Hacking HomeBrew browser gives me a black screen

[Deleted member 483379]

When i open it, it just gives me a black screen. The Vita doesn't freeze or anything, i can still go to the LiveArea (tm)
(Fat Vita, 3.60)

that's normal. comepletely normal, actually.
there's also an easy fix for it.
first, clear the cached data for the homebrew browser by deleting ux0:/data/vitahbbrowser. only the folder called vitahbbrowser.
then install a fixed version.
here's a link i found on here at gbatemp(dot)net/threads/vita-homebrew-browser-vhbb-black-screen.558920/:
mega(dot)nz/file/joglxAwD#Jw-Y0N6XcVGDV3mIFpv88d9M56FlHyH6r3sK0jY7-XM
this isn't mine, but i think this will work.
and if you still get the black screen, wait for about a minute.
hope that helps.

Nope. I can now actually enter the app but when i try to search or download anything, the app crashes.

Actually, if you boot it and DON'T update, it works fine.

yeah. forgot about that part.
well, i'm glad everything's working for you.

The alternative is the app called Easy VPK does the same job

might have to delete the cache again after updating. it's a well known bug with the app.
