Hacking Does VitaFTP (Or any of the other VHBL FTP program) still work on 3.61?

Long story short, I do plan on updating to 3.61 because I need my Vita for next week and it needs to be activated (Tried both of the methods, neither worked for me).

What I'm asking, however, is if the FTP programs on VHBL will still work. I remember reading that while 3.61 does prevent the usage of HENkaku, you can still use the V2 whitelist, custom themes, and VHBL (Strangely enough). So, can anyone verify that those specific programs still work?

Can't you just borrow some guy's PS3? Updating to 3.61 just to be activated is a huge missup for a hack that comes once in a five years.
If you couldn't activate it through PS3, then you just didn't follow instructions carefully.

I don't know anyone who owns a PS3. Also, I did follow the instructions correctly. It didn't work. I went through both processes around 5-8 times before giving up.

As far as keeping HENkaku, I have no need for it at this point. So, why should I force myself to keep it, meanwhile halt any and all activities that require the system to be activated?

Yeah, I know, everyone hates double posts.

So, I took the plunge and updated. Here's what I can confirm:
  1. HENkaku no longer works (Like everyone already knowns). Any attempt to install it will result in an error message saying "restart the browser" (Why is this all in lower case?).
  2. VHBL does still work, along with VitaFTP. So, for those of you who still use PSP homebrew, you're on the clear, for now.
  3. You cannot activate PSM, for some stupid reason. Any attempt to do so will result in a message saying "A DNS server cannot be used".

I wish I saw your post earlier!
You could have just used 'vita activator' which allows you to activate/deactivate your vita with henkaku. No PS3 required.

I thought sony killed PSM completely? I'm pretty sure it's all been removed from their servers.

You're out of touch for one day, and the something important happens. Oh well, you live and learn (I'll excuse myself out).

I figured they'd at least leave the activation files on there. It shouldn't take up more than a couple megs. But, then again, there are a lot of things Sony should be doing that they're not.

Once you update to 3.61 then you can say goobye to henkaku. It took years to find a hole in Vita so once you update then you will need to wait months/years for next hole.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
