So can someone tell me if there's anything I need to do prior to installing henkaku for the first time? I'm on 3.15 with PS dev menu and dev for unity installed, and that's about it. I don't have VBHL installed, but i do have a 3.18 exploit game installed in case.
Are all those prior files defunct now with installing henkaku, and that's all anyone really needs now in the scene?

You need firmware 3.60 to use henkaku, then visit the website henkaku.xyz (open web browser and insert it into the address bar) on the vita system click install and after it does, that is all. Just don't turn off system or you will need to reactivate the henkaku again. (not to confuse system shutdown with sleep mode)

Wait why am i explaning this? O_O
https://henkaku.xyz

Homebrew is also on the site.;)

Thanks, I did read the initial post on how to install it. I wasn't sure if we HAD to have any of the precursor files and hacks to benefit from, or its all moot now w just a straight up henkaku install.

Now I just need to figure out how to get the 3.60 fw installed manually. I take it's similar to ps3, where it has to be in a certain folder structure to install?

Oh cool Internal storage support for pstv YES! :D
Now i can store emulators and roms on the 1GB storage and games on the Memomory card. Thanks :P

Is a shame the Genesisplus gx emu doesn't have working save states. Pico drive PSP was better than this, wish i can use that instead. :unsure:

What's the directory? Or is it not visible while a card is mounted on the device?

You cannot use internal storage when Memory card is in use. Turn off system then eject card and power back on. Is the same as with the memory card ux0: I think it is called. (Wish there was more clear names for these things, but is encrypted file system so what do i expect)

recently got my vita, guys i know this may not be place the to ask.

but when i first powered it on and set it up, i just sort of skipped through most of the stuff. (baka me)

and so now when i open molecular shell, the folders date are messy , some are 2000, and some 2016 , this is all because i rushed through it , and so could this actually be problematic with the files i will later on transfer onto it ?

and game saves etc. if i save game it will use the correct date (because i actually put the correct date/time on it as of now) , i guess there is no way to refresh the database in the vita or is there?

No that is a factory installed problem. Is not your fault. Is the system and maker fault the dates are that way Ignore it :P

Just go to settings set the time correctly and other stuff you want set up fixed. If you really must rebuild database. Hold the power button and r button on boot until you see the recovery menu then select rebuild database.

understood, and thanks for the quick reply ,palutena ! XD

btw. what would you suggest me to install after the intial henkaku setup?
is there any way to run henkaku without wifi? using the offline installer is actually hassly, having to go to the email app everytime, so if i was to just use the wifi version all the time, is it safe to do so? (i have auto download of system update turned off) but still asking just in case Dx

If you use wifi you must have internet connection, the offline installer allows you to reactivate without wifi. Unless you don't turn your system off then it should be no reason.

I dunno, check the showcase gallery on the website. They have console emulators, I have genesis plus gx but it has no save state support and sound issue, but plays great and all roms must be zip format but plays megadrive, game gear and master system :)
