PS Vita: VitaShell 2.03 (unofficial) released by Yoti, adds 3.74 firmware support
Scene developer Yoti has released a fork of VitaShell today. This release brings support for PS Vita Firmware 3.74, which was released to everyone’s surprise a few months ago.
As a reminder, Modoru was recently updated to support 3.74, for those looking to downgrade instead.
What is VitaShell for PS Vita?
VitaShell is the most popular homebrew utility for the PSVita since it’s installed on almost every HENkaku-enabled PSVita/PSTV. It was originally developed by TheFloW and it won the PS Vita Revitalize competition as it was determined “Best homebrew” back in 2015. Now, it’s become a Swiss Army knife for the PSVita since it can do many things such as:
- Install packages (including homebrew)
- Let you start an FTP server to copy files to your Vita. You may also use it to copy files to your Vita via USB from your computer.
- Read QR codes and even install VPKs from them if they lead to one.
- Sort/Delete/Create files and folders.
- Extract and create ZIP files.
- Read and display various files such as music files (MP3), pictures, SFO files and much more.
- Use themes for maximum customization
- Many other features!
