In terms of piracy, 3.61 is probably fairly trivial. That patch came quickly and is likely just there to stop HENkaku from working. Just like with PS3 games requirng 3.56 and 3.60, it was possibe to get those games working on 3.55. Maybe we'll see one for Vita as well when PS4 4.00 hits.Well, it seems you're in luck and got your wish granted. HENkaku has been already patched with OFW 3.61, two weeks ago. The Vita is saved.
Also, news!
TheFloW will release an OFFICIAL version of Vitamin today

Damn shame but never say never
Im golden but my buddy updated and hes kind of bummed about missing the boat on this
Right now the farthest they've gotten is that it's possible to transfer PSP/PS1 games that you already own (as you should) to the Vita, that were formerly untransferable (so namely the crash/spyro PS1 games, stuff like that).
You already own on PSN.
I'm more interested in transferring stuff that never had a PSN release.
From what you're saying, what I understand is that you have two accounts, from two different regions, right? If that's right... well, I guess that you can use Vitamin to dump the games from one account and install them in the other one. Just wait until TheFloW releases his stable version later today. It includes several features not included in the leaked release:
Yea I want to have a few games on my JP PSN account be usable without having to go through the hassle of resetting the system. Great, I guess I'll give it a shot then.

Matter of time.
Sooner I can play ghost in the shell ps1 on my vita the sooner I can die
i am trying to install VHBL using henkaku
i have pool hall pro game
what should i do? i don't want to use the email trick.
i backed up my game using QCMA and transferred PBOOT.PBP to the game folder,then backed it up again and restore the save file VHBL01234.
but the image of pool hall pro didn't change,only the name.

Dropping in to say how fucking happy I am that I'm downloading God Eater 2: Rage Burst while having Henkaku. Thanks to the devs for figuring it out so quickly.
im really conflicted right now... if i already have a psp for emu, which is all id use my vita for... is it even worth staying on Henkaku if i dont care about Homebrew? I really dont want to get my shit banned for being stupid (And ill probably do something stupid)
If i just update the Vita to 3.61 ... it should wipe Henkaku off right? or do i need to manually remove anything?

man, if i can dump my Crisis Core, maybe i wont get rid of henkaku... my psp doesnt have a battery so id need to search for one before getting that thing mobile again.
I want CC and KHBBS on my vita so badly. I own the umds.

Sure, that is what i mean. Basically, theres no intensive to update the firmware if its possible to play any game on 3.60. Well, there's online multiplayer, but most Vita games are single player games.
While i wouldnt hold my breath for a solution above 3.60, WebKit probably has several of other vulnerabilities in it.
Did they remove the IP block?

At least he admit that they did it for piracy reason. And the "if we hadnt done it, someone else would have" reason is also a bit strange in my opinion, its not like that changes things one way or another, but it might be true that someone else might have done it instead. And that Sony doesnt make Vita games doesnt indicate if its dead or not. As long as games being made, thats what matters.
But i agree that it probably wont have that much effect on sales. Maybe some people will change their habbits, but overall i dont think it will have much of an affect to be honest.

I'm not sure if it's I've just grown out of it or memory card conservation, but I just don't have any desire to pirate. Admittingly, I did alot of it back in the later life of the PSP (though I always ended up buying the games I liked anyway ) but now I would rather show support and buy the games - especially when localization is such a gamble.
I just hope the community shows some type of responsibility.

If piracy is what forces Sony to push updates on people for newer games, I guess I'll have to leave HENKaku.
I'm loving having a portable Neo Geo (with the Humble Bundle games) on the go, but I also want to support new releases.

I don't really get pirating Vita games.
Like I can see if you're young and poor maybe full priced games are just inaccessible.
But Vita games even 6 months after release tend to have extremely deep discounts on the PS Store. You could build a large library of games on a shoestring budget by focusing on sales.
Does the Vitamin software fall under this rule?
It took me many tries, but it eventually worked for me.
Try removing Vita USB driver from your installed drivers menu (Sorry, can't remember how it is called in the english control panel), reboot the PC and then do one step at time.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Discussion of Vitamin is okay, discussion of how to run / install games created with Vitamin or where to obtain them from others is not.

What's the plugin for?
It can change the processor speed in games that are not actually designed to use the 444 MHz mode
Ostensibly, new plugins could be developed, like in the PSP days, since the Vitamin source code is open source.
Edit: Wait a bit before using Vitamin! There's a small bug TheFloW is working on fixing at the moment.

Ok, I just read the txt file.
Any list of games that are enhanced by this?
Well shit lol. Just when i got it to work.

We'll see if any publisher make any comment on it. But even so, natural decline is possible, every game is an unique case after all. I cant really see it having a big effect.
Not speaking for myself here, but one reason is that free trumps cost. Basically "why pay when i can get it for free". It doesnt require 6 months waiting for a sale either.

I think the games that'll get hit the most by piracy are the English Asian versions of Japanese games that release on Vita and PS4, because of how expensive they are to import, the hassle of having a separate Asian PSN if you want the DLC, and the need to buy Asian PSN cards if you want to go digital on those titles. Obviously, most of the PS4 versions are going to be better, but stuff like SRPGs would be roughly equivalent.

So I don't want to get my account banned, can I use this on my pstv with another account and use my regular vita for my trophies and stuff?
You can use it to access PSN without having to update.
If you don't want to contact Sony's servers at all, then just don't access PSN.
Vitamin officially released! The Flow seems like a good dude, what a shitty situation.
I wasn't interested in the release at all... but now I see this overclocking stuff!!!! Super cool!
Will wait until people get around to testing what games really get a good stable boost from it, but seems awesome!

But how would I get my games downloaded if I can't access PSN? I figured that was impossible without connecting and risking my account
how to emulators run, figure it might be better than my wii I've been using

Dear Lord, that analogy in Vitamin README. NSFW people, NSFW.
Use a PS3 if you want to avoid calling the PSN servers
Otherwise just use PSN through Henkaku. I doubt Sony would go as far as to ban your account

How do you update to the latest VitaShell? Do you run the vpk like any other?

If you intend to just use the henkaku version, just running the henkaku installer is sufficient.

Apparently Vitamin depends on an even newer one ATM.
i guess my biggest fear is getting banned for getting trophies (even though its with games i own and dumped) I do actually use my vita regularly with PS+ freebies and such too... so i just dont know how viable it is to keep henkaku... especially if it bans my PSN ID which is my main on PS4 and PS3 as well. im really thinking i may just eat the cost of a new PSP battery... so i have at least something to play SNES/PS1/PSP games on... ugh... Vita snes is awesome though...
