Cool, thanks. Just wanted to know if I have the option.
does it only work for the vita? cause my vita tv doesn't let me access the store
nevermind works now
Same issue here.
it should work on vita tv.
all it does it creating a proxy for the vita to use so it can acess the store
yeah works now was just my network freaking i guess

Those of you who want the keep the hack but still want access to PS+, PSN and Vita games are really just better off getting a second Vita. I recognize there is cost involved, but I kept seeing people do the same during the heyday of the PSP CFW scene and my God that was a hectic mess.
Certainly wouldn't say a dumb idea, just not possible yet!

Is there a way to check if the file you're downloading is actually the 3.60 update file? I meant to update my Vita TV but I totally forgot.

Has anyone downloaded 3.61 and actually checked if it blocks the exploit?
Yifanlu said it so. I believe the man

The Henkaku page itself warns that 3.61 is not compatibile, and completely prevents you to start any process

Well that was fast, never even got PSP or the N64 dream. I'm updating, could just buy a hacked PSP if I wanted homebrew.

Sir, people is using their vitas.
Damn. Let's release the 10th in a row firmware update without anything significant but exploit fixing

Damn, I hope I'll still be able to get God Eater 2 and Berserk when they release
Meanwhile at sony
Hahah, love this.
I added three months of Plus to extend the time I have to beat some PS+ games on my Vita, but they still show 40 days left before they experie (which is what I had before extending the subscription). How do I "update" the counter?
So, you need:
A PS Vita on 3.55 or prior to play PSP ISOs. If it's on 3.18, you can play PSX games!
A PS Vita on 3.60 to use HENkaku.
A PS Vita on 3.61 (or whatever the current firmware is in the future) to access online services and PS+.
If you ask me, Sony knows exactly what they are doing. They are hell bent on moving some hardware.

Argh! I think I download 3.60 from the US site on the weekend, via the link in the OP. My Vita is Japanese!!
Any non Sony sites where this is available to download?
Also, is the update file for Vita TV different? I have a PAL Vita TV that I've not downloaded it for :-/
Honestly if people are willing to buy another vita, you're better off spending a little extra and getting a GDP XD. The emulation on that thing will always be better than vita.

So, Will I be able to use local remote play or will it force an update?
That's up to the publisher of Danganronpa in EU, you should contact them.
It's all the same firmware, you only need one download.

You will have to be on the latest firmware for remote play. Sucks!
So... the first Vita "backup" has been made, it seems.
Link removed from obvious reasons. Duh. It's an unreleased game, therefore not encrypted. It doesn't mean every game will be dumped from now on. But, hey. It's something new.
Code:
Adventure time psvita, never released game (dumped from devkit)
Install from Vitashell 0.7
trophies work, enjoy the ban

Welp
I think ill move on to GPD Win as my retro machine. Still have quite a few Vita titles i want to snag over PSN
Maybe these guys can come up with an unpatchable permanent solution (or spoof psn access) before the next game i want to play hits
Im not going to update for now. I can easily wait out the rest of the year

That's actually pretty cool.
I'm all for unreleased games.
Which Aventure Time game was it?
Apparently the guy who leaked this is saying on Twitter that he has an "unreleased" "trick" that works with every game. The fact that this game was DRM-free (aka unencrypted) doesn't mean he can't do it with encrypted games.
Yeah.
Remember that ARK guy a few days ago? And the other ARK guy even before? Yeah... not buying it without proof.

Everyone who's into the console homebrew scene already knows that updating past the FW version where an exploit was released is a bad idea. Plus on Vita it's really easy to just park on an old firmware if you don't want to move on, so it won't be that much of a problem.

I'm at work right now, so I can't give specifics, but here's a quick guide.
Requirements:
7 zip (or something similar that allows you to edit the contents of a .vpk without unpacking it)
SFO Editor (I used this one https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/sfoeditor)
What you need to do:
1. Open the vpk with 7zip.
2. There should be a EBOOT and a folder. Navigate into the folder.
3. In this folder, there should be a icon0.png and a PARAM.sfo. There may also be a background0.png and other things. The "Showcase" version of GenesisPlusGX is good for figuring out what these are, but they're not required.
4. Drag your new icon0.png into the 7zip window and click Yes to overwrite it.
5. If you want to change the name, drag the PARAM.sfo out of the 7zip folder into whatever directory you want.
6. Open SFOEditor and load that PARAM.sfo
7. Scroll down and you'll see STITLE and TITLE. STITLE is what appears under the bubble. Title is what shows up when you long press and look at the information. You can change both, but I like to leave TITLE unchanged just so that I can see what the core name is if I need it. In my image, I changed the STITLE for FCEUmm to NES.
8. After making your changes, save it.
9. Drag the edited PARAM.sfo into the 7zip window and click Yes to overwrite.
10. Transfer your edited VPK(s) to your Vita with FTP.
11. Install as usual*
*I don't know what happens if you try to install them without uninstalling the old ones. I always long tap the bubble and tap delete on the old version first. You don't need to delete the retroarch folder or saves or anything like that. I believe that will stay intact, but it wouldn't hurt to backup your saves and configuration files first if they're important to you. Just make sure you install it in the same directory you used when you installed the old versions or it will create a new retroarch folder.

What's the easiest way to update the license for PS Plus games right now? Do I have to delete and redownload with the update blocker? Or is simply accessing the store with the update blocker able to update the license?
Crap, I forgot about the PSP ISO thing before updating my PSTV from 3.55. Shouldn't that be possible with HENkaku though?
Nope, X-Com won't play for me despite me using the whitelist app.

Maybe? A ePSP kernel exploit is needed to run PSP ISOs, which HENkaku is not. I don't know if only with HENkaku we will be able to run PSP ISOs. I assume that a new ePSP exploit is needed as well.
For the time being, unfortunately, nope.
You're probably right but many have tried to do just that and been ignored so it's a lost cause. NIS America are awful.
As of now, you can still do remote play without updating. Just checked and it worked for me.

Is Henkaku worth not updating? I'm waiting for emulation to mature until it becomes excellent on the Vita.

Considering you won't be able to use the emulators that may mature over time if you update past 3.60, I'd advise against it.
