Adrenaline-6.1 released – Support for FW 3.65/3.67 has been added!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days, you know that TheFlow has been working on bringing us a FW 3.65 hack if we were already on FW 3.60. Unfortunately, FW 3.65 breaks some software however TheFlow stepped in to fix Adrenaline, the famous ePSP hack for the Vita, a few hours before releasing the FW 3.65 updater!
What is Adrenaline?
Adrenaline is an ePSP hack for the PSVita that was developed by TheFlow. It is also one of the most popular pieces of software for hacked Vita/PSTV consoles since it allows users to play PSP games and use homebrew while offering a whole slew of other features. Adrenaline has the following features:
- Support for all PSP/PSX games, even compressed PSP ones.
- Support for all types of homebrew including those that require 64MB of RAM
- Save States
- Plugin support
- Ability to use different partitions for PSP files (ux0,ur0,uma0,imc0)
- Many other features including the ability to use the right analogue stick (with appropriate game specific plugins) and internet support
What got updated in Adrenaline-6.1?
Adrenaline-6.1 brings about the following:
- Support for firmware 3.65 and 3.67.
This release is very important for those who have gone ahead and updated to firmware 3.65 with TheFlow’s recently released CFW updater. Adrenaline-6 will not work on firmware 3.65 or 3.67 due to the different offsets needed so you must update Adrenaline before using it on these firmwares (you can only use it on hacked FW 3.65 right now)
Interestingly enough, Adrenaline-6.1 doesn’t seem to include some commits merged into the main branch after the release of Adrenaline-6. For example, the ability to shut down your Vita from the Adrenaline menu can be found in the main code branch but it isn’t included in the Adrenaline-6.1 release. If you’re on FW 3.60, Adrenaline-6.1 will work just fine but there’s no real
reason to update.
How do I install it?
Contrary to previous releases, you can’t update to Adrenaline-6.1 by going to Settings->System Update from the ePSP’s XMB. To install it, you must do the following:
- Download the VPK from the link below and install it on your PSVita
- Download the PBP file for PSP FW 6.61 and rename it to 661.PBP
- Copy 661.PBP to ux0:/app/PSPEMUCFW
- Open the Adrenaline bubble and let it do its magic.
It’s important to note that Adrenaline can no longer download the PBP file of PSP FW 6.61 on its own so you must provide it yourself. Obviously, you need a HACKED PSVita/PSTV running FW 3.60 or 3.65 (through TheFlow’s updater) to use Adrenaline.

Do the PSP plugins still work? like the CWCheat?
Yes
Yes. This update only gives Adrenaline what it needs to run on 3.65. The plugins run in the PSP CFW natively, not Adrenaline. So the plugins aren’t dependent on the version of Adrenaline, but just the PSP CFW.
What I mean to say is the plugins are for PSP, the CFW runs in an ’emulator’ called Adrenaline…
if i update to 3.65 enso an adren 6.1 will my psp savestate save files still work?
i think i heard they might not or something?
I don’t see any reason they wouldn’t. Regardless of the Vita firmware, you are essentially running the same version of the PSP emulator inside of it. (That is, the Vita emulates PSP FW 6.61, regardless of whether you’re on 3.60 Enso or 3.65).
They might not work is the savestates are a carbon copy of the Adrenaline’s internal memory state
I got a 3.60 Henkaku Vita (phat)
But, I’ve also got a 3.63 Vita Slim, what do I do with it now?
You wait until the end of the year which is when The Flow apparently will be to offer Henkaku compatibility for Vitas running firmwares that are already higher than 3.60.
Sell the 3.63 Vita, or wait until the end of year, even more good things are coming.
Why sell it, I’m ‘patiently’ waiting for that hack.
2 vita = multiplayer
Besides, I prefer the slim’s usb charger.
I have the Adrenaline version that needs to be installed with a psp demo, how can i update to this version?
download the 661.PBP in installation works just fine..
Is it true 3.65 ENSO breaks compatibility with sd2vita? I’ve heard a few reports saying so but no official word
No, its not true
If we play non-pirated games and we play on 3.65, can Sony actually know we have enso? I would really love going online and synching trophies and it really sucks that I can’t just because I want to run a *** homebrew. Yet, I’m soooo worried of losing all my games on psn if they ban my account…
This is another amazing step in the direction of cracking the PS Vita on the latest firmware.
Good job, TheFlow.
I have a question so does my ps vita have to be on 3.60 or can it be on 3.65/3.67 for this to work?
que tal , actualize a enso 3.65, pero al tratar de instalar adrenaline me sale la pantalla negra y dice presionar X para instalar psp 6.61 en la memory card, lo preciono y no pasa nada se congela y la tengo que apagar y al encenderla de nuevo repito el proceso y pasa lo mismo , espero me puedan ayudar . saludos
so, update to 3.65 enso, but trying to install adrenaline I get the black screen and says press X to install psp 6.61 on the memory card, I preciono and nothing happens freezes and I have to turn it off and turn it on again I repeat the process and the same thing happens, I hope you can help me. regards
EBOOT.OLD non works >.<
I can’t play psp Japanese translated game now after adrenaline 6.1
I can’t play Japanese translated PSP game with this new update.
Okay I am confused, it says for both 3.65 and 3.67 but needs a hacked Vita. How will this work on 3.67? Please explain in a way where a newb can understand. It would be nice to see enso or henkaku for 3.67 since the browser crashes when my wifi disconnects. I’ve read there is one custom browser for it. Plus it would be nice to play PSX and PSP classics not available via VHBL.
for some reason, it gets stuck at loading the 661.PBP renamed from the official update of the psnetwork psp

Has any one successfully been able to get adrenaline 6.61 to work on thier vita with 3.67 FW? The article is a lil confusing.
By confusing i mean it darts back and forth on wether it works for FW3.67.

I never get it to work on my 3.65, i use the same steps in 3.60 it worked flawlessly. but on the same vita, i now update it to 3.65 it just wont work. anyone?
