Adrenaline-3 released! PSX and save state support (and more)
That was quite quick! TheFlow released Adrenaline-2 just about 2 weeks ago and now version 3 is out. Of course, this release brings some awaited features that make the PSVita the console it should have been in the first place. Let’s find out more about our Easter present!
What’s Adrenaline-3?
Adrenaline v3 is the third version of Adrenaline, TheFlow’s PSP eCFW. Unlike other eCFWs, it has various extra features such as filters and built-in savestates thanks to taiHEN. You may use PSP plugins, play PSP/PSX games, use homebrew and do a lot more things via Adrenaline but perhaps one of the coolest things about it is that you have full XMB support. Of course, we can’t forget right analogue stick support!
What’s new/got updated?
The changes are as follows:
- You may now load PS1/PSX games from XMB and play them with sound.
- You may now use the built-in save states from Adrenaline’s menu
- You may use the USB connection option in XMB
- You can return to LiveArena by double pressing the PS button
- Some issues with beta games fixed (Elder Scrolls & Saints Row)
- Startup image added that was designed by Freakler
- Other bug fixes
As one can see, Adrenaline-3 is a must have so make sure you get it as soon as possible. PSX supoort is probably one of the most awaited features that we finally have working properly on 3.60. Save states are also nice as now, you don’t have to worry about messing up your game when you take a radical decision 😉 Adrenaline is now open source too!
How to install?
As with other versions, the procedure remains mostly unchanged. Of course, you need a PSVita/PSTV on 3.60 running taiHEN. Then, just add the adrenaline plugin to config.txt and download the 6.61 update to your Vita and place it in ux0:/adrenaline. For more detailed instructions, follow the link below! Expect Adrenaline Easy Installer to be updated sometime soon as well 🙂

You are late on the news.
The double tapping back to the livearea feature does not work on mine instead it displays the message “Could not find the application.”. Anyone having this problem also?
Changelog v3 fix –
– Fixed bug where ‘Cannot find application’ would show up instead of returning to livearea.
– Fixed bug where you couldn’t access the Adrenaline Menu after enabling/disabling wifi.
I cant seem to find that “v3 fix” though in TheFlow’s Github. Even tried downloading again the “adrenaline_v3.zip” and reinstalling it again hoping that the fix was merged in it but the problem is still there.
Oh wait. I found it. Took a little bit of digging in the links to find the “3.01” release.
I’m sorry. It so happens that writing articles takes some time…
Urgh, don’t let those bumheads get you down. Not everyone checks Reddit every few minutes, so articles like this are still helpful. Plus to did a great job outlining everything! Thanks for your hard work 🙂
Horray!!! Finally PSOne support with sound!! Thanx TheFlow!!
So PS One classics installed from pkg will now run?
waiting 4 ez installer, pls make it happen asap
Does this version includes the Right stick camera plugin? Or I must find and add it separately?
does 100% of PSX games work now? 😮
I would say no – as it’s not working on mine
Does anyone have the same that problem with PS1 games on PS TV ? i get only a small picture in the upper left part of the TV screen
Same
I had the same issue, doesn’t seem to like 1080i, set the pstv resolution to 720p and it should show the full picture.
nice thanks so much
Very happy for this release!
What is the easiest way to install V3 if you have a previous version of Adrenaline already set up?
Also, how do you run PSX on PSP eboots?
Thanks!
Nevermind – figured it out! For anyone with the same questions: Easy Installer v1.08 has been updated to install the new Adrenaline version over the old version (leaving all your games intact). You can put the PSX-to-PSP eboot folders in the “Game” folder in pspemu, then they will show up on the Adrenaline menu.
nevermind, need to have settings on TV to automatic resolution
The download should be updated to reflect the v3 fix release.
Still waiting for a permanent hack. We have everything now besides a permanent hack.
You’ll be waiting a very long time for that.
The saddest statement. Especially with the fail rate of the exploit. The offline installer could take quite a few restarts sometimes.
The boot rate has greatly improved on the latest update of henkaku.
Anyone has a tutorial on could guide me on how to install ps1 games on adrenline-3?
Run vitashell..uxO/pspemu/creative folder PSP/creative folder GAME.Copy game with folder in folder GAME(gta,mgs,medievil…)Run adrenalin.Game is game is memory stick.Function official settings from Sony.
Sorry my english.I am czech republic.
Thanks and no problem. I got your instructions. For anyone else wanting more detailed instruction:
All games go in ux0:/pspemu/game/.
The game has to be in eboot.pbp format and in case you are getting black screen when starting Psx game from adrenaline then you are making the same mistake as I am. Don’t leave the compression ratio on 0. Best to keep it at 1 if you don’t want to lose too much quality.
Fail directory
UX0/PSPEMU/PSP/GAME…..heer copy folder with game eboot.pbp
Copy new files adrenalin 3 in folder Adrenalin? (3 files)
No you are confusing adrenaline update with ps1 game copying. The three new files go into Ux0:/adrenaline/ folder.
You can return to LiveArena by double pressing the PS button
it should be Live Area not Arena XD come on we dont fight there
😀
Guys, I have a strange problem. V2 worked fine, in V3, when I run Adrenaline for first time, I am stuck at the Install 6.61.PBP to memory stick, press X.
After pressing X, nothing happened. I tried to reboot, restart TaiHen, tried to install Adrenaline manually, also via Installer, and still the same problem. It works on V2 with no problem, only v3 and 3.01 is a problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated
can i install adrenaline with the old easy installer?
Use Easy Installer v.1.08 for Adrenaline 3 with latest fix
dont u mean 1.06?
There is already an installer for v3-fix (1.08)
https://github.com/Freakler/vita-AdrenalineEasyInstaller/releases/tag/v1.08
heck yeah, and updating was as easy as pie. already playing doom on psx and it runs great! last version it wouldn’t even open. thanks as always mr flow
EXCELLENT, FLOW.
Now all I need is a rumble feature so Psycho Mantis can make my Vita move…
That…will never happen, at least not without some sort of 3rd party accessory.
It *could* happen if you were using a DS3/DS4 controller instead of Vita controls.
Didn’t read making the Vita move (facepalm) Still, there are other ways to get rumble.
Do tell. As far as I know, if rumble is not built into the hardware, it’s not possible on that device without an external piece of hardware. If I’m wrong, I’d love to know why.
No ZeroSbr, that’s not true! Here is an easy guide to adding a rumble ability to any device.
Step 1: Very carefully open the device.
Step 2: Go outside and pick up some rocks, the size is dependent upon the device and how much rumble you want.
Step 3: Put the rocks in the device and close it.
Step 4: Shake the device around, and feel the rumble.
😛
Caution: The Device will most likely break fairly quickly. But at least you get that rumble!
Still an external piece(s) of hardware :p
Oh yeah, good point. I admit defeat
There’s an update of Adrenaline EasyInstaller.

Digimon World 2003 eboot from Nicoblog doesn’t work, won’t start.
read the Discription on Nicolbog about the Game !
Adrenaline-3 Easy Installer already out : https://hackinformer.com/2017/04/16/psvita-easyinstaller-updated-adrenaline-3/ :3
hope they include on the next update, the option to use the analog stick esp on PSX games
Thanks! Greetings from Perú.
Hopefully this is obvious to everyone, but I think it should be noted…
“download the 6.61 update”
This is the PSP firmware update. Want to be extra careful so nobody misinterprets this is “update your Vita”, even though a Vita firmware 6.61 doesn’t exist. 😉
Can’t seem to get FileZilla to work. Is there any way to get stuff where I need it on my Vita through USB?
Is Henkaku running on your device? Because the Vitashell had that USB transfer feature you are talking about for months right now.
Yes, Henkaku is on my device. It’s as easy as plugging it into my computer?
Yes, just start Vitashell, press select button to start USB mode and access your PS Vita storage as if it was a “Mass Storage Device” or a “Removable drive”. You may need to disable hidden system files if you are using Windows to see all the folders and files.
No you need to use the latest vitashell, then go into usb mode, its the select button, then it will be accessible.
But I’m pretty sure that in order to update vitashell, you will need to get filezilla working.
finally sound freaking freaking sound!! for vita i love you guys.
when Legend of Mana was played once again in my vita, the unforgettable excellent music makes me tears out of control !
& Bug report : when running ps1 game in standby mode (run the game but not paly it a few minutes), vita will shut down instead of entering standby mode !
Bug report: when opening official settings the buttons will effect both settings and psp xmb and will minimize adrenaline app and return to live area every few seconds.
Any luck running Tales of Phantasia english patched??, I have tried using the POPS loader plugin, but no luck so far
shoot just forget i can’t install this on my 3.63 vita… SIGH….
Hey!
Here is the link with the releases, including the Fix: https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/Adrenaline/releases
Thanks a lot for all this hard work ! TheFlow, you made the PSVita great again ! You rock !
For some reason, i can’t use ctf themes anymore, put everything in the respective folders, but cant make it works.
How to enter PSX MENU to Streech Screen Size?
The same way your PS VITA does the Official PSP settings but you have to do it while the PSX game is running.
hi, and which is the official way? Never used psp emu on vita…
Resolved: the way is : press Playstation button for a while, go in adrenaline settings -> Open official settings -> Now your are in psx settings
where does adrenaline store save states so I can transfer from vita to tv? looks like it’s stored in PSP/SAVESTATE niice….
This is great! But i can’t seem to use cwcheat in it, anybody?
I converted Roll Boss Rush to eboot. It’s amazing, never thought I’d ever play this bad a** game on my Vita!
Digimon world 1 is a little slow, but it’s playable. Is there any way to speed it up? Because I saw some gameplay videos of it running on a PSP and it runs perfectly.
First of all I woul like to say THANK YOU for all the great works the Flow has done.
I have a small question everything works perfectly but when I try to load some old psx titles I did many years ago (that perfectly work on my PSP) I get
IMPOSSIBLE LOADING THE GAME (80020148)
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks in advance
