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

Using one of the old exploits, when the only thing that could be accessed was the PSP sandbox.
Someone has been reverse-engineering HENkaku and Wololo posted an article about it.
It goes way over my head, but I guess it's an important step towards a more permanent solution. But at the same time, it helps Sony patch it sooner... although that would mean that Team Molecule would release the source code sooner as well.
Cat and mouse, eh?

Is the sound and some games like Super Mario World 2 supposed to run like ass on the Snes vita emulator?

Have you tried the RetroArch emulators that were just released? The SNES emulator runs much better than the one in the "Showcase".

No but I'll try it. Thanks man.
Never mind I got it. Apparently Final burn alpha roms are unique and are specific to its system.
Can't you just update, install HENkaku, and use that to install VHBL and run the older homebrew using an installed PSP game?
I haven't done it, but I'm interested in it and I've read it's possible. Mainly it'd be for gba emulation which I think works better for now in PSP mode, right? And maybe some more emulation which is green yet in native vita version.
But i think you can with VHBL,right?

I dont think that Team Molecule and Yifan went with this temporary solution out of choice, but rather that it was the only entry point that they could find. There are many smart people out there, but if they couldnt find an entry point for a permanent solution, i'm not sure that many other will. PS3 is also hacked to bits, but no one has yet found an entry point for CFW on firmware 3.60 and above.
Nope. VHBL is only for homebrew. It never ran PSP ISOs.
I honestly don't mind having to reinstall the hack every time I turn off my Vita. All I'm saying is that a proper CFW would be great. Yifan said that Molecule will be working on something like that, but it would take time. I guess they released it in this state because getting to a permanent solution would have taken a lot more time... if it even paid off. But at least now the work can be "crowdsourced", so to speak.
ok,
1- what about PS1 games?
2- can i install TNV using VHBL?
3- can i install TNV on Vita TV that have 3.20 FW on it,then put the memory card on PS Vita that have 3.60?

Not possible to play PSP fan translations on this, right?

No to everything. The ePSP exploit is patched in 3.60... Until someone finds another one.
As stated in the OP, no PSP backups with HENkaku yet.

1. no
2. no
3. no
Finally had the free time to set up some emulators last night. For some reason CATSFC one doesn't read my SMRPG save file so I didn't get to test that much, but more basic games like Fire Emblem 4 seemed perfect. The Genesis core is phenomenal. Snatcher was running flawlessly for the bit that I played of it - I remember trying it on N3DS months ago and it was a bit choppy during the intro. Not sure whether it's the Vita making it run better or the emulator being more up to date, but I'm extremely happy with it so far.
Really excited to see a few others get ported over. Hoping that Gambatte gets fixed soon and that mGBA continues to see more speed improvements.

Sure, i'm just saying that i think they went with this solution because it is the "only" thing that they could come up with. Did he say that a permanent solution is possible or that they're just working on it (as in seeing if its possible)?
Well, he said offline support is technically possible, but would take some time to develop. If it can't be truly permanent (like A9HL on 3DS), at least it can be much quicker to set up, like most CFWs on PSP.
Uhh were we watching te same video? There is very visible stuttering across all of the mentioned emulators. I mean it could be due to other things but usually that's the result of dropped frames.

Right?
Still cant believe they released the game in that state given how quickly hackers were able to fix it

This is all I want out of this, full access to PSP games. Don't give a shit about Vita backups or emulators, but there are so many great PSP games.

Is PS Nova only adhoc MP?
Ah thanks. I found out that you need a neogeo.zip file in the folder with the rom. I got Metal Slug 2 working!

Do the Retroarch cores support frame skipping? Super Mario RPG just seems to slow down during a few more graphically intensive parts - surprisingly smooth elsewhere.
Hoping they add in an option to touch the screen to pull up the menu. The built in button combos are so clunky on the Vita.

yup, I'm in the same boat, lol

I'm not interested in undub (seriously guys? Golden dub is excellent) but swapping intro movie to rick roll is certainly a good idea

I'm glad we're all here for PSP/PS1 stuff.
Hopefully it pans out.

Sony's propietary emulator? Probably not.
PPSSPP or similar? Maybe, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Yep. Emulators are great, but I need that FFT without the slowdown...

I like Golden song, even if it's too lighthearted and less misterious than the theme song in previous games. But they could switch the intro movie to the one in the PS2 game or something.

So I downloaded the latest retroarch build, and I'm still confused as to whether or not you can change the menu shortcut to a custom one.
Currently the best one seems to be L1+R1+Select+Start, however, plenty of games us this same exact input (especially on SNES) to reset back to the title screen.
You can see how this would then be an issue. Anytime I wish to use the emulator menu, I also reset my game back to the title screen. :\
Does anyone know how to properly customize this?

Is there a site that keeps the install files for the various Vita firmware a available for download? I'm hoping to order my Vita tonight and want to make sure I can upgrade to 3.6 and no higher for when it does arrive. Don't want to be blocked out from using this hack at the latest firmware possible.
Here's to hoping for PS1 and PSP all title support, the former especially so NA users have a permanent solution for playing Spyro and Crash Bandicoot PS1 titles!

a 3.60 vita could get pretty expensive if sony is able to re-secure their system
it will be the only way to play undubs/whatever fan translations comes out
I own a Vita with 3.18 with both TN-V (for PSP emulation) and TN-X (native PS1 emulation), so I'm not yet ready to update to 3.60 firmware since none of these features are supported by it yet. Although it looks like it will be easy to update to the FW required by this exploit even after Sony patches it in future: http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=23013
Sony's official website has the download to update manually. It's in the OP.

Not on my end, there isn't. Sounds like there's something going on with your PC or whichever device you use to watch YouTube videos.

Someone managed to boot ARK through HENkaku.
How come nobody reported this!? Don't let me down, HENkakuGAF

He states that PSP ISOs boot 5% of the time, other 95% it crashes ARK.

So, are we expecting a permanent hack or at least a fast recovery tool like on the PSP at some point or is that not even in the cards?
Yep. That's why I never said the word "backup" in my post
What's important is that he used HENkaku to install a VPK that enables privilege scalation. That is potentially very useful not just for PSP ISOs, but also for other type of unsigned code.
As it has been stated before (three posts above yours, actually), Team Molecule will be looking into an offline installer. But it will take time. It's not like it's a huge pain in the ass to set up HENkaku via the web exploit, though.
Edit: He's saying that he'll upload the files when he's done testing.
