Might as well just stop posting in this thread, then, since that's not happening.
i didn't mean hack for 3.65 Vita,i meant the ability to play 3.65 games on 3.60,but i know this will not happen also.

I knew what you meant, but this has been discussed at length on every forum thread on every forum about henkaku. You whining for it is not going to improve anything.

Yeah, I'm curious. It didn't sound too promising when they were basically looking for victims because they were bricking systems. Hopefully all those kinks have been worked out because I really don't want to have to buy another PSTV.
AFAIK, it's perfect, since it's using the official PSX emulator for PSP.
It blows my mind that a two step emulation is faster than what retroarch can do.
Not necessarily, though. I can seem to get better emulation out of Retroarch for some titles, like Tempest X3 and even Wip3out. Shame upscaling is shit slow for PS1 in Retroarch, though.

So for anyone curious, it looks like most if not all new vitas coming out of Japan are now > 3.60. Got a glacier white that came with 3.61. Fortunately i just swapped the mobo cause i mostly wanted the matte finish, but good to know for anyone who's looking for their first 2k console.
I mean DS emulation on the PC is better by emulating inside an android emulator. Not terribly uncommon.
there are a bunch of $3.99 sd2vita listings on ebay from malaysia, china, etc. now. is that all we need? is it safe to buy now or we should we continue waiting?
here's an example

it's been safe to buy.
Just keep in mind the current units do not click in to place and are difficult to remove and have open contacts. If you want to wait, I'd wait for a unit with proper housing that clicks in to place.

Fair enough. POPs is pretty fantastic.
This wasn't meant to be about whether it is common but it's a sign of quality in both the performance and speed of what Sony developed for the Vita and psp.
In both cases though psp is mips as psx was and drastic is what it is because both most Android devices and the DS are arm based.

Is there any info out there on when a better made unit will be available ? Do we know if anyone is working on it yet ?
I'm really wanting to jump in on this, to finally get rid of the multiple Vita cards and have everything all in 1 place, on a single large sd card but I don't want to get one of these cheaper made ones if a better one is coming soon.

So, I installed the new screen yesterday:
So, no more scratches. Forgetting about the scratches, I swear the colors on this one look better than the old screen. It was a little stressful getting in there with all the small cables and whatnot, but after seeing the finished product, I'm pretty damn happy I did.

Been thinking about replacing mine because the wear is starting to bug me. Did you find it pretty easy to take apart and swap?

I got mine on Amazon, the $207 dollar black one. Had a HENKaku friendly firmware and everything.

I wouldn't call it easy, but if you have taken apart things like it before, it won't be hard, either. You'll just have to take it slow. Now that I've done it once, I could do it again real quick and easy.
I couldn't find any good YouTube videos walking me through it. I eventually settled on the tested dudes video the couple of times I got stuck on my own. It's a 3G model in their video, so mine was a bit different, and easier. Just take a good picture or two once you have the shell off so you know how things go back in.
Also, be aware that there is a screw behind the camera. I got stuck there not being able to figure out why the middle board wouldn't come out. The camera just pops out, and once it is gone, you'll find the screw.
Also, be sure to get an OLED screen off eBay. There are cheaper ones out there apparently. Search for an original OEM part, and their pictures will show where it says OLED on the ribbon cable.
dunno what happened but my Vita 2000 updated to 3.63 so that shit's fucked. luckily my 1000 is still on 3.60.
it did say it downloaded the latest update tho. I unchecked the auto start update thing, deleted my notifications, what else should I do to make sure this shit is out of my system?

Can someone give me a hand, I have never modded any of my devices in 30 years of gaming... However I decided to mod my vita and here's what I have so far.
I got thr moleculershell installed, went in and hit start to enable unsafe homebrew... But that option isn't there.. So I'm assuming I need to download a home brew?
I thought henkaku was the home brew. But yea I'm just not sure at this point so hopefully someone can help me out.

use molecularshell to install Vitashell (and any other .vpk homebrew program you'd like).

Since you unchecked the auto start update you should be fine from now on. You shouldn't have left it unchecked.
Henkaku settings were moved to the official app, So in order to enable unsafe homebrew go to the official sittings app and run it,you should find henkaku sittings there where you can enable unsafe homebrew as well as spoofing your vita version to 6.35
I would recommend making sure you uncheck the option for auto downloading updates, you can find it in the sittings somewhere (not in henkaku sittings)

Does this replace your Vita memory card storage or contribute to it?

Uhhh, that's the Cobra Blackfin. Maybe the SD2VITA fits inside the case, but otherwise that's a different product, entirely for piracy.

I was using the picture as an example of the kind of quality I would like a gamecard SD adapter to have
Its literally stated in my quoted post

Anyone here set up an SD2Vita?
I tried to set it up last night and got a "The File is Corrupt" error. Was able to install the plug-in and all that but once I tried to open Molecular Shell, I got the error.

My mistake, I thought I had seen that same black fin posted in the Reddit thread and you were just posting it here too for convenience.

Either reseat the sd2vita because it could be slightly misaligned pins when inserted, or transfer molecular shell into ur0:

Think it's the latter issue. Thanks.

Ok new issue.
I get all the way through everything. Insert the adapter and boot up, run Henkaku, activity light on the game cart starts flashing. Stuck on "Starting Taihen..." as it should be. Turn off screen, turn it back on...instead of front screen it still shows Starting Taihen...wait like 5 minutes, gets me back to home screen, open Vitashell / Molecular Shell and it opens but can't see ux0

Anyone had issues with the Vita TV USB mount in games?
I tried playing Dragon Quest Builders downloaded to that and it's complaining that I don't have a memory card inserted when trying to save system data.

apparently this breaks for a few reasons but i don't know much. I've seen similar reports before, though.

WHAT FIRMWARE DO I NEED? I haven't touched my Vita for a year or so for this to happen!
Is it still 3.60 or earlier?
You need the same firmware as Henkaku which is 3.60

Anything special about enso outside of it being permanent? Not that I even have a clue what else I would want out of custom firmware.
