Earlier today, Yifan Lu, a well-known member of the Vita hacking scene famous for the Rejuvenate hack for the Dev Assistants, has announced that a new (native!) Vita homebrew enabler for the latest firmware version, as of writing (3.60), will be arriving tomorrow at "9:00AM UTC".

The new hack, known as "HENKaku", will require the following:

• A Vita/PSTV running 3.60
• A memcard with at least 10MB of free space (internal memory is currently not supported!)
• An FTP client
• An internet connection**

**Offline support is now available! Launch the exploit straight from the email app without the need for internet access at all! See the unofficial release thread for more details. (Internet connection still required for installation)


This is a small paragraph of Yifan Lu himself explaining what the properties of this new homebrew enabler does:

HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. It installs molecularShell, a fork of VitaShell that lets you access the memory card over FTP and install homebrew packages (which we create as VPK files). With vita-toolchain, developers have access to the same system features licensed developers have access to as well as undocumented features that licensed developers cannot use (including overclocking the processors).

The hack has been released at http://henkaku.me ~ Furthermore, the hack is said to be exclusive to 3.60, and there is to be no backports for the time being.

I think I'd better stay on 3.18

Sooner or later we will play on flash cards and sd cards like on psp

No? I mean, PSP doesn't use flashcards, and the micro-sd -> memory stick pro duo adapter benefited from the pro duo being used on other devices.

I doubt anyone is working on creating an adapter for the Vita. Not enough of a market to make it worthwhile.

Ive tried Super mario world for the Snes and it runs pretty much full speed with the right settings but you get that horrible delay when you press the jump button

What games exactly?

So far tales of heart R and muramasa rebirth.
Whenever i launch tales of heart R it gives me a error to report and then close. Muramasa just closes randomly when i am playing.

Best news ever on the Vita scene. Tried and tested it. It's pretty convenient and easy compared to Rejuvenate.

Those of you who are interested in downloading vita games form the internet can go this website http://psvitadb.com/. Once you are at the website go to the list at the end and copy everything that has to do with the release name and paste it in your favorite search engine.

Edit: now if only some one would be willing to make a cfw out of henkaku with no security for vita games

I'm going to wait till things smooth out a little more before I dive into this.

Btw does anyone have a video on youtube of this with VHBL running snes games? I'd like to see how they run because I am skeptical that the cortex a9 can handle snes properly.

VHBL runs things through the PSPemu (Same as it always has). Probably not what you want to see (From experience, performance is generally OK. Depends on the game, but some will run fullspeed).

You're right snes émulation is not very good

I see, I used to have my psp running cfw with various emulators but snes emulation wasn't very good and my main reason go -to was for chrono trigger and final fantasy vi which played choppy on it. Hopefully on the vita this time, things will be better if not smoother

What? Then how come I am getting ~54fps in Super Mario Kart? No; I personally believe SNES emulation is great on the Vita!

 

[darcangel]

Henkaku? Is it something like Hentai + Otaku thingy?

Anyway, can't wait to see the Vita cracked, finally

 

[cvskid]

Does the genesis plus gx for ps vita also play sega cd and sega 32x games?

 

[metroid maniac]

Henkaku? Is it something like Hentai + Otaku thingy?

Doesn't that describe the Vita's best games already?
