Vita owners might be excited to know that thanks to the efforts of TheFl0w, that something big is on the way, soon. If you're on FW 3.60, now you'll be able to play games from higher firmwares, such as 3.65. Adrenaline and Henkaku Enso have already been updated to support 3.65 as well. You'll need to update using TheFl0w's method, as there's no native support for Vitas currently on 3.65 yet, though a release for that is in the works for later down the line. He has extensively tested this current method and will be releasing it today, at UTC+1 23:00.

You can see a list of games that require FW 3.61+ here.

Release

Pros

• You will be able to access the PSN store, activate your device and download your purchased games again (only as long as Sony doesn't decide to release a new update that prevents you from doing that).
• You will be able to play all games that were released for firmwares 3.61-3.65.

Cons

• You will not be able to downgrade back to 3.60 if you find that this custom firmware doesn't suit you.
• You can lose the ability to run homebrews, if you modify the OS and end up in a semi-brick where you are forced to reinstall the firmware. This should however not happen to a regular user, but I'd rather not install applications that modify read-only partitions like os0: or vs0:.
• Some applications may not work on the new firmware and need to be ported.

FYI - I would hold off on updating just yet as a lot of the plugins will need to be updated to support 3.65.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

example SD2vita will need to be updated.

Pretty sure he already ported SD2Vita: https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/gamecard-microsd
He also did NoNpDrm, DownloadEnabler, and Adrenaline. Seems good enough to update to be honest.

Congrats for 3.60 users!!!
Now it's just a matter of time for 3.61 - 3.67 users to enjoy the power of henkaku

 

[CallmeBerto]

I wonder if Sony will care enough to ban people now?

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Gonna be updating myself. Only plugins I currently use are Adrenaline and NoNpDRM, so I'm all set

For the people who updated already. Do you lose your Nonpdrm games installed on a sd2vita doing this ?

No (why should that happen? the games are on the microSD indeed, for which you're supposed to remove the drivers in the first place before upgrading)
Of course, be sure to use the appropriate version of the gamesd driver and NoNpDrm after upgrading!

Still?

My comment here still applies ;O;

Yeaaah. There are reasons I haven't been able to get any of those ^

How do I delete the patches of henkaku? I use henkaku enso

 

[Maq47]

I think the title needs updating. According to @Lia , it's already been released. The title feels a little misleading as well. Title should read "thefl0w releases 3.65 update method for 3.60 Henkaku Enso users". Better?

 

[lucks]

Run enso installer and uninstall


Is psn spoof working? To 3.67
