taiHENkaku updated to Beta 2, fixes PSN spoofing (temporarily)
While it did take some time, the first update to the taiHENkaku beta has been pushed. This new release fixes tons of bugs in the initial release of this CFW for PS Vita consoles that are on firmware 3.60, although Yifan Lu still advises that if you are not willing to beta test – which means testing stuff and reporting bugs – you probably shouldn’t upgrade yet but rather stay on HENkaku V6. However if you are feeling adventurous or if you want to help out, feel free to do so!
If you want to help with testing taiHENkaku, here is what you need to do:
In filing your bug report, please be very specific in your setup (Vita/VitaTV, memory card?, what apps are used/installed, etc) and in triggering the bug (even if it is not possible to always reproduce it). Before filing any issues, make sure it is not listed below in the known issues section and read the other reported issues to make sure you are not submitting a duplicate ticket (submit a comment instead).
Remember that the issue tracker you need to submit your tickets in is this one. If you have nothing better to do with your time, why not help ironing out the bugs in this new CFW? Your call.
Yifan Lu also added that while PSN spoofing will work again, for some time, it is likely to break soon (this applies to all versions of HENkaku) and here is why:
PSA: PSN spoofing WILL break very soon as Sony disables 3.61 support. It only works now because 3.61 uses the same platform token.
— Yifan (@yifanlu) November 6, 2016
So if you have stuff you want to download, do it soon and fast because after Sony kills 3.61 support, it is unsure as of now if spoofing will work again. You can however, refer to our FAQ to see how can still get your PSN stuff using your PS3.
What is taiHENkaku?
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 HENkaku release. While it turns HENkaku into a fully-fledged custom firmware, it is currently in beta state and it is not recommended you update right away, unless you are willing to help beta test.
Changelog for taiHENkaku Beta 2
New Features
- Tons of bug fixes! This should fix random crashes/freezes in installation and usage.
- VitaShell 1.42 is integrated.
- Plugin loading support: the parsing of
ux0:tai/config.txtshould be working for developers. Check out the main development portal for details on how to use the configuration and taiHEN releases for the header and stub library to link with.- PSN spoofing is restored but WILL break in a couple of days when Sony flips the switch to disable 3.61 access. Please download what you need now.
- Version spoofing is done locally in SceSettings now. That means any website that broke because of the version spoofing text would work now.
Missing/Known Issues
- No cleanup support, if you load TONS of plugins, you might run out of memory.
- PSN spoofing WILL break in a couple of days. Access might be restored at a later point, keep tuned.
- Sometimes, right after successful installation, the browser will either crash or show a black screen. This is okay, just press the PS button to exit manually.
- VitaShell 1.42 settings do not work. This will be addressed by The_FloW in the near future.
- Package installation from safe mode do not work in molecularShell. This will be addressed by The_FloW in the near future.
- molecularShell now only shows
ux0:. This is part of the move to molecularShell being a safe homebrew while VitaShell has full powers. Please install VitaShell manually to access other partitions moving forward.- There is no offline installer for this beta.

Fist!!!
Coongratz!
Stop talking to yourself
If only that were true…
So many Ms in this thread. 😛
I’m already have loco roco demo on ps vita to use adrenalin
Adrenalin? It already launched?
No. He’s just a troll that asks about adrenaline in every post. Don’t mind him. When it is released we will report on it 😀
heheheeeh, you watching me. nice.
Hard not to when you spam in every article 😛 Don’t worry, when adrenaline is released I will tell everyone. Thing is, FloW said it could take a while. But he likes to troll so unsure if he was serious or not.
works it with psp isos?
Psn spoof is going to down. awww. that’s bad
well my ISP blocked psn acces anyway. so this doesn’t affect me that much. setting vpn just for psn acces is pretty anoying and slow
Wait really? How the heck did that happen?
some ISP will block IP’s that use a lot of data just to save on bandwidth”.
That’s plain ***. Not to mention anti-consumer. Bloody heck
Wow, any chance of changing ISPs? That’s just asinine in 2016.
Once vita gets fully hacked, I hope vita or vita tv gets a Game Cube emulator. Playing an old school smash bros. on vita tv would be so nice. Multi player capable would be even more nice.
Dude how powerfull do you think the vita is?
yeah then we can play doom 2016 in 4k too! look im not usually a sarcastic *** but seriously the biggest emulator you can hope for is maybe dreamcast, ps2 is still a pipe dream but some devs still believe it may be possible for the smaller ps2 games such as the space shooters etc , but for the most part psp and dreamcast is the most it can get to
Geek
Is there any chance of ban using psn real acc
Once taiHENkaku is out of beta will it be an actual custom firmware (CFW) like this article and the previous one have described it? As in, a one time install instead of running the home-brew enabler (HEN) exploit every time the system is powered on? If not, the author(s) of these articles should not tag it as a CFW to avoid confusion and getting hopes up. It would be awesome if in the end it is a full blown CFW but beggars can’t be choosers! 🙂
it will be somewhat of an Lcfw like back in the psp days, still a full cfw but needs to be re installed upon reboot , apparently a whole new exploit would be needed to actually make it work from cold boot
correct
How is this another CFW? Correct if im wrong but if we do not have access to adrenaline then we can not emulate PSP or PS1 eboots?
All custom firmwares had kernel access. Like when we used Promethius.
Anytime I try to downgrade my henkaku from the beta back to v6 it says can’t install this version of henkaku cause 3.61 isn’t supported. I’m on 3.60 should the email install do the trick?
