This tutorial also applies to the PlayStation TV, but we will use “Vita” from now on for brevity. You may be able to skip some of these steps if you already have homebrew set up on your device.

Required software

We have also uploaded a video tutorial to complement this guide.

Instructions
  1. Confirm your Vita’s System Software version is 3.60 by opening the Settings app and navigating to System, then System Information. If your version is below 3.60, you must update to 3.60 - and no further! - using this procedure. If your version is above 3.60, there’s unfortunately nothing you can do.
  2. Make sure your Vita can connect to the Internet and is on the same local network as your PC.
  3. Open your web browser and open go.henkaku.xyz.
  4. Run molecularShell and press the Start button.
  5. Set “Enable unsafe homebrew” to On and confirm with Cross.
  6. Fully close molecularShell (tear away the page), reopen it and press Select.
  7. On your computer, download, install and run the FileZilla FTP client.
  8. Type in the address you see displayed on your Vita (like ftp://192.168.1.249:1337) into the Host: field and hit Quickconnect.
  9. Copy the MaiDumpTool and VitaShell .vpk’s to ux0:/data.
  10. On your Vita, in molecularShell, install VitaShell and launch it.
  11. Using VitaShell, install MaiDumpTool.
  12. Plug in your STEINS;GATE 0 game cartridge if you haven’t already.
  • You can also use a digital copy if you install it on your 3.60 Vita using either a PS3 or a latest firmware Vita. See this guide for details. Note that in case you rebooted during this process, you will have to run HENkaku again (connect to the Internet and open go.henkaku.xyz in your browser).
  1. Run MaiDumpTool.
  2. Select “Extract/Decrypt content”, the *STEINS;GATE 0 option, and “Extract gamedata only (without decrypting eboot, the game won’t boot)”.
  3. Wait for MaiDumpTool to do its thing.
  4. Open VitaShell and press Select.
  5. On your computer, in FileZilla, navigate to ux0:/mai/[SG0ID]/USRDIR, where [SG0ID] is PCSE00949 for American copies of STEINS;GATE 0 and PCSB01012 for European copies.
  6. Copy the script folder to your computer. You’ll have to type this folder’s path into the patch installer later.
