Portal Vita is a Unity3D Remake of Portal ported to the PS Vita.

It was ported by a developer named DanCooper but later made lost and abandoned by them. This page is an archive of the game for you to try out and enjoy!

This game was still incomplete at the time of its existence and so, has little gameplay to offer.

==Installation==
'''Step 1: (Download the game file):
* Download the VPK file using the link provided with the page.

'''Step 2 (Transfer the game file to your PS Vita):
* After downloading the VPK file to your device, transfer it to your PS Vita via USB or FTP.

'''Step 3 (Install the game):
* Once transferred, install the game on VitaShell by pressing cross while selecting the VPK file and then click cross 2 times ignore the pop ups.
* Wait for the game to finish installation, then close VitaShell and open your newly installed game!

Its pretty simple to get this port up and running as the game comes in one big file.

Port of Unreal Tournament for the PS Vita.

== Installation ==
'''Instructions:'''
* Legally obtain your copy of Unreal Tournament and extract the game data files.
* Copy the <code>ut99</code> folder containing the game data files into <code>ux0:data/</code>.
* Install <code>ut99.vpk</code> (from [https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/UT99-Vita/releases/latest Releases] or VitaDB).

== Controls ==
Left Analog - Move

Right Analog - Aim (Move Cursor in Menus)

L - Alternate Fire

R - Fire (Click in Menus)

Cross - Jump

Square - Crouch

Triangle - Equip best weapon

Circle - Equip Slot 0 weapon (Impact Hammer/Translator)

D-Pad Left - Equip previous weapon

D-Pad Right - Equip next weapon

D-Pad Up - Feign Death

D-Pad Down - Equip Slot 0 weapon (Impact Hammer/Translator)

Start - Pause

Select - Show Score

== Special Options Mapping ==
There are a few options that are re-used for different purposes on Vita:
* '''DeadZoneXYZ''': Deadzone for the left analog.
* '''DeadZoneRUV''': Deadzone for the right analog.
* '''ScaleXYZ''': Scale used for gyro aiming.
* '''ScaleRUV''': Scale used for right analog aiming.
* '''InvertY''': Invert Y axis for gyro aiming.
* '''InvertV''': Invert Y axis for right analog aiming.
* '''UseJoystick''': Enables gyro aiming.

The calculation for the aiming is done lossly as follows:
<code>FinalAimDelta = ((ScaleXYZ * GyroDelta) + RightAnalogDelta) * ScaleRUV</code>

== Known issues ==
* Loading times are pretty rough and the game can have framedrops in more chaotic situations.
* Editing Options from in-game can brick the .ini file. If you want to edit options, edit the .ini files in the System folder directly.

See [https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/UT99-Vita/issues Issues] for currently known problems.

'''PS3 HEN''' (Homebrew ENabler) is a homebrew framework for '''all PS3 consoles on official firmware 4.82+'''.
It allows you to run homebrew apps, backup managers, and unlock many features normally exclusive to CFW consoles.

PS3 HEN is designed specifically for consoles that '''cannot install full CFW''', such as late Slims (3xxx series) and all Super Slim models.

== Features ==
* Homebrew apps and games.
* Backup loading support (ISO, PKG, and folder format).
* WebMAN MOD integration.
* PS3, PS2 (partial), PS1, and PSP ISO loading.
* System call unlocks.
* Package manager & debug settings.
* Works on latest firmware (4.82 – 4.93 at time of writing).

==Installation==
'''Warning:''' Follow each step carefully. Incorrect installation can result in errors or require a system restore.

=== Requirements ===
* A PS3 on official firmware 4.82 – 4.93 (any model).
* USB storage device formatted to FAT32.
* Internet connection (for exploiting via browser).
* The latest release of PS3 HEN (download from [https://github.com/PS3Xploit/PS3HEN/releases here]).

=== Step 1 – Prepare your console ===
# Power on your PS3 and update to the latest official firmware supported by HEN (currently 4.91).
# Restore default settings (recommended, not mandatory).
# Format your USB drive to FAT32 and keep it connected to the console.

=== Step 2 – Enable the exploit ===
# On your PS3, open the '''Internet Browser''' and go to: [https://ps3xploit.me/ ps3xploit.me].
# Select your firmware version and choose '''HEN Installer'''.
# The exploit will run. Your PS3 may freeze once or twice – restart and retry until you see "HEN installation successful".
# After success, exit the browser.

=== Step 3 – Install HEN ===
# Go to the '''Package Manager''' on the XMB.
# Under "Standard" packages, install the "HEN Installer" PKG file that was downloaded.
# Once installed, you will now see "Enable HEN" on your XMB.

=== Step 4 – Activating HEN ===
# Each time you reboot your PS3, you must select "Enable HEN" from the XMB.
# After activation, Debug Settings and Package Manager become available.
# You can now install and run homebrew PKGs, WebMAN MOD, and other tools.

==User guide==
=== Running Homebrew ===
* Install homebrew PKG files via Package Manager → Install Package Files.
* Launch them directly from the XMB once HEN is enabled.

=== Backup Loading ===
* Place ISO or folder-format backups in the appropriate directory on your USB or HDD (e.g. <code>/PS3ISO</code>).
* Use WebMAN MOD or multiMAN to mount and run them.

=== Plugin support ===
HEN supports lightweight VSH plugins:
<pre>
/dev_hdd0/plugins/webftp_server.sprx
/dev_hdd0/plugins/psnpatch.sprx
</pre>

Plugins can be managed with WebMAN MOD’s settings.

Convert VNDS games to be usable with [[Higurashi_Vita|Higurashi-Vita]].

What the conversion does:
* Converts all images to 32-bit PNGs, using ARGB bits. This ensures libvita2d can load them.
* Organizes the folder to look like a Higurashi folder by moving assets into different folders.
* Unzips ZIP files.
* Creates an “isvnds” file to mark the folder as a VNDS game for Higurashi-Vita.
* If your game has .aac audio, it detects and converts it with FFmpeg.

==User guide==
* Make sure you have at least [[Higurashi Vita]] v2.4+.
* Get a VNDS game.
* If your game has AAC audio, install FFmpeg and ensure it’s in PATH or in the same directory as the converter.
* Extract the VNDS game ZIP file. No need to extract sound.zip, background.zip, etc. yourself.
* Run the program.
* Choose the root of the VNDS game folder. Linux users will need to type in the path manually, while Windows users can use a GUI.
* Wait for it.
* The converted game will be in a new folder named "<original folder name>-converted".
* Move the converted game folder to ux0:data/HIGURASHI/Games/.

==Changelog==
'''v1.4'''
*Fix stretched sprite bug on Windows.
'''v1.3'''
*Fix sound archive creation on Windows.
'''v1.2'''
*Create SEArchive.legArchive for Higurashi-Vita v2.7+.
'''v1.1'''
*Pad character images. Possibly fix [https://github.com/MyLegGuy/Higurashi-Vita/issues/3 Higurashi-Vita #3].
'''v1.0'''
*Fix paths with spaces in them when doing audio conversion with FFmpeg.
'''v0.1'''
* First Release.

PS3 HEN

2025-09-21T12:37:31Z

SSMG4: Initial Entry

{{Infobox PS3 Homebrews
|title=HEN
|image=ps3hen.png
|description=Homebrew ENabler for all non-CFW compatible PS3 models.
|author=PS3Xploit Team
|lastupdated=2025/03/09
|type=Custom Firmwares
|version=3.4.0
|license=N/A

}}
'''PS3 HEN''' (Homebrew ENabler) is a homebrew framework for '''all PS3 consoles on official firmware 4.82+'''.
It allows you to run homebrew apps, backup managers, and unlock many features normally exclusive to CFW consoles.

PS3 HEN is designed specifically for consoles that '''cannot install full CFW''', such as late Slims (3xxx series) and all Super Slim models.

== Features ==
* Homebrew apps and games.
* Backup loading support (ISO, PKG, and folder format).
* WebMAN MOD integration.
* PS3, PS2 (partial), PS1, and PSP ISO loading.
* System call unlocks.
* Package manager & debug settings.
* Works on latest firmware (4.82 – 4.91 at time of writing).

==Installation==
'''Warning:''' Follow each step carefully. Incorrect installation can result in errors or require a system restore.

=== Requirements ===
* A PS3 on official firmware 4.82 – 4.91 (any model).
* USB storage device formatted to FAT32.
* Internet connection (for exploiting via browser).
* The latest release of PS3 HEN (download from [https://github.com/PS3Xploit/PS3HEN/releases here]).

=== Step 1 – Prepare your console ===
# Power on your PS3 and update to the latest official firmware supported by HEN (currently 4.91).
# Restore default settings (recommended, not mandatory).
# Format your USB drive to FAT32 and keep it connected to the console.

=== Step 2 – Enable the exploit ===
# On your PS3, open the '''Internet Browser''' and go to: [https://ps3xploit.me/ ps3xploit.me].
# Select your firmware version and choose '''HEN Installer'''.
# The exploit will run. Your PS3 may freeze once or twice – restart and retry until you see "HEN installation successful".
# After success, exit the browser.

=== Step 3 – Install HEN ===
# Go to the '''Package Manager''' on the XMB.
# Under "Standard" packages, install the "HEN Installer" PKG file that was downloaded.
# Once installed, you will now see "Enable HEN" on your XMB.

=== Step 4 – Activating HEN ===
# Each time you reboot your PS3, you must select "Enable HEN" from the XMB.
# After activation, Debug Settings and Package Manager become available.
# You can now install and run homebrew PKGs, WebMAN MOD, and other tools.

==User guide==
=== Running Homebrew ===
* Install homebrew PKG files via Package Manager → Install Package Files.
* Launch them directly from the XMB once HEN is enabled.

=== Backup Loading ===
* Place ISO or folder-format backups in the appropriate directory on your USB or HDD (e.g. <code>/PS3ISO</code>).
* Use WebMAN MOD or multiMAN to mount and run them.

=== Plugin support ===
HEN supports lightweight VSH plugins:
<pre>
/dev_hdd0/plugins/webftp_server.sprx
/dev_hdd0/plugins/psnpatch.sprx
</pre>

Plugins can be managed with WebMAN MOD’s settings.

}}
Apollo Save Tool is an application to manage save-game files, trophies, and licenses on the PlayStation 3.

This homebrew application allows you to download, unlock, patch and resign save-game files directly on your PS3. It can also unlock and resign trophies, backup/restore licenses, and create PS2 Classic images.

===Features===
* Easy to use: no crypto-key configuration or advanced setup needed.
* Standalone: no computer required, everything happens on the PS3.
* Automatic settings: auto-detection of PSID, IDPS and Account-ID settings.
* Multi-user: supports multiple user accounts.

===Changelogs===
See the latest changes [https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-ps3/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md here].

===Instructions===
No special setup is needed. Just download the latest apollo package and install it on your PlayStation 3. On first run, the application will detect and setup the required user settings.

===Usage===
Using the application is simple and straight-forward:

* Move UP/DOWN to select the save-game file you want to patch, and press X button. The patch screen will show the available fixes for the file. Select the patches and click Apply.
* To view the item's details, press Triangle. It will open the context menu on the screen. Press O button to return to the list.
* To reload the list, press Square.
* Press L1/L2 or R1/R2 trigger buttons to move pages up or down.

===FAQ===

1. Where I can get a save-game for XYZ game?

You can check sites like [https://ps3.brewology.com/gamesaves/savedgames.php?page=savedgames&system=ps3 Brewology.com], and [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps3/ GameFAQs]. Also, searching on Google might help.

2. I have a save-game file that I want to share. How can I upload it?

If you have a save file that is not currently available on the Online Database and want to share it, please check [https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-saves this link] for instructions.

3. Why is it called Apollo?

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo Apollo] was the twin brother of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis Artemis], goddess of the hunt. Since this project was born using the [https://github.com/Dnawrkshp/ArtemisPS3/ Artemis-GUI] codebase, I decided to respect that heritage by calling it Apollo.

|title=Vita Homebrew Rom Hacks (Game Hacks) - GameBrew
|title_mode=append
|image=minecraftenhancedvita.png
|image_alt=Minecraft: Enhanced Mod
}}
An unofficial enhanced mod for Minecraft developed by PG Team, designed to restore and improve both the visuals and technical aspects of the things missing in the official edition of Minecraft PS Vita compared to the Bedrock and Java Versions.

==Installation==
Requires the [[RePatch_reLoaded_Vita|rePatch plugin]] to be installed.

Download the archives according to the game region you need.

Unpack *.zip-archives on your PC.

Move the folder "<REGION_NAME>_<TITLEID>_1.83_spoof_1.84_decrypt" onto your console in the root of ux0: or in a selected directory of ux0:.
* The contents of the rePatch folder are to be transfered to ux0:rePatch/.
* As well as the contents of the reAddcont folder to ux0:reAddcont/.

Go to [[VitaShell]], select the folder "<REGION_NAME>_<TITLEID>_1.83_spoof_1.84_decrypt" and install it (Triangle > More > Install folder).

Wait for the installation process to complete.

==User guide==
===Save transfer===
Before installing the mod, navigate to the directory at ux0:user/00/savedata/ and locate the folder corresponding to your Minecraft save data (PCSB00560/PCSE00491/PCSG00302). Open it in decrypted mode (Triangle > Open decrypted) and copy the save folders (named like "<TITLEID>-<NUMBERS>") to any custom directory of your choice (e.g. ux0:Files).

After installing the mod, launch the game and create a new world. Once the world loads, exit to the main menu using "Exit and Save" and close the game.

Access the previously created folder (in our example, ux0:Files) and choose any save (folders with names like "<TITLEID>-<NUMBERS>"). Copy the "GAMEDATA.bin" file from the selected directory.

Go to the directory ux0:user/00/savedata/, find the new save folder and open it in decrypted mode (Triangle > Open decrypted).

Go to the save folder that was recently created by the game. Paste the previously copied GAMEDATA.bin file, overwrite if asked.

Repeat steps 2-5 to transfer all the other saves you need.

===FAQ===
'''Q. Does the modification affect performance?'''

No, performance is the same as in the original game (version 1.83).

Warning: The "Enhanced Animations" resource pack may negatively impact performance due to the large number of animations.

'''Q. Does the modification support saves from the regular version of the game?'''

Yes, but you need to carry out a special procedure for the save transfer.

'''Q. Does the modification support all languages that were supported by the original?'''

Yes, but our own edits are only in English and Russian locations.

'''Q. Does the modification support VitaGrafix?'''

Yes, native resolution and frame rate limit patches are fully functional.

Warning: We HIGHLY do not recommend activating the native resolution patch as it breaks text and other UI items which affects the overall experience of using the mod.

'''Q. Does the modification support network features?'''

Yes, all features, related to PSN, work correctly. The game will also not require any updates.

Warning: You can only play with players who also have version 1.83 of the game.

'''Q. Why do i have a trial versions of DLCs?'''

Because you have a different version of rePatch or you've followed the rePatch transfer instructions wrong. Please install latest version of [[RePatch_reLoaded_Vita|rePatch reLoaded]] instead of your current one or redo the rePatch transfer instructions correctly.

'''Q. Can you offer some sort of recommended settings?'''

Yes! here are some settings:

* [[VitaGrafix]]:
** Resolution: 720x408
** FPS Cap: 30
* [[PSVshell Vita|PSVShell]]:
** 500MHz CPU overclock
* Game:
** Gamma: 30-40%
** Texture pack: Enhanced Additions

Portal Vita is a Unity3D Remake of Portal ported to the PS Vita.

It was ported by a developer named DanCooper but later made lost and abandoned by them. This page is an archive of the game for you to try out and enjoy!

This game was still incomplete at the time of its existance and so, has little gameplay to offer.

==Installation==
'''Step 1: (Download the game file):
* Download the VPK file using the link provided with the page.

'''Step 2 (Transfer the game file to your PS Vita):
* After downloading the VPK file to your device, transfer it to your PS Vita via USB or FTP.

'''Step 3 (Install the game):
* Once transfered, install the game on VitaShell by pressing cross while selecting the VPK file and then click cross 2 times ignore the pop ups.
* Wait for the game to finish installation, then close VitaShell and open your newly installed game!

Its pretty simple to get this port up and running as the game comes in one big file.
