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

no.

if this happens, people will pirate games, which will lead to lower video game sales. Lower video game sales means that developers will less likely invest in the Vita, since sales are low.

Less developers means less games, and less games means vita is dead.
Regardless of piracy, sales are already low. :|

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even Vita may die.
 
I wonder when the next Vita firmware update even is. Sony is kind of slow sometimes with these things. Hopefully the next game will be a decent game I wouldn't mind buying anyways.

Well it depends but I would say within 2 weeks of an exploit found. First they remove the game from PSN which gives them time to roll out the patch days later.

Im gonna say the next FW 1.82 will be here soon to block the Urbanix Mini exploit. Then around a month Urbanix will return on the store. But this new FW update wont block the new exploit being released (tuesday according to Wololo) so there will be another FW update soon after to block that aswell.

Heh, I don't have a Vita (yet) but I had already gotten LBP PSP for free after the PSN thing in 2011, so i'm downloading just in case.
 
I have now seen three games "leaked" as the new exploit, and two of them had screencaps from the forums (LBP PSP and Free Running PSP).

I don't know what to think. Maybe they are releasing fake game names to try to find out who is leaking info? Seems like that would just cause a lot of confusion, though.

Yep, now it's getting messy.

The group might be releasing fake names to see who's been leaking stuff (Urbanix was leaked well before the group officially announced it).

DRAMA

I have LBP PSP, what now?

Download it right now for the exploit release. If you don't, Sony will take it down even if you own it for "security reasons."

As CS players would say: GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO to the PSN store and download it NAO.

Never mad a quicker purchase. Thanks for the heads up.

Hah, exactly. I've been kicking myself for choosing that until now.


Someone should alert Aeana.
 
Will future fw updates render all the developments useless? I don't wanna end up in a situation like with the PS3, having 2 handhelds.

Yes, for the foreseeable future anyway.

And again I would err on the side of caution. If only one of these is real, it wouldn't surprise me if it was the Mini, but we'll see.
 
what does this let me do, and what do I give up by doing it? I.e am I likely to lose PSN access eventually and have to skip FW updates? This isn't like the PSP where I can pretty easily live without online. With trophies and better online support (eg LBP), I don't think I could live without PSN

So i guess Sony will be pulling all PSOne, PSP, and PSMini games soon so they can check them all one by one.
 
Does custom FW mean I cant sync trophies? I'm not sure if I can live without trophies. Need my Platinums

Once Sony updates the firmware->No syncing until they get around the block or update the firmware to match the OFW call.

You're doing this at your own risk.
 
How easy is it to switch to official?

Since this is just the PSP lite CFW in the PSP emulator/sandbox in theory it should be easy to remove by simply rebooting the system, similar to the lite CFW's of the PSP.

Great! Now, if I ever acquire more money than sense, I might actually buy a Vita!
 
Guys, all signs point to it being the Mini. LBP and Free Running (which isn't even on US PSN) were just smokescreens.

So, um...download the $1.99 Mini.

Such intrigue over a relatively minor exploit, these Wololo guys :-p

Thank you for posting this. You're awesome.

Downloaded both. Is this confirmed. I'm searching google and can't find mention of this anywhere.

That's the one I bought -- cause I'm not in the business of buying random $20 games on a hope and prayer. :)

What signs are pointing to it, though?
 
you guys are gonna be really happy with the PSP/homebrew stuff.

if they fix the sleep mode crashing PSP games, even better.

welcome to the party.
 
So who posted that Little Big Planet PSP was also exploited?

I really hope both were exploited as lots of people have LBP PSP, and more importantly that icon looks much better than the icon for Mad Blocker Alpha.
 
Question: is there a Japanese version of Mad Blocker on that store?
