Stay on 3.65. HENkaku Enso is patched in 3.67. If you update, you will not be able to install henkaku enso when the henkaku exploit for 3.61+ releases

You can stay on 3.65, but you'll have to wait a really long time (1-2 years possibly) for Henkaku release.

ok will put it in the cubord for storage to gather dust (again )

I'm pretty sure you can at least install ARK for PSP-mode homebrew o̶n̶ ̶3̶.̶6̶5̶ up to 3.63 (Thank you @THEELEMENTKH).
But like others have said, you won't be able to do any native hacking with Henkaku for a while.

That's not correct.

The Flow stated that he has an exploit for 3.67 and 3.68.
Therefore updating won't hurt. There's no benefit in staying on 3.65.

But: The Flow waits for EOL of the PSVita for a release.
Users on 3.61+ will have to wait at least one year

No, I'm pretty sure he said it works on all versions 3.61+. Updating from 3.65 will patch Enso and it's not a good idea to update.

Ark cannot be installed on 3.65, you meant 3.63

The only two/three things you can do are:
1-Put the Henkaku DNS on your Wifi connection settings to block updates and access PSN Store/Remote Play without updating
2- Download PlayEnglish Manual/any free PSP title you can grab on the store and install it
3-Install VHBL on that PSP title to enjoy PSP homebrew while you wait for the 3.61+ exploit

This is absolutely not true.

3.65 is the last firmware with the bootloader bug needed for Enso to work (persistant cfw).
3.67 and above will only get temporary cfw that must be reactivated upon every reboot.

If you are currently on FW 3.65 and want to have a permanent hack, I'd rather stay there, because there's no way to downgrade (as you guys know I tried once and will never again).

Ah sorry, you're right!

3.65+ will get HENkaku ... but without enso


Yes, 3.65 will be the last enso firmware.
But... users on 3.65 still have to wait at least one year..

3.65 will get HENkaku ... but without enso

no 3.67 gets henkaku without enso

Yes, 3.65 will be the last enso firmware.

But... we have to wait at least one year..

3.65 will have both Henkaku and enso once the exploit releases, 3.67 and 3.68 will only recieve Henkaku though, because 3.67 killed enso (coldboot/Henkaku on a fresh boot)

no 3.67 gets henkaku without enso

sorry typo, my post was missing the plus sign. Fixed that.
