psp2hfw a set of tools and guides for running a hybrid firmware (HFW) on the Playstation Vita console.
It utilise of 0syscall6 and enso_ex which patched syscall 6 of Vita lv0 secure kernel. 0syscall6 makes it possible to do things that normal Vita cannot do. And by modifying the boot loader level to read the OS,
- vs0 - Storage location for OS data such as system apps and main shell.
- os0 - Location for main OS files including kernel libraries, user libraries, etc.
you will be able to run the data there without checks. Making it possible to boot a different firmware than the one originally specified by the bootloader.
Due to the risk of modifying os0, GC-SD adapter should be available for recovery as a preliminary preparation.
Note: This is a PoC for advanced users/developers only.

Compatibility
Currently not all firmwares can be installed on top of current base bootloaders [3.60 | 3.65]:
- Check out the issues page to know what needs to be done to increase compatibility.
- Please note that not all homebrew apps/plugins are compatible with all firmwares; HenKaku and TaiHen may be incompatible too.
Tested firmwares:
(Base 3.60) 3.61 everything works fine
(Base 3.65) 3.67 - 3.73 everything works fine
