Le développeur cnsldv nous propose de découvrir une nouvelle application taillé pour la Ps Vita mais aussi pour la PlayStation TV. Cet utilitaire permet d'échanger la memory stick d'une console vers une autre console, même si elle dispose d'un firmware différent.
C'est l'une des innombrables limitations introduites par Sony, le montage de la memory stick d'un appareil à un autre impose une mise à jour. Avec Cardunlock.vpk vous allez pouvoir utiliser la carte où vous le souhaitez.
L'opération consiste a examiner un fichier à la racine de votre carte, id.dat pour voir si un autre utilisateur ou une autre version du firmware est détectée, la suppression n'arrange pas la procédure puisqu'il est nécessaire de monter à nouveau le fichier pour pouvoir utiliser la carte.
L'application CardUnlock permet de monter la carte comme un point de montage et donc de supprimer la demande liée au fichier id.dat, et donc de pouvoir le supprimer tout en pouvant utiliser la carte.
CardUnlockWhat's it for?Sony added some annoying features to the Vita, one of which is that you can't swap memory cards between devices with different FW versions due to the "You must update" message. If one device runs HENkaku on 3.60 and the other is above 3.60 you can't use the card in the 3.60 device.How to buildGet vitasdk for your platform, clone this repo, cd to the dir and run:mkdir buildcd buildcmake ..makeHow to installYou need a Vita running HENkaku to be able to use CardUnlock. Install the vpk in the usual way (MolecularShell or VitaShell). If you are using a model 1K Vita you should use Application Storage Manager to copy CardUnlock to ur0: since you can't have a card in ux0: when you run it. Due to what it does CardUnlock is unsafe homebrew. I recommend building it from source, you should always do this where you can.How to use itstart Vita without the card insertedrun HENkaku and start CardUnlockinsert card, answer "no" to "do you want to reboot now" messagepress X to remove id.datpress X to reboot or O to exit (after pressing O you can remove the card to insert in another device)answer "no" to questions about copying content to the cardyou now have access to the cardHow does it work?The Vita looks at the file id.dat in the root of the card to see if it's attached to another user/version when mounting the card. Removing this file makes the Vita think this is a new card allowing you to mount it. The problem is that you need to mount the card to remove the file and mounting ux0: causes the Vita to check the file before you can delete it. CardUnlock gets around this by mounting the card as xmc0: which is the actual mount point for external cards. The Vita doesn't check for id.dat when you mount xmc0: so we can mount the device and delete id.dat.
