 This method involves creating a dump of the cart after the block-level encryption has been "removed" and unique data stripped from the file. It also involves creating a generic (aka "fake") licence file for the cart.
-Technical Note: There are some game cards that have a writeable partition called "grw0". PSVGameSD can probably dump that partition fine (todo: confirm this), but it cannot mount dumps with that partition, so the only way to play these dumps is to convert them to NoNpDrm format first (todo: confirm this works). Also each time a cart is used, the partition data and therefore the dump will be different. PSVStrip does not have support for stripping/emptying this partition.

 Copy this file from the Vita to the PC. Rename it to match your psv file, but with a ".rif" extension.
