running adrenaline on pstv 3.65 enso is fine.
But it only freezes at loading adrenaline's psp6.61 if installing the adrenaline in a 16G usb drive with an app USBMC.
So, is running adrenaline on pstv 3.65 enso with usb drive not supported?

is there any news about making a nand backup on vita?
A couple months ago, a Dev released a tool that could make a NAND backup for the Vita without requiring any hardware.

https://github.com/zecoxao/vitananddump

You'll need to build it yourself (I can't seem to find any compiled versions, but I didn't look hard :P) and AFAIK there's still no way to re-flash it that's designed for end users (if there's even a public way at all, which I don't think there is).

But, to be honest, a NAND backup is probably useless since you have to try really really hard to actually damage your Vita to a point where a NAND restore is required, and chances are even if you hit that point, you wouldn't be able to re-flash it without using hardware anyways.

Solved by simply not use usbmc, copy functional adrenaline folder pspemu from ux0 to uma0 (usb mounted), and change MS location in adrenaline setting from ux0 to uma0 .

afaik updating FW will automatically remove enso, but if I were you I'll just uninstall enso first to be sure

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me.

I wish to use home-brew and other features on my vita- but I can not download bitter smile. I am on firmware version 3.68, and it says I must update to sign in to the playstation store, which I do NOT want to do, as I am worried I will not be able to run everything if I upgrade.

Is there a way for me to install bitter smile, and get on with this? I've specifically installed windows on my Mac just so I can do this as I have been waiting years, just using my vita to play PS1 games and metal gear.

Thanks, Conan.

Hey guys, just bought a Vita FAT that is already modified 3.60 Henkaku -10 + 128gb (sd2vita) + 8gb. But it has the PSN account of the old owner and I want to put my PSN account instead.

I need to reinstall henkaku from the scratch? What is the steps?

Thanks!

QCMA won't work with my Vita anymore. I have no idea what's wrong... my system's still at 3.60! I even installed a fresh version of QCMA just to make sure that wasn't the problem!

Also, is there any way to use the Playstation Store on 3.60? There used to be, but it looks like Sony fixed the exploit.

Backup your Tai config and any plugins it uses to your PC, then just do a system restore to wipe the account, set it up with whatever account you want, reinstall Henkaku, then restore your Tai config backup and plugins to get your SD2Vita working. Pretty much as simple as that.

Not sure about your QCMA issue (still working fine for me, just tried and I'm on same firmware), could be a number of things (like wrong drivers installed, some config option not set, etc).

But for PSN, no, there's no workaround beyond updating your firmware.
