Motorstorm being removed from the Playstation Store?
I am getting more and more reports that, following my announce of Motorstorm Arctic Edge being the game used in Teck4’s exploit, the game is being removed from the Playstation Store. I cannot verify this for myself now, but will try to confirm this in the hours to come. I am also getting reports that some people who bought the game are seeing it disappearing from their download list. Not entirely sure if this means Sony took your money and isn’t delivering the game (which would be really bad). If you managed to get the game, be sure to install openCMA, try to not connect your vita to the network.
If indeed the game has already been removed, I’ll release HBL as soon as I can confirm this.
I wasn’t sure Sony would remove the game only based on an article from me, but it seems so… Well, at least it was available for a few hours, compared to 1hour for the Mercury Exploit a few years ago…
yup, its been removed from all the stores.
BUT the ape quest game is still live, download it while you can! It will be easy to port hbl to that title in the coming days.
One way to do it is to email the people following the VHBL files so it takes Sony a lot longer to figure out how it works, or whatever… I don’t know how long that would take, but then they would have to go all secret agent to post online and get an email of the files on the account, or something. Btw, it’s March 2nd. Where are dem files?
Wololo, I have a question:
[conspiracymode]
Now that we’ve downloaded the game, backed it up and are prepared to what bit of magic and a little bit of coding you’re going to give us, is there a chance it might go awry?
So far I’ve not seen nobody using tools to sniff out the traffic between the Vita and the interweb. It might be interesting for knowledgeable people to do that now, if you have the means to. Perhaps Sony will hotfix the FW, the game itself or some other means.
I’d honestly hate if I would have to use an extra memcard that I would keep in airplane mode (thought even in airplane mode wifi can be activated AND whose to say they show as such, they could as well hide the damn wifi icon, being sneaky) to be able to play the game.

I haven’t thoroughly read the TOA (though that don’t mean much in Europe)or any other legal documents concerning the Vita and the use thereof. I’m not sure if Sony allows themselves this manner of conduct.

Typo in OP.
Suggestion:
Just name all PSP catalog… Let’s see if they remove it all…
Confirmed that it has also been removed from Singapore store. No updates yet for the game. I was hoping that the exploited
game would be one of my favorite games and luckily it was! To those who missed their chance, I’m sure once wololo has shared the code, someone will find a way to overcome this obstacle. The best things come for those who are patient…
oh man…good thing i I did not try to get it!!!
i paid for it but i didnt download it and today it doesnt even show in my list a complain to sony will be issued thats 20euro i paid i wont let them go for free
To quote freeplay on that mercury exploit a few years back: “It would probably be best to wait until an XMB-based exploit comes along… game-based exploits are too easy to block”.
Guys should chill if they didn’t buy the game in time.
This is probably just one of the first ever steps to hacking the vita, and those who bought the game can be proud to be a part of it.
wololo how to download hbl ???
Hi wololo is there any way to port Motorstorm to Vita without downloading it from PS Store ???
Thanks for reply 🙂
Smart move, Sony! Wait until wololo releases the files and then you use those files and no user can use the exploit 🙂
Or will they scan the whole game for exploits? Oh sheet
Gone in US since yesterday… Went to redownload it to my PSP… And it’s gone.
Wasn’t even interested in the exploit.
I called up and they refunded me $20… $20 less then I paid… so worst case I pirate and get $20 back.
Best case it’s put back up for those whom bought it… But the way they spoke made it seem unlikely.
I guess they took it down and off people’s DL lists to modify it. I’m sure it won’t be long before it’s back up (and no longer exploitable).
Last night I had started to d/ld Ape Quest: The starter pack, but cancelled after 60% because I saw mediago it first on psp. Now I cannot find it on ps store from vita at all. And vita history shows it aborted and says cannot d/ld to vita? Where is it to redownload? Demo.
Hi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when
opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!
