HENkaku R9 released for PS Vita, has new cool HENkaku settings
HENkaku R9 was released yesterday. If you have a 3.60 PS Vita console*, all you have to do to update or install is to reboot your console and visit the official site henkaku.xyz within the console’s browser.
This new release comes in particular with the new HENkaku settings screen, directly integrated in the official settings menu, that developer theFlow had mentioned on twitter a couple days ago. It’s hard not to drool at the coolness factor of this feature.

Other changes of this release are mostly bug fixes. From the official changelog:
- Fixed a bug in one of the patch that may crash SceShell
- Disabled triggering of (nonworking) force reinstall in offline mode
- Fixed slow file reading in molecularShell
- Fixed crash in installing VPK (thanks d3m3vilurr)
- Moved HENkaku settings to the official Settings application (thanks The_FloW)
- Fixed problem of molecularShell corrupting VitaShell theme and settings (thanks The_FloW)

* HENkaku requires a PS Vita with firmware 3.60 in order to run. You cannot run HENkaku on firmwares 3.61, 3.63, or 3.65, and there is no publicly known way to downgrade a PS Vita firmware at the time of this writing. Read this page for details on what hacks are accessible to your console.
3.65 F**K
so true. this update is s**t. i wish it was like the good old nintendo internet security. that mean s****y security.
AWsome 😀
Woo Thanks.
messed up on that comment.
I meant to say First 🙂
the fail is strong with this one
lol men u crack me up
if you switch out the screenshot for this one (GBATemp used it for their article), it will show the bottom option that is cut off in this image.
That option is “Button Behavior”

nvm, the top option is covered up in the image i linked to.
Does this show you to play post 3.60 games like Scarlett saga
No this doesn’t. You’d have to have a digital copy of the game you bought and own, and modify it to act like 3.60 game. The physical version of the game would require the decrypting of 3.65 update and modifying it’s contents to install within a 3.60 update. I mention 3.65 firmware simply cause it encompasses the running of every game from 3.60 onward.
Thank you for the article, Wololo. Looking forward to future updates.
The other day I ordered Hori grip to play some PSX games with proper shoulder buttons, excited to see how that works, also would love to see more updates on Adrenaline field.
Thank you for the article, Wololo. Looking forward to future updates.
My other comment got stuck on moderation even though I was properly polite and wrote an extended due thanks to the working boys, what’s up with that.
Thank you for the comment, Aurora. Looking forward to more updates.
Who is this Aurora dude everyone keeps mentioning, is he the guy who writes the filler articles?
Aurora is a girl, actually. And no, she doesn’t write filler articles. Her articles are actually about as helpful as most of the other writers. Either way, there’s no real reason for you to ask this question, especially in such a rude way.
You can take your opinion and shove it up your nostrils jerk face, loser thinks this is his elementary school debate or something rofl. Yeah, I am convinced, convinced that your mom is the real filler here.
I’m a jerk for stating the truth and letting you know that you were (and are) being rude? You can take your opinion and leave this site with it. No one likes immature kids who don’t know how to be respectful.
Aurora is actually pretty awesome. She’s a Dev who’s released some different things for the Vita as well
If you are spoofed under 3.60 before you update henkaku the menu is not showing up….
Above 3.60… i have a 3.60 with 3.63 spoofed, and the menu is not showing up anymore
Long live the Flow
What about the Offline Install? Does that still work?
You have to reboot your PS Vita and use the offline installer to uninstall the previous henkaku version and download and install the new one. Apologies if I missed anything or have given incorrect information.
Yes. After you’ve updated via the website, run the offline installer app, click “o” to uninstall the old email, then “x” to install the new one. (Installing over the top of the old version should work, but has given me trouble recently)
Games are working, offlineinstaller not 😛 anyways I guess it doesn’t matter Henkaku EnsO coming soon
Edit: offlineinstaller works after enabling unsafe homebrew option, also all other apps will work such as reboot and adrenaline. Adrenaline needed an overwrite tho. everything works perfect. Much Thanks to Dev!
Launch the offline installer Bubble ( the one with the WI-FI bubble – that’s the offline installer, NOT the email app ) then simply press X to install latest version of henkaku (you need to turn on your wifi for this procedure to work). after the offline installer has been updated, set your ps vita settings to airplane mode. reboot your console and use the email app to use henkaku offline.
Yeah…. Can’t wait for that sweet update
offline installer works just reisntall henkaku
Henkaku R9 works fine for me, but I dont see the Henkaku setting in the official setting application???
same happen to me before, just reinstall henkaku,
now works fine for me,
Nice. Jus got some game on psn now I can play them. Thks guys.
Does “version spoofing” works on some games now?
Like “Sword Art Online – Hollow Realization” for example, which only works on version 3.61.
Anyway, Thank you for this.
Nope
Amazing! Thank you!
With this firm spoofing i can install nonary game pack (999 & VLR), but i can’t play it.
Its not working for me, cant find the henkaku menu in settings. I tried many times
try reinstall your henkaku,
I try to reinstall Henkaku but always get error messages in the browser
Reboot your device
I have done that and still it doesnt work
You sure you held down r1?
wooooooooooooooooo
Does the psn spoofing work? i tried setting firmware to 3.65 but it still asks me to update if i try to go onlinw
It worked for me when I changed the spoofed version to 3.65 just believe
I have the same problem as mas
i have same problem, to fix this, i reinstall henkaku,
Thanks, it works fine now
Thank you for everything you do “Flow”!
(I hope you read these occasionally)

Thanks The FloW
SUPP Guys, something weird happened, cuz Henkaku R9 isnt enabling Henkaku options on my PS vita, but still functionall..so I was looking for it on settings when I saw this…my PS Vita is running on 3.61 fmw, so How can this possible? I’m using Henkaku with no problems on 3.61….
Maybe spoof?
Or Dasmius is a troll trying to get everyone to flood the forums with nonsense posts asking how to do what he did
Lol I’m not a Troll and I can proof it, I’m saying cuz it jut happened to me and I’m really surprised :/ so I was wondering if anyone may know what happened.
Well for this proof you say you have, you haven’t offered it up yet. If you’re running actual firmware 3.61 then having henkaku work on it shouldn’t be possible. That’s even what team molecule says, and I’m sure they tried extensively to see if anything in 3.61 would allow exploitation of it in the form of henkaku. So you’re a troll til you prove otherwise.
With me was happening the same thing, just in time to install hold the R1 in the shell while installing the henkaku that it zeroes everything and installs correctly
maybe your vita is already spoof from 3.61 fmw
Something that’s confused me for a while… are HENkaku and taiHEN the same thing now? or is taiHEN some sort of seldom-updated, advanced alternative older brother, that is required for Adrenaline?
Henkaku is now Taihen since v7
Thanks! Good to know 🙂
i already install r9 henkaku.. but the adrenaline down..cant open.. how to fix it
for the adrenaline problem, check your taihen config, most likely it is reset to default value, retype the config will fix it.. or just use adrenaline easy installer
in short “reinstall”
Man, I haven’t touched my Vita or PSTV practically since the first henkaku release. (Well, I did play Zero Time Dilemma when it came out) I need to get with the times and get the new stuff up and running!
The settings menu for henkaku isn’t there, tried everything to make it work and doesn’t seem to pop up in vita settings.
email offline not working
Sony disabled that after they realized the vita and pstv were exploitable in this fashion. Now you need access to the henkaku installation site but that only works on 3.60.
Thanks team…. n_n
Nice, it’s working perfectly.
Online and offline installer, VitaShell inkl. USB memory, PSN access. Yes! <3
