6.61 Adrenaline-5 for the PSVita released
Like Adrenaline-4.2, this is yet another minor update so think of it more of Adrenaline-4.3. It’s mostly a bug fix release but since it’s pretty easy to update via network update, you should still update 🙂
What’s Adrenaline?
Adrenaline is probably the most popular hack on the PSVita by far. It allows you to do various things such as:
- Run PSP/PSX games with full sound
- Apply filters to the screen
- Do savestates
- Run homebrew, even homebrew that requires 64MB of RAM (Homebrew for the PSP Slim or newer)
- Use the full XMB (the PSP’s system UI)
- Update Adrenaline itself via the Network Update option in the Settings section of XMB
- Use Plugins
- Much more
What’s updated/changed in 6.61 Adrenaline-5?
This release brings about the following features/changes:
- An option called ”Hide DLC’s in game menu’ is now available in the Adrenaline menu
- The ‘Original’ graphics filter has been re-added as it caused some issues with PSX/PS1 games.
- An icon bug that was introduced with Adrenaline-4.2 has been addressed.
- An issue in which the framebuffer became corrupted after loading a savestate is now fixed.
- The Adrenaline icon is now hidden in the game menu.
As you may see, all the changes are relatively minor but bug fixes are still important. Thanks to networking updaitng, you can install 6.61 Adrenaline-5 really easy so a bug fix like this should be applied ASAP.
How do I get it?
As mentioned, the easiest way is via the network update option in XMB. If you don’t have Adrenaline installed or want to re-install it for some reason, you can use Adrenaline Easy Installer by ‘Freakler’ as it makes the process very simple even if you don’t have a PSP game/demo installed.

6.61 Adrenaline-5 changelog (+ download link for manual installation): https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/Adrenaline/releases/tag/v5
Adrenaline Easy Installer version 1.14: https://github.com/Freakler/vita-AdrenalineEasyInstaller/releases/tag/v1.14
NOTE: Savestates from an older version can’t be used after updating. This can be fixed by installing Adrenaline States Manager on your PSVita and changing the version to 5.0 (Major version 5, Minor version 0) as to preserve your save states. It’s recommended you do a proper save before updating to Adrenaline-5.
Primero!
Cool.
PS1 performance seems to be back to normal with this. Much better.
Does anyone know why PS TV gives error 2000006 when trying to update via network, while my generation 1 PS Vita updates just fine? Anyway no biggie just general curiosity & as always thanks to wololo & the flow for all there hard work.
It is not only the ps1 game disc improved as that Djmax hot tunes wheel quietly
And I thought I was the only one having the “Corrupted data” icon showing in my list of games in XMB.
Thanks for the article, Aurora. Looking forward to future updates.
If I use the save from a PSP game, there is no risk to lose with the update of Adrenaline?
Thanks!
man i have ps vita sitting on 3.60. been out of the game for a while and i need to get this up and running.
Every time I see an article by Aurora, I turn AdBlock back on
Is there a way to update Adrenaline through your vita? Mine is running Adrenaline 6.61 -3.
I know within the text it says through xmb but what does it mea by that?
Open adrenaline and go to update.
built in update function of adrenaline,,
I think it only works on Adrenaline-4 or later.. you still got Adrenaline-3
screen setting for ps1 does not work. On the Vita its not a problem as Vita has this option build in but on the PS TV just a small screen in the corner. Adrenaline 5.1 maybe
nevermind, ot does not work “original ” filter. Set to bilinear or other works.
You must set the ps tv resolution to 720p if you want original setting. Is an issue from Sony ps1 emu.
adrenaline wont run ps one games after this update. gives error “this game cannot be started the data is corrupted” any fix?
brave fencer musashi (ps1) still doesn’t work, freezes after beat crest guardian, only work on ark with no sound, maybe some day it’s works properly…
Is there a way to change the hotkeys for taking Screen shots? I keeps getting the PSP Game Exit screen as a picture instead of something in game.
Can Adrenaline-5 run an official eBoot dump of a certain PSX game?
I tried placing an eBoot of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment in “ux0:/pspemu/ISO” but it shows off as corrupt whereas placing it in “ux0:/pspemu/GAME” gives nothing from the XMB menu.
Any ideas?
