Reddit reviews XBERSTAR Version3.0 SD2VITA PSVSD Micro SD Adapter for PS Vita Henkaku Enso 3.60 System

Is it the vita phat or slim? If slim, skip the 4gb card and get yourself an SD card adaptor asap. I have the SD2vita version 3.0 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075SZ3QV3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Definitely do not bother with the first versions that were released and are now priced extremely cheap. They fail often. Much more advisable to spend £10-£15 on a decent one.

And of course, update to 3.60 FW

I've got this 1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B075SZ3QV3/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1521403788&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=sd2vita+3.0&dpPl=1&dpID=41z302RyeWL&ref=plSrch

Works perfectly fine and the gamecard slot does close fully.... Got mine off eBay for £5 UK seller also 👍

I got mine on Amazon, probably also available on Ebay.
I've been using this one since the day Fl0w released his updated hack https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075SZ3QV3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I haven't used any handheld pi. I guess there are some good alternatives though.

​

​

NDS with charger. $25 - $40 (I would get the DSi) (DSlite bumpers and things tend to wearout)

A flash cart for NDS. $15 - $20 (DSTT I hear is best) (Acekard2i is great) (R4 is hard to tell the model) (DSTWO flashcart drains battery life, is overpriced, but has built in cpu and emulators for gba snes and genesis) All are compatible with 3ds, NDS, DSi.

MicroSD. $10. Samsung EVO 32gb on amazon is a good deal

The DS has a lot of great games, snes and genesis emulators work okay but not the best. GBA emulation only works with dstwo or ez-flash.

Total $50 - $70.

​

​

PSVITA w/ charger $110 - $150. Never used one, cfw is available for firmware up to 3.68. The firmware 3.69 is not hackable.

Vita Memory Card + microsd $20. Since the proprietary memory card are so expensive.

PSVITA & TV are cfw compatible up to 3.67 - 3.68, however there may be some homebrew incompatibility on these firmwares. 3.69 is not compatible yet. CFW can load PSP homebrew as well as play PS1.

Total $130 - $170

​

​

Wii U complete console $140. Used - Very good

SD card. $15 Sandisk 64gb Extreme SDXC

DS Virtual Console Game $10 From E-shop, needed to play DS on Console/Gamepad screens.

Emulates Nintendo up to DS, has an abandoned PSX emulator from the wii. Portable and Console for TV.

Total $165

​

The consoles and handhelds fluctuate in price. PSvita TV was low as $40 at one time, they are a bit inflated right now but collectors items will hold value. Finding one second hand or used for half-price is probable a used PSP is easy to find for $40 but not online.

​

​

RPI $25 - $40 RPI3b+ is what I have connected to my TV. The RPI2 is similar to RPI0 and emulates PSX but not all, as per the RPI3B+. There are many SBCs, I think the OdroidC2 and Tinkerboard and NanoPI M4 are all interesting but I have not used them.

Case + Heatsink and fan $25 - $30 There are other cases Argon One, SuperPI Retroflag, many others, some bundles heatsink and fan are necessary for the rpi3b+. The retroflag controllers are not preferred.

Power Supply $15 or official raspberry pi power supply.

MicroSD $10

Controllers $15 - $35 There are a lot of options here, recycle your PS3 or XBOX360 controller, Buy a corded Ibuffalo Snes, 8bitdo SF30, logitech, retro-bit/retrolink n64. I think only the RPI3B+ and RPI Zero W have bluetooth, else an adapter is needed.

Total $75 - $130

I have a first model ps vita 1000 with a 16gb. I know space is okay but is that all I really need to hack my vita, or do I need those HENkaku sd card holder for example like this one being sold on Amazon:

nope, none of the home-brew apps were there afterwards. I had to use the site to reinstall molecular shell, and thats when the hangup happened, when I wanted to FTP the proper VPKs for use (VitaShell, Enso, etc) the FTP client wasn't able to see the server molecular shell had made.

I decided afterward to wait till the weekend when I go to my S/O's place and use her PC and internet and just set everything up there.

I plan on using the Pastebin file you mentioned above to setup SD2Vita properly, and this time, I never even inserted the Sony memory card, so that should minimize problems.

for reference, heres the SD2Vita adapter im using.
