Update manually to 3.18 and install TN-V11 and TNX Guide
First of all I would like to thank all the readers of this Guide/Tutorial. I did not make any of these tools and would like to credit:
Mr.Gas & Major_Tom for the writer.eml file
qwikrazor87 for the TN-V11 exploit
Total_Noob for the TNX exploit
This guide is written for firmware version 3.18, for 3.3x and 3.5x I have no extra information on how to make TN-V11 / TNX work.
Since the release of Henkaku 3.60 native exploit I entered the modding scene and bought my first Vita PCH-1104. I'm still enjoying all the Homebrew that is being released for Henkaku, but I felt like I was missing something: Accurate PSP en PSX emulation. Since I don't like to wait when TN-V is ever (if ever) going to be released, I searched for another Vita. Lucky me found a 3.01 PCH-1104 model and started installing TN-V. It took me hour to understand the process and install TN-V successfully, so I'm hoping I can make the process faster for anyone who has the same problems as I did.
Requirements:
PS3 with PSN acces in order to get the exploit games
PSVita with Firmware =<3.18 and 4GB+ Memory card
