OWN RISK Description: What is Recovery Menu:
Sony did an excellent job with the PS Vita Recovery Menu.
The tools it provides will give you the ability to fix corrupt system files,
upgrade your firmware, format memory stick and much more. It is a
powerful tool and several features should be used with caution as
they can remove all your settings, as well as all of your saved information.
Most of you know that the PS3 has a recovery mode, especially
those of you that have installed a CFW, well it seems the PS Vita
also has one, here is some information and a video on it:
