Adrenaline 6.61: TheFlow teases full PS1 compatibility for HENkaku users
Developer TheFlow announced an upcoming update for his popular ePSP CFW Adrenaline 6.61 on PS Vita. The tool, which can be run from a hacked Vita (running HENKaku on firmware 3.60), gives access to a lot of what you’d expect from a CFW on the PSP, and v3 promises exciting updates for an already pretty good piece of software.
The release is expected to come in the days to come, and in the meantime TheFlow has shared the changelog of the upcoming Adrenaline 6.61 v3.
Probably the most important feature will be sound support for PS1 titles, making these games fully compatible with Adrenaline 6.61. Lack of PS1 compatibility was the only reason some people have had to stay on older firmwares such as 3.18 where ePSP Custom Firmwares gave them full PS1 access.
In other words, this upcoming iteration of Adrenaline will confirm 3.60 is now the ultimate golden firmware for the PS Vita.
The changelog also confirms that USB access from the ePSP XMB will now work. Note that this is to access your ePSP’s drive from your computer, not usb mass storage support like what the same developer made available for the PSTV in Vitashell recently.
Other improvements include lots of bug fixes for specific PSP games. I’m eagerly waiting for this release, as I’m sure many of you are too. The full changelog, as announced by TheFl0w:
– Changelog v3 –
– Added ability to launch PS1 games from XMB and play them with full sound.
– Added ability to save and load states using the ‘States’ tab in the Adrenaline menu.
– Added possiblity to connect USB in XMB and added ‘Toggle USB’ option to recovery menu.
– Added ability to return to livearea by double tapping the PS button.
– Added Adrenaline startup image designed by Freakler.
– Added option to force high memory layout. For ‘The Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion’ Demo.
– Added option to execute ‘BOOT.BIN’ in UMD/ISO. For ‘Saints Row: Undercover’ Demo.
– Added correct enter and cancel buttons assignment.
– Fixed volatile memory allocation bug that made ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’,
‘Tony Hawk’s Project 8’ and maybe more games crashing.
– Fixed bug that was introduced in v2 which caused some games to crashed at PMF sequences.
– Fixed NoDrm engine bug where fan translated games couldn’t load PGD decrypted files.
– Fixed msfs directory filter bug that caused some games not to recognize savedatas.
– Fixed compatiblity of base games, any game should now be able to use Adrenaline to the fullest.
Stay tuned for the release!

Wow Cool! Im waiting for this to come! Thanks TheFlow!
So glad my Vita has stayed on 3.60. I might have to pick up a slim later and update that to play Bloodstained when it comes out, though.
idc about most of these features but just fix that awful input lag!
Did you try disabling bilinear filtering in the official settings? Worked for me
Thanks for the tip, definitely made a difference, now I can play Pinball Fantasies finally 😀
So does this make using Activision owned PS1 properties really easy to use in the US now? (though making a bubble if you want it might be a manual thing you have to do, idk)
Now I’m interested since perfect sound in PS1 games via TN-X is indeed the only reason why I keep my Vita on 3.18. TN-X however, can use savestates and speed up PS1 games.
I’ll wait some more for possible improvements and bug fixes of Adrenaline before upgrading though because I’ll take PS1 games over Vita games any day.
Jugar juegos nativos de vita gratis, no es una una buena razón para actualizar a Henkaku 3.60?
Most of the games worth playing that work on 3.18 I bought on carts, and the rest is multiplatform with Vita version being inferior one. So if you bought your first Vita once it’s been hacked, Henkaku gives you a lot. If you owned Vita since long before 3.18 like I did — not so much.
We seriously need a love button for u Flow.
Damn i love that guy.
Finally, the day has come!
3.60 here i go
YES!!!! That day has finally came… THANK YOU THE FLOW. Thank you so much for tons of hours of your hard work! Big deserved donation is comming to you. Just like I have waited months on 3.36 for Your PSOne Loader, now my Vita will be finally complete for me. You made that device brilliant again. Obeisance to the master!
The Flow made the only reason i bought Vita… THANKS!
This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for ! Thank you SO much, TheFlow ! I am truly gratefull for your hard work !
Sorry for noob question but will we be able to throw some original PSone isos into Vita or we will have to convert them into PSP format (eboot or something…) first?
I’m not entirely sure, but I’m guessing eboot.
or pboot or whatever idk.
that’s what i thought, thanks mate.
Eventhough this is a great news to many vita user (so do I), I’m still waiting for the vita memory card mod.
Yes, looking forward to a PS Vita memory card or game cart clone with a microsd inside it, that would be fantastic.
Awesome!! I’m waiting for this!
Thanks The Flow!
Do you have some donation link to buy you a Beer? 🙂
TheFlow is God! this is great news!
I love when Devs listen to the community and grant their wishes! Cheers!
Adrenaline!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ark
TheFlow just doing something when others creating or jailbreaking. You give us hope that we can jailbreak PS4. Where everything gone? Or you waiting till somebody jailbreak it and you create third party tools that nobody need it?..
Here’s the official release! https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/Adrenaline/releases
Now we just have to wait for the easy installer to be updated.
No need for that anymore. Just copy the contents to the ux0:/Adrenaline folder and its updated hassle free.
just delete all files and folder on ux0:\adrenaline and put adrenaline v3 and 661.PBP
It’s quite easy to update actually. Just do what Raine0324.
Took me like 2 minutes.
Easy installer has now been updated for this version hours ago.
Damn, looks like the day will finally come where I have to read up on how to get this all running. Farewell my good old 3.18 Vita with all your handmade bubbles, emus and tekken to boot tn-x

I love the Ps1 support, Anyone knows how to change screen ratio in PS1?? plz help.
Hi
How can I configure the L2 and R2 buttons on PSOne games in Adrenaline? (sorry for poor english…)
I would like to see some tutorials, but I cannot find it yet…
Best regards…
Wow, this is exciting, great news, now my vita will be used for some great classic games, waiting for this one, thanks to the devs for listening.
Can i use PS Vita Adrenaline to register the PSP on PS3?So we can remote play any PS3 game with this feature and a hacked PS3.
