Hacking [Essentials] PS Vita Homebrew

[Flame]

As the old thread was not used any more or updated. ill will keep this thread up to date and start a "new page"

The title says it. Vote your favorite PS Vita homebrew including homebrew app, games, emulator, plugins, ...

Rules

1. Only one vote per homebrew per user
   
2. You are allowed to vote for multiple different homebrew
3. You must have tried the homebrew
   
4. If you're going to recommend revertmore homebrew, make a new post. No updates of your post will revisited after it was added to the list.
5. The amount of votes needed for each group could change (since I believe to many Essentials don't make sense)

I'm surprised no one has recomended VSH Menu yet. Is there something wrong with it? I admittedly have spent some time away from the scene, so I don't know if there is a better alternative out there.

I would also recommend these:
- Adrenaline;
- VHBB;
- Vita Hardware Test (because why not?)

I think VSH offers very little if you don't know what do with it and also makes some other homebrews like RetroArch slow down a bit.
It's good if you know how to use it but not essential IMO.


Also, in my ignorance, why would one need VHBB when there's Adrenaline?

Thanks for the heads up on the cons of VSH Menu.
VHBB stands for "Vita HomeBrew Browser", right?

Ooooohhh nevermind mind, I'm mistaking it with a similar homebrew. You're totally right. I was dumb.
The one I had in mind was VHBL.

 

[petethepug]

To be brink and less blunt. You might be talking about vsh or vshh. Take me wrong though. I have never homebrewed a vita unit before so i'm imperbious to hacking and scenes.....

ive updated the OP to this point.
