PKGj is a homebrew application for PlayStation Vita, released initially on October 23, 2017. Released by cuevavirus, its latest release can be downloaded here. There is also a PS3 version, named PKGi.

Installation

You would install PKGj like you would any other PSVita homebrew app. Download the file from the above link, and put it in a folder, preferably named /vpk/, in the Memory Card partition (ux0:). Using VitaShell or Molecular Shell, navigate to this folder and press X while hovering over the VPK to install it.

This app can also be found on the PS Vita Homebrew Browser.

Usage

Using PKGj, you can download 5 main types of content for the PlayStation Vita.

  • Games
  • Themes
  • Demos
  • DLC
  • PSMobile Games

Press the triangle button to open the menu which will appear at the right hand side of the screen. You can sort content by these 5 selections.

You can also download:

  • PSP games
  • PS1 games
  • PSP DLC

But unfortunately, you need a separate app to run this content. It is called Adrenaline. You need to be on 3.60 firmware in order to use it.
