Emulators on Vita
Revision as of 07:09, 19 August 2016 by Random Encounter (talk | contribs) (New article, this could use a look-over and some cleaning up.)
In order to use emulators on your Vita or PlayStation TV, you must be on version 3.60 firmware to install the HENkaku homebrew enabler. Those with firmware revisions prior to 3.60 can update to 3.60 using the instructions provided here. There are currently no CFW and homebrew solutions for firmware versions 3.61 and above at this time. Because of the Vita's backwards compatibility with the PSP, the Emulators on PSP article also applies here.
