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

I want to play in my oled screen...
alright, i changed it, hope it's a bit less confusing now.
if you guys didn't see it already, eurogamer covered henkaku and the reddit thread about it had like 4,000++ upvotes.
and with yifanlu stating there were 10,000+ unique users of henkaku in 12 hours, before the more mainstream sites started covering it, seems we'll have a pretty big userbase to encourage homebrew devs to work on the vita. really jealous of the 3ds scene after taking a look at it.
let's hope we'll have a full week before sony patches!

Can someone help me with loading roms onto retroarch? I don't know where to place my unzipped roms nor do I know how to even run them.

Anyone expecting PPSSPP on Vita's severely overestimating the Vita's raw power and the usefulness of it when we already have an extremely accurate PSP emulator built into the Vita, and severely underestimating the amount of time it would take to build something that wouldn't be very useful.
The most you would get out of it is the ability to run games in a buggier way with maybe slightly higher IQ (and questionable performance). It would be better to hope for a unique solution or the ability to install PSP games directly as bubbles.

You know what would be really cool? A save games manager that let's you manage your saves without the burden of the game.
even PPSSPP on android can't emulate every PSP games correctly,look at god of war games,they run like shit.
or using EU save on NA version of the same game,i have toukiden kiwami EU version because it was really cheap but it's EU version,also i have it too as Digital version on my NA account.

Running 4:3 games (ie PS1) on the OLED screen also leads to faster burn in. I have a dedicated PSP Go for PS1/PSP games.
If this means being able to use other peoples saves and/or not having to backup with 2-3 gig game files: Good lord, yes.

Place the roms in data/retroarch. To run them, when you load up Retroarch select "Load Content," then navigate to the data/retroarch directory and select a rom.

I never understood why people were deadset on trying to hack it , just to play psp games on the vita, emulator's upscale & have better performance,with better screens on pc+mobile. I get portability/an all in one package, but mobiles&tablets have mounts for controllers etc. with better graphics+fps+translation patches etc.... It just wasn't worth the trade off of no ps store+ps plus benefits.
Also, what's the best website to follow just for vita homebrew?

Yeah that's what I'm using , but for the past year they've had more clickbaity articles(some with very poor writing) so I wanted to avoid them if possible.

http://wololo.net/ probably? there used to be quite a few psp hacks sites with homebrew downloads but I don't know if there's a Vita equivalent yet

As someone who prefers running all emulators at 4:3, is there really a high risk of burn-in/damaging the screen? And approximately how long does it normally take before (noticeable) damage is done? Are we talking years, months, or days?
Yeah this works pretty great. I still get sound issues on sonic 3 special stages but the main level music is fine. Turned that bilinear filter off real quick though.

They're all like that unfortunately. Lot of clickbait, lot of badly written articles, lot of pointless scene drama being stirred up, etc. It's not as bad as the PS3 hacking sites were at least (which is a really low goddamn bar).

I just picked up a cheap Vita and it is on FW 3.15. Is there any advantage to leaving it on the older firmware for homebrew? Or should I just use the new Henkaku exploit on 3.60?
do you know a link to list_launch_emu.dat?
i just don't understand why game saves can't remain when you delete the game. i didn't even know the game saves got deleted until i had already deleted my 5th or 6th game to save room on the memory card.
that's pretty much my only complaint about the vita

I didn't have to reboot. Just kept hitting ok on the error prompt and ok on the welcome alert prompt since the process seems to repeat itself over and over until it worked.

I just used the same files from the old email hack.
Go to this site: http://wololo.net/talk/pstv_whitelist/
Enter an email address you can check, and you'll receive 3 emails. They may end up in your spam/junk folder as they did for me. These are meant for the old email based whitelist hack so ignore the instructions. Then check your email for the 3 messages with the following subjects:
Activate PSTV Writer - You can safely delete this, it doesn't work anymore.
ur0:game/launch/list_launch_vita.dat‏ - This email has an attachment named #0. Save it and rename it to list_launch_vita.dat
ur0:game/launch/list_launch_emu.dat‏ - It too will have an attachment named #0. Save it and rename it to list_launch_emu.dat‏
You now have the files you need. You can use these to replace the ones on the PSTV in the ur0:game/launch folder. Once done, this should remove the whitelist block on Vita, PSP, and PS1 games. I've read that some Vita games have additional checks, but I haven't run into one of those yet.

That did seem really fake though that one guy on Twitter who claimed he got banned. I mean, he said that he reinstalled official firmware (is this even possible concidering that Henkaku isnt even custom firmware?), and then formated it five times. Why format five times? And if he got banned, his account would be banned, so formating the system wouldnt do anything. I guess there would be a small chance that he could have created a new PSN account, but yeah, seems really fake.

I'm so glad I kept my vita all these years, hopefully we can see a native level n64 emulator as some point.

Is anyone else getting audio issues with the Realboy GB/GBC emulator? I tried Pokemon Red and Super Mario Land and their audio was noticeably off-key.
Is there perhaps a better GB/GBC emulator available?

Amazing.
And for this reason, I'm never updating ever again.

Dumb this down a bit.
You FTP into the system, copy those four files. Delete the one file. Reformat the system, login with the other account, put the other files back and you should able to use both's download lists/saves/etc.?
I was on the fence about the whole thing up until now. I have so many PS+ games and other digital Vita games on my US account that this is a no brainer, it's time to ignore all future software updates.

Pretty much. Copy the files, log in with a diff account, copy those files.
You now have those 2 sets of files to swap between so you can use multiple accounts without losing your data (after the first SYSTEM, not memcard format to get acc.dat).
Also, a redditor is working on a VPK that'll do it automatically.
So, just so I'm understanding: This doesn't allow you to access the games on the different account WITHOUT replacing the initial files back to the account that owns it?

Basically, if you want to play the other acc games, you just have to swap the acc.dat via FTP and reset the Vita. It'll be easier if and when that guy finishes his assumedly more user-friendly app

According to wololo's article, the likelihood of a ban is more than alarming.
I'd recommend going through with this.

the only person who claims to be banned also has zero picture proof and claims he removed his console ban by reinstalling firmware.

I know, but for people like me who had their PSN account with like 100s of PS Plus games on it as well as many paid games, I'd recommend making a dupe account and perhaps switching back if Sony shows no interest in banning people.
You could just play offline whenever you're messing with homebrew stuff. As soon as they release an update to block this hack you'll have to play offline anyway.

Or you could just play offline with the main account forever. There's nothing stopping you from doing that.
Then it's pointless to me. If I can't use DoAXBV3 on my US account by spoofing it over onto the card with a Japanese account, there's no point for me.
