VHBB stands for Vita Homebrew Browser. In my opinion, this is the best app for the PS Vita beside Henkaku. It made my life so much easier when installing Homebrews for my Vita and I'm sure other Vita users will love this too.

As it states in the name, this app is like the Apple Store for IOS or Play Store for an Android device. Once you open it, you can check the different apps that are mostly open source, view some images of the app and install it without needing to go to a computer. It's an all in one app which makes it very famous and very important.

So, let me guide you on how to install and use it.

Requirements

In order for the Vita to use the homebrew browser, it needs to be on a firmware 3.60 with installed Henkaku and/or Vitashell.

You can check out these 2 previous posts of mine on how to install them.

Browsing VHBB

Installing is pretty easy right? Now, let's take a look at the app and see what we got inside..

Once launched, there would be 2 loading pages.

This one is a page of Gekihen, the website who created the contest in which this app won for best utility app.

And then a simple page that shows the app.

Here is the interface of the app once the loading is finished. It takes about 5 to 10 seconds to load.

Installing an App

Let's go ahead and install an app in VHBB.

• First you tap the category, in this case, utilities and you'll see a list of app that you can choose.

• Let's tap the manga downloader app and you will see that there's a brief description of what the app can do and some times they also have screenshots. It will always show the latest version available and the name of the developer.

• This is what would show once you tap the download button, depending on the size of the file, it could take from a few seconds to a few minutes to download an app.

• Once the download is done, the new app will show in the home screen of your vita and you can now use that app without needing to go to a computer, very easy right? Congratulations on successfully installing an app.

The Vita Homebrew Browser is a must for every PS Vita owner. It gives so much power to your console and saves you a tremendous amount of time.
