Does the arrival of HENkaku dethrones 3.18 as the best firmware for hacking?

Yup.

 

Personally i think any contribution to homebrew, kernel exploits or hacks or mods, no matter how small or large are all good news. It could be a simple thing that tell me what model my system is or control brightness of the screen, I be happy to know someone cares enough to try and make progress.

Better or not, all kinds deserve to have some light to shine in as long as it can. So that should go without saying, thanks to people who dedicate time to making these enhancements where i thing honestly the people making the consoles should have started to begin with before even selling the product, or they might have sold more and even stay in better business positions.

 

I'm actually considering buying a Vita just for this. Either way, I like your opinion.

 

Soon exploits will start causing increase in prices with people trying to sell it for more than is worth cause of it and how much they know people want it badly enough. While we all like buying great things as low as possible, people like selling things as high as possible and neither side can get to agree on the price. Get what you want cause you really like it. Wait for the right time, wait too long and is too late. Just like physics have laws, economy has one called "Supply and demands" If anyone dunno what that is, basically is the principal that if you make something that people want you need a lot of it. If you make so little, people who really want it will pay more than what is worth to get it, and having too much with no one paying for it will cause sellers to offer almost nothing as low as "You might as well give it away for free or with something people buy to get rid of it" as opposed to "Highest bidder wins" Try to stay away from those markets as i will admit as much as i like the homebrew and exploits will contribute to this saturated market of those tactitcs.

 

Can you link the original thread or release from where the modified version came from? I'd like to read about it..what you can do with it etc.

 

It was posted on twitter so there isn't much to know about it assuming you already have the original HENkaku installed otherwise head over to henkaku.xyz and check it out.

Thank you for the link. Yes I have henkaku already. However when I try to replace the eboot. it fails with filezila. Is there something in the settings. I changed the ftp to active... I was able to put other things and transferred successfully but not the eboot in ux0:app/MLCC00001. The error I get is " Could not start transfer"

 

That is because molecular shell is currently running, you need to install VitaFTP .vpk and run that until after the transfer.

 

I'm sticking with my 3.18 ps1 loader. In time I hope someone can port it. I do vc on my New3ds xl so I get all the emulated games I wanna play so I can wait haha.
Good things come to those who wait.

 

The only true psvita adventage of 3.18 it's the native PKG installer, and I already made a workaround to install pkgs on 3.60 with the help from a friend

 

i still have my psvita at 3.18 cuz all i play is ffx on it. i was going to get tales of hears r but now ill wait.

 

Adrenaline is here to stay, this thread is dead.
Anything you can still do on 3.18 that you are not able to do on 3.60?

 

You can use the PSM Dev Assistants on 3.18, but not on 3.60. They are very useful apps for creating Vita games using the Unity Engine and PSM SDK.

I hope someone does manage to find a way to unlock them on 3.60 though; they were blocked 3.52 and upwards.
