Quote:Since a more or less short break from public posts I am back with a little tool called “PS VITA Firmware xTractor”.
For now it only works with firmware 00.945.040, though surely I will update it sooner or later.
Just a short info about the firmware itself, it is not unencrypted like the PS3 ones.
The tool is ment for those who will join the VITA scene as a little sign that you are not alone ;-)
Crawl out of your holes and come up with your tools and research, guys! :)
I hope the PS VITA scene will not fudge up as the PS3 scene did over the last months cause of the piracy infected environment.
If you ask anyone who was with the beginning of the PS3 scene it was much more fun without the commercial sense behind it all.
Without this spoon it would even have saved many talented people of a lot of trouble.
Nevertheless I hope to see the good guys back @ VITA!

Quote:Aswell I added a simple check for the input file validation.
On linux I didnt bother to fix graphical issues, yet.

Quote:And here wee go with version 2.00:
As the last version was hardcoded for a specific firmware, this new version supports any PS VITA firmware file.
As well graphic bugs which appeared for some users should been fixed now.
As a little extra I implemented an information tab, which shows various info about the loaded firmware.
Information about the single files will be added in the next release, to be honest I was to lazy to implement it for now :P
In the next days I will compile it for Linux and MAC, so anyone can use it.

Quote:I just updated the PS VITA FW xTractor, changelog is attached below.
The 2.00 version had a problem setting the filenames correctly as the 1.0+ updates have different files than the older ones. Anyway, enjoy…
Changelog:
Filename fix
Download FW added
