Hacking Coming back to my Vita

[liluvafan]

I have been absent from the Vita hacking scene, or any gaming hacking scene for that matter, for quite a while. I picked up my Vita again today, with the intention of getting everything up to date as far as installing the newest cfws and vita shell/ taiHEN/ whatever else. Upon going back on it, I was completely lost. I already have RetroArch, VHBL, and molecular shell installed as bubbles on here. I also have taiHEN installed as well. I am running 3.60, and i just wanna know if there's a way to just get like a fresh start of sorts, reinstalling and upgrading some of the outdated firmware to get up to date. My ultimate goal is to be able to run backups of my purchased physical copy Vita games, as well as running old PSX and PSP games. I also remember seeing something that was almost like a flashcart for the vita? I don't know. If someone could just fill me in a little bit as to what I've missed and if i can get that clean reinstallation, that would be awesome. Thanks so much!!!

SD2Vita, but it's just a fancy adapter that acts as a memory card. You can combine it with NoNpDRM for a flashcart-like experience though.

There's also an Enso 3.65 updater, but you might want to get everything working on 3.6 before you update, as I've heard you can't install Adrenaline on 3.65 (you can take it with you from 3.6 though)

Adrenaline can 100% be installed on 3.65...

What I would do is delete any plugins or hacks altogether. Then starting from the beginning,

Re run henkaku from henkaku.xyz/go

Install the latest Vitashell.

Backup Vitashell using CMA on a pc!!

Run henkaku 3.65 installer.

Set up plugins, NoNpDrm (For making your backups launch without official license, sd2vita plugin if you're going down the micro SD route.

Install Adrenaline for PSP and PS1 playing.

Install PKGj to be able to download backups of your obviously bought and owned games.

Edit: I also have repatch plugin installed so I can play Secret of Mana patched for English language and Retro arch for all my retro stuff.

The advantage of updating to 3.65 enso is you can play games that require 3.61-3.65 firmware (example Japanese Secret of Mana), the PSN store works so you can download your legitimately purchased games and themes.

3.65 Enso is completely safe if you backup Vitashell and don't mess about with any system partitions or apps that write to those partitions.
