Hello, can I download a psp demo with the latest henkaku so I can run psp backups? even if my vita has never connected before to psn?
You have two options.

If you want to download your own PSP demo, you have to connect to PSN. If you've never connected a PSN account, you'll likely have to reformat so you can setup your PSN account during first time setup. You don't have to format your memory card, so you can just reformat, add the account in, and then setup everything as normal.

If you don't care about using your own demo, you can use the ePSP Bubble Installer to activate and install a small PSP bubble that can be used for Adrenaline/ARK. The only downside is, for ARK, you have to have Henkaku activated every time you want to use it. Otherwise, it works just as well as a normal demo. http://wololo.net/2017/02/10/epsp-bubble-installer-2-0-activation-without-psn-psvita/ <

Erm, how about using ePSP Bubble Installer V3.1 and then install Adrenaline? Like that he can run PSP backups.

I guess formating will erase my saved games, right? There is no way to keep my game saves right?

If you remove the memory card it won't format saves. If they're for backup games, you should be able to keep them just fine.

You could also just back them up to your PC using QCMA and restore them again.

Hello, It's me again I... I still haven't given up!
I found this:
Hack Your Vita 3.63 Now

It has got page on github and looks like real hack...
If it's only waste of time I'll be waiting even to last vita update to new jailbreak.

As always sorry for my bad english ;)


Dear Friends

Has anyone managed to unlock psvita 3.63 to run psvita games?

Is there any way to downgrade?

1) Go to Settings -> Network -> Wifi Settings -> Advanced Settings
2) Under DNS Settings, select 'Manual', and set the Primary DNS to 212.47.229.76.
3) Now you may go back to the root Settings menu and choose 'System Update' -> 'Update using Wifi'.
4) Only update if it says "Firmware 3.60 (変革 Compatible)", otherwise you should follow these steps again and ensure any other settings are not conflicting the process!
5) After you have downloaded and installed the 3.60 update, you are now free to start setting up HENkaku!

any idea what domain redirected to what IP using this DNS?
I'm using a crap ISP that doesn't allow you to change DNS, so maybe I can use the router to do the redirection thing

You may be better off with manually updating via QCMA and a 3.60 update file if you're unable to easily do the DNS method.
I must have deleted my own write-up of the manual update method due to the DNS method becoming the normal means to update, but Wololo has covered how to do it for ages now so I would consider following that, for now. (On a side-note, I should really restore that older write-up...)

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Alternator and battery
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
