy search queries.
Thank you for that, buying one from there now. Screw this guy and his 50-a-day link.
Why keep posting ads. about unknown people selling sd2vita ? Wait big Chinese firm to produce it and wait for better versions of this adapter.
These articles are simply meant to support the people who are supporting the community.
Let people do whatever they want on reddit but don’t advertise it on Wololo.net if “either I nor Wololo can guarantee anything”
Oh be quiet and get over yourself.
Support who exactly? The people you write about are unconfirmed to be legit. Seems like it would be safer or at least just as safe to order from Aliexpress from a Chinese vendor.
What is the difference? The Chinese probably won’t produce these because it’s niche. Nobody past 3.60 has any use for these.
I’m buying one tomorrow from somebody.
oh aurora, you should’ve savaged more this ungrateful *** who is just waiting and doing nothing for the vita community.
Are there any SD2Vita with casing? also, what’s the difference between running it as UX0 and UMA0?
I understand UX0 is basically the root…but are there any advantages one over the other? Since I assume this is treated as a game cart, multiple games and apps can be installed on it and work seprately?

Anyone know what is the largest Size MicroSD that can be used? Hoping a 256GB will work perfectly with it.
Also, looking at Ebay from the US, I get 3 Matches to the SD2Vita Adapter, but 1 is White coming from the UK, and 2 are Blue coming from Germany. Fakes or real?????
“When you order the adapter, you will not get a case so you’ll only get a bare PCB. Cases for the adapter that you can insert in your Vita may pop up later”
Wait, what does this mean? We can’t insert it until we have a case and have to use different means?
You can insert it, it just won’t be in a nice case 🙂
I don’t have my adapter yet. Can we use a doner cart and just cut the top off like one does with Everdrives?
Hey good question
What about this one? Anyone tested it out? These look perfect, no tension of damaging insides of the citcuit boards. http://store.logic-sunrise.com/en/psvita-1000-repair-spare-parts/1624-sd2vita-adaptator-microsd-for-cartbridge-slot-on-psvita.html
It’s actually sad to see people on eBay buying 10 of the boards and re-sell them for a 3 times higher price then regular. Even if you are curious af about SD2VITA, please do the community a favour and do not buy those…
i tried to order these and it says cant deliver to the USA. what the heck
Sorry to break the news to you; the world doesn’t resolve around the USA.
They never said it did.
i wasn’t trying to say that. was just making a comment, i was just saying. i all ready got ahold of him on it anyways so im good
Just to be aware of this, are the Aliexpress Alibaba SD2Vita legit ? I want to support this guys, but buying this from them is almost a race against ebay bots and resellers. Im talking about the Heroangel ones, if someone could tell me something would be great 🙂
Just tell me, please. Heroangel’s all that good? Just to know.
I wonder if one could solder a micro SD slot internally with the corresponding pinout of this adapter and just install the driver’s to make it work? Any thoughts?
Yes, it should work. But you won’t be able to use a game card at the same time.
And I guess it’s more complicated than just buying an adapter
Someone can write about the sd2vita adapter “HeroAngel”.
I am waiting for my adapter.
Adrenaline doesn’t like the redirect. Can’t get it working with one of these adapters.
Hi, i did put a few up on ebay, srident is cheaper but well.. http://www.ebay.fr/itm/-/253059653832?
*** as soon as i sell my psvita because I didn’t think anything like this would be possible. NOW IT IS
More available… gogoo
Should i get one now or wait ?
Does anyone have a front and back shot of any of these adapters? I have quite a few dupes of some vita games and am going to make my own out of one. It appears certain legs dont connect at all from the few pics i have seen, and also from looking closely at the pcb. Links?
