You have a PSVita/PSTV on firmware version 3.60 to 3.73, you can turn it into a decent emulation device by installing the HENkaku homebrew enabler. If you're on the 3.60 firmware, you can obtain it [https://henkaku.xyz henkaku], for 3.65-3.73 use [https://github.com/soarqin/finalhe/releases Final h-encore]. Those on firmware versions prior to 3.60 can update manually by following the instructions [http://wololo.net/2016/08/09/manually-update-ps-vita-firmware-3-60 here]. Furthermore, on versions 3.60 and 3.65 it's possible to use a bootloader patch called Ensō, which loads HENkaku automatically at boot: [https://enso.henkaku.xyz Ensō for 3.60], [https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/enso/releases Ensō for 3.65]. It's possible to downgrade firmware version with a tool called [https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/modoru/releases modoru].

If you have a PSVita/PSTV on firmware version 3.65 to 3.74, you can turn it into a decent emulation device by installing the HENkaku homebrew enabler. You can obtain it on the [http://jailbreak.psp2.dev HENlo website], which doubles as a guide and an actual homebrew enabler. After it's installed, you can also use tools such as [https://vitadb.rinnegatamante.it/#/info/205 Vita Homebrew Browser] to install homebrew directly on your PS Vita/PSTV.

Emulated ~
For software that emulates the PS Vita, see PlayStation Vita emulators.

If you have a PSVita/PSTV on firmware version 3.65 to 3.74, you can turn it into a decent emulation device by installing the HENkaku homebrew enabler. You can obtain it on the HENlo website, which doubles as a guide and an actual homebrew enabler. After it's installed, you can also use tools such as Vita Homebrew Browser to install homebrew directly on your PS Vita/PSTV.

Emulators via Adrenaline[edit]

Adrenaline is a software that modifies the official PSP Emulator using taiHEN CFW framework to make it run a PSP 6.61 custom firmware. Thanks to the power of taiHEN, Adrenaline can inject custom code into the IPL which allows unsigned code to run at boottime. You can use PSP Homebrew Browser to install homebrew to run through Adrenaline.
