CEX2DEX Half Mod v1.2

CEX2DEX Half conversion guide

##IMPORTANT NOTES##

This modification does than just changing “shell.self” for the DEX live Area
This is not a full CEX2DEX conversion. Until os0: is more understood it will not be complete.
Not all DEX utilities will work. Some do, many dont.
This is in no way safe due to the use of VitaRW. Do not use this method unless you understand it risks.
This is the first attempt. Some things may not work properly and will crash.
This requires the use of database rebuilding. Any modifications to app.db will be removed.
This can be used on PSTV and PS Vita systems. PSTV may have issues with certain apps.
