Unlocking the ePSP on the PlayStation Vita has been an awesome feature many modified Vita owners have been using thanks to Adrenaline.

This tutorial is lengthy, but it will show you how to copy all the required files needed to your Vita, install Adrenaline from scratch, install ARK-4 eCFW, and a few extra bonuses to make your ePSP experience smoother going forward.
