Enable Remote Play on PS Vita without PSN
Remote Play on PS Vita requires you to sign-in to the PlayStation Network which is not possible with 3.60 HENkaku unless you spoof your firmware. However, spoofing firmware doesn’t work for everyone and can leave some consoles entirely unable to use Remote Play with their PS4. This guide will show you how to enable Remote Play on your PS Vita without signing in to the PSN and create a local Remote Play connection between your Vita and PS4.
