No. That web exploit was patched in 3.61, so you can't use it on any firmware above 3.60. You need to update to 3.65 and install h-encore with QCMA.

Regarding your question about the memory card, if your Vita is an OLED model you need to have a memory card in it, if it's a slim model then you don't.
It's definitely Vita 2k because only 2k can support micro USB.

Ok thanks I'll have to update when my sd card reader comes in a few days. I lost my 4 gig vita memory card in my broken dresser lol.

My vita claims it is limited to 100 titles, I was under the impression it was 500.

What gives?

Could not find anything just about a patch that extended it to 500

Hello. I'm having an issue with my vita. I wanted to try making a custom warning message I failed. It messed up all my plugins so i deleted the text and suprx files(had them installed in 2 tai folders since I wasn't sure which one to use). After awhile I decided to go into my vita and rename the tai folder just to see if that would fix it and it locked me out of my memory card essentially. I cannot connect to the pc because on boot the VITA wants me to update the software so I can use the card so when connecting it to my pc Via qcma or finalhe it tells me there is no card available.

EVEN if I wanted to update my vita it still says no card available to do so(I did block updates via DNS). I'm on ENSO 3.65 using ssd2vita. Right now I'm lost.



Would my only option really be to reformat it?

Just bought a used Vita thinking I wouldn't be able to jailbreak it and was content to play the game I bought and maybe a couple of other and try remote play and PS4 or PS3 connectivity (both my Playstations are not jailbroken or anything) but now I see it is on 3.68 and exploitable. Some homebrew doesn't support this version though right? I can't use any of that stuff if I want to pirate stuff on it right? Or are you able to spoof the latest firmware and use everything official still? I guess if you jailbreak it you can use that SD card adapter to get massive cheap storage instead of Sonys expensive memory right? Just looking for some help to weigh the pros and cons. I have a hacked PSP and I bought a second switch to have one official and one exploited but am not willing to buy 2 vitas to give a little idea where I am coming from. I don't really need it for PSP or other older systems games but I think there may be some vita exclusives I might want to check out, I already got uncharted with it. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

Argh, the analog sticks seem to drift randomly, I think I am going to have to return/exchange my system.....

Most major homebrew supports 3.68 just fine, major plugins were updated to support 3.68 ages ago which can be used for playing backups and AFAIK there are almost 0 releases of homebrew that are incompatible with 3.68. You can also use the PS Store on 3.68 just fine as well, if you wanted to access your legitimate games, but as with any hacked console I would suggest using a secondary account you don't care about to avoid any potential banwaves on your main account. For clarity's sake, I will mention that as of now there have been absolutely no bans for using Henkaku on a Vita from Sony since it's release, and it's probably unlikely they'll bother banning accounts now, but I will always argue caution every time.

You can also use an SD2Vita on any Vita that can run Henkaku, yes. It's definitely the best way to get mass storage without paying for Sony's overpriced memory cards.

Realistically, there are no cons about using a hacked Vita at this point in time. A minuscule chance of a ban is probably the only con I can think of, beyond that it's all just pros: access to various emulators and homebrew, ability to make and play backups, full PSP eCFW, potentially unlimited storage potential with SD2Vita, etc etc.

Hi,
I have everything setup correctly and running fine. but i have a different issue that i couldnt find a definitive answer to.

in adrenaline the max number of games i can see is 128, is there a way to see more since i have 2 vitas with 256GB sd2vita each.

also does PS1 games count toward the 128 games limit or i can have 128 PSP + 128 PS1 games, also what about minis?

i tried to experiment before with no luck

thanks in advance

AFAIK, that's a limit with the PSP emu on the Vita, the only way around it is to use a plugin like Categories Lite to separate them into ~128 categories to get everything displayed. And it applies to everything, from what I recall, so PSP/PS1/mini's as well.

After updating Adrenaline to 6.8 and Bubble Manager to 5.20 on my VitaTV, I can now no longer launch bubbles without this error message c1-2758-2.... does anybody have a solution?


I've tried multiple restarts and reinstallations of both Adrenaline and Bubble Manager.... tried both latest versions of ABM 5.19/5.20, nothing works. I've also deleted all my bubbles and made new ones.


Sucks because i'd like to use the new sharp filter without scanlines, but i'm on the verge of rolling everything back at this point. (which may or may not work). Games will launch via Adrenaline just fine in 6.8, but bubble manager won't play nice.


Help!

I and a lot of others are eagerly waiting for the downgrade. I have a blue Japanese OLED Vita and boxed white Vita just waiting for this...
