Vita "hacked," (PSP) homebrew on the way (not piracy)
- Thread starter Leona Lewis
- Start date
The not so secret secrecy makes no sense.
First of all, it's not like sony doesn't watch wololo.
Second of all, it's the internet. Info leaks out.
Thirdly, even IF sony didn't know which game it was, they know that the game is a PSP game available on PSN for download and the title has been revealed to plenty of people on wololo. Sales spikes of any PSP title on PSN, especially if it's not a game currently at a discount or a game from a mega franchise, would raise a red flag.
Even if it's just a few dozen people buying a game that only ~10 people bought each week for the last 6 months.

That said, I would like the title
There it is I guess?
That's an old exploit, isn't it?

I can't find it one twitter either
Help me GAF.
The only stuff I've seen on Twitter are people talking about older exploits and also one exploit that WAS going to be used for TN-V4 but it was unstable. That one got patched out in Firmware 3.01, though.
No reason why a new exploit couldn't be found from the same game. Not that I believe it is Gravity Crash.

I'm new to the Vita Homebrew Community so I'm fine with waiting. If I miss it, oh well. I'm sure there'll be another.

It should be this game. Quote to see.
Seems plausible. It does bring up a relevant result in google.

From 4Chan? I dunno..
Yeah, that's the problem, and why I'm having a difficult time to convince myself to bite and buy it now.

Thanks guys... I hope 
To be clear, if one were to purchase the game with the loophole, perform this "hack" and enable homebrew, the Vita would then have to be kept permanently off the PSN to prevent updates that close the loophole, and the device would only function for games that correspond up to the version of firmware it's running? So, there goes the PS+ library?
So, if one wanted a Vita to emulate SNES/Genesis games, that person would have to give up access to a large portion of the Vita?

and the emu portions are locked to PSP speeds and frequencies. Why not get a cheap PSP? I'm getting one on 2014
My understanding is that you can use your ps3 to download the games and transfer them to your vita. If you have a ps3 that is
This release is special because you can play UMD and ps1 backups

It would be nice if someone could confirm what I asked above since the game isn't that specific... and I actually still have my PSP Slim 2000 but after using the Vita I can't stand the screen anymore

I wouldn't buy that version.

The other is in my shop aswell I was just making sure but at that price I'm not sure I'll bite :/
We are talking about a full PSP XMB exploit right?
Schrade

Exactly. I buy consoles and handhelds that have some decent hardware. If I can make them do more than they were meant to do, I am all for it. It's like putting DD-WRT on a router. It makes it a far better router than it used to be.
Make SURE you back it up to your PC, too.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be less hassle to just use PPSSPP.
Can anyone tell me how much the game is in USD? I'm curious as to how much PSN credit I need to buy if I'm going to create a new account and get a PSN voucher (if they even come that small, however much it is). Or can games be gifted over PSN? I suspect not, but it's gotta be worth asking.
Very odd. No matter though, didn't take long to leak! Can only hope that it lasts until I get home and charge the Vita.
You mean my PS3, right? The PSN store doesn't allow for PC downloads, as far as I can tell.
You back it up on your PC with the Vita's content manager.
$10
Thanks. Another question: How will I transfer the TNV-4 exploit as well as my UMD backups from my PC to the Vita?

The $10.00 PSN code I got with my PS4 covered it heh.
