Well then, two questions:
1. If I buy a new Vita for this, will I be able to get it to FW 3.60?
2. What level of emulators could this be expected to run?

Hhahah same. Until I can play PC Engine discs on my Vita, even the PSP never toppled the OG Xbox scene. Still so good.
Super excited to perhaps get some old arcade games yet unported running on this!

1. yes
2. n64 levels, the vita hardware is basically a lower end android phone
enter whatever. just make sure you're in a folder before opening the FTP server

Anyone from the UK installed this? I don't understand why it says 23 hours for me, when it seems to be up in the rest of the world

It took me about 20 tries and three reboots to overcome this, but it just worked. I was about to try a database rebuild.

power your vita down by holding the power button down until it shuts off. that works for me

God it's been a while since I've done anything like this since Wii. Do I just connect it to the FTP and just dump the roms and emulators in or do I need to put them in specific folders.
I had the same error. After you click install it changes the url go.henkaku. Letting the site load again always resulted in the same error for me.
Going back to https://henkaku.xyz and clicking install instead worked. Maybe takes a few tries.

I need an advise from gaffers. My vita tv has an old firmware with the email hack that lets me play all ps vita games on tv. Is it worth the upgrade to 3.60 ?
Also. Is it possible go download the 3.60 and update it manually to a vita later in case song blocked this with a future firmware ?

I'm guessing I am going to need a 64GB memory card and fast, and load it with all the games I want. Or is there a way to get into the download list with an outdated firmware?
I also hope their piracy prevention is effective, I'm worried about the future of the Vita, the indies may also stop making games for it if piracy grows too much

No. Sony didn't ban anyone for PSP exploits.

Why only for indies? It would suck for everyone. A loss is a loss
Sales have to be decent enough considering the amount of games still being released. Piracy would suck ESPECIALLY for games that don't sell big amounts in the first place.

You can usually bypass and still get access to PSN on one firmware below the latest.
Otherwise you can download and transfer most Vita content through a PS3.
Those are, to my knowledge, the only options for a Vita not on the latest firmware.

I'm going to try this on my PSTV for now as I don't want to lose PSN access on my Vita.
Considering the best handheld console for emulation right now is n3DS, this should be a step up.

I ejected my game cart and it worked immediately after that.

Quoting for helpful advice!Hi gaf, make sure you disable automatic downloading of update files under settings > system > settings for automatic start
mGBA is .velf, which doesn't install, so it isn't working. Not sure if there is a .vpk file on the webpage? The Showcase links directly to that page, and I just chose the Vita Homebrew download.
I tried Vita Doom which installed but I have no Doom WADs so I couldn't play.
I'm outta time now but I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what I'm missing.

Have never tried emulation Before, but from what I understand you could get games like
NES
SNES
N64
GB
GBC
GBA
DS
PSP
PSV?
If so, how complete libraries, is there any Place where you can see which potential games they could emulate? Might try this after a month or so
Still plenty of PSV games I want to purchase, If I do this I guess i cant purchase any new PSV games hmm

I'm going to sound like a guy with a fixation as I already mentioned it for NX, but you know what would be awesome? Having a Vita version of Moonlight to run Nvidia's PC gamestreaming, essentially having PC remote play on Vita.

So right now only GenesisPlus is available as vpk, correct? Just tried it and it's neat, hopefully Retroarch and a lot of other emulators will soon be released as vpks

Guess I'll try setting this up on my pstv later but I don't know how much use I'll get out of it since my internal memory card in the device is really tiny.

It does not work with internal memory of the PSTV or Vita 2000. You must have a memory card.
Cool, time to transfer all my Vita games to PC in case that Sony fixes the exploit in future firmwares.

Thank you lord!!!!
I don't really play games on the Vita so when I say publishers I think more about Ubisoft etc. 😄
Of course it sucks for everyone.

Yeah for EA and Ubi it won't matter, they don't make games for it anyway
The smaller guys like NISA would be hurt by it though.Oh, that's a great idea. I need this!
You can download from PlayStation webpage 3.60 firmware and install the package offline at a later date. As long as you can download the firmware in a computer or something like that you shouldn't have any problem.

Well, still doesn't work for me, try everyone of your suggestions, I think I'll wait for a v1.0.1 or something like that.
Thanks anyway guys.
Thanks anyway guys.
Who turns their Vita off?
Is this easily uninstallable? It can't hurt to try this while 3.6 is still the most recent firmware, but since my Vita library is 90% digital being able to use some emulators wouldn't make up for not being able to access the PS Store once an update hits.
Edit: Oh, this is not a permanent hack :3
