Adrenaline Installation Guide

This guide will allow you to do a fresh installation of Adrenaline on your vita running HENkaku-R7 or higher.

First and foremost, before attempting to install Adrenaline, your vita must be activated.

If it still isn't, then you need to do this:
1. Make sure that your PSN spoofing is enabled, and that there is a PSN account logged in on your vita.
2. Go to Settings > PlayStation Network > System Activation > Game > Activate
3. Done.
NOTICE: As of 07/29/2017, system activation for firmware version 3.60 is impossible due to Sony's actions. For more information about this incident, click HERE.
 

Now, assuming that your vita's already activated, let's install Adrenaline!

Note: You might notice some slight differences on some of the files' file names. That's because I have been constantly updating the apps in the installer kit to provide you with the latest versions as soon as it's released. Still, the installation process is still the same so you don't have to worry. Just a heads-up.

1. Download this first.


2. Extract the contents of the RAR file to an empty folder.

3. Copy the whole folder to your vita using VitaShell's USB mode.

4. On VitaShell, under ux0:/, create a new folder named 'adrenaline'.

5. Among the files that you copied from your PC, there is a file named 661.PBP. Move that to your newly-created adrenaline folder.

6. Install the ePSP_Bubble_Installer_3.1 and AdrenalineEasyInstaller_v110.

7. Go back to your home screen. Open ePSP Bubble Installer, then follow the instructions on the screen to install an ePSP bubble.

8. Your vita will reboot, then install the ePSP bubble named BIGHEADSNOOKER.

9. Your vita restarted, right? If you're already on Enso, proceed to the next step. If you're still using Offline Installer, reinstall HENkaku first before proceeding further.

10. On your home screen, open the Adrenaline EasyInstaller. Once you're in the app, select option number 1.

11. Next, select the first option, "Install the latest Adrenaline eCFW release".

12. Select the one that you see on this picture, then choose 'Yes'.

13. Installation will commence. Once prompted, press O when asked to reboot.

14. Your vita restarted, right? If you're already on Enso, proceed to the next step. If you're still using Offline Installer, reinstall HENkaku first before proceeding further.

15. Open the Adrenaline app.

16. Follow the on-screen instructions.

17. The app will start to extract the files from the 661.PBP. Once that's done, follow the instructions on the screen.

18. Congratulations! You have successfully installed Adrenaline! Keep on reading this guide for some FAQs.
