Because Sony has stopped producing new Vita units in the west, all brand new stock except the latest Japan only colors come with an old firmware. If you are considering purchasing a new PS Vita or PSTV in order to use HENkaku, follow the upgrade instructions in order to upgrade to 3.60 and not the latest firmware. If you do update, all your installed homebrew will no longer work and you cannot install any homebrew in the future. It is important that you never update your Vita past 3.60 if you ever wish to use HENkaku now or in the future. Finally, you need an internet connection to install HENkaku.

In order to transfer homebrew to your device, you also need a FTP client for your computer. Unfortunately, it is not possible to run HENkaku on any device running a higher firmware version and it is also not possible to downgrade your system firmware. You need a PS Vita or PSTV running system firmware 3.60. You must do this every time you reboot the console–that is, every time you turn the console off and on again. Visit from the built-in web browser on your PS Vita and press the “Install” button to install HENkaku. You can find more examples in the showcase.īest of all, HENkaku is 100% free. For example, VitaDoom is a port of the classic game DOOM and mGBA lets you play Game Boy Advance ROMs. Homebrew are games and other software not officially approved. It is akin to jailbreaking your iPhone or rooting your Android device.

HENkaku is the first ever homebrew enabler for PS Vita and PSTV. Unlock your Vita and run unofficial games and applications.
