So no new news for those who didn't get the prior exploits :'(
There will be a new game you can get from PSN, you wont need any previous exploits.
You could even go buy a PS Vita 2000, update it to 3.00, download the game and then run the exploit.
Maybe I should have specified, there will be a new exploitable game announced soon, we do not know what it is yet.

I'm not giving up remote play for old emulators. I guess we're going to go back to a cat and mouse game?
What I am doing is get a second Vita and use that for new games/ remote play and another for emulator and psp.

In my experience, on the PS3, remote play doesn't care what firmware the Vita is on. I have played Guacamelee on my PS3 with the Vita as the controller and map screen, but am on a firmware too low to actually play Guacamelee on my Vita.

What are the benefits from using a Vita versus a PSP-3000 or PSP Go for PSP games and emulation (Besides the screen)?
I ask because I have an unhacked Vita and an unhacked PSP2000, and am interested in getting another handheld console such as one of the Open Source consoles or a hacked Vita/PSP for emulators, homebrew, imports and media playing, but the Vita is the only option that doesn't have TV Out (A handy feature)

If its still stuck in PSP mode, I don't know about that. Has there been improvements to snes or gba emulation?

There isn't really any benefits aside from the screen and having the PSP homebrew and all PSP games available on your Vita. If you have both, maybe hack the PSP and leave the Vita so you have internet access on it.
If you just want a bunch of emulators for your TV maybe just get a Raspberry Pi, USB controller and set it up as an emulation center.

The problem with that is that I have seen so many sweet patches for PSP games that translate to english, that I wouldn't get with a Raspberry Pi.
Dang, easy decision made tough again.

Well, I guess it depends on whether you have plans to go online or update your Vita again, or at least until the next kernel exploit.
Since you probably don't need to ever go online or update your PSP again, that may be the easiest path to take.
That is such an insane incorrect statement. Indie sales on Vita have been awesome.
Are there that many PSP fan translated games? Danganronpa is the only game that I know got a full translation.

presumably this thread!
i'm still unclear of the "cons" associated with using one of these exploits... anyone want to explain to me what using an exploit will do to my Vita?

I just want this to play Birth By Sleep on my Vita :c

Depending on the value you get out of PSP homebrew on Vita, it may make you want to avoid updating your Vita.
You basically have to weigh homebrew against PS+ games, online play, and so on.
Is there a point in doing this on the Vita over getting a cheap PSP? Aside from say, only wanting a single device?
In my opinion, PSP games don't look any better on Vita, in fact, I'd say they look worse (with bilinear on or off), so even if I wanted Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, or Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, I'd still be more inclined to take my PSP with me. As far as emulators (PlayStation 1 not included) and homebrew go, unless I've missed some big breakthrough recently, it was never really good, or at least, I never felt it was worth using. A lot of emulators would randomly crash, and a lot of the games were incredibly laggy, even after fiddling with settings. I simply never saw the value in it.
I'm interested in hearing why people want to do this, although it seems like they simply want to migrate their PSP collections to Vita and use a single device, which is great for them.
EDIT: After reading the last page, I guess it IS just people who want to migrate their collections. It's a shame about having to give up newer firmwares for it though.

any PSP game i want, i'll buy off psn and play it on my Vita.
what i do want is to play Genesis, GBA, SCUMMVM & AGS games on my glorious Vita.
actually, i just want to get through some backlog:
Blackwell series
Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis
Phantasy Star IV
Mother 3
so assuming they make a new exploit for 3.0 and i get it, i will have full functionality until Sony updates the firmware?

Wonder if they are going to release files for the older exploits or if there is just going to be a new one. If the game is cheap and the boot time is faster it would probably be worth "upgrading" from Uno anyway. Takes forever to get into CEF with Uno.
For me it's basically about not buying a new (or used) PSP. I originally got mine used in worse condition than I expected, but it was manageable. Then it fell off a shelf and now the O button and right shoulder don't work consistently. So the PSP functions well enough to serve as a ripping machine, but not really for games.
Plus I feel like Sony is being total dicks by diminishing the value of our physical purchases. At least Japan got discounts on PSN for games they already bought physically. Rest of the world got nothing except "if you want backward compatibility you can rebuy your games...... if they're even available." So I don't really have any qualms about it since their devaluation of my purchases is practically the entire reason I'm doing this in the first place.

depends on if you actually enjoy any of the homebrew games.

For now there won't be a problem with anything but as soon as they release firmware 3.01 you can't use the PS Store because that will make you update and lose the exploit. You can't access your friends list because that will make you update and lose the exploit. You can buy games from the web store but you won't be able to download them on your vita until you lose the exploit.
thanks for clarifying!
i will give the next exploit a shot, if only to mess around with a few classics.
That's for Half Byte Loader, not the kernel exploit.
What unfortunate news?
I'm already running the UNO exploit from nearly a year ago. Will this kernel exploit benefit me in anyway?

No, don't worry. Read the interview with Total_Noob. If you update your firmware to 3.00 and put TN-V4 on the Vita, you will be able to run PSP ISO's pretty much perfectly. The only issue is that some random firmware update disabled the extra RAM in the PSP emulator, meaning that some homebrews may be incompatible. ISO's should be perfect though, as should the majority of PSP Homebrew.
I have 2.02 and I would have the option to put TN-V4 on it, but I really want to update and synch my trophies and get the ability to play all the games that have been released since January.

Actually, you can still keep the exploit if you want to download a PS+ or purchased Vita / PSP game. You can transfer the game to your Vita from your PS3, you just need Open CMA installed. With that installed, you can plug the Vita into your computer, get into Content Manager, quickly unplug it from your computer and plug it into your PS3, and then transfer whatever game it is that you want. You can also still use the Web Browser. The only thing you can't do is PSN related things.
This is assuming that they can get Open CMA to work on 3.00 though (I'm pretty sure that they will).
It will get PSP games pirated. As it stands there's been no real progress on Vita native hacks. They've all been through the PSP emulator, and thus are limited to that platform's ability.
I thought we were past that by now. My "ninja" releases for the Vita have been happening for 2 years now; have you seen a single piece of news about piracy on the Vita? No. What makes you think it will be different this time?
I have nothing against people who fear piracy will hurt their favorite console, and I see how some people perceive it's what happened to the PSP, but I take offense about people who associate me and my site with things I don't condone and we haven't promoted a single time, in 5 years of existence. Please get your facts straights next time you discuss my site's releases.
Yeah, I know. That's what I mean: If I already have it, I'm losing the extra RAM (granted, not useful for game emulation or anything like that and I can't really recall any homebrew I've used using that extra RAM) just for the sake of using my homebrew machine for the purposes of two co-op achievements with local wifi requirements. :/

So wait, if I have the older UNO exploit, can i/should i upgrade to the new one?

The new TN CEF will probably be ported to work on the UNO expoit if you don't want to get the new exploitable game.

Was it true that your Half Byte Loader caused Motorstorm: Artic Edge to be removed from the PSN store?
Here
All games that help hacking the PSP Emulator get removed and return when they've been patched.
