If you want to buy something just for support, you can still do so. Just go to the webstore.

HENKaku -- Vita Homebrew and more comes to all 3.60 Vitas
- Thread starter Chesskid1
- Start date
And people thought me Crazy for having 5 Vitas, if that Saga model happens I'll have another.
Been using my OG fatty to play whatever ps1/p games they let through the store but now I'm on Henkaku eagerly awaiting when I can play PSP2 and some of the PS1/P games only on the US store. Also screw Sony for locking you to one account per system.

It's still pretty crazy,lol
you can use an Vitashell to switch account on 1 vita,but you need a certain file from another account to inject it on your vita,so every now and then you can copy that file that contain your other account to main location in memory to use it.
it's annoying process,i hope someone make a homebrew to simplify the process by just choosing "profile 1" and "profile 2".
Right now I can just login in PSN, buy whatever game I want, download it legally and play it without worrying. Great.
If they start releasing games that don't work on 3.60 and lock the device out of PSN, you may see people saying whatever and start pirating games.
Hopefully WoFF doesn't. I would love to play that game on my Vita. I'm not holding my breath though.
He may not want to buy something that he won't be able to play, even if he is buying the game more to support the franchise or system in question. I bet he still wants to get some enjoyment out of the game even if he isn't THAT interested in Dragon Quest meets Minecraft.
If we're hoping for stuff then I'm hoping for sd card support. A nice, 256gb, still cheaper than the psv ones, would hold nearly all of my bought games and then another for my PS1/P games.
it appears that Darkest Dungeon requires 3.61 to play (i think the game is up in EU store?)
there is 256GB microSD card but it's $200.

Thats true. Just saying that if the main motivator for the purchase is to show support (as in that you have very little interest in playing the game), such thing is still possible even without having the latest firmware installed. Dragon Quest Builders is also on PS4, so he can just get that as well if he wants to play it.

The pre order is up yes.
Price per gb is still cheaper than the PSV cards.

I'd pay that much for my Vita. 64GB is depressingly small at this point.

Ugh, this sucks. Gonna be a minute before I grab another Vita.
That's a sale lost, for now.

For PS TVs, trying to enable USB storage seems like a better idea. We know the things can read off of flash drives, so there's less of a tech hurdle than trying to enable SD card support, plus you can get plenty of large storage options pretty cheaply.

I installed Hexen II from vpkmirror but when I start the game nothing happens.
I have Vita TV.
Someone else had this issue ?

Is it possible to play 3.61 games with henkaku?it appears that Darkest Dungeon requires 3.61 to play (i think the game is up in EU store?)

IIRC the vpk is just the executable, you need to put the game content too, it's the same for quake and doom IIRC, i only tried doom and it worked, i don't have enugh space for hexen 2(that was one of my favorite games).
Nope, and dont expect to.
right now,no,maybe with CFW or level 0 hack.
i don't think the Vita is fully hacked,maybe partial hacked.
why not?
when CFW release it will be possible,or someone can hack the game file it self to make it run on 3.60 instead of 3.61.
Yeah i should have said not anytime soon. My bad.
Since when i installed henkaku i have never accessed the store for precaution, but i was able to syncronize my trophies that need psn access, why trophies yes and games not?

Same.. got a black screen and eventually the homescreen
That's why i said level 0 access,games require more privilege from the system,the flow said that.
If we were able to access that,dumping games will be easier,and change the level of any game you have,and maybe change expire date for plus games.
also the ability to use plugins on the legit games without dumping them.

How come you need a second vita? Doesn't henkaku still allow PSN and store access?
Melkezadek
Member
Because it seems like they're making it so that new games require the 3.61 update to play. Sucks.

Same, will buy a 2nd PS TV to keep at 3.60. I don't play portables that much tbh.

Hey guys,
I know next to nothing about HENKaku, PSN and etc so this may be a really basic question. What safeguards can be taken to remove a PSN account from a Vita? I don't have any sense of what is and isn't safe. I'm also not sure what the effects are of removing a PSN account from the Vita.. can you still play savegames? Is doing this overkill? I've seen people in this thread mention that nobody really knows if there would be consequences but just wanted to get a feel for how others are safeguarding.
Also, I'm on 3.60 but my Vita has downloaded 3.61 and is prompting me to update. Am I safe to move forward?
Thanks!

no one has been banned yet. But who knows how Sony will deal with it in future. If you update to 3.61 than you won't be able to use Henkku. You can disable auto firmware update in settings (google it if you can't find it).

I did do that.. after it downloaded. Haven't applied though. I guess there's no harm in trying.. besides getting banned! Fortunately I don't play too many PSN games these days and plan to let my PS+ expire.

You are right, it was late night and little tired, I completely forgot I have to put the "wad" like files ^_^'
That's wonderful if true. Hopefully it'll allow for PSP up-clocking as well to eliminate slowdown. Too many games ran like shit on the OG PSP. I'm looking at you, Outrun C2C and Burnout Legends.
Edit: This is promising too, but that really only covers PS1 emulation. Which, while still great, isn't PSP.

I wonder if there will be cheap Vita for Black Friday. I wonder if it's actually worth buying another Vita. I have no interest in WoFF or DQB.
I just hope S;G0 isn't 3.61, otherwise I'll have to buy it for PS4 instead and I would rather have it be portable.

I just got Digimon Cyber Sleuth in the last flash sale. Does anyone know if there is any way to download it or otherwise transfer it onto my Vita without updating?
You can enter PlayStation store with henkaku

Thank you for the answer.
I haven't actually used Henkaku at all, is there any way to access the store without updating or using it? I turned off the automatic update setting long before 3.61 came out, I'm basically just trying to see how long I can stall installing it, I'm not currently super committed to using Henkaku for anything, I just don't want to remove my ability to use it unnecessarily.

I haven't followed up on this. Are there any pep/ps1 emus? Really want to put star ocean second story on my vita
whats ark?
Ah damn. One of the few upcoming games I wanted ro play on the vita.it appears that Darkest Dungeon requires 3.61 to play (i think the game is up in EU store?)
there is 256GB microSD card but it's $200.
ARK is more or less a Custom PSP emulator firmware for the Vita. It has been used in the previous Vita PSP emu exploits. You can use it to run PSP backups and homebrews. Keep in mind that it is in the Vita PSP emulator and thus gives you access to the regular PSP emulator in the Vita. This means you will get the same power as a regular PSP, not an emulator with upscaling and stuff like that.
ARK changed the UI to PSP XMB right? I don't need to download a bunch of demos to have PSP bubbles or anything.

I updated my Vita because I want to play Darkest Dungeon but I'll likely buy another Vita for translation and undubs. I played several of those on my PSP. It made Valkyria Chronicles II not painful to listen to and Valkyria Chronicles III actually playable (no English Release). Same with cheats. I couldn't be bothered to finish a few games without them. They help smooth out the experience when there is questionable game design that requires annoying grinding.
ARK uses a much simpler design than the PSP XMB, what you are referring to is TN-V.
I don't exactly know how this new exploit works yet. But previous ePSP exploits needed to have some sort of entry point through a PSP game and then it just booted the Custom Firmware through that.

Awww that's lame!
I do happen to have a 2nd vita coming but I was planning on selling my old vita-1000. Now it seems like I should probably keep both.
Is there any preference to put henkaku on a 1000 or 2000 because of hardware differences?
I'd say the Retroarch cores at the moment. Might take a little time to set everything up, but retroarch runs great for me so far!

Wait, did I read in this thread that custom firmware was coming? I didn't this allowed that.
not yet,right now there is no CFW for Vita
Henkaku is considered semi CFW,not full CFW.
