Yifan Lu Announces HENKaku - A New Native Vita Homebrew Enabler for 3.60.
Earlier today, Yifan Lu, a well-known member of the Vita hacking scene famous for the Rejuvenate hack for the Dev Assistants, has announced that a new (native!) Vita homebrew enabler for the latest firmware version, as of writing (3.60), will be arriving tomorrow at "9:00AM UTC".
The new hack, known as "HENKaku", will require the following:
- A Vita/PSTV running 3.60
- A memcard with at least 10MB of free space (internal memory is currently not supported!)
- An FTP client
- An internet connection**
This is a small paragraph of Yifan Lu himself explaining what the properties of this new homebrew enabler does:
HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. It installs molecularShell, a fork of VitaShell that lets you access the memory card over FTP and install homebrew packages (which we create as VPK files). With vita-toolchain, developers have access to the same system features licensed developers have access to as well as undocumented features that licensed developers cannot use (including overclocking the processors).
The hack has been released at http://henkaku.me ~ Furthermore, the hack is said to be exclusive to 3.60, and there is to be no backports for the time being.
