One of the leaders of the Vita scene, TheFl0w, has released a new version of his PSP CFW for Vita, Adrenaline. This April update adds the following:

- Changelog v2 -
- Added 64MB RAM support for homebrews.
- Added ability to use the 'ur0:' partition as Memory Stick.
- Added Advanced AA filter (disable 'Smooth Graphics' for that filter).
- Added ability to change smooth graphics (GPU internal bilinear filter).
- Added ability to change screen size (2.0x, 1.75x, 1.5x, 1.25x, 1.0x).
- Fixed sound issue in 'MotorStorm' and some other games.
- Fixed bug where 'ms0:/MUSIC' and 'ms0:/PICTURE' were not found in XMB.
- Fixed bug where changing options in the official settings menu didn't have any effect.

For those wondering about PS1 support, that has not been added yet. The path for adrenaline has changed as well, to 'ux0:adrenaline' instead of 'ux0: pspemu/adrenaline'.

How to install Adrenaline -
  * Install any PSP game/demo onto your PS Vita (compatiblity for PS1 games as bubble will be added in the future).
  * Shutdown your PS Vita and visit http://beta.henkaku.xyz/.
  * Launch molecularShell, press START and set 'Enable unsafe homebrews' to 'On'.
  * Reboot your PS Vita and then install VitaShell from molecularShell (https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/VitaShell/releases).
  * In VitaShell open FTP by pressing SELECT and copy the 'adrenaline' folder from the archive and paste it at 'ux0:'.
  * Download the 6.61 EBOOT.PBP (for 1000/2000/3000) from the Sony server (google it)
    and paste it at 'ux0:adrenaline/661.PBP'.
  * Copy 'ux0:tai/config.txt' to your PC and add the following lines:
        *KERNEL
        ux0:adrenaline/adrenaline.skprx

        *TITLEID
        ux0:adrenaline/adrenaline.suprx

    Example of config.txt:
        # You must reboot for changes to take place.
        *KERNEL
        ux0:adrenaline/adrenaline.skprx
        *main
        # main is a special titleid for SceShell
        ux0:app/MLCL00001/henkaku.suprx
        *NPXS10015
        # this is for modifying the version string
        ux0:app/MLCL00001/henkaku.suprx
        *TITLEID
        ux0:adrenaline/adrenaline.suprx

[CrimsonMaple]

If my friend's vita is low enough FW I might just buy it from him. This is really cool.

Great explanation, nice details. (SARCASM)

Yes i know that, i'm asking what homebrew that exist does make use of this. O_O

Emulators. Snes9x use it

 

[DaniPoo]

Then what homebrew has 64MB is the $1 question. (I'm not rich to say $1,000,000 so buy yourself a pack of gum or something )

Daedalusx64 and SNES9xTYL mecm?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Do tell where i may pick up these emulators.

On Google.

Bug report. Sometimes the Adrenaline menu doesn't load, and you have to reboot system to exit. Happened 3 times for some random reason.

Shiet, April has a good start.

I'll prolly spend tomorrow replaying GTA VCS with it!

Wish psx support was added, wanted to play the fviii in psp mode, don't really like using retroarch for psx.

 

[kingraa777]

doesnt ark do ps1 stuff?

doesnt ark do ps1 stuff?

no sound I heard

 

[ArugulaZ]

Should I wait to upgrade? If there are bugs and you can't run PSOne games, that's kind of a problem for me. Would much rather keep the old, flawed version of Adrenaline I've got than to lose it to something that doesn't work at all.

 

[DarthDub]

Is it still incredibly pixelated on pstv?

 

[VMM]

Do tell where i may pick up these emulators.

SNES: https://github.com/173210/snes9xTYL/releases

Daedalusx64 is pretty much proof of concept, I don't recommend using it since there isn't much playable in it.

 

[Bonestorm]

dammit i just wanna play ps1 games on this thing!

 

[MKKhanzo]

Move the adrenaline folder you had setup already, from the memory card. (ux0: pspemu/) move it to the root of the memory card ux0 (Make sure you select move, not copy!)

Then copy the plugins from the update zip to the folder.
Go to tai folder and open the config.txt, find the lines that has ux0: pspemu/adrenaline/adrenaline.suprx

Erase the part of it that says PSPEUM/ from both. (Is listed under *KERNEL and whatever the game was injected into tittle id *SLUS01334 as example)

Then save the text, press start and reload tai hen plugins, that is all.


If you never installed adrenaline before, if you really want a easy way, there is a adrenaline auto installer that also make epsp bubble, just use that homebrew first to make things easier. Once is running then follow my steps above to just get the V2 update.

Easy adrenaline installer

@Pacheko17

Thanks a lot good man! This worked flawlessly for me at first try!

 

[dude22072]

I just want a way to swap X/O for the adrenaline menu. My vita uses O as confirm, my pspemu uses O as confirm, but the adrenaline menu is hard-coded to use X as confirm instead of getting the system's confirm button.

cps2psp and mvspsp off the top of my head. saves a lot of space reguarding cache files being made for games using those emulators.

No need to upgrade since henkaku has online support for now on ps vita so you could just go to the ps store on the ps vita and buy some ps1 games for now.

 

[ArugulaZ]

I really should have left well enough alone. I tried to install Adrenaline 2, and now I keep getting C1-2858-3 errors. It's a tremendous pain in the ass to keep rebooting, keep unplugging the flash drive, keep installing Henkaku, etc etc etc.
