taiHEN Beta 7 released, more tweaks for a better experience
The 7th beta release of taiHEN (or HENkaku R7) has been released a few hours ago and it contains some changes that consist mostly of bug fixes and more polish.
What’s taiHEN?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock or you’re absolutely not interested on the PSVita scene, you’ve probably heard of of taiHEN. taiHEN is the successor to HENkaku, both of which are Homebrew enablers but taiHEN is a whole framework that makes it easier for developers to code system-wide plugins, similar to Mobile Substrate on iOS. taiHEN’s first beta was released on the 1st of November 2016 and Yifan Lu has been polishing it up ever since to provide a better experience for the end user
What changed?
Apart from having compression support for fselfs (Vita binary files) enabled in the toolchain, there are some user oriented changes that aim to make the experience a tad more pleasant:
- Install payload has been compressed decreasing download sizes by 60%
- molecularShell now supports refreshing taiHEN config.txt without rebooting (only for user plugins and only works in non-safe mode; press Start to see the option)
- molecularShell now has full ux0 access again when unsafe homebrew is enabled (must quit and reopen to see changes)
- Re-enabled shell patches for version spoofing. This does not enable PSN but it should prevent CMA update prompts provided you set the spoof version to 3.63.
As one can see, most updates are little changes and it should be noted that PSN SPOOFING DOESN’T WORK as of yet. While it’s more of a minor release, it shows that we might get smaller homebrew binary files and a final release soon, both of which are very welcome things. For those holding off on HENkaku R6, taiHEN is quite stable and you can use Adrenaline with it (i.e ePSP) so by now, it’s mature enough to be used daily (you may use SwitchKaku to switch between stable and taiHEN testing builds for the offline exploit)
P.S Beta 7 works with Offline Installer and it seems that HENkaku R6 will be replaced soon (so it may be a good idea to start using it): https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/5h7ika/removing_taihenkaku/day0ium/

Where can i get my hands on the offline installer, and is the installer usually working for wharever version on taihen or is it a new one everytime ?
Thank you for the time you may take to answer =)
Same, where is it? How do we install it?
HENkaku was a website to install it, how do we install this one?
You just need to transfer the file to your vita and run “offlineinstaller.vpk” through vitashell =)
here is an offline installer for the betas. just run the homebrew that installs the offline hack while online to update to latest release. not my vpk. enjoy.

thanks
quick question before I try, can I log into psn from adrenaline?
I did, but since psn on PSP no longer support the store you can only use download list and get your psn psp games 🙂
Looks like the good old hacking days are coming back :’)
It’s been too long. Time to dust off my vita.
But the trick to download to the PS3 and bring it from PS3 to Vita did still work, right?
hi guys, can someone help me, i have my NES & SEGA roms at ux0:/app but this filder is not accessable any more, so how can i delete those folders ???
if you have the latest vita shell installed just move them with that. be careful where you put them. I suggest you put them at ux0:/data/ROMs/ or ux0:/ROMs.

want to ask. can i use PS4 remote play using vita without signing in to PSN? i’m planning to buy PS4 this month
Does anyone know if Go!Explore (PSP GPS) works with Adrenaline and a 3G vita?
Can someone help me?? I can’t create newfolder in mollecularshell or vitashell. Its always say error 0x8001000D
Run molecularshell.
Press Start once inside the application.
Set Enable unsafe homebrew to On.
Exit molecularshell.
Run Vitashell.
You should now see more folders under ux0: than usual.
Press Triangle, create new folder.
