PS VITA / PS TV Henkaku release 4 - Internal storage support and more

Team molecule is here with another update to their henkaku homebrew enabler. Yifan Lu one of henkaku developers twitted about that minor update. But it is really only minor update? No, is huge update that give you ability to test out henkaku without memory card on Vita an PSTV with build-in 1GB storage. 1GB is enough to keep most homebrew and emulators, so now you can start your henkaku journey without expensive memory cards. And later decide that you need to pay Sony for overpriced memory card or 1GB is enough for you.

Release notes Changelog 1 GB models

  • If you are using the offline installer and wish to update HENkaku, you must first install HENkaku again using the online installer (this website). Next, while still connected to the internet, run the offline installer bubble (not Email) and install the payload again.

    Release 4 (August 30, 2016)

    • Fixed issue where YouTube did not work
    • Added support for PSTV and Vita Slim internal storage
    • Updated to VitaShell 0.86

  • Release 3 (August 27, 2016)

    • PSN spoofing: You can access PSN without updating to 3.61! Please continue reading for some important notes.
    • Safe homebrew support: Developers can optionally mark their homebrews as "safe" and it will not gain restricted API access. We highly recommend developers who are not using such features to update their packages as safe.
    • VitaShell 0.8: Read the release notes from The_FloW for the list of changes to VitaShell.
    • Version string: A callback to the PSP days where every hack would change the system version string. We do that too now (see the screenshot) so we can provide better support to our users.
    • Update blocking: In HENkaku mode, firmware updates using the official servers are blocked. That way you won't accidentally install 3.61 and it won't download in the background regardless of your settings.
    Release 2 (August 4, 2016)

    • Dynarec support: Developers can generate ARM code and execute it directly. This aids in JIT engines for emulators.
    • Offline installer: HENkaku can now run without a network connection thanks to work by xyz. He also made a nice writeup that you should check out if you're interested in the technical details.
    • VitaShell 0.7: When we originally released HENkaku, we forked VitaShell to molecularShell because we didn't want to spend too much time writing our own file manager. Thanks to The_FloW, our changes have been merged to the official VitaShell codebase and we no longer need molecularShell. This release had added many new features and bug fixes to the shell.
    Release 1 (July 29, 2016)

    • First release

Im assuming with the level of access devs have to the system, it should be easy enough enough to patch RAM to redirect the memory card to the USB?

PlayStation TVs cost about $100 here (65 Sterling), Im still going to buy a few though.

In theory yes, but i'm not sure there is a mount point already to just simple "redirect".

Wow, look that i'm lucky here about PSTV pricing. 50$ is absolute maximum here. Median price is ~35-40$

Yeah probably not that simple, but as you can update firmware from USB sticks similar to PS3 should be doable, it means the OS can see the USB at least.

This would be awesome! No more proprietary junk memory card, and normal access on external devices (btw what is a fs on vita? UFS2? custom exFAT like on game vita cards, someone know?) without worry of dying media (and some day replaceable media).

So glad I grabbed all these PSTV systems for so cheap. Well all but my launch day that ran me $130 but came with an 8gb card, two games and a DS3

I hope they find a way to let us use internal storage and memory cards at once, I mean in the Vita world every gig counts. Then USB storage for the PSTV LOL
