Vita Homebrew Browser (VHBB) 0.8 released- Various improvements
Developer ‘devnoname120’ updated Vita Homebrew Browser to 0.8 up from 0.7 that was published for GekiHEN as the absolute last entry. We can safely say that GekiHEN ended on a very good note as Vita Homebrew Browser got the most votes in the GekiHEN utility/hack section.
What’s Vita Homebrew Browser?
It’s a piece of software for taiHEN Vitas that takes the annoyance out of installing (and discovering) new software. Thanks to this homebrew, gone are the days in which you browsed the internet looking for homebrew and had to manually install it. That process involved another device (for FTP or USB access) and having to install a VPK which is much more tedious than a simple tap on an ‘Install’ button. Thanks to this homebrew, you can install (and read about) any homebrew in VitaDB. It’s important to note that the maintainer of VitaDB (the homebrew source for Vita Homebrew Browser) isn’t the same as the creator of this homebrew! Rinnegatamante is the owner and maintainer of VitaDB so issues with the service itself should be reported to him.

VHBB means Vita Homebrew Browser
I didn’t even know this existed. Are emulators on the browser as well?
Also, I can’t believe I got the first comment. I must be early.
You got here before me only because I was busy with your mamma
My mother is in the hospital right now.
Yeah, sorry about that. I’ll try to be more gentle with her next time.
Emulators are available yes.
Including RetroArch from the Libretro Team.
If you would like to see the upcoming features planned for the app, they will be posted and updated over on Github.

Just a heads up:
You will need to install the latest version via VitaShell (or equivalent).
Installing VHBB from within the app itself has been disabled, while work is being done on the Auto-Updater.
Thank you for the article, Wololo. Looking forward to future updates.
Except this article was written by Aurora xD
