1.69 or 3.18

Post by yunneg »

Hi All,
My Vita is at FW1.69 for a long time, it's fine for PSP, PS1 and I could even play some favorite vita games, but now I have to make a choice as there some vita game that required fw higher than 1.69. I am not a dev, but someone (it's wololo) said that fw<2.0 may have a higher chance for native hack, so could someone give me an advice?
Did I lose something when updating my vita to 3.18?

Thanks in advance!

I can't even access the psn store using charles proxy or vitaupdatebloacker. I would stay on your current firmware and get a new vita. I think the lower the firmware the better the chance for a native hack.

Get a second vita or sell your current one to someone who could make good use of it and then buy another one.
you can also try your luck and join the hacking community. you might enjoy it.

1.69 is much much better for hacking, so if you want to do any of the hard work yourself, 1.69 is a much better path. If you are not looking to do much work yourself, upgrade and play games. If you want to sell your 1.69 to a dev who could use it, even better.

thanks for the advice but I wont buy a 2nd vita. I have 3ds, PS3 and PC also, there are not much exl. titles on vita to make me buy a second one. And this is a limited edition, I love it, so could not sell too. :D
I love to join the hacking community, but as i said, im not a developer, so noway.

Thanks, that's What i need. Now i understand. 1.69 is better for a hacker, not for user. Ok now I am going to update it to 3.18. Thanks much!

I think the hope is that hackers with lower firmware will have a better chance of finding a native kxploit that will work on all current firmware. I dont think your average consumer has to worry about having a 1.XX vita unless they want to help in the search or sell their vita to a dev. I know davee was looking for a <2.00

I know Davee loocking for a <2.00, but I am from Vietnam, It's complicated and expensive to sell vita to him. And I dont think someone in Vietnam would like to buy my vita for hacking. So I think update to 3.18 is the good choice for me.
