 ====== PlayStation Vita ======
+{{wst>see_hardware_page}}
-===== Introduction =====
+todo: rewrite, add info on what to do with the data that is stripped by PSVStrip, and mention that its probably best to dump all carts both with PSVGameSD and NoNpDrm.

+===== Introduction =====
-The PlayStation Vita is a powerful dumping machine for Vita carts, but it might take a few tries for someone setting up their homebrew-enabled console the first time to be able to get the tools working. This page is a work in progress, and will soon include more step-by-step instructions on how to set up a "standardized" PlayStation Vita for dumping purposes.

 ==== Method 2 - NoNpDrm Method ====
-This method extracts the encrypted game files from the Game Card as they are and generates a fake license in order to make them usable. This is not a perfect dump from the game cartridges, but will still keep all the original game related files inside the game cartridge without being modified or patched, and it preserves games with the "grw0" partition until the issue is solved with PSVgameSD or another tool.
