To start I’m going to talk about one of the best setups I have seen in a while for this system. In the short time, it has been being worked on it shows just what can be done on a Henkaku enabled PS Vita/PSTV.
RetoArch
RetroArch is the official reference frontend for the libretro API.
RetroArch is most popularly known for being a program with which you can play many emulators and games, which have all been customized and tailor-ported to the libretro API.
It is designed to be fast, lightweight, and portable. It tries to be on the cutting edge of technology in terms of technology supported as well as trying to be as backward compatible as possible, a paradoxical goal if any.
Pair that with the awesome power of the PS Vita/PSTV and Henkaku you have just about the best go to emulator for the system. It offers NES, SNES, GBA, And SEGA GENESIS just to name a few.
With nightly builds that improve and offer more and more each night this is the one to watch for a got to have emulator for Henkaku!!!
History deleter by KanadeEngel
Some of you may be fearful of using Henkaku and runninghomebrewKanadeEngel helps take that fear away with History deleter.
This handy little app allows you to remove your history so that the big bad Sony doesn’t see what your up to.
Also, should keep you safe from their ban hammers if you ever decide to update. (but I couldn’t see why you would)
Simple to use and not very large it’s well worth having on your list for sure.

CATSFC-libretro-vita v.1.3.0 by skogaby
Support for local multiplayer on PSTV using 2 connected wireless controllers. Simply connect the second controller and it will automatically work in the emulator using the same button configurations as player 1.
Support for the SNES mouse. I’ve only tested it in Mario Paint, but it seems to be working fine. Control the mouse with the left analog stick or right analog stick. Use cross, square, or L to left-click. Use circle, triangle, or R for right click.
Enable either the gamepad or the mouse using the Options tab in the menu.
With the added option of local multiplayer on PSTV using 2 connected wireless controllers this is one SNES emulator that no PSTV should be without.
It also offers some of the best sound in gameplay and the option for SNES mouse support this is a winner for all of us diehard SNES fans out there.

Well, that’s 5 of what I feel you should be looking into for your Henkaku able system but there are a few I want to mention as they have a shot of really becoming something.
An awesome idea for all of you with NVIDIA cards on your PCs. It is in alpha and needs someone to pick up the challenge of getting it to work proper.
This is a super pre-alpha. What works:
- Initial setup and pairing
- Starting steam
- Input
- 30fps
What’s missing:
- Sound
- Proper UI
- Starting apps other than steam
- 60fps 🙁 (already implemented, but I don’t want to build another set of .vpk’s — it’d be better if somebody wrote a proper configurable UI)
VitaPad v.1.0 by Rinnegatamante
Transform your PSVITA into a PC controller.
These are just a few of what Henkaku has to offer.If you would like to find all apps listed here and see more we have a nice and growing list right here in our forums, which is updated daily. forum.hackinformer.com So go check it out and see whats new and ready for you.
Thanks for reading and keep doing it for the love of the game.
With craft beer increasing in popularity with both consumers and brewers, a high number of beer brewing apps has been made available to support the brewing processes.
This article lists recommendations of apps for hobby- and craft brewers and summarizes their features.
Wort Homebrew Calculator
Only for Android – FREE
The free Wort Homebrew Calculator app offers various benefits. These include a recipe calculator, very large ingredient database, and style guidelines (original extract, alcohol content, bitterness) for many beer types. During the brewing process it is possible to add further information about the brew and the app gives insight into the resulting beer.
A special feature of this app is that in the first step it is possible to select the desired ingredients and the beer style for the brew. Afterwards the app calculates the original gravity, the bitterness (IBU), the alcohol content, and even the color of the finished beer. This beer brewing app compares these results to defined style guidelines and thereby lets its users know whether their beer will be too bitter for their selected beer style, for instance.
This feature is helpful as it gives the chance to detect potential mistakes in the selection of ingredients before starting the brewing process.
On the downside, this free brewing app does not offer any recipes. It is also only available for Android users (as of July 2017). Users who wish to access a large recipe database might be more interested in the next app.
BeerSmith Mobile Homebrewing
The BeerSmith app connects the user to thousands of recipes on the BeerSmithRecipes.com page. There is also a useful timer which indicates when the next brewing step is needed. This app offers built-in calculators for infusions, alcohol/attenuation, mash adjust, weight/volume, and carbonation.
The main benefit of this app is the variety of recipes, some of which come from experienced homebrewers. Users can comment on the recipes and rate them.
Additionally the app contains a smart feature that recalculates recipes according to the amount of liters the user wants to brew.
Brauhelfer (in German)
Reflecting the huge interest in homebrewing and craft brewing in German-speaking countries, there are many German-language apps available. The “kleiner Brauhelfer” is small but mighty.
Features include creating, managing, and tweaking recipes, and calculating the malt, hops, and yeast. To use the app users need to connect to the desktop version of “Brauhelfer” via an internet connection.
BJCP Styles
Only for iOS – FREE
The BJCP Styles app offers information on different beer styles (both 2008 and 2015). It is suitable for users who are looking for information on a particular beer style or looking for a special new beer to try out brewing. The beer styles are defined according to the Beer Judge Certification Program.
Homebrew Talk
FREE
The free Homebrew Talk app is a forum revolving around beer brewing. It covers recipes, brewing-related topics, and offers a platform for questions and answers, as well as open discussions.
Measurement app: EasyDens app
Best Homebrew Apps For Nintendo Switch
FREE
Best Homebrew Apps 3ds
The free EasyDens app connects users with the density and concentration meter EasyDens. The EasyDens density meter determines the temperature and extract content of the beer wort, and tells users when it is time for bottling. All the data is sent to the smartphone. The EasyDens app is available for iOS and Android.
See below for the different modes available:
