PS Vita Release – Memecore: h-encore for older firmware (3.60)
Yesterday, CelesteBlue released Memecore, a port of h-encore for older firmware 3.60. Support for 3.5x firmwares is scheduled for the days to come.
Memecore is the successor of memekaku, that enabled us to install henkaku on older firmware such as 3.55. This release announces the end of memekaku support and a new way of exploiting your PS Vita (using the h-encore exploit) so it’s more reliable than memekaku. And guess what? You can also use it on 3.60 so now you have both the browser exploit and the h-encore exploit.
If you have problems using the web browser to install henkaku, you can now count on memecore. This release enables us to rediscover old exploits such as rejuvenate, failmail, TN-V while keeping HENkaku, but will also helps developers to reverse engineer old firmwares. This release was possible thanks to the latest release of h-encore 2.0, which has updated the kernel ROP chain to use gadgets that are also available on lower firmware so it is easier to port it to said firmware.
The developer credits TheFloW for h-encore exploit and Princess of Sleeping for cross-FW offsets porting

Oh, it’s you.
Nice post though.
Hi all, i was out of the scene for a while.
I have a psvita with 3.60 with henkaku installed with 8gb memory stick.
I purchased the sd vita adpter
What is the best firmware to stay on now?
And if someone can indicate a guide to follow would be appreciated.
Best regards
Paolo
I’de say stay on that 3.60, just make it work with your sd2vita
Today on 3.60 you can run any game you want using repatch and/or ref00d 🙂
thanks a lot!
Hello, i got a Problem, i downgraded fromm 3.68 to 3.65 and I wanted to install enso but its only telling me ‘success’ after I Presse circle. No permanent hack was installed and I still have a Stock psvita After reboot. I installed enso on the Vita mem card
Simply downgrade to 3.60 and install enso. No need to be on 3.65 now with reF00D
I don’t get it either. Choice between enso and encore it’s enso as it’s permanent
Vita sdk is meant for 3.60, so in 3.60 you have a better compatibility with plugins, dev need to use fancy hacks to make them work on 3.65
The best fw is as Yfanlu told us, 3.60
do you mean golden firmware?
Great. Can’t wait for the support of 3.18/3.20 next. I still have Vita IDU on 3.18, it would be nice to be able to switch it to retail mode and back.
