Hacking Been gone for a while, about online play

[kazerei]

I could play online fine before, have enso henkaku with sd2vita on 3.60 now it says need to check my network connection wich is working, dont like the idea of updating to 3.65,or is it the only way.?

Maybe check if spoofing is enabled and set to 3.65.
It was a couple months ago now, but before I updated from 3.60 I was still able to use online functions. I use sd2vita too but don't think that matters much so long as your plugin is correctly installed.

I personally just updated to 3.65, it's not that big of a deal and most plugins (including sd2vita) have been updated anyway. The main draw of course is the new games playable on 3.65, I think you can play them now on 3.60 but it's probably less hassle just updating to 3.65 with enso.

The only real issue with 3.65 from what I've heard is that installing the update a second time will wipe enso and set you to stock 3.65. Which isn't really a problem unless you've got kids who use it or have a bizarre urge to constantly reapply updates to your consoles. (at least afaik, someone may have come along and correct me if I'm wrong)

@Rasa39 here is pretty much right, but for some clarification;

3.65 is a little bit of a hard upgrade, admittedly, and the main downside will be that recovery from a user failure in the system partition will basically boot you back to vanilla unpatched firmware, thus making you wait until the native 3.65 Enso hack.
However, most (if not all) plugins are going to be made with 3.65 in mind alongside 3.60, and (most importantly) you'll be able to play unpatched/NoNpDRM games that you couldn't on 3.60 -- and that's a lot of games. And you'll be able to get updates for said games as they come out as if it were installed from the PS Store. Plus, most fan patches will be made with NoNpDRM-patched games in mind from here on out, so consider MaiDumpTools and Vitamin deprecated.

You CAN get some of said 3.65 games dumped via said deprecated tools and running on 3.60, but who knows the validity or functionality of those dumps with these one/two-year-old programs? And said fan patches or regular OTA updates won't work either without being made for/patched with MDT/VTMin, which is going to be a hassle more than anything else.

Anyways, online should work should you spoof your firmware version properly; it should be set to 3.67 or 3.68. If not, a 3.65 Enso upgrade wouldn't hurt (aside from updating your plugins beforehand).

Ah my bad, I forgot that 3.65 isn't the latest anymore, so the spoof would need to be higher. And thanks for additional info @SeongGino
