Vita "hacked," (PSP) homebrew on the way (not piracy)

Well, that might be a sign, then. At least I know there's a live one in case I regret updating now, so I have nothing to lose.
That is a usermode exploit. The best they can do with a usermode exploit is Half Byte Loader. They can't make the PSP custom firmware like they did the with last couple exploits unless they have a kernel exploit.

Can I download that straight to my Vita or do I need to download and copy it from my PS3?
PS. Thanks for the heads-up
Download it to your Vita

HACK PS Vita : le jeu exploitant la faille en 2.06 connu !

Hack PS Vita
Via son blog, Wololo a dévoilé le jeu permettant d'utiliser le VHBL sur le dernier firmware de la PlayStation Vita, le 2.06.
Après avoir eu le droit à des annonces diverses de la part de développeurs amateurs, nous avons pu apprendre qu’un développeur français au pseudo de TomTomDu80 avait trouvé une faille exploitable. Cette faille présente dans un jeu du PlayStation Store permet de lancer le VHBL pour profiter profiter de l’underground sur sa PS Vita via le lancement d’homebrews notamment.
Le nom du jeu exploité sur la dernière version système de notre console portable, le firmware 2.06, est Apache Overkill. Ce jeu fait parti des miniS disponibles dès maintenant pour un prix plutôt bas.
Les fichiers pour exploiter et utiliser la faille sur le firmware 2.06 de la PS Vita seront révélés dans quelques jours, après que Sony ait retiré son jeu vidéo du PlayStation Store. En attendant, si vous désirez profiter de la faille, rendez-vous sur le PlayStation Store !

Ah, I see. I was going insane trying to figure out what I was missing. Thank you.

So wait, Should I take a chance with Apache Overkill? Are PSP rips still possible? I just wanna play BBS on my Vita, after that I don't care since it will release on glorious HD.
Also while having the CFW game and whatnot on Vita is it safe to connect to PSN and buy games ect?

Does this work on the latest firmware?

Ever since the webstore became available these type of problems have gone away.

I think I'm going to update and grab this. But only if it's the kernal exploit.
Edit: This doesn't sound like a kernal exploit. This just sounds like a user-mode exploit for the homebrew loader. So basically it isn't possible to load PSP titles on it?
Edit: Which... it doesn't sound like. And :lol at the French translation basically being "buy it and then wait for instructions on what it does!
!"No, how about you tell me if it does full or is just yet another homebrew loader "exploit" that isn't full access to the sandbox instead of a pie-in-the-sky approach?
Pretty sure it's just an user-mode exploit, most likely this one which got posted recently

Bought it just in case. Gotta take a gamble. After I'd be done with BBS I'd delete the stuff anyway to keep playing dat + content.

Oh? What does that mean? What's the difference?
Kernal exploit: homebrews + ISOs
User-mode exploit: homebrews only

I see. Thanks for clarifying.
It's an exploit to run Half Byte Loader. It's for this release:
http://wololo.net/2013/03/16/vita-hack-tomtomdu80-confirms-his-vhbl-port-will-be-released/
You won't be able to run any PSP custom firmware and you won't be able to load PSP ISOs. It's just going to be for the homebrew launcher.

If I have a vita with CFW but I want to upload games from the PSN store... there is currently no way, right? OpenCMA only helps with save games and stuff like that, but not vita (not psp) games, correct?
Prior to the Uno exploit I was able to, but I haven't tried since with future ones since that was released. The trick was to configure OpenCMA to think it's the Vita is on the latest version, do "Connect to PC" on the Vita, unplug it from the PC and plug it straight into the PS3. I guess it figures it's already bypassed the version check (or something) and you should be able to copy all relevant content downloaded on the PS3 to the Vita.
But like I said, that was at least two or three months ago, things may have changed since.

Haha!
But yeah, the quagmire of hopelessness surrounding the Vita is so thick at this point that Sony would be might as well surrender to anything that might increase hardware sales.

It is, but it definitely worked when I last tried it. I think you'll need to do some ini editing and such so when the Vita checks via USB what the latest version is, it's whatever version you're running (it responds to the request locally rather than checking Sony's servers). I found all the info I needed (I think) from that Wololo site, but it was all over the place.Thanks!
Pretty convoluted, but I'll give it a shot
PS. Make sure you put airplane mode on as well, otherwise it might try checking versions over that as well as USB.

Hello. Been following Wololo's website for a bit, and i'm curious as to my current options.
I'd like to play me some Guacamelee and keep iso and homebrew functionality. by the way, Cave Story is amazing.
I am currently on 1.80 with the MHFU exploit and i'm considering updating to 2.10 in order to be able to play Guacamelee.
I'm thinking i should go the route of the following:
1. install TN-V v3
2. update to 2.10
3. buy guacamelee, install and profit.
4. wait for the next 2.10 exploit, which is hopefully not too far down the road?
i'm guessing i cannot install TN0v without a copy of the unpatch Uno, not the current version of uno on the PSN. looks like i'll have to skip step one above and forego iso and homebrew functionality for a few months.
by the way, anyone with experience as to ARK vs CEF TN in terms of pros and cons?
ARK and TN-V are both kernel exploits that have homebrew and iso functionality, correct?

Might as well get another PSP then. Right now, there's no way to play PSP ISOs on a Vita unless you have a system with an older firmware and one of the older exploits. Right now, there are only one or two known kernel exploits for Vita and those are being kept secret by the developers who have the exploits.

Haven't really been following this, upgraded to TN-V v3 yesterday. Pretty neat having the XMB on there.
Having problems running anything that's not a game though. Most importantly FTP, it always seems to crash the whole CEF during transfers and kick me back to the Vita menu. Tried gpSP kai and it crashed quickly too. Games seem to work fine.
Any ideas what would cause this?
Edit: This topic is so dead. Anyway the problem seems to be that all homebrew crashes in v3, and v4 is supposed to fix it whenever that gets released. So people seem to recommend using v2 until then.

Ironic.
If Soul Sacrifice requires anything above the Kernal Exploit firmwares, yes. Homebrew Loader apparently works with the latest firmware but isn't available at the moment.

Meaning PSP emulation?
PSP homebrew only. Half Byte Loader is just a homebrew loader.
No, that gates been closed for a while. Unless they specifically mention it, it's just a Homebrew Loader.

Too bad. I'd love to use Vita exclusively but what can ya do.

What did he say?
Wait... wasn't the reason the last exploitable game was skipped was due to it only being available in Europe and Australia? That's pretty poor form if so.
VHBL game announced:http://wololo.net/2013/07/20/exploitable-game-for-ps-vita-2-12-announced-vhbl/
Gamocracy One: Legend of Robot ($3.99 on the US PSN)
US PSN only.
VHBL only, will not be able to run PSP isos. Just homebrew/emulators.
If you're interested get it before it's taken off the store.

All I want is to play Crisis Core on a vita
You'd need to connect to PSN anyways to get the exploitable game, which would update it
