Games are rippable but it's a hassle. You need to be on firmware 3.52 or lower in order to use the needed exploits in the Email app, and the exploit itself is not straightforward or really easy, but it basically gives us read/write access to most of the system but only for flies under 15MB (because the files are sent as attachments).
Basically to dump Vita games you need to modify one of the system databases by retrieving it through the email exploit, then changing an entry for a psp/ps1 game so when you select it to be backed up via CMA (the Vita transfer app) it dumps the whole memory card instead. There's also another step in-between if you want the dumped files to be decrypted but I think you get the gist of it.
And you decided to start the thread by posting the untouched music rip from a game I always fought to find. Awesome!
Oh, and by the way, I don't have a nus3bank.bms script. I tried to get the script after some googling, but it didn't work because it went offline. Can anyone point me where it is?
@AnonRunzes, finding nus3bank.bms is the easy part. It's linked to in the first google result I see(a GBAtemp thread). Now, finding a working link to the atrac9 decoder is another thing.
EDIT: Found it. Just gotta know what to search for: "at9tool".
Damn, my firmware is far too updated. I'd wanna do a dump of Valhalla Knights 3's audio files, though it would suck if it turns out to be a big sound archive.
I have firmware 3.35... not sure how to approach the exploit for further help in rips.
Only games I have atm are Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Persona 4 Golden, Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3, and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.
most of the work are going to be in app.db 1- add a value in table tbl_uri like the following NPXS10000;1;ux0; 2- modify NPXS10000 eboot.bin path in tbl_appinfo to vs0:app/NPXS10027/eboot.bin 3- overwrite the modified app.db using email app and reboot 4- now use the browser to call the new uri with your target game . example : ux0:app/PCSA00017 apparently near app will open the game manual. 5- minimize near then dump the game using the psp pboot trick using CMA (while the near app still open)
Mind giving an actual link? Searching nusbank.bms gives nothing but dead links, searching gbatemp for nusbank gives zero links that contain a link to nusbank.bms...
EDIT : at9tool is easy mode. EDIT : To avoid hypocrisy, http://hackinformer.com/forum/post-1781.html

@hoodlum47 I actually did dump Soul Sacrifice Delta. Here's the download: http://s15.zetaboards.com/Amicitia/topic/8332513/1/#new Not sure if that was you who requested it, since that post was from a week earlier, but here you go lol
Also, the Katamari download in the OP seems to be down so here's a new one: http://s15.zetaboards.com/Amicitia/topic/8324906/1
Hey, um... I know it's a long shot, since there doesn't seem to be any interest in Vita ripping, but I'll ask anyways.
I just barely beat Persona 4 Golden. All of the music in the game is available online... except, it seems, for one track -- the awesome superboss theme.
If there's anybody out there that could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
I'll check my local gaming shop (or gamestop) to see if they have it, or else I might see If I can meet anyone up to let me borrow the game real quick.
