Works on Vita Firmwares from 3.60 - 3.74

Prerequisites

  • On your PC Download the latest ARK-4 version: here

Setup & Install

  1. Download and install NoPspEmuDrm by SilicaAndPina (you can use AutoPlugin2).

  2. Copy FasterARK.vpk from PSVita/ folder located in the ARK4.zip file anywhere on your vita and install using VitaShell.

  3. Open FasterARK and wait for the install process to finish.

  4. Both ARK and ARK-X bubbles will appear in Live Area.

  5. Use the ARK bubble for PSP games and homebrew. It can play PS1 but with limitations related to sound playback.

  6. Use the ARK-X bubble for PS1 games without any sound issues.

  7. Once ARK bubbles are installed, you can delete FasterARK.

  8. The native Vita plugin ArkRightAnalog will also be installed to allow using the second analog stick.

  9. To exit from a game or homebrew back to the custom launcher, press L+R+Down+Start (L2+R2+Down+Start on ARK-X).

NOTE: Some features are not available in standalone installations, mainly the official Sony `XMB` and `Force Extra RAM` setting.
