Support NeoGAF

[chaosblade]

I am realllly going back and forth on this. It'd be nice to be able to play my umd games and gba emulation, but how finnicky is this hack?

Is it a smooth operation or is it rather buggy?

Well, TN-V3 was super buggy and is basically unusable for anything other than running PSP games. The other versions were fine and V4 should fix the problems in V3. Hopefully it will also finally add audio for PS1 games, but that was being worked on by someone else and may or may not be ready, we won't know until we see the change log.

I assume this is going to work like V3, so you would download 6.60 from Sony and it will modify and install that, so you get the familiar XMB and everything.

I don't have a Vita right now, but does anyone know if I buy this game on the computer through SEN if it will download the file to my PC so I can save it for later or do you need to have a Vita connected to the service?

Do you have a PS3? Pretty sure you can DL it to that and transfer from there later.

IIRC they removed this functionality in a firmware update.

 

[Like the hat?]

So will psp homebrew run any smoother on a vita, or exactly the same?

Exactly the same.

But *dat OLED.

 

[coopolon]

Alright, bought it and downloading now. Isn't it strange Sony hasn't taken it down yet? Makes me worried they know there's not a problem.

 

[cardinalmind]

Exactly the same. But with bilinear filtering. and the ability to use the right stick if a game supports it

They took their sweet time the last time around as well. The last exploit (UNO) actually topped the monthly PSP sales charts so maybe they just want to sell some copies of those games ┐(´ ～`&#65307┌

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Are the various emulators still good with the 32 mb of ram restriction? I'm thinking of using this to play some GBA games like FF5A, but I'm on 3.01.

Has there really been no exploits since UNO? Wow. That was my only exploit up until now.

With UNO the problem must've been that it was Xmas so there was nobody at work to take it down.

Only VHBL exploits as far as I know. Didn't bother with those and I won't bother with the current one either I don't think.

In other news, we may get homebrew on the Wii U too.

That's a fucking terrible source.

Still worked for me as of last week.

My mistake.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Wololo has made a new article confirming King of Pool will work perfectly with the exploit .

 

[stryke]

megamix has now been removed from every store except NA. Should soon follow...

 

[chaosblade]

That certainly took a while. Hopefully the files go up soon.

Its okay if we've already bought it right? Removing it from the store wont stop me from downloading it? I'm trying, but its going super slowly unfortunately

I'm not sure but aslong as it's still downloading you should be fine I think, if you haven't downloaded it so far Sony might have removed it from your download list already

It's downloading right now, but I am about to go and not bringing my Vita would be pretty boring for where I am going to go...

Could I pause the download and resume it when I get back? If not letting it download would risk the exploit then I will certainly leave it, but if I can take it offline for a little while and be safe then I'd prefer to do that.

I sadly can't answer that, I was never in a situation where Sony removed something while the download was still running :/ Technically aslong as the file still exists on the server the download should resume but that's all I can say D:

 

[Tagg9]

Is the game gone from the store? I don't see it.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Yeah it's gone :/

 

[JudgeN]

Did they fix the audio problems in PS1 games? Probably going to stay on 1.80 Uno and buy another Vita for updated goodness.

Not yet. But I sure hope it is coming soon.

 

[B.K.]

I wouldn't count on it ever being fixed.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Are you serious? I swear Wololo said some guys were working on it. And there's that video of Coldbird who got it working perfectly, but never released it.

 

[chaosblade]

Yeah, Coldbird came back and he shared his code with TN, and this was at least 6 months ago.

Wonderful. We will see it eventually then! .

A surprise with TNV-4 perhaps?

 

[Zapperkhan]

Yeah it's gone :/

Hmmm, I bought it but never downloaded it and it's not in any of my download lists, only transaction log and I can't download it from there. Guess I'm screwed. Anything else I can do?

 

[RaikuHebi]

You're screwed. Your last chance is to get a second Vita, update to 3.00 and buy King of Pool.

 

[Firehead]

Huh... Well, that's horribly lame. I wonder if there's a way to get Sony to refund it? >_>

 

[coopolon]

I think once they have fixed the bug they will put the game back up.

Can't get Open CMA to work. I always have a hell of a time with that thing.

Hmm what's wrong with it for you? :/

 

[B.K.]

Hmm what's wrong with it for you? :/

Every time I try to connect my Vita to my PC, it says I need to update the Vita's firmware.

 

[bakedpony]

If I have the old Gravity Crash exploit and updated to 3.01, will the CFW still work or are the new exploit games required for 3.01?

 

[B.K.]

I finally got Open CMA working. I had to reboot the Vita after turning off wi-fi to get it to work.

As far as I know you will need new games as the exploits get patched on a firmware level

I finally got Open CMA working. I had to reboot the Vita after turning off wi-fi to get it to work.

Oh yeah OpenCMA doesn't seem to like Wi-Fi at all :/

 

[Schrade]

CEF TN-V4 is released.

It's on HackInformer.com

 

[chaosblade]

Anybody tried the update option in settings in V3? Wonder if that's working, would be easier than reinstalling completely.

 

[RaikuHebi]

CEF TN-V4 is released.

Omg yes and even the King of Pool version too:

http://wololo.net/2013/12/17/release-tn-v4-for-ps-vita-3-01-and-below/

Wow that wait wasn't as long as I expected. I thought they wouldn't realise it till Christmas.

God it's so weird. 2 weeks ago I sacrificed my UNO Exploit to get Remote Play on my Vita. Without even blinking I already have it hacked again lool.

EDIT: Works great with King of Pool. PS4 Remote Play and PSP Custom Firmware together! Didn't have to wait long at all .

 

[Skyfireblaze]

I'm running TN-V4 now too though one question, how do I install VitaFTP? I'm really clueless as to install homebrew with the full-sized PSP XMB

[How to install ZIPs]
* Create an ZIP archive of a homebrew, saved as: "XXXXXXXX.ZIP/PSP/GAME/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/EBOOT.PBP", where 'XXXXXXXX' is the name of the archive and 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' of your homebrew.
* Save the archive in the savedata folder where you can find 'TN.BIN' and 'FLASH0.TN'. The file must be UPPER CASE LETTER and max. 8 characters long.
(In example: MYZIP.ZIP)
* Transfer the savedata to your PS Vita using CMA. Ensure that the savedata is at least as big as your ZIP archive is.
* Launch your exploit game and boot the VSH, then select 'Memory Stick' in the 'Game' column.
* Press triangle on the homebrew and select 'Install' to extract the contents to your Memory Card.
* The homebrew doesn't appear directly. You first have to close the game menu, select something else, and then reopen it.

 

[chaosblade]

Every exploit has gotten worse for me. This one is slow and requires more input.

And unfortunately the system update option didn't seem to work.

 

[Lime]

Oh it's so great to be playing my old PSP games on the Vita.

 

[Dega]

nvm

 

[RaikuHebi]

For those that missed out they've announced a new Ninja Release for 3.01.

 

[Muffin Awesome]

This wouldn't give access to a home brew like a hex editor for Vita games correct? It is locked to apps only in "PSP" mode right?
