h-encore² from TheFloW is the latest homebrew enabler for Vita consoles of all variants for any firmware from 3.65 to 3.74. This modification allows you to install and launch third party homebrew games, applications, load kernel plugins, and truly unlock the full potential of the Vita. This tutorial will show you how to update to firmware 3.65 if you are on an earlier version and how to install h-encore²!
Although this video is demonstrated on firmware 3.72 this method was not patched in the 3.74 firmware update. This means this tutorial and all the same programs can be used on firmware 3.74! Due to this, the tutorial will not be updated, due to the tools and methods being the same as long as FinalHE v1.92 or higher is used.
Thanks to HENkaku's version spoofing you can still get online while retaining an older firmware, so once your console is modified this should not be much of an issue. If you are on firmware 3.65 you also have the opportunity to install Ensō to make your custom firmware apply on boot as opposed to running h-encore on every bootup!

Another look at the Switch hardware, this time around doing a partial teardown of the Joy-Con controllers to replace the analog sticks/joysticks and eliminate the dreaded Joy-Con drift. Although the issue is with the sticks themselves, this will at least mitigate the issue for a while with a nice fresh part installed. Thankfully this process isn't too difficult, but having the proper tools on hand will be paramount in eliminating the dreaded drift!

After installing a few modchips myself I decided to delve into the world of PIC programming and learned how to burn a readily available hex file onto a PIC! If you're burning multiple chips this can be a more cost effective approach compared to buying pre-made ones, but getting it all set up is a bit of a pain. Thankfully I went through all the pain myself and decided to make this tutorial to help out anyone else who might be interested in doing this!

With new firmware updates comes a new build of PS3HEN as well as a new Hybrid Firmware (HFW) update! PS3HEN can easily be updated if your console is connected to the internet, but a new HFW update must be manually installed from a USB drive. This tutorial will show you how to update your PS3HEN console to a higher HFW update and reinstall the latest version of PS3HEN.
Although this tutorial was recorded with 4.86 all of the software needed has been updated to 4.89 meaning the steps will be the exact same. The only difference being a 4.89 HFW will need to be utilized as opposed to 4.86 HFW shown in this video. It is assumed you have already installed PS3HEN on your console and have the basic understanding of how to use it prior to watching this tutorial.
As a final warning directly from the PS3Xploit team themselves: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ENABLE FSM (Factory Service Mode) OR INSTALL CCAPI ON A PS3 WITH PS3HEN!

Sometimes it helps to unbox something late, doesn't it? I bought these Darkplates 1.0 when dbrand still had them for sale and kept them to the side to install on another PS5. Between then and now dbrand has stopped producing and selling these original Darkplates, however they have been succeeded by the Darkplates 2.0. There's something particularly awesome about these original Darkplates, so I figured we'd take a look at these FORBIDDEN Darkplates for the PS5!
