HENKaku -- Vita Homebrew and more comes to all 3.60 Vitas

this is an option as well, you can buy the microsd adapters for $0.99.
I mean, technically they're /all/ Chinese ripoffs
I'm not doing the soldering myself, got an electrical engineer friend, but it's an option.
Think about the cheaper replacements though. These flash cards are unreliable and easy to lose.
Hello everyone, is Henkaku finally able to play PS One and PSP games? i would LOVE to play some old titles like Valkyrie Profile(which should be on the PSN store by now, it would be amazing playing this on the PS3 or PS4) and Crisis Core(this game must be amazing on the VITA screen), also is it possible to use cheats on some PS1 classics using henkaku?
PS: nvm found some answers a few pages back, going to work on installing it.

you've been able to use pspemu for ages. Not even henkaku exclusive.
oh, i mean playing those on my vita while out, for example while on campus, most of the time i get classes that are more than 1h away from each other(one ends at 8:50AM and the next starts at 10:30AM for example) so being able to play some of these games on my VITA would be awesome, thanks to PS classics i can alredy enjoy some titles i love, like Castlevania SOTN, Parasite Eve 1~2, Dino Crisis 1~2, Chrono Cross, but damn i miss playing Valkyrie Profile and Crisis Core, its so sad that we cant buy those ;/.

yeah, and I'm saying there have been pspemu exploits that have let you play those games for years.

the PCBs are based on an open source design which is what was linked. There's no "chinese knock offs" because literally anyone can commission one to be made. Whether they're a chinese business or a private citizen.
i am not that good at electronic,so which file i should give the specialist to make one for me?
or just he image file?

generally, you don't order just one. You order a sheet of a bunch. You'd have to attach the MicroSD slot yourself, regardless. Just buy one from someone else who orders if you don't know what you're doing.

I wouldn't worry about not being able to buy one in the future. Even if no one else decides to make their own to sell (which I highly doubt), the person who sold the initial batch already has plans to make at least 500 more and is considering doubling that number.
oh my bad, until henkaku came out i was not paying attention to the VITA hacking scene, when i finally learned about ARK and others my firmware was 3.57.

So, I'm a little confused. Are all the emulators the same as the PSP emulators, or are there actual native Vita ones? If they are all PSP based ones, do they take any advantage of the Vita's extra power?
NormalFish

there are native vita emulators, of course. They have not developed as much as 3DS/PSP/etc. so they're not perfect. Steady improvement, though. And some of them are perfectly serviceable.
idk what extra power a native emulator would not use.

One last question of confusion for the moment. Can you load up any PSOne games? The OP and Wolo say no, but I thought I saw a few posts back that you can actually, unless I'm misunderstanding?

Yes. Adrenaline allows PSP and PSX games.

there's also the retroarch PSX emulator
So how are people going to handle the Vita Card to SD? I have one on the way, and I am trying to get a handle on what will need to be done.
My understanding is that a patch is required for henkaku. I also saw that someone had devised a way to mount both the SD card in the game slot and the Memory card so that you could move the files between the two on the vita itself.
On one hand, I think those transfer speeds would be terrible. But would the only other option be to use a PC with Vita Content Manager?

Why use Content Manager? Why not take the memory card out of the Vita while the power is off and put the SD card in the SD card slot in your computer and copy whatever you want straight to the card from your computer?

or just connect as a USB storage device via vitashell.
The page I linked would let you order three boards minimum at 6 dollars.
In a follow-up to my previous posts, I just wanted to submit that a work-in-progress tutorial has been started at reddit.
I was surprised to learn (here and from B.K.s post above) that your pc can read the sd card after using it in the Vita. I figured that the Vita would want to format it for first use or something.

I've had henkaku for awhile and dabbled in a few emulators and Mai dumps. Currently wanting to play FFXII:ZA using remote play. How do I do that exactly with Henkaku active?
Seems I update Molecule Shell to allow for PSN spoofing? I don't want to log into my PSN just in case - any way to connect otherwise? Thanks.

Does anyone want my sd2vita adapter, it works, but I feel like I should've waited for a version with a cartridge shell covering it?
I only ask for the original ebay listing price for it, $19

I can't believe.
I just bought my second Vita. (Bought the first on day one, sold after Killzone Mercenaries was released)
I'm so excited again. While riding the subway I spotted someone playing Final Fantasy X HD and felt pretty bad with my Switch (playing Arms and hoping for new games fast).
Now I'm pumped. And I thought I could share with you guys.
But right now my question is..... I have a billion games on my back log (ps plus and old games that I bought and never finished Zero Escape Last Virtue Rewards is one of them by the way). Can I play/download from the ps store/my library without updating the console?
I'm pretty sure on the past wasn't possible. I'm asking because there's another billion psone games that are not available on Ps Store that I want to play.

Henkaku allows you to spoof your firmware and access the store and (to my knowledge at least) it is still working. I take the long way around and use my PS3 to download the titles and then transfer them over, I then make a backup on my PC using QCMA.
That said, once you enter the wonderful world of homebrew you'll be unable to play any titles requiring firmware greater than 3.60

Yeah, but as was said above the physical version will work but it requires a patch if you want voice acting, I'm not certain if the patch raises the firmware requirements on the game.
That said the Vita version of World of Final Fantasy looks terrible and has horrendous load times, I sold my copy and picked up the PS4 version.

What size memory card is in it, and how does it work? I can't afford one until next month.

It was 64GB and all you have to do is follow some guide posted on reddit
Someone already bought mine just now, so sorry if you were looking to buy it

I have The ps4 version. Guess I'll stick with that... even if I can Play only 4 hours per week at home right now.

there are people selling PCBs that have microSD slots installed, but I don't believe there anyone manufacturing them that way, if that's waht you're asking.

So, what is the point of installing molecularshell and vitashell? They seem like the same thing?
Also, it really sucks that Sony made it such a pain in the ass to replace the faceplate on Vita's. I just pulled a couple of PSP's out of my closets last week and it was super nice being able to hop online and buying a couple new faceplates and making them look great again.

Vitashell is more feature-complete, generally. Offers options that molecularshell didn't or doesn't. Molecularshell is based on vitashell.
It's not difficult to replace the faceplate of a 1k or a 2k.

Really? Everything I'm reading online is that the screen is glued in and you pretty well have to replace the screen and faceplate together? Am I misunderstanding?
NormalFish

Yes, you have to replace the screen as well, but the vita is very nicely assembled and replacing any part is very easy.

Went ahead and ordered a new screen/faceplate. Not that mine is really that bad, but I like perfection. Will replace it and hopefully find a nice glass screen protector.
Is there any way to rename icons? I wish I could do that, and tell it to hide all of the system shit icons I never want to see, instead of having to make folders to bury worthless shit.

Do these adapters work on a non-homebrewed Vita? One of the main reasons I haven't been using mine in a while is because I hate the memory cards and am afraid of mine wiping itself again (and yet, I also don't feel like dropping $70 on another card. whoda thought).
Nah, you need to have Henkaku since it's a kernel mod iirc to use.
