PSVita / PSTV

This guide assumes you are using a genuine copy with Sony's DRM over it, that you already have the NoNpDrm kernel module installed, and that you have launched the game with it at least once to auto-generate fake licenses. Most hacked Vitas already have this configured. If your Vita does not have the NoNpDrm plugin, make sure to install it first.

Game & Updates

  1. Open VitaShell on your PSVita
  2. Find the Title ID for your version of the game
    • The Title ID is the unique product SKU for your game. It varies depending on how you bought the game (digital download or cartridge) and what country you purchased it in. For cartridges, you can find the Title ID written at the bottom of the spine on the protective cover the game arrived in. Here is a reference if you need help: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/vita/620281-wipeout-2048/data
      • United States & Canada, Digital: PCSA00015
      • United States & Canada, Physical: PCSA22003
      • Europe & Oceania, All Versions: PCSF00007
      • Japan, Digital: PCSC00006
      • Japan, Physical: VCJS10002
      • South Korea, Digital: PCSD00005
      • Asia, Physical: VCAS32009
  3. Open the encrypted PFS
    • Digital: Go to ux0:/app/, look for your Title ID and then press the Triangle button. Select "Open Decrypted" to continue.
    • Physical: With the game cartridge inserted, go to gro0:/app/, look for your Title ID and then press the Triangle button. Select "Open Decrypted" to continue.
  4. Open the "PSP2" folder, select data.psarc with the marker (Square button). Then press the triangle button, choose Copy.
  5. Exit to ux0:/, press Triangle, and create a new folder with the name of your choosing. Open that folder
  6. Press Triangle and choose Paste to decrypt the PSARC to the new folder.
  7. Open a connection from your computer over FTP or USB, and then copy the decrypted file to your ~/.firestar/ folder on your PC.
  8. On your Vita, open ux0:/patch/ and repeat steps 3 to 7 to decrypt the game updates.
    • Also double-check grw0:/ for cartridges if the partition exists.

HD Fury DLC

  1. Download pkg2zip and psvpfsparser
  2. Open an FTP connection to VitaShell and copy over all of the licenses in ux0:/nonpdrm/license/addcont/(your Title ID)
    • If you want, you can use a pirated zRIF from the NoPayStation link in step 3 instead.
  3. Download the DLC PKGs appropriate for your region here.
    You need to look for DLC1W2048PACKAGE (WipEout HD Add-On Pack) and DLC2W2048PACKAGE (WipEout HD Fury Add-On Pack).
    • Dumps from a Vita with the DLC already installed have been "tainted" and likely won't work, which is why we are using NPS.
  4. Use pkg2zip to extract each package file with it's corresponding key, for example: 
    pkg2zip.exe -x dlc1.pkg KO5ifR1dQ+eHBlgi6TI0Bdnv4uNsGG5kYGIR4Ojs7ejuis9/anXfuudVNvzgdu+9z1z+asJojA9uAACgRhTl
pkg2zip.exe -x dlc2.pkg KO5ifR1dQ+eHBlgi6TI0Bdnv4uNsFG5kYGIR4Ojs7ejuis9/3fydBRm3eCJX7biz/vVTm/2jMT64AQCCYhVy
  5. Then use psvpfsparser to decrypt the folders: 
    psvpfsparser.exe -i addcont/PCSA00015/DLC1W2048PACKAGE -o ./ -z KO5ifR1dQ+eHBlgi6TI0Bdnv4uNsGG5kYGIR4Ojs7ejuis9/anXfuudVNvzgdu+9z1z+asJojA9uAACgRhTl -f cma.henkaku.xyz
psvpfsparser.exe -i addcont/PCSA00015/DLC2W2048PACKAGE -o ./ -z KO5ifR1dQ+eHBlgi6TI0Bdnv4uNsFG5kYGIR4Ojs7ejuis9/3fydBRm3eCJX7biz/vVTm/2jMT64AQCCYhVy -f cma.henkaku.xyz
  6. Copy the decrypted PSARCs to your ~/.firestar/ folder.

Vita3K Emulator

See the PSVita guide for dumping the HD Fury DLC above. The same steps should apply.
