Jump to navigation Jump to search

When you press the PS button to open the multitasking menu, there are advertisements displayed at the bottom of the screen. With a simple modification, you can disable those advertisements. This process was found by /u/DarkBlack711 on reddit.

Disabling Advertisements

  1. Enable HENKaku.
  2. Open molecularShell/VitaShell and navigate to ur0:shell/. Delete the whats_new folder and restart your console.
  3. Once you are back at the home screen, press the PS button a couple of times until it downloads and displays the advertisements once again.
  4. Navigate to ur0:shell/whats_new/np/ with molecularShell/VitaShell and inside that folder you will see whatsnew.xml. Delete it and create a folder named whatsnew.xml.
  5. Restart your console and you can now use the multitasking menu without advertisements.
