Vita3K games should be put into the `retrodeck/roms/psvita/` directory.
The supported formats are `pkg`, `zip`, `vpk`.
The `zRIF` format is also used during installation.
## Does Vita3K require BIOS or Firmware? Yes, the firmware can be installed from the Configurator or during first setup of RetroDECK. You can also install it manually:
Download the firmware from [Sony PSVita Software](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/psvita/system-software/) and open Vita3K from the Configurator and press `File - Install Firmware` to install the downloaded firmware. ## How to: Get games to show up inside the ES-DE interface In order to install a PSVita games is needed to: - Install a game opening the Vita3K emulator via Configurator, the supported formats are `pkg`, `zip`, `vpk`. - Upon installation the `zRIF` may be asked, it's different for each game, you can find it via web search by searching for example `WipEout 2048 (EU) zRIF`. - Install DLCs and patches in the same way. - Create an empty file in `retrodeck/roms/psvita/gamename.psvita`, please mind the `.psvita` extension.
For example: `roms/psvita/WipEout 2048 (EU).psvita.` - Edit the empty file adding the game `Title ID` (more below). - The game should appear in the game list after RetroDECK is re-opened or reloaded from the Utilities. ## How to find a title ID It can be found inside the Vita3K GUI in the Title ID column, or found via web search. For example the game `WipEout 2048 (EU)` has an ID that is `PCSF00007`. So simply add `PCSF00007` to the `WipEout 2048 (EU).psvita` file and the setup for this game is complete.
