## Where to put the games?
|
|
Vita3K games should be put into the `retrodeck/roms/psvita/` directory.<br>
|
|
The supported formats are `pkg`, `zip`, `vpk`. <br>
|
|
|
|
## Does Vita3K require BIOS or Firmware?
|
|
Yes, it requires two firmwares.
|
|
|
|
- The Firmware: `PSVUPDAT.PUP`
|
|
- The Firmware Font Package: `PSP2UPDAT.PUP`
|
|
|
|
The firmware and font firmware can be downloaded and installed from the Configurator.
|
|
|
|
You can also install them manually:<br>
|
|
Download the firmwares from
|
|
|
|
- [Sony PSVita Firmware](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/psvita/system-software/)
|
|
- [Sony PSVita Firmware Font Package](https://dus01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/image/2022_0209/sd_59dcf059d3328fb67be7e51f8aa33418/PSP2UPDAT.PUP?dest=usand)
|
|
|
|
Open Vita3K from the Configurator and press `File - Install Firmware` to install the downloaded firmware.
|
|
|
|
## Licence Files and Keys
|
|
|
|
Licence files `.bin` `.rif` or licence keys called a `zRif` are required for many games.<br>
|
|
They need to be installed by pressing `File - Install Licence` then either `Select work.bin / rif` for the files or `Enter zRif` to input the key.
|
|
|
|
## How to: Get games to show up inside the ES-DE interface
|
|
|
|
**Example:** <br>
|
|
In this example we got a game we want to add: `OutWipe 4820`
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Install the Game
|
|
Open the Vita3K emulator via Configurator and press `File` and either `Install .pkg` or `Install .zip, .vpk` depending on what game file you have.
|
|
|
|
In our example `OutWipe 4820` is a `.pkg` file so we chose the `Install .pkg` option and navigate to the file to install it.
|
|
|
|
#### Step 1b: Add Licences (not always needed)
|
|
During installation the Vita3K could call for a Licence File or Key. <br>
|
|
Either add the `.bin` or `.rif` files or input the `zRif` key in the prompt.
|
|
Check more above in the **Licence Files and Keys** section.
|
|
|
|
#### Step 1c: Install any DLCs or patches
|
|
Install the patches and DLC the same way as the game by repeating Step 1 to 1b for the filetype the patch/DLC is in `pkg`, `zip`, `vpk`.
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Check the Title ID of the game
|
|
|
|
<img src="../../wiki_images/emulators/vita3k/vita3k-titleid.png">
|
|
|
|
In the Vita3K interface the third colum you can see the Title ID of the game you just installed. <br>
|
|
You can also check [Vita3K Game Compatibility and ID List](https://vita3k.org/compatibility.html?lang=en).
|
|
|
|
In our example we find out that the Title ID of `OutWipe 4820` is `PCSF00007`
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Create the .psvita file
|
|
- The `.psvita` file starts as a empty textfile that needs to be created in roms folder `retrodeck/roms/psvita/`
|
|
- Name the file `<gamename>.psvita`
|
|
- In our example the file will be called `OutWipe 4820.psvita`
|
|
|
|
The end result should look like:<br>
|
|
`retrodeck/roms/psvita/OutWipe 4820.psvita`
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Open the pstvita file and add the Title ID
|
|
Open up the empty `OutWipe 4820.psvita` file and just type in the `<Title_ID>` in the first row of the file and save, in this example you enter `PCSF00007`.<br>
|
|
Make sure you don't add any spaces or linebreaks and the file should just contain the word `PCSF00007`.
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: The game should now run
|
|
The game should now be added to the ES-DE interface from the `retrodeck/roms/psvita/OutWipe 4820.psvita` file you just created and can be played after you reload RetroDECK from the Configurator or re-launch the application.
