HENkaku R7 released, taiHENkaku changes finally merged
The day has finally come! Team Molecule have finally pushed the R7 update for HENkaku which brings all the changes from taiHENKaku. All that remains to be seen now is which name they go with from here on forward. The name taiHENkaku was the one they were going with for a while, but with this release it seems they’ve gone back to the old name. Whichever might be the chosen name, I’m just glad its finally out!
In case you haven’t been paying attention (how dare you?) taiHENkaku brought the C in CFW to the PS Vita. It allows us to us plugins on the PS Vita without needing the dependence on the amphetamin.skprx file. It’s also brought a ton of stability to HENkaku and the codebase has been refactored, along with making it easier for developers to use. Now we just need to wait for A Better Amphetamin plugin to be ported to the taiHEN framework and we’ll all be golden!
What is (tai)HENkaku?
In case you missed the original annoucement, taiHENkaku is the new version of our favorite “homebrew loader" ported to the new taiHEN framework that Team Molecule have been working on since the original release. While its major feature is the plugin support, (tai)HENkaku features a much better codebase than the original, making it much more stable and reliable.
Changelog for (tai)HENkaku R7
- taiHENkaku brings plugin support
- Tons of stability improvements and refactored codebase to be more streamlined
- VitaShell 1.43 fixed problem with built in updater

The final release is out there at last and to install it all you need to do is visit go.henkaku.xyz on your PS Vita’s browser. This release has been a long time coming, so enjoy it guys! Don’t forget to thank everyone from developers to testers for making this a reality. They all deserve it!




Last.
Now that we got that out of the way, I’m so happy that the scene for the Vita has come into this, there’s a long way to go but thanks to yifan the scene will look at the Vita with other eyes. And hopefully, greater things will come thanks to this.
Thank you so much to all the members of team molecule(Davee, proximo, xyz and yifan lu) for this long awaited release. Can’t imagine the sheer man hours you guys have put into this project so once again from all of us end users. THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK!!!
Thank you guys, for bringing the PS Vita to the level of the PSP.
May you all
Live Long and Prosper!

muchas gracias por todo el tiempo dedicado, Team Molecule! ALL GOOD 🙂
Muchas gracias a todos los involucrados en la scene de vita por darle nueva vida al ps vita. Gracias por todo su gran trabajo. Valio la pena conservar el vita
Thank you Team molecule.
Since the R7 had the taiHEN integrated, I’m wondering will it require us to setup Adrenaline or will it be the other way around? Meaning will it be much easier to get Adrenaline integrated as well?
Overall, we are all thankful for the selfless effort of Team Molecule making all these possible 😀
Has anyone here managed to make the offline installer to work with HENkaku R7?
Yep. Same as before. Re-run the installer, and it downloads the latest files to your email.
Instructions for using OfflineInstaller with Henkaku R7:
1. Open molecularShell
2. Press
3. Turn “Enable unsafe homebrew” to “On”
4. Exit molecularShell
5. Open offlineInstaller to continue with the offline Henkaku installer
Rationale:
If the “Enable unsafe homebrew” is not turned on, offlineInstaller will throw the following error message and unable to perform installation:
“It seems that the mail database does not exist (open ux0:email/message.mail.db err=0x80010002)”

Thank you…. For reviving my vita. I was going sell it and noticed this just some days ago actually. Lucky enough I haven’t used my vita since 1.60 update so yohoo.
Thanks for everything team molecule great job i appreciate it all your efforts I’m testing and is working better psp games working perfect
This post is so incomplete, i didnt understand nothing from it. how do i install it? whats the diference from beta taihenkaku for this? i need to uninstall molecular shell? if i turn off the vita i will lost the jailbreak like always? what are those plugins you praise about? im a casual user who just want to play emulator on vita. what this will change to me? ps1 emulator is now possible inside psp emulator?
I’ve been a bit busy. Have they ever fixed the “going into sleep mode” bug that removed the ability to save games?
Any word on a fw spoofer
I’m also waiting for this. I’m very dissapointed for not geting PSN games before its too late.
Cheers to Team Molecule, and all the testers.
It’s been a fun ride getting here, and now looking forward to future developments.
tanx everyone
today was a good day by ice cube to this announcement. I can see that when we have better coding for visiting websites. Does anyone know if we will get the direct PC to Vita access without using IP methods to have direct access to the Vita card or a SD card?
February.
@Leo Did you not read the last paragraph?
“The final release is out there at last and to install it all you need to do is visit go.henkaku.xyz on your PS Vita’s browser.”
@Dothackjhe Allow unsafe homebrew and reinstall the offline installer (It’ll connect to the site and download the newer payload)
does the offline installer need an update?
When I launch it I can’t start Molecule.
Isn’t taihenkaku derived from the word “hentai” which was just reversed into “taihen”. If so I would prefer henkaku then.
No no no no! Hentai is pornography! Taihen is like serious, troublesome, bad etc. It’s a very common word that we use lol. Like someone would say that their phone just broke or something and you’d say taihen desune? lol
“henkaku” means rebirth (afaik). so it makes no sense “taihenkaku” be derived from hentai.
Ahhh got it now. Sorry I’m no japanese and doing a google search of taihen would just result in the PS Vita hack. Thanks for the clarification though… 🙂
FTP upload stopped working after this 🙁
What’s the status of the offline installer? Will it just grab the latest release or will it require an update? I haven’t turned on my Vita in a few months.
The “HENkaku Offline Installer” does not have to be updated. However, the “HENkaku Offline” has to be updated. Please follow the “To install or update HENkaku offline” instructions in https://henkaku.xyz/showcase/
cant start adrenaline anymore after updating
Adrenaline doesnt work. Also how comes i got schwff info in name and email after refreshing the page to see my comment which is not present. Btw sorry schwff for posting with your name
It’s ok, and I got no idea 🙂
saludos quiero decir que esta ultima versión no trabaja bien con el PSTV ya que no funciona el Antiblacklist y no puedo poner a funcionar el juego mortal kombat y MLB15
tendrán ustedes alguna sugerencia
y en otro tema no aparece la carpeta App dende van los juegos cuando estoy en vitashel
Now I can’t delete the custom folders and files that I have put on root of ux0:. Can delete stuff within the folders thou.
Ow sorry. Just found a new function: Enable unsafe homebrew.
Reference for the “Unsafe Homebrew Mode” is available in “Not all files/devices are shown” section of https://henkaku.xyz/usage/
Adrenaline works and the old offline installer for those who says it doesn’t just updated myself from TaiHENBeta8 to HEN R7, played Patapon 3 and some VITA games
Both working here too. No problems.
FTP don’t work after intall this …I need a Help
It works, can confirm that. Restart moleculeshell and try again.
This is totally amazing! Just installed adrenaline and uae4all just works amazingly.
still requires a demo game? i’m going to hold back on adrenaline until that’s resolved.
Search gbatemp, there are ways to install without psp game.
Miku f2 auto play
Thank you and kudos to Team Molecule and the testers for all the hardwork
ux0: app file cant be founded at vitashell 1.43 since henkaku r7 was released. Do u also have the same problem?
Enable unsafe homebrew = On in molecularShell
so how exactly do we use anphetamine on r7
*cue evil laughter* just updated my vita from 336 to 360 and just finished installing Adrenaline for the PSP side of things (just need to figure out how to get the plugins working now :)) 😀 now for the quick question….has anyone been brave enough to have checked the spoofing from Henkaku to see if they could access the PSN store itself? Or is that a no go?
Still a no go.
We live in hope though.
