Hacking Firmware 3.61 released.

[Tigran]

It seems Sony has just released firmware 3.61

Henkaku does not work on it right now currently.

It jumped from 3.60 to 6.31?

 

[Luckkill4u]

Huh? 6.31 PS Vita is on 3.60 and there was no update.

[Tigran]

Yeah sorry. Typed it up on my tablet and made a typo.

Not like your games stop working if you don't update...

What about online features of games though?

He can still use vita update blocker for now if he wished to go online/use ps store...

No need to update asap.

Vita update blocker only works for a few weeks after a new update is released though.
Afterwards, there will just be no more access again under the latest FW, as far as I know.

Basically this. Update blocker is a temp solution and plus because I review vita games I need to be on the latest firmware in order to ensure compatibility

I'll also update mine as soon as I receive the update. Homebrew is cool and all, but right now, while the Vita is still getting new games, I want mine to be fully updated (besides, I have tons of pre-ordered games which will need PSN access to download the pre-order bonus stuff).

In my PSP Go, which I use mainly for emulation and fan translations I had no problem with missing updates, but for my 3DS and Vita, while there's new games out there, they shall remain virgin. x'D

So long as you have a PS3, you don't need to update if you want the latest games AND homebrew. I doubt any games are going to start shipping with requirements of this new FW any time soon either.

I'm hoping someone makes a spoofer for henkaku so we can still sign in. I have too many PS Plus games.

Eh, I dunno about that...

Was a completly new post needed to be made? Yeah is about a new update but the only reason why anyone announced it was HENKAKU. So why not just talk about it inside that already existing thread!?

If HENKAKU Wasn't a big deal, then i'm 100% no one would care to create this topic.

Well, I don't see why we shouldn't have a brief announcement/warning thread specifically for the new update. It can warn new users just starting in the Vita scene that the new update ruins their chance for native homebrew.

I just wish the OP would add a little more detail into his post.
Things such as, maybe, why it doesn't work (function offsets/addresses would need to be found and ported over to HENkaku, if the exploit hasn't already been patched)

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

@Voxel Studios Way ahead of you, already tried to discuss that.

Title fixed, OP was probably a bit too excited.
