Briefly cover how to install PSM 2.01 in the README? #1

Closed dogtopus closed 4 years ago

All the tutorials I found on Google are either horribly outdated from even first glance or don't work for me. I ended up unpacked the update PKG and directly put the contents under ux0:/patch like I was installing nonpdrm games which worked for me, but at that point I already wasted hours trying different stuff and almost corrupted my PKG installer.

Have you looked at the guide from Samilops? His looks to be the easiest to follow. I'll reference it in the README if you think it's helpful.

This is the first thing I saw. However I got a black screen when using PKG installer launcher on 3.65 (both the version mentioned here and the newer version) so I can't install PSM runtime via PKG installer.

Personally I'd just use pkgj to install 1.0 and then launch any psm game to install the 2.1 update. I'll see if I can get around to writing a tutorial or something.

I thought pkgj was able to install updates the nonpdrm way (i.e. directly extract to patch and refresh livearea/license) so no psm games required. Correct me if I'm wrong. pkgj seems to follow system installation procedure so it's not possible to use pkgj alone.

Seems that it's possible to copy ux0:bgdl/t/PCSI00011/0000 to ux0/patch/, rename to PCSI00011, cancel the installation and refresh license/livearea to force install the patch without any PSM app installed. This way only pkgj and vitashell is required.

@dogtopus I found the solution, disable plugins (eg hold L on boot or hold R on henkaku) and then launch.

dogtopus commented 4 years ago

@PipeWarp Did you identify the exact plugin that breaks the launcher? Since not everyone can boot the vita with all plugins disabled (e.g. sd2vita users)

EDIT: okay some simple tests later it seems to be caused by reF00D. Disabling it and PKG installer launches fine.

@dogtopus can you close the issue now

ppekko commented 4 years ago

I've also added the instruction to disable plugins in samilop's guide

dogtopus commented 4 years ago

@PipeWarp One suggesstion: maybe specifically mention that reF00D causes issue with PKG installer and let user to disable only reF00D first. If they still got a black screen maybe disable all unnecessary plugins in config.txt. As I mentioned that disabling all plugins/boot to henkaku safe mode is simply not really feasible for some users (like users who use only sd2vita on fat model).
