Earlier today, Yifan Lu, a well-known member of the Vita hacking scene famous for the Rejuvenate hack for the Dev Assistants, has announced that a new (native!) Vita homebrew enabler for the latest firmware version, as of writing (3.60), will be arriving tomorrow at "9:00AM UTC".

The new hack, known as "HENKaku", will require the following:

• A Vita/PSTV running 3.60
• A memcard with at least 10MB of free space (internal memory is currently not supported!)
• An FTP client
• An internet connection**

**Offline support is now available! Launch the exploit straight from the email app without the need for internet access at all! See the unofficial release thread for more details. (Internet connection still required for installation)


This is a small paragraph of Yifan Lu himself explaining what the properties of this new homebrew enabler does:

HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. 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). 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).

The hack has been released at http://henkaku.me ~ Furthermore, the hack is said to be exclusive to 3.60, and there is to be no backports for the time being.

maybe an ddos attack by sony?

 

[laharl22]

I have a error code ans white screen

 

[ayy lmao]

I just hope theyre fixing the servers, not sony trying to stop them. I really wanted fanmade patches for games.

 

[ArugulaZ]

Haven't been able to access it on my Vita either. There's a security certificate error when I try to reach the site on my computer. It may be down for a while.

Okay, so someone run me through this. What is the ACTUAL clock speed of the Vita? I've heard 1GHz, 2GHz, and now 444MHz. What speed does the Vita run at while running official games?

Ddos' are illegal.

 

[alucard_xs]

The vita runs at 444 MHz

333 MHz

 

[zoogie]

333 is standard with a 444mhz max. These are the speeds enforced by the OS and, if it's hacked, can theoretically be increased to 2Ghz.

i know
maybe i am illegal too so what?
it wouldn't wonder me if sony goes this way of shutting the website down
it was just an thought

If you want your battery to last an hour and your Vita to get hot enough to start a fire.

Well yeah, that's why I put "theoretically"

However, if your system is plugged in or you have a VitaTV, maybe it's not quite as much of an issue. Hopefully there's a way to monitor internal temp though.

I wonder if power draw would also be an issue.

They're having issues with DNS I think. Someone reported them for spam.

 

[RitchieRitchie]

I'm getting a (C2-14921-7) error when I try to access the page, anyone else?

 

[alucard_xs]

the Vita won't be very long to die at 2 GHz ...

 

[Deleted User]

Is anyone still actually capable of accessing go.henkaku.xyz right now?

[metroid maniac]

I get a DNS error. Is the server's IP still available though?

 

[CloudStrife1901]

I get an error from my ISP saying

Sorry, we could not find go.henkaku.xyz.

Like the page doesn't exist

The only time i get this error is if I'm trying to find torrent sites i know what get blocked by the ISP provider

 

[naughtyotsel]
