Oh, like that. All of this have been working for quite some time however, it just wasnt released until now.
It's still up on the US store (and I just bought it for 3$) so hopefully it'll be ported

They still haven't broken out of the PSP emulation sandbox, so that would be a big "No".Many People said that some ISO is now working with ISO Loader.
So what's next Hello World - Homebrew - PSP ISO - Vita Games??
Honestly, considering what Sony suffered because of piracy last gen, I'd be stunned if anyone ever manages to break out of this sandbox or user mode to hack the Vita at Kernel level. This small stuff in the PSP level is kind of unavoidable, but I don't think many people will bother with it, since a Vita without PSN is only half a Vita...

Did 3DS get hacked yet? Why not?
I just looked, Urbanix still there for me at 2.99 on NA store.

But you can do that on a far cheaper PSP........
Unless you're actually willing to support Vita SW.

I got the FB code but didn't get Urbanix.
I wanted to replay BBS FM and this seemed to be a nice chance
Luckily it will get hacked again. PSP mode seems to be as vulnerable as always.

Nope, not yet. It is not hacked yet because of good security, or the people who try it arent able to find any good exploits. Only time will tell how long it will take before the 3DS and Vita are hacked.
Depends if AC:L will work without the latest firmware.
EDIT: I guess it will, i didnt know that the game was out this month.
EDIT 2: Urbanix is removed from the EU store now, i just checked.

Same, bought it 3 hours ago, i get the white flash when i load the save game but there is no ISO menu loader
, i must did something wrong.

It's only working on the EU version.

SCEA charges almost double for Vita games digitally then what the MSRP is in the store.
And doesn't price-drop the digital price of their stuff when it's been dropped for months in retail. Sup, Wipeout 2048?

Hot Shots Golf 6
PSN $35.99
Retail: $19.99
Again, that is MSRP. Not any sale at any certain store. Although, this game is currently $9.99 on Amazon right now.
Really? I hope someone ports it to work with the American version of the game. I read about the custom firmware this morning and had just enough time to download the game before I had to leave. I didn't know it was EU only.

Thanks. Yeah, was only thinking about MSRP because sales happen different places and can only last for a limited time etc.. Is that the only game? Weird that they havnt dropped the price, they did it a long time in the EU store.
Nope. These are all MSRP for Vita games and none are reflected on PSN in North America:
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational - $19.99
Little Deviants - $19.99
ModNation Racers: Road Trip - $19.99
Reality Fighter - $19.99
Resistance: Burning Skies - $29.99
Uncharted: Golden Abyss - $39.99
Unit 13 - $29.99
Wipeout 2048 - $19.99

Almost all games are more expensive on the SCEA store. Some more than others. Uncharted is $5 above retail on PSN as well. The point is, retail is cheaper even with MSRP than digital at least in the US so it makes sense for someone to not buy the digital versions.

I see, thanks. Games that are dropped in the EU store are:
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
Little Deviants
ModNation Racers: Road Trip
Reality Fighter
The other games are priced the same as before. I'm not sure what the MSRP for these games are however.
I understand. They should change the prices on those games. Other games are cheaper digitally.
It's only a matter of time.
So people can run vita backups on it?If you check the wololo forums, apparently it is working..as of 5 minutes ago
No, homebrew and PSP backups - all those missing titles from the EU store too! Shame no PSX backups work atm, just need the missing wipeouts to be totally satisfied...hope they don't make us upgrade firmware for a while!
Not many confirmations for the USA version but it was just released (save conversion).

CRAP! I just missed out on Urbantix.
Should I update my Vita? I never installed an update and can't go onto the PSN store without updating.
Is there any harm in updating to the current firmware? Should I start buying up other cheap minis in hopes they'll be exploited?

the Urbanix hack works on 1.81 firmware apparently

Alright I have to admit this gets tempting, especially because of my two Metal Gear Ac!d UMDs staring at me... I hope this CFW will be ported to other games for the people that missed out Urbanix though
It think the folder it needs to go in is actually different for everybody. I just started Urbanix, created a save game, and then it showed up in the PSAVEDATA folder.
Yeah, you have to put into the the folder with the weird name on your pc /PSAVEDATA, and THEN run CMA. Took me like an hour to figure that out.
The hack works 100% with OFW 1.81. It was made with it in mind. The exploit has been ported to the USA version btw which is nice. Im more eager to get PSX stuff running for a few classics like Shadow Tower and a few others not on PSN, sadly its not working atm.
:cryin' right now:
:looks at dj max umd collection
There will be another game to hack yes?

Okay seeing a PSP game which isn't on PSN like that sealed the deal for me

Well given that the past exploits worked on multiple games I guess there is a chance that this one will have multiple ways too but that's only a guess

Only if that bundle contains two seperate games and not one game ("one game" as in you boot the game and get a own menu to chose between the two games).
Wololo wrote on his site that this was probably a rare case. But on the other hand, he said that this exploit would work on i.e the Monster Hunter game as well because the exploit isnt depended on a specific game. I'm not sure which statement that is most accurate, but i'd guess that there are more PSP games out there with this vulnerability.Well given that the past exploits worked on multiple games I guess there is a chance that this one will have multiple ways too but that's only a guess
And based on pervious situations, it seems that Sony cant find a way to universally block this method and that they only can do it on a game by game basis.
I think the bundle got the exploit game removed and the game got pulled off PSN completely.

I'm sad that I missed this I could have ripped all my UMD games and thrown them on my Vita. D:
