- When games come out that demand a higher version than 3.60 take the following steps #################################################################
- Full disclaimer
- -This is intended for 1.2 Vitamin or later. Vitamin will still only do so much. It's not perfect, and this isn't either.
- -This will not ensure your game dumps will work. That part is solely on TheFloW and Vitamin 1.1. However, it should allow you to be on a firmware lower than it wants and still dump it.
- -At this moment in time Vitamin is still v1.1 and only supports so much, and I dont have any games that require 3.61, but this is what I expect to work (and has shown to work in the past).
- -The only tests I've run have been with sub 3.60 games and modifying them to demand 3.61+, seeing if they fail to boot, then returning them to a 3.60 or lower firmware.
- -My systems are CEX2DEX, and some firmware restrictions are not present as a result. CEX (PCH, VTE) may have more restrictions, hence why I'm keeping this all here.
- -Parts of this may or may not be important.
- -I cannot spoonfeed you. If something isn't right you can try problem solving. You have Google, something people seem to forget, so use it.

- 0) What you're going to need
- -Henkaku (http://henkaku.xyz/)
- -Molecule/Vitashell
- -Vita (PCH) or PSTV (VTE)
- -FW 3.60
- -knowledge of Bandaid dumps (http://pastebin.com/mE4YUBFP)
- -Vitamin (for bandaid or normal dumps as you wish)
- 1) FTP your id.dat (on ux0)
- 2) Open it in HxD and change the following SVR=03600000 to SVR=03610000
- 3) Write your changes and FTP it back to the memory card (if you reboot you will lose access to the memory card until its formatted or the system is updated)
- 4) Apply Bandaid and dump (or apply bandaid and dump with Standalone Vitamin)
- 5) When complete, FTP the id.dat back to your system and write the following changes SVR=03610000 to SVR=03600000
- 6) Write the changes and FTP it back to the memory card
- 7) Extract the VPK and open the param.sfo (found in sce_sys) in HxD and look for the version the game demands. This is not an easy task so I have supplied 2 images showing where these values are.
- -The first one (readable) should be 03.600 (30 33 2E 36 30 30) or lower
- -The second one (reversed, view hex) should be ..... (00 00 00 00 60 03)
- -Together it looks like 03.600..... (30 33 2E 36 30 30 00 00 00 00 60 03)
- 8) Write your changes to the param.sfo
- 9a) Create a folder for your game in ux0:patch and FTP your game dump's eboot.bin, sce_sys (with modified param.sfo), and sce_module folders. (also remove vitamin if it's there)
- 9b) Overwrite the param.sfo in the main game directory (ux0:app/[game]/sce_sys)
- 10) View the files in Vitashell to ensure they were changed correctly (param.sfo, id.dat)
- 11) Reboot and enter recovery mode for a database rebuild just to be sure all was done right
- 12) Play your 3.61+ game on 3.60
