Checking out how to install CFW now, haven’t seen everything that can be done yet though.
Can you recommend a good resource for homebrew etc?
Apps are available as .vpk files. There is a database.

Mostly I install stuff with the app-store style browser for that repository though, not manually downloading the files.
The actual modding process is extremely streamlined nowadays.
Wait, so if I factory restore and update it, I can install CFW straight from the browser?!
Yup
Also, guide site: https://guide.psp2.dev/
https://retrogamecorps.com/2021/04/27/ps-vita-guide/
Somewhat exhaustive but I think this is a good resource
While I do like that content creator, if you’re hacking you should use the vita.hacks.guide as even he references in the first paragraph
RGC is great about showing everything you can do once you’re done installing CFW.
