[UPDATE] PS Vita firmware 3.71 released, patches Trinity exploit chain completely

huma_dawii · Jul 23, 2019

Yeah I woke up with a message saying it there was an update available.. horrible!!! D: I spoofed to 3.71

spotanjo3 · Jul 23, 2019

Hahaha.. so what. No newer games for 3.71, Sony. You re being silly, Sony! It is dead but it still live on for home-brew and piracy games. No problem. Sony, you are being stupid. Yeah, you didn't read here, did you ? Whatever. Stop update it because it is dead already.. No newer games anymore.

Not surprising TBH, even if the Vita's been discontinued they still make a little bit of cash on the side from all the weeb games that still come out in JP. Only makes sense to continue fixing exploits until they officially stop support for the Vita (which, assuming they keep the whole "10 YEARS OF SUPPORT!" Thing will be 2023).

You need to use the ReStore plugin to use the PS Store on lower firmwares, not just spoofing.

Though you should keep in mind the latest version of the plugin is a bit buggy (v5), so you may want to use a lower version if you can get it.

I have been contemplating to buy vita, but to this date I am not sure whether I will like the games.

phonz · Jul 23, 2019

hmm i think I'll stick with 3.65 enso

Something whatever · Jul 23, 2019

Sony why do you even care anymore to patch anything? The vita been dropped

OldGnashburg · Jul 23, 2019

If I bought a 3.70 Vita today, would I be able to use DNS to download a PSP game and run Trinity?

same doubt

I thought the vita was dead

TheMrIron2 · Jul 23, 2019

It's very difficult to justify getting a Vita unless you're a big fan of, to quote other people here, "weeb games". The pickings were always slim, even when the system had its trickle of support. Compared to the 3DS, it was like watching those people who run a marathon as a rhino - why did you bother? It was humiliating on Sony's part and it's the only system Sony have refused to release sales figures for. Figures.

That aside I'm not sure why they're bothering updating it at all. In Sony's defence, it was a really secure system and ahead of its time in the security department. Perhaps their pride for the security of the system is all they have left. I can't imagine they're making money off the system anymore, and probably haven't been for years, so it's a bit bizarre. Especially since they've discontinued it.

They do make money from the system. It did sell pretty well in Japan, where they still sell quite lot of games for the system. A lot of the multiplatform games that were available for both Vita and PS4, did sell more on the Vita (given Japan's preference of portability).

There are also smaller games being released on PSN, so I can understand why they would want to keep patching the system.

You need to have access to a PSN account for Trinity. By all means if you don't have one set up, format the vita and it should let you use a PSN account without updating. But BE CAREFUL, as the factory settings let the vita auto-download the updates (it will still ask you to install them). Afterwards set up the DNS and try to get a PSP game/demo and downgrade ASAP with trinity+modoru before it stops working.

If the vita already has a PSN account set up. Use the DNS and try to get to the store and DL a demo before it demands you're on 3.71.

Clydefrosch · Jul 23, 2019

there are still people buying a vita that don't even know hacking is a thing. and they spend some money on the ps store.

The demos were only removed temporarily, they're all back now.

EDIT: and as a note, all PSP games and minis can be used, so any PSP game/demo can be bought.

Just yesterday I was thinking about finally hacking my Vita because it's only collecting dust at this point.
I'll stay away from this update for sure.

Changing the DNS should allow you to jailbreak it still. But, if you're on 3.69 or 3.70, Idk any DNS.

Tried DNS? I also remember a homebrew named "update blocker", or something of sorts.

Reynardine · Jul 23, 2019

I'm on 3.70 and I could still access PSN via DNS to redownload a crappy PSP game I bought (and since deleted) years ago.
Now it's time for some retroarch fun on a nice OLED screen, I guess!

I always liked the PSVita as a console, a shame that Sony dropped it so quickly.
If only the battery lasted longer and the proprietary memory cards didn't exist...

Edit:
Setting this as the primary DNS works for me: 212.47.229.76

There are still games being released, for either Asia or Japan regions.

I suppose that's fair enough, it got quite a bit more traction in Japan. Still, it's baffling for the more international audiences who haven't had anything to brag about for years.
