Hello! This is my first ever tutorial on here so if I'm doing something wrong feel free to tell me.

INTRODUCTION
Most tutorials from before HENKaku came out were written to make use of the "fail-mail" trick which allowed you to write system files using an exploit in the email app which got patched more than a year ago. If anything, this tutorial is more of a re-write of this tutorial done by HackInformer last year which used the "fail-mail" trick. I am updating it to HENKaku.

Credit to Benuno for doing this first:

And hackinformer for making the text tutorial:
http://hackinformer.com/2015/10/09/how-to-get-ps3-remote-play-working-on-the-playstation-tv/

DUMPING YOUR APP.DB
First, open Molecular Shell's FTP and connect to it. (I use FileZilla)
Once connected navigate to ur0:/shell/db/app.db
Copy the app.db somewhere safe.

MODIFYING YOUR APP.DB
I recommend using this: https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/releases to open your app.db.
Next, download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8llqn9vpdpva1el/pstv_PS3_remote_play.rar (this is by Benuno not me)
Extract all the csv files into a folder somewhere.
Then, open your app.db in SQLite Browser.
Goto browse data, and in the dropdown box find each section that corresponds with the names of the csv files, then goto file import and import the csv of the same name, it should ask if you want to merge the tables, just click yes.
Now, navigate to appinfo_icon and change the position to an unused one.
Straight from HackInformer:



    • page id = the page on your vita’s live area
    • pos = where the bubble will appear on your vita, you can only have 9 bubbles per page.
For me that would be pageId 3 and pos 9.
Choose "Write Changes" SQLiteBrowser.

RE-IMPORTING YOUR APP.DB
Connect back to your PSTV with FTP and put the app.db back where you found it, although first you may want to make a backup of your old one, just in case. When you drag it back in it will ask if you want to overwrite, just click yes.
Now, reboot (not standby) your PSTV and if you did everything right you should have PS3 Remote Play!
If you connect via private network you won't have to update your system.

TO GET ALL FEATURES ON PSTV AS BENUNO POINTED OUT:
Attention: Keep in mind that you can't use all features of the PS3 Remote Play app via only doing these steps.
After importing all the CSVs change the "gda" value from "NPXS10012" (Search both values in "tbl_appinfo" in SQLBrowser) to "gd" so you can use the PSTV Touch Emulation.
Otherwise you can't get out of any game or change any settings because you would need to use the touchscreen emulation for that, which does'nt work with vita system apps. Therefore you have to change the value to "gd", which the vita recognices a vita game and therefore touchscreen emulation works then :).
BTW the files are originaly from me :/. Hackinformer credited me as the source in the original article after i asked them why they used screenshots + files of my youtube video without mentioning me. (Of course they were also able to create a tutorial themselfe, but they were just using my stuff, so i think i have a right to get mentioned for the files :D)
(I don't understand why they aren't mentioning my youtube video as a video instruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7TnDlgMYQQ)

What do you mean by connect to a private network and when you say reboot ..you would have to enable henkaku after rebooting?
Also is there a list of games that is supported with ps3remote play?

You should reenable HENKaku after rebooting, and by private network I mean once PS3 Remote Play is enabled it will ask whether you want to connect to your PS3 over internet or over a private network, if you choose internet it will make you update so you have to choose private network.
As for setting up remote play itself, try this: http://www.guidingtech.com/22172/remote-play-ps3-ps-vita/
This tutorial was just to enable it, although setup is pretty straight forward. Sadly, most games aren't compatible with this but you can find a compatibility list with a quick Google.

This feature works great for PSTV owners. However limitation is the missing L2 L3 R2 and R3 functions. Graphic wise it's inferior than PS4 Link.

Hope to see coders tweak this feature more.

Thanks for the tip!
Oh, I honestly didn't even notice that. I'll quote this in the OP and add credit.

    ooowwww a new way for me to beat NFS 510 :D @SylverReZ

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.
    +2
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
