Here’s some details of a selected few of the partitions found on the Vita as a bonus.
Here’s some details of a selected few of the partitions found on the Vita as a bonus.
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#sd0|sd0]] Used if MANUFACTURING_MODE, may be available only in internal test units, may refer to a sdio device put in gc slot. (Needs confirmation on this).
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#os0|os0]] found on the NAND is where the “main” OS files are including all the kernel libraries and the most important user libraries. There’s always two copies of this for redundancy and updating will only update the inactive partition and the active flag is swapped.
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#app0|app0]] found on the NAND Temporary directory which represents current running program. Note: The app listed files is molecularshell, the app running may vary for app0..
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#os0|os0]] found on the NAND is where the “main” OS (aka CoreOS) files are including all the kernel libraries and the most important user libraries. There’s always two copies of this for redundancy and updating will only update the inactive partition and the active flag is swapped.
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#pd0|pd0]] found on the NAND is where Welcome Park, the default LiveArea music, and the intro video are found. It is also the “preinst” PUP update.
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#sa0|sa0]] found on the NAND is the “bulky” data like fonts and handwriting information. Why is it a separate partition? Because it makes update files smaller. Your “systemdata” PUP provides the update for this partition.

* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#tm0|tm0]] found on the NAND npdrm partition.
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#vs0|vs0]] found on the NAND is the rest of the OS including all the system apps, the main shell, and the remaining user libraries
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#vd0|vd0]] found on the NAND is mainly used for the system registry (settings)
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#ud0|ud0]] found on the NAND is used for updates. When you update the Vita, the update file is copied here and the system reboots.
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#ud0|ud0]] found on the NAND is used for updates. When you update the Vita, the update file is copied here and the system reboots.
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#ur0|ur0]] found on the NAND is the remaining user data that is structured similarly to the memory card (it shares almost the same directory structure). App icon layout for example is found here.

* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#ux0|ux0]] is the memory card.

* ux0 is the memory card
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#vs0|vs0]] found on the NAND is the rest of the OS including all the system apps, the main shell, and the remaining user libraries.
* gro0 is the game card
* gro0 is the game card.
* grw0 is the writable part of the game card if supported
* grw0 is the writable part of the game card if supported (for storing savedata, patches and DLC of the game).
* [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#tm0|tm0]]
* uma0 is the USB.
