The PS TV can now run every single app/game without restriction (via simple hack)
- Thread starter Rich!
- Start date
Partly I think because they shipped the bundle with a DS3, and emulating touch on a ds3 is horrible. Manageable for the occasional, non-timing critical use, but otherwise bad

Just wondering and I know i'm in the minority, have there been any fixes that allowed PSX games to change screen size yet? Oddly the ps tv doesnt let you change sizes yet the vita does.

Try a new gmail account (recommended) or change for settings in gmail to allow access from less secure apps (temporarily)
Nope.

So even though we cant download blocked PS1 games from the PSN store, we should be able to copy PSP/PS1 backups eventually right??
This hack gives us write access to the system??

can anyone provide an educated guess about this?
People are already doing so in the other thread:

Write access is very restricted now in folders PSP stuff uses, but work arounds have been found and are letting people install PS1/PSP stuff, with bubbles for them.

Yes, you're basically just playing those Vita games as though they were never restricted.

It's not worth it. I tried so hard to get this going, but the slightest error and you'll totally gank your 64 gig's organization (placement, folders, backgrounds, you name it). It's one big chain reaction.
Hmmm but I guess there's a chance they could ban my account if I do? I understand nobody would know for sure.

A Gravity Rush trophy achieved on the VitaTV or the Regular Vita is the same since they are fundamentally identical consoles. There is nothing about a trophy that identifies what kind of platform it was received on (as far as i know) can anyone verify?

Bought a used Vita TV but I face the problem when moving my memory card that since the Vita TV isnt under the same account as the memory card, I cant access any of my games on the card.
Is there a way to bypass this or do I have to update, knowing that this hack will pretty much blow open emulators and etc etc in the near future?

Good choice. I picked up a copy over the weekend and I'm about four hours in. It's awesome, just like Ys always is.
Yes. Just sync normally unless it requires a firmware update. In which case either: Update and lose exploit or don't give a fuck and don't update.

Has there ever been a solution offered why this simply did not work for me? I did everything word for word that the OP said. I used my gmail account on thuderbird, mailed them to a yahoo address i had that I accessed on the PSTV....and everytime I tried it, it simply just...didn't run the games not compatible.
Has there been an explanation for why this might happen, and suggestions? please?

I tried for ages using a hotmail account. The first attachment seemed to work, but the second attachment just wouldn't. Hotmail was messing it up. I imagine Yahoo is doing the same.
Just create a temporary gmail account and set that up on your Vita TV.
Some games still don't work.So this is really method, 100% working? I plug PS TV to my TV anjoy all my VITA games?
I have VITA, so i can sell it?
Your games may start, but you may not be able to play all those games start to finish.
If you were expecting to buy/play any future releases, then you might want to hold onto your Vita.

awesome, this worked. Thank you!
Just another question, does this have to be done every time I boot my PSTV?
Edit: man, even blown up on my tv, Wipeout 2048 still looks awesome.

A sort of mini PSA. With the announcement that the PS4 3.0 firmware update comes out tomorrow, that means an update for the Vita is coming as well since the remote play protocol is changed.
So if you have anything left you need to do regarding PSN, you need to get it done today if you aren't updating your systems past 3.52.

Has it been pointed out that the guide in the OP doesn't work because it needs to add a period at the end of the email subject lines for the two whitelists?
Also, for that V2 whitelist method, I can't get the email link to show up as a link when checking the email on the PS TV. Does anyone know how to fix that?

The new account did the trick. Now all i need is a way to play psp games on this.
Yes. Why on earth did you update?!

If we aren't on the latest FW update, then how can we download from PS Store? This will render the exploit useless as it will require a Vita or PS3 =/
Is it already patched? Gotta buy another PSTV then... I guess my father updated mine for sure ;(
It wouldn't let me run Netflix, the only thing I've got to test to see if it worked.
It's hilarious how they'll patch it out but refuse to just unlock the damn think after it was abandoned.

Why do so many people think Sony is the only factor here? Licensing, rights holders....the usual roadblocks are all at play here.
Edit: Obviously, the onus is on Sony to look into these things before releasing a half-assed product like the PSTV.
The games that are blocked are done so because the user wouldn't be able to full play them since some functions and features wouldn't work. I don't think it would be a licensing issue since when you purchase any Vita game, the license authorizes you to install it on three devices, and the PSTV is included as one of those devices.
So it's safe to update if we've already done the exploit?

I Was sure there were games without mandatory touch controls which still wouldn't run on PSTV. What about PSP games? Are those all accessible on the thing? Sorry I'm on my phone at the moment.
If you download something from the store it reset your whitelist though.
Same thing for me.
Ah crap. What if I download it on my Vita and then swap the memory card into the PSTV?
