Its just booting with Henkaku enabled and not having to mess around with the email stuff (and the chance it doesn't work). At least from the video.

HENKaku -- Vita Homebrew and more comes to all 3.60 Vitas

That's not such a big deal for the Vita, but for PSTV it's a game changer. Hopefully there's a way for it to auto mount uma0 as ux0 as well.
I thought the recent news was that it stopped working?
Edit: Oh, there was a PSN problem? Rejoice!

It's stupid, but as I've seen you post so much in this thread since last year when all this started I feel happy to read that. Just wanted you to know that I'm glad for some reason, just don't mind me haha.
Also great news about the spoofing, I thought that with 3.65 it was gone again.

I logged into PSN spoofed to 3.65 two days ago and did not notice any repercussions.
I used it to sync my trophies earlier in the week and seemed okay.

Bought a PSTV and got everything set up. I was really reluctant to buy it before because A) buying a 2nd 64GB card would suck and B) that blacklist. Both of those being fixed is great; I'm running it with a 32gb microsd in a tiny USB adapter but I might bump that up to 200gb when a sale comes around.
Any opinions on whether 720p or 1080i is better for the video output?
Also aside from online sync is there a way I can easily transfer saves between my Vita and PSTV? I'm not opposed to using my PS3 to do that but something more simple would be nice.

If you're using the same memory card for both you don't need to.
Otherwise, with HENkaku there's a vita save manager app you can install on your Vita TV. Basically you can use that to make a backup of a games save on the memory card, then what you can do is grab out that file via FTP onto your computer. Then you can just do the reverse to import it back into the game on another memory card. It's not particularly simple.

Doesnt PSTV have USB mass storage support now?
Why buy a 64GB card?

Choo choo. I think I installed henkaku last August but haven't played much since. I need to get back on the bandwagon and see what has changed/improved. I know I can rely on you for useful updates ;-)

I bought a PSTV because it now supports USB mass storage, therefore I don't need a second card.

I don't really like the way you totally lose your icon organization when you swap a card between two vitas (I need to keep that junkware stored in a "garbage" folder), plus needing to shut all the way down, plus the database rebuild is slow when you have a lot of stuff.

Yeah it doesn't pump any more than 500mA so most hard drives won't work with one cable. You could do a Y cable and run one to a USB power adapter I guess, or just use a separately powered USB hub or separately powered hard drive enclosure.
As far as I could tell the size limit is 2TB.

I'm having trouble making the quick menu in retroarch stick. whenever I press the button combination the menu appear and disappear right away it doesn't stick. I tried holding the buttons, I tried tapping the buttons fast and then slow nothing working, any idea what I'm doing wrong?
also is there a way to play my psp/ps1 games in adrenaline on 1:1 resolution? I can't seem to find that.
and I'm having the same problem trying to play retroarch game on 1:1 so any help there? I'm using retroarch.vpk that include all the cores if that make any difference
EDIT:
I figured out retroarch 1:1
still looking into how to make adrenaline play psp/ps1 games on 1:1 of course there is the filter option but that does not seem to work once the game itself is playing.

Does the spoofing thing refer to spoofing games that require 3.61+ firmware? I see there are multiple spoofing ones with one referring to PSN spoofing and another option.

No, there is no option for playing games that require higher firmware. This is purely for PSN access.

I know there still ain't any crystal balls but I'm still afraid to reactivate my PS+ games via spoofing. I guess I'll wait and see what Henkaku Enso brings.
The spoofing Enso does won't be any different to how spoofing works now.

Has anyone checked out the recent RetroArch nightlies? The menu is totally smooth now and things like fast-forward finally work. The PSVita is easily my preferred little emulation handheld - It's almost in a perfect state for me now

Oh great, How is snes emulation?, have there been any performance gains.
If you really hate your Vita and want to brick it, you can now sign up for the HENkaku Enso beta program!

Sign me up! lol
I have the beta .. and if you follow the guide you won't get a brick.. However the beta is closed now. I can say mine was a success. Feels good to just boot up with henkaku enabled.
I've got a separate vita just for retroarch (and moonlight streaming - which just got a recent update too btw). Been using it a tonne for SNES/Genesis emulation.
Works great...is there a game you were having trouble with? I can test it out. I had some slowdown early last year but no troubles with recent nightly retroarch builds.
Also I got some really nice looking fake scanlines:
https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/4wlzy2/overlay_scanlinesgrill_effect_for_retroarch_vita/
Set the scaling to 1.33 in the overlay
I used the one without the border linked near the bottom of the comments - you'll need to make a cfg file for it and load that in retroarch - just grab one from the links in the op and rename it and the line it links to inside it (super simple).
Games looks awesome! It's quite subtle but makes a big difference imo.
============================
Here's a zip of the files you need for the borderless scanlines: https://a.pomf.cat/azwegx.zip
Here's a webm of how it looks (some artifacts from recording the screen unfortunately, but should give an idea):

Hmm, it's a lot better irl. Give it a try.

I wasn't sure where to put this but this seems as good a place as any.
I recently purchased a Vita TV. I knew there were some Vita games that were blacklisted and couldn't be played without doing the whitelist hack or Henkaku.
Then I realised if I put on Henkaku, I wouldn't be able to access my PSN games because the Vita firmware wouldn't be up to date.
Is that right?

Nope. HENkaku can safely and easily spoof firmware 3.65 and allow you to access the PSN with no issues

Wow!
I read the spoofing thing above but wasn't sure what it was. I can't believe I'll be able to log in with a hacked vita TV. That's awesome. This should be a news item on the main page.
Just be careful, someone got banned but we don't know if it's because he pirated something and spoofed to connect to PSN.

The more recent developments in Vita homebrew make me wish I didn't update half a year ago.
oh well, I still have my new 3ds and wii u to fill in the gaps that my vita/pstv could have filled.

Is that a recent thing? The only bans I've seen have been temporary IP bans seemingly because of Near pinging the Sony servers too frequently. Happened with me and nearly shit myself, but then it cleared up.
Might sound like a silly question - but what should i do - to 'be careful'?
Like just download my games and then stop spoofing 3.65? I'm assuming I have to be on 3.65 to play my downloaded games?
Turn off auto sync if it's on. Just in case
Alternatively, you can use the HENkaku Update Server DNS, 212.47.229.76, to prevent any firmware from being downloaded while keeping auto-sync on.
Auto boot for Henkaku released
https://twitter.com/Rinnegatamante/status/866613794927259648
Edit:to clear confusing,it's to auto boot an app once you launch Henkaku.

Note that this means Henkaku autoboots a program when launched, not that Henkaku is autobooted.
Yes, "AutoBoot for Henkaku" is markedly different to "Autoboot to Henkaku". Quite so!

I'm having trouble with PS1 .PBP on adrenaline
I have ff9 and driver 1+2 as .PBP
both driver games work fine in adrenaline but ff9 appear as a corrupt data but the emulator PCSX ReArmed from retroarch can play ff9 fine. Any idea how to make ff9 work on adrenaline?

Is it a multi-disc game? I don't think multi-disc PS1 games work out of the box in Adrenaline.

This isn't the issue. My copy of FFIX works fine. It's probably the case that the PBP has issues, and adrenaline is more sensitive to it than PCSX

it is a multi-disc game, 4 discs in fact. Any idea how to make them work?
hm what tool do you recommend to use to convert it to .PBP?
or is there anything else you think is the cause?
NormalFish

I've used PSX2PSP, however you may run in to RAM limitations, so use a program that lets 32bit programs see more than 4GB of ram or whatever it is. That limitation usually isn't a problem, but the big 4 disc games will have this problem very frequently.

I'm using PSX2PSP
I retried and still no dice with ff9
I tried other games and the same problem is there with one disc games, my tomb raider 1 show as corrupted data while tomb raider 2 works fine
EDIT: I'm using adrenaline 3.1 by the way
What would be the main use for this today? I'm not using any HENkaku plugins, like O'Clock Vita, but they are loaded automatically when HENkaku becomes active, right?
