reF00D is a kernel plugin that allows you to run modules such as games or system apps that require a FW different from your own. This includes thing such as 3.69 games or 3.51 apps.

Installation

Add reF00D.skprx and keys.bin to your tai folder (in either ux0 or ur0, ur0 is generally recommended).

Modify your config.txt file (which is in ux0:tai or ur0:tai). Insert a new line under *KERNEL with path leading to your plugin (if you have nonpdrm.skprx installed, add this right below it)

ur0:tai/reF00D.skprx

Make sure the name is zero instead of the letter O, capitalization does not matter.

Then go to the HENkaku Settings (located in the Settings bubble on the LiveArea) to reload the taiHEN config.txt file, or simply restart your console.

Alternatively, you can just use something like Autoplugin to install it.

Note:

For devs - The release version does not work with plugin loader and must be used in taihen config.txt.
rePatch module loading will take priority over reF00D. If a module is in the rePatch folder, it will be loaded first and reF00D will not attempt to decrypt it.

User guide

Troubleshooting

Q. I've installed this plugin but games still error with **C1-6703-6** code.

This error means that vita still couldn't run games/apps. This, in return, means reF00D plugin is not loaded, which might be caused by:

Bad TAI configuration, for example typo in reF00D line, putting it into wrong section of tai configuration.
Or using wrong tai configuration file.

Q. Even if add reF00D.skprx to config.txt, vita freezes or reboot.

The following causes are possible.

Unsupported system version. Currently supported system versions are 3.60 to 3.73.
Modules required for reF00D were not loaded. But this cause is a negligible possibility.
Insufficient system memory. Other kernel modules may be using too much system memory.
