All references to piracy in this subreddit should be translated to "game backups".

Post guidelines;

  1. If creating a game download thread, please include the title gameID and Dump Tool Version.

  2. Be civil.

  3. Piracy is bad, we advocate only backing up games which are already owned by you, the user.

  4. The gerenal rules of reddit apply here but are not limited to; no doxxing, no threatening violence, etc. These actions will be met with an immediate ban

  5. No selling links to game downloads. No asking people to pay for you to download and dump a game. No monetization links such as adfly or other revenue generating links. This will get you banned.

  6. Direct links to downloads located on private servers (anything but a public file host) require mod approval. This includes sites which require a login and or password.

  7. Links that require a password, have click thru links or that require a special account to access require mod approval. These would include Password ZIP files, Baidu links and linking to a secondary site that uses any of the previously mentioned features. Failure to get approval will get the links removed and you may lose posting privileges.

  8. If you ask a question that is answered in the EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW thread, it will get be deleted. Repeated infractions may result in a ban.

  9. Requests should be directed to the appropriate thread above. All low level requests (can someone dump, can I have this save) will be removed if not posted to the Megathreads.

  10. Please try to keep posts Vita related please. There's no reason to be posting about 3DS or PS4 (unless it's somehow related to the Vita).

  11. English only please.

Or an easy way to download a small APK directly from the PSV, whichever you know how to do lol

I set up the hotspot on my phone, connect the PSV to it, open VitaShell and launch the FTP server; I use Amaze file manager to set up the FTP client and correctly input the PSV FTP server's IP and port... and nothing, can't connect to it. I've also tried different FTP clients, still nothing.

It would be much easier if I could download the file directly from the PSV, but it's a VPK and I don't have that plugin to download any files regardless of extension; I also tried uploading the file, with an edited extension (.mp4), to several free file hosting sites, but because of the old browser on the PSV I usually get stuck just before I get to it

Any help?

edit: remembered something similar happened months ago, the issue was, and is, me using a VPN. If I disable it, I can connect to the FTP. I still can't move files, or see any folders on the PSV, though

I've mainly stuck to VPKs from VitaDB and haven't had any issues. For the Diablo port I did need to FTP over some files from the game, but that was via PC. I'm assuming what you're trying to transfer isn't on DB and you don't have access to a PC.

Yep, unfortunately no PC at the moment. Bit of a bummer, tried everything lol guess I need to wait for a PC, as via browser I basically can't access any websites since it's very outdated. Thanks though

Yeah, I've been trying a few keyword searches but no luck. The iTLS browser upgrade was last updated a while ago :/ I wonder if there are older mail sites that would work?

Thanks for the help! I'm actually tired of looking, spent the whole day trying to find a way to make it work haha in the end I'll just wait for a PC! Thanks again though

No worries! I honestly wanted to get it figured out. Lemme know if you need any help when you get the PC. I don't know a lot, but damned if I won't try 😊
