Hi. I've just got my hands on a 3.51 vita looking to get into hacking it. Coming from the 3ds scene where there is the one and only Plailect guide that covers everything I just want to make sure I follow the right guide for the vita. I noticed the noob sticky but is there any specific guide that vita users follow religiously like the 3ds guide? Thanks for the info!

There's no extreme in-depth guide because one isn't needed. The Vita scene is infinitely simpler than the 3DS scene when it comes to hacking.

Follow this guide to update your console to 3.60 (which is the only currently exploitable firmware): https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-t...uide-check-here-first.403035/#Updating_to_360

After that, simply open up the web browser on the Vita and go to "http://henkaku.xyz" and hit the "Install" button. Once that's done, you're good to go. You can follow the rest of the guides in the noob sticky for more information on installing homebrew and "backups".

Thanks. I've been reading that guide and it looks simple enough I just want to make sure I have everything covered before I set up an internet connection on the vita. Not sure if it's like the 3ds where the latest firmware gets downloaded automatically so I want to be safe! One question. It looks like I need to install the hack each time I turn on the vita that I understand but does it need the internet each time? I though I read somewhere a while back before I got the vita that there is an offlime hack but I don't see it...

Firmware updates will not install without user input, so you're fine to connect the internet.

There is an offline installer, just install this and run it to install the exploit in the email app: https://github.com/henkaku/offline-installer/releases

After that, when you reboot just open the email app and open the email under the Henkaku account and it'll run the installer.

    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
