Hello, I have imported a new slim Vita from Japan. It's on 3.63. Is this guide still ok to use, or is there a btter one?

https://vita.hacks.guide/updating-firmware-(ps-vita-3.65-and-3.68)

When I connect the Vita to my windows laptopn via usb it says I can't connect to PC, it then asks if I have CMA installed on my PC, is this somethign that I need to install before it will connect via usb? If so is it better to install QCMA instead?

Thank you!

that guide is fine

CMA is Sony's content manager assistant, don't bother with it

just install and use QCMA instead

guys, I think I goofed.
I had 3.65 henkaku + enso for some time and haven’t paid vita scene any attention, could run 3.65+ games (p5&p3 dancing games for ex.) comfortably
but then for some reason I decided to check vita scene and go for h encore. and downloaded exploit through qcma, installed henkaku through h encore bubble... (I know, I’m a genius)
I noticed my homebrew bubbles took longer to open, stuck on that round bubble thing for quite some time, or even better yet: vita wouldn’t react to button commands so I had to reboot console. I got the idea: hey, let’s do this enso thing! so I did...
now after I rebooted the console, in settings it no longer has henkaku menu, and on system information it says 3.67. but homebrews like vitashell work.
and here’s the problem: when I click persona dancing games, it says I need to update to 3.68 and that I’m now on 3.67. so this is when i started to panic. help??
again, I have compatibility packs, refood and repatch stuff to make the games work, and it DID work, until I goofed installing h encore that I clearly didn’t need.

Well, why the hell did you update? Roll back to 3.65.

So I just got a PS Vita used on 3.70 and it has an old version of PKGj. Probably the previous owner updated and couldn't access henkaku anymore and decided to sell it.

I'm following Plailect's guide to install trinity but I'm not able to find any PSP demos, neither from the ones recommended there nor any other whatsoever through PS Store. Did Sony remove them all? So what should I do going forward, purchase a cheap PSP game? Which one is recommended? My region is US.

Yes Sony remove some, if you can't download any demo, you have to buy a PSP game (all are valid).

Hello everyone I'm still a noob on hacking ps vita. I started last year my vita is on 3.65. I recently hacked my ps3 this year.My ps3 is on the latest firmware. I have tried remote play with my hacked systems but here is my problem is I installed the plugin to force remote play on my vita it won't work on the games I downloaded on the ps3 from the pc. One question I don't know how to make a new thread so I just posted here. I'm also new to gbatemp.net

Hi,

I have very recently purchased a brand new vita and am completely new to the system. I have no idea what firmware it is on.

So this may maybe a stupid question. I went through the initial set up screens until I got to the screen which asked if I want to join the playstation network. I cancelled it as I thought it might automatically upgrade the firmware.
Is this correct? What should I do? Please help

Thanks

you are ok to login on the initial setup. In Vita settings goto System, System information to check the firmware version you are on.

then follow:

Hope this is the right place for this, will be hopefully soon in possession of a Vita Phat running a restored 3.70 (With no PSN account tied to it) and I am trying to figure out what's the best CFW to use and how to best achieve that (The seller had to restore it in safe mode to avoid updating it).

Is the guide linked to at vita.hacks still what I need to be following?
