Hey everyone,
I've just bought a Vita 2000 & it's my very first one ever so apologies if the question is silly but here goes.
I've seen tutorials (CFWAIFU/h-encore-2/) that h-encore^2 supports firmwares 3.65-3.74. I currently have 3.65 and won't upgrade or downgrade as this is one of the two awesome firmwares (other being 3.60).
My question is is it possible for me to install h-encore^2 on 3.65 or not? The tutorial linked above states it is but whenever I use FinalHE it installs the normal h-encore (not h-encore^2).
I found this (GITHUB/soarqin/finalhe/issues/131) issue on FinalHE's GitHub page where they advise to use the latest version of the tool but that's what I am using and still only h-encore gets installed.
I also dug around the source code for FinalHE and found this (GITHUB/soarqin/finalhe/blob/8dcb1d5af63320bdac26cf08403b41c50c38006d/src/finalhe.cc) file, particularly the following piece of code:
Here it's stated that if I am on less than 3.68 & above 3.61, which I am in my case, then the normal h-encore should be used (which is what happens currently).
If I go to TheOfficialFlow's GitHub page for h-encore^2 (GITHUB/TheOfficialFloW/h-encore-2) there it says it supports 3.65. If so why is FinalHE made to not install it if on 3.65 if the author states it supports it?
So finally is it possible to get h-encore^2 on 3.65 or not as I am confused with the tutorials saying "yes" but the source code and practical experience saying "no".
Also what are the actual differences between the two (if any) and would I miss out on anything major by using h-encore over h-encore^2?
If they're practically the same I guess I would go with h-encore as installing it is easier than building everything myself for h-encore^2 as noted in TheOfficialFlow's instructions.
Hoping you guys can clear things up for me, cheers
PS: Seems like I can't yet insert links so that's why the main site domains are replaced with the site's name in capital letters.
