This video shows how you can install a VHBL bubble on your PS Vita devices running any firmware. Even the latest 3.65 firmware can run PSP homebrew like emulators once you have installed VHBL.
UPDATE EDIT: As of July 2018, all PS VITA firmware 3.68 & lower can now run PS Vita homebrew thanks to new H-Encore release, and once you have h-encore you can also install Adrenaline which allows for basically all PSP & PS1 games to launch as back ups, as well as all psp homebrew to run, it's pretty much better all around than VHBL or ARK-2. So check out H-encore & adrenaline videos instead!

Half byte loader is the only way of running homebrew on a Vita or PSTV running 3.65 firmware, since ARK-2 has been patched out of the latest firmware version.
I will be uploading another video tomorrow showing how you can install emulators in VHBL, as well as showing how to get Gameboy Advance emulation working as I know alot of the ARK-2 users running 3.63 firmware have been struggling with this process.
PSVimgtools GUI Download links are on this page:

VHBL download link:
(No longer required, PSVimgtoolsGUI will create this folder for you in a future step, I recommend not download these files anymore unless you are an advanced user doing something different with VHBL)

If you don't have QCMA installed on your computer yet, you can download it from here:

Once you have VHBL installed on your Vita, you can then install some emulators. My next upload will show how this works, but in the mean time here is a link to download PSP homebrews if you already know how to install them:

If you keep getting the error code shown at the end of this video, even after rebuilding the database, you can try the following steps:
Make sure your PSP game has been backed up to PC successfully and is on your PC so you can restore it as many times as you need.
First delete your VHBL \ PSP base game from your Vita home screen.
Reboot your Vita.
On the PC with PSVimgtools GUI, run the VHBL easy installer into your PSP backup again.
Then refresh QCMA database, and this time restore both your PSP game to the Vita, as well as the VHBL folder from psp save data.
Restore both of these
(The VHBL folder in save data gets a fresh copy created \ updated when VHBL easy installer process happens)
Then try run your VHBL game on the Vita, and if you get the same error, try the db rebuild from safe mode again.
This has helped many viewers get VHBL running after they encountered the error code. I wish I knew what triggered it for some users and not others, but alas, it is a mystery to me.
