Don't the 64 GB cards have a higher failure rate though?
Might want to grab a 32 just to be sure.

The Vita itself came with a 16 GB and the PSTV was the bundle with the 8 GB. So I guess it rounds out to 32 haha.

Great, you're all set then.
Would hate to hear about another 64 failing, read in a few places they're more susceptible to corruption.

Do I still need a computer and a PS3 media program to get Henkaku on the PSTV?

you only need a 3.60 firmware and an internet connection, then visit the HENkaku site

Yup. It's very simple on PSTV.

I think this is just a myth vita people have propagated. I noticed all of the people on reddit who were complaining about their 64gb breaking were doing stuff which had high writes going on the card, like restoring a large backup or copying over media files. Stuff like that is less likely to be done on smaller cards,it shouldn't really be breaking due to that, but I wouldn't say they're more likely to break or susceptible to corruption due to that. I bought mine used 2 years ago(it cost me like £30 & I didnt want to import, with all the rumours of then failing) , I've downloaded all my games straight into the vita though and use ps plus for save backups. Also there's the case of people being more angry that their overpriced memory card failed so you're more likely to see them complaining. Technology failing is to be expected but a 8gb card which came with your vita failing vs a £80 card which you specifically bought failing is obviously more frustrating.
LocoRoco doesn't seem to be available to download on Vita (at least in the EU store).
I'm downloading Ape Quest Starter Pack. Hope that's ok
My 64GB failed on me after about a month of two of not even turning the Vita on. Never copied anything but games to it, rarely done backups, didn't have enough games to fill it up, etc.
I mean, it's yet another anecdotal evidence and all, but my launch 16GB is still going strong and I juggle content on it far more often.

its definitely clear there was a bad batch of 64GB cards. Not sure it's still an issue, though.

Welp. I hope that nothing bad happens to mine! I get really antsy with those things! I'll just backup my saves through Plus though just in case.

Yep, which is why I won't take any chances buying a used card for all that money.
There are a few Japanese auctions for 100ish. but sort of feel the same way, a but much and if there needs to be a return that'd be harder.
Have Retroarch now installed (yay!), assume I just had to install the ~100mb file and not any of the smaller ones? And browsed to the folder that had a few different ROMs in it, but it wouldn't detect anything.
So I'm still tinkering, but glad I jumped in and upgraded when I did.

Hmm, he said adrenaline would release in "1-2 months time" on November 4th I believe it was. Then he throws up this tweet 2 days later. I am hoping it is coming much sooner then, than his 1-2 months window.
On my Vita Slim, I still have 3.52 and can run TNV on it and the PSP XMB, which allows you to play PSOne backups. So I am sticking with that for now on my Slim. My OG Vita is on 3.60.
Hopefully this doesn't stop being able to transfer from ps3.
eh, my 64 GB failed after a few months without me using it extensível, while my 4 and 8GB never failed me.

Can I still use my 3.60 vita to download those psp and ps1 games that I have on psn or do I have to update?
Er-For what? I must be missing something here?
Yeah you can. Though they might patch psn spoofing any day now so i'd do it asap.

Do you have a PS3? If so, yes...Not sure about simply connecting to the PSN and doing it...I know there was a way to still connect, but not sure about store access, I would be afraid to..

Probably similar access to adrenaline, using games you purchased on your account, like was used with custom bubbles...
Just grab a mini they take up almost zero space most of the time. That way you're ready to go right away when the next era comes through.

HeavyArm and Amazon JP are pretty cheap comparatively.
Why do you think this has anything to do with it? He's talked about this before. In fact, i'm fairly sure he mentioned needing a PSP game to use adrenaline before he even made that comment about an expected release window. Your sort of over analysis is the needless dramatics that has TheFlow passing out bans like candy.
Once Adrenaline releases, there is absolutely no reason to stay on earlier firmwares as it will have better PSP functionality, better emulators, better plugins, etc. etc. etc.
just a matter of time.

Eek. Someone help. I installed Henkaku back in August but didn't do much, just played a little RetroArch. I haven't accessed PSN or anything since. I'm on 3.60. Do I need to do anything special to access PSN so I can download a demo?
Thanks.
run the latest henkaku should allow you to access psn

Wait, that's it??? So if I turn on my PSTV right now, get an internet connection, and go to the website it's all good? What's the link? Also, what firmware does the PSTV have to be? Or is it the same as the Vita?

Damn. Thanks. Sounds way too easy that I'm a little worried, hah.
Any recommended demos? I haven't signed into PSN ever on my Vita. It's a JPN model and I have a US PSN ID.
I got the loco roco demo, it's less than 200mb.
Got myself a Mini for one of the previous exploits. It's nice that I can repurpose it once again
This has nothing to do with a release date. PSN spoofing via HENkaku can go away at any second now. Better download your base game now while you can.

Take a breath, no need to overreact because of my "over analysis". I said I was hoping it was coming sooner than later. I am not tweeting him so no need to worry about me getting banned. And yes, when adrenaline releases there is no need to stay on earlier firmware, but since it could be 1-2 months away, for now, there are reasons to stay on earlier firmware.

Can confirm that this is downloadable over US PSN.

I love theflow0 but he has a very thin skin. Trolls take advantage of this and bull him on twitter. He takes shit really seriously
Considering how much crap TheFlow has gotten since Vitamin and onwards I don't blame him. The fact that entitled pirates and random assholes decide he's satan baffles me.

Maybe I am understanding him because I would probably react the same way.
People hating on some guy who writes awesome tools to benefit the Vita Hacking scene FOR FREE pretty much shows how ungrateful people are and they deserve every bit of shit coming their way.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Trying to figure this out, I popped my memory card full of henkaku and games out and rebooted to try to rebuild the database, and when it prompted me to use the card in place of the internal memory I said yes. Now the card is empty, did that format my entire card? Nothing in the prompt made it sound like my card was getting formatted...
Patapon should work since it was an exploit last time right? I still have that on my card.

Used my 3.63 Vita to get Uno for my PSTV. Only 29MB so that should be better than using Gurumin which is like 700MB.
A shame people are so unappreciative of Fl0ws effort. Adrenaline should be great.

Er is it possible he can turn this into malware (or maybe already is) and can maybe sniff your PSN login details? Glad I'm using a throwaway account for this

I have so many PSP/PS1 games already but I assume this means the one you use will take over that bubble for Adrenaline, so I grabbed Locoroco.
I think my 64GB Vita memory card is at 90% full as well.
I don't even have PS+

Is it too late to get a PSP game now? I don't have an account connected to my homebrew PSN, but PSP emulation sounds nice.
