auto h-encore

A C# (.NET) application to automate (most of) the process of getting h-encore running on your PS Vita system!

This application is WINDOWS ONLY.

Features

This application does everything short of installing QCMA/integrating libVitaMTP. That means:

• Gets AID and QCMA directory from QCMA automatically.
• Automatically downloads required tools (psvimgtools, pkg2zip, bittersmile demo and h-encore itself)
• Allows user to import necessary files if they've already downloaded them (optional)
• Grabs CMA encryption key from your account ID
• Unpackages bittersmile and repackages it with your encryption key and h-encore
• Trims excess bittersmile demo files to reduce h-encore filesize from ~240MB to ~17MB (optional)
• Moves finished files to your QCMA directory for copying to your PS Vita

This application does not:

• Send h-encore to your PS Vita

Basically, you still need QCMA.

Usage

The average user should probably follow vita.hacks.guide, which includes the process of using this application. Otherwise:

The application has been verified working on 1000 and 2000 series Vita's as well as PSTV.

Requires .NET 4.5.2 or higher (Windows should automatically download it or link you to it if you don't have it)

Download and extract the latest release and run it. Further instructions are included in the application itself. QCMA is required to get your AID and transfer h-encore to your Vita.

If the application crashes or h-encore fails to install, please submit an issue, do not create an issue on the h-encore Github, it probably isn't their fault.

Build

Clone the repository and open the solution in Visual Studio. Build from there.
