Ps vita homebrew update#

Should I update if I am using FailMail tricks to modify the system (whitelist, themes, etc)?.Your best option would be to wait and see what other developers do. We do not support running PSP ISOs/backups. Should I update if I am using eCFW/ARK/TN-V/TN-X?.If you are highly dependent on PSP homebrew, we suggest that you wait and not update past 3.60.

As a bonus, you don’t have to purchase any games to do this! We (molecule) will not provide support for PSP/PS1 related stuff though, so all this depends on someone else picking up the baton.

Since HENkaku gives homebrew full filesystem access, it is possible for a developer to create a “bubble creator” Vita homebrew that generates signed PSP homebrew bubbles.

Should I update if I am using VHBL or PSP homebrew bubbles?.

Rejuvenate will not be supported anymore. Rejuvenate was a limited hack mainly designed for developers who wish to dip their toes in the water.

Should I update if I already have Rejuvenate?.

We know that updating to 3.60 breaks many current Vita tweaks and hacks so here’s a short guide on what HENkaku replaces. HENkaku will only work on 3.60 so we recommend that you update to it. It is my choice just as it is the pirate’s choice to steal content. However, I will personally not write any tools that aid in piracy.

I will not act as the police for pirates. Here’s my stance on this: I do not care one way or the other about piracy. It does not let you decrypt encrypted games.

It does not let you install or run Vita “backups”, warez, or any pirated content. With vita-toolchain, developers have access to the same system features licensed developers have access to as well as undocumented features that licensed developers cannot use (including overclocking the processors). It installs molecularShell, a fork of VitaShell that lets you access the memory card over FTP and install homebrew packages (which we create as VPK files). It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. We ask developers to build their code with the latest toolchain now for HENkaku compatibility.

If your homebrew ran on Rejuvenate, it will run with HENkaku with minimal work. Well, the reason was this: developers (mostly) do not have to make any changes to their code. At the time, there were some pushback on why I was adamant on binary compatibility when the loader was also written by us.

I published the specifications document and some gracious developers took up the task and wrote vita-toolchain. When I first announced Rejuvenate and the call for an open toolchain, I emphasized that the SDK must be binary compatible with the Vita’s native loader. As a result, we recommended Rejuvenate only to developers who wish for an unofficial way to write apps for the Vita.

Unfortunately, Rejuvenate is hard to set up, has many annoying limitations, and supports only an older firmware version. Since the release of Rejuvenate a year ago, developers have created tons of wonderful emulators, games, and apps for the Vita. The result is HENkaku (変革), the first HEN for the Vita. For the last couple of months, molecule (composed of I along with Davee, Proxima, and xyz) have been working hard to bring you an easy-to-use homebrew solution.
