Support NeoGAF

[Leona Lewis]

once again here is the tutorial:

http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=15714

all the correct save files are in the .zip, read the readme to figure out which one to use.

Exciting news, indeed.

Sure, running PSP homebrews on Vita is fun, and VHBL is a very nice piece of work, but it’s about time we move on, isn’t it? Developer yifanlu started a new project called Usermode Vita Loader (UVLoader), it will be a homebrew loader for the PSV, basically.

Not PSP homebrews, but native PSV code, isn’t it awesome?

This project is based on a PSV exploit he found (there are no details about this for now, for obvious reasons), but it’s still in its early stages. Just a few lines of code have been written so far (you can find the code on his github), so, back to the title, developers are needed.

If you’re a developer and you want to help, fork the project on github or get in touch with yifanlu on /talk or on IRC (#vitadev on EFnet). If you’re not a developer, there’s nothing for you…yet. But it’s still an awesome news, isn’t it?

And please, avoid asking useless questions: there’s no release date yet and it doesn’t work for now, just be patient for now and let the developers do their job.

Yifan Lu will eventually post updates about this project on his blog or on twitter, so make sure to follow him.

Last but not least, congratulations to yifanlu for his Vita hack

I hope we end up with some nice custom home pages

 

[Forever]

Before 3DS? Damn.

 

[JustProgress]

Will buy

 

[MadeInBeats]

Before 3DS? Damn.

Before DSi?

 

[MatthewB92]

Damn already?

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Aha, that explains the bump in Japanese sales!

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Ruhroh.

 

[speedpop]

And it begins.

 

[dc89]

Is this actually a good thing?

 

[1-D_FTW]

If it becomes the greatest emulation machine ever created, I'm in.

 

[alr1ght]

RIP

 

[Kyoufu]

So... sacrifice PSN for homebrew?

 

[Derrick01]

Vita had a....not so good run.

 

[Stabby McSter]

does that mean i can play doom

 

[Damon Bennet]

YES! I really wanted this to happen, since vita was announced. Imagine the emulator possibilities.

 

[Gospel]

fuuck.

 

[Cade]

Note that, in theory, this won't allow piracy (yet), so it might not be THAT bad. Still, more Sony resources devoted to fixing these leaks just sucks.

 

[Flunkie]

rolling in its grave

 

[wonzo]

vita purchase redeemed

 

[Grisby]

So this is the first road to piracy right?

:/

Ah.

 

[Drago]

:O

This could be gooood

 

[Kokonoe]

It has begun. I expect DS emulators.

 

[antonz]

Vita sales to skyrocket in short order

 

[Htown]

Is this actually a good thing?

Of course it is.

 

[H_Prestige]

B-b-b-but proprietary cards!

 

[Wario64]

Vita dead

 

[Zeranium]

Well now...

 

[Chopper]

Oh shit. Chin up Sony.

 

[Dark Stalkers]

time to buy a vita then

Spoiler

no it isn't

 

[- J - D -]

Is this actually a good thing?

Tricky. Some will say they are excited solely because of homebrewing opportunities, but it's not hard to see what this news really riles up.

 

[Takao]

RIP

.

 

[Venfayth]

Vita saved

 

[Carl]

Is this actually a good thing?

No. It means Sony will start releasing firmware updates every week to combat it.

 

[JudgeN]

Will I soon be able to move my ripped PSP ISO/PS1 ISO to my vita without having to rebuy my shit digitally? Yes please!

 

[No_Style]

Vita had a....not so good run.

Was going to post the usual but this is actually the correct assessment.

 

[grimshawish]

Why are people obsessed with doing this with Sony products? Its not like the pretence that games consoles are the best tech hold up any more; and with a wide range of PC's/Tablets/Phones it all seem like a massive waste of time.

Bit sad really.

 

[demosthenes]

But it’s still an awesome news, isn’t it?

No.

NO.

NO.

NO!

 

[Router]

Bring on the portable dreamcast emulation!

 

[Ran rp]

Sony am shitting pants.

 

[donkey show]

remote play everything!

 

[Palette Swap]

If this lets me use my PSP/PS1 games without rebuying them, I'll get a Vita.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Vita dead

Vita resurrected. Software isn't selling on the thing to begin with. How can piracy destroy what wasn't there. This will move units if the homebrew/emulation is there. That OLED screen and buttons? Imagine.

 

[darkressurection]

No, you are supposed to crack the one that actually has region locking first! Seriously though, weird that Vita was cracked before 3DS.

 

[kadotsu]

I'm torn. P4G Undub vs lots of piracy fucking up the platform. Lets hope it takes some time to get going.

3DS is making progress. They decrypted the FW a few weeks ago.

 

[Alebrije]

So its time to get a Vita before next ones come Locked...

 

[Massa]

An exploit's been found, that doesn't mean much. Dozens of exploits were found on each current console.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Depending on what this could do for emulators I might just buy it.

 

[Forever]

At least this ensures a use for the device for many years to come, no matter what official support looks like.

 

[Brera]

Topics like this are reasons why GAF need a "like" button!

 

[kamspy]

If it becomes the greatest emulation machine ever created, I'm in.

Yep. First thing I thought. For the price it's a great amount of mobile processing power. And that AMOLED. Great to hear people can finally really use it now. I'm in.
