Hello guys!

I have a problem with a few homebrew applications like Vice City, GTA III, Return to Castle Wolfeinstein, Homebrew sorter etc. The error code what I’ve got is C2-12828-1. (I tried to fix it with MaiDumpTool but nothing.) Funny because other homebrew games and apps are works fine (Like San Andreas, Bully, Max Payne...) So I think it's not my micro sd card. Official programs are working perfectliy. I found some tips on the web what I should do, but I don't want to mess with the config file because I'm new in Vita stuffs. Someone can help me? :( (I'm on 3.60.)

RTCW will work, tested myself 3.60. You must compile the game for yourself with PC files, just read the info on source or release page.
I had not tested any GTA game. It has nothing to do with MaiDumpTool.

I tried to reinstall them, but nothing happens. Someone said I have to use MailDumpTool like this:

Try out Shadow Warrior PC PORT on your Vita. This game is complete compiled, you just have to install it. (game is for free) When you can start the game, than all is fine, when you can not start the game you are missing 'libshacccg.suprx'. This file is needed to play all PC ports. :)

BTW: not all Ports are from the PC version, Max Payne use Android system files from smartphone.

Thanks I will try. Too bad because Vice City is my favourite game, but sadly it's not running on my Vita. I have the libshacccg.suprx already because San Andreas need it. But that's an android port as I know.

Ah yeah remember now. I had the same problem for month agos.

Try GTA and Max Payne at last one. First try the easy one, like Wolf3d or Shadow Warrior.
You use SD2Vita or original Memory card ?
C2-12828-1 is a henkaku problem. There can be many problems, mostly your drive is wrong mounted. That mean your VPK is right installed, but the data files are not. 3.60 works differet to 3.65 and up. For all the PC ports you dont need update to 3.65. You can stay on 3.60 and fix it easy so often that you want. Please restart your console complete, shut it down and restart again, this can help mostly. Go into your settings and check out that your Memory is correct mounted.

Otherwise put all out, SD2Vita and your Memory card and USB, now install Shadow Warrior again only on your system store, this must work, when not than format and install henkaku again. When you have a extra original memory card you can use it for testing only. Use a original Memory card need always restart, make sure that the system files are COPY to the memory card. This will not work on 3.65.

Install first original Memory Card and after that install henkaku on them for 3.60.

RTCW - Install the vpk and copy the data files into ux0:data/
ux0:data/iortcw/main
Copy PC files , pak0.pk3, sp_pak1.pk3 and sp_pak2.pk3 and all the mp_*.pk3 files
Make sure its ux0.

Max Payne and San Andreas are working already. I have an sd2vita (32 GB). How do I know if the card mounted correctly? I've restarted of course. I don't want to install henkaku again and I don't have an original card. I hope there is another solution. I'm on 3.60.

Sounds like corruption or missing files. That error is just a general error that the game crashed. Iirc, it creates a log, why it crashed, in the data folder under psp2 core or something.

But I have all files. I've downloaded them from Youtube tutorial descriptions/ mediafire/ github and copy them with Filezilla. GTA SA, Max Payne, Bully works fine, other ports doesn't. some Homebrews also do this sometimes, like Homebrew browser.

When Max Payne works for you, than you did something wrong with RTCW, make no sense.
Post a picture of your data folder. Do not download from youtube, make sure you have the newest version of RTCW Steam or GOG.

the homebrew browser has a folder in the data folder. it's its cache. if you have issues, delete it, and restart the homebrew browser.

not sure why that would happen. it's the cache folder, and it wouldn't exist if you just started the hbb for the first time.

please open the 'iortcw' go in -> 'main' folder and make a picture, let show me your compiling for RTCW data files and nothing is missing.

what is working for you and what not ?
Bully (?)
GTASA (?)
Max Payne (you say it works, Kubridge should be correct installed)
RTCW (you say not working)

Is Quake III working for you ? Since RTCW is based in QIII engine. You had it not install.

you can delete all psp2core files, this are error messages, it gets more and more.
do you have Hen-Core ? Not sure when you have correct installed libshacccg.suprx.

Yes. Bully, GTA SA and Max Payne are working. RTCW, Vice City, GTA III and almost everything else are not. (Quake II, Doom, Sonic, Duke Nukem etc...)

Unfortunately I don't have the Quake III data files to try it.

I have these files in the RTCW main folder.

The RTCW original VITA data folder has already sp_pak3.pk3 and sp_pak4.pk3, your files size is wrong. I think you had it over copy. Dont do it, just only copy the files that are saying in the information from the author coder. Make sure you have ~2GB free space and when you start RTCW you must wait a long time.

you - sp_pak4.pk3 : 66821
me - sp_pak4.pk3 : 15.532.040 (15MB)

Compile it again :)

You can delete ui_mp_x86.dll and qagame_mp_x86.dll, this is not needed.
Quake II also not working ?

Okay, I'll try it. Yeah, Quake II not working also.

There is a new version of Vice City, but not working neither. I've got the same error message when I try to install it. :(

    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.

    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
