release: VitaShell 0.95
If you have VitaShell 0.91 installed on your PS vita, you’ll probably have the nice surprise to see that it autoupdated to version 0.95 today, after an update was released by developer TheFloW. For those who don’t have the latest version, you can get it in the download links below.
What is VitaShell
VitaShell is an all-in-one utility for your PS Vita, which can be used as a File Browser, FTP Server, and to install Vita Homebrews (in .vpk format) and more.
Vitashell 0.95: What’s new
from the changelog:
VitaShell 0.95
- Added ability to install update files as .vpk (for Vitamin).
- Added patch to make .vpk installation appearing as full version instead of test version.
- Added text editor by BigBoot (WIP).
- Added ‘More’ entry to the context menu.
- Added ‘Install all’ feature to install all packages available in the folder (by ribbid987).
- Added ‘Calculate SHA1’ feature by xerpia64.
- Added support for ftp promoting for https://github.com/soywiz/vitaorganizer.
- Fixed ‘Move’ operation. Now it does integrate into folders and replace files.
- Dropped GENERAL_COLOR, now all colors are adjustable.
Download VitaShell 0.95
You can download Vitashell 0.95 from the developer’s github here. As a reminder, if you have VitaShell 0.91 or higher installed on your PS Vita, it will in theory automatically update to version 0.95. People who installed Henkaku in theory already have VitaShell 0.91, and therefore should get the update automatically.
To install & run, please note that you will need to have a PS Vita running firmware 3.60 with the HENkaku hack. To install HENkaku, please check our PS Vita CFW page.
Looking for more? We have a full list of Emulators for the PS Vita, an up to date list of Homebrews for the PS Vita, and an All in one guide for Vita 3.60 describing everything you can do with your hacked PS Vita.

“Added ability to install update files as .vpk”
Is this only for Vitamin or can I also just update my Retroarch emulators?

A text editor is a great idea. I was hoping for that to change configs on the fly.
Is there any idea when there may be a tnv release for this? I am currently on 2.02 and. Don’t want to leave my crisis core behind. I’ve asked a sony rep about the possibility of adding it to psn but got no where with it.
Can´t copy files to grw0 using VitaShell v0.95! only with ftp
I have no wifi at home. I just received my vita today and managed to update it to 3.60 via qcma. I then went to a coffee shop and installed henkaku and the latest molecule/vitashell. I did not install my psn account on this vita because I did not know the ftp only works via wifi.
So is there REALLY no way for me to install vpk’s on this thing until I go back to a wifi hotspot?
You can install vpk’s using QCMA, like this http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=46457&sid=3492cb70475d36e88099659424ce093f (this tutorial uses Open CMA but it would be the same process for QCMA). I haven’t tested it myself but it should work fine.
Thanks, but to use the method you mentioned I would need a psn account on my vita.
Luckily I have an ofw ps3 and I was able to connect my vita to that and it installed my psn account so I am good to go now.
Thanks for offering help plc.
To receive the update automatically one needs internet access, doesn’t it expose the console to Sony?
Most likely yes. I do remember reading about a program that can delete the boot history on the vita. BUT I have not seen a download link to the said program so it is vaporware. I hope someone proves me wrong.
You are correct I believe this is what you were referring to.
It was released a while ago now but it deletes the history for you.
