VHBL for Motorstorm Arctic Edge Released!
If you are lucky enough to be one of the few owners of Motorstorm Arctic Edge, VHBL is now available for download.
Please report Success/Failure here or on our forums.
As you will see, installing homebrews is a bit of a pain, so if you’re a good hearted guy who understands my explanations in the readme, please feel free to share homebrews packaged “correctly” for VHBL. Note: you can have several homebrews in one “install” file. For example if you zip all your PSP/GAME folder, all the homebrews in there can be installed at once by VHBL.

HBL port to the KR/US/EU/JP versions of the exploit by Wololo
Thanks go to:
- Teck4 for the Motorstorm exploit
- All the devs who made HBL what it is today, in particular m0skit0 and JJS
- Mamosuke, j416, Some1, and all the other devs who kept the secret, that’s much appreciated guys
- Monsieur2T2R for the cool VHBL icons/wallpapers
For now, I’m off to bed, but I’ll be sure to post more in the days to come, with updates, tutos, technical explanations, etc…
Yeah!!!!!
Firmware 1.61 EU all ok! work perfectly.
it would seem that any 3D game (besides doom) does not work, every one of them i’ve tried (kurok, quake, quake 2, halo, lamecraft) don’t work at all.
no 3d games seem to work whatsoever…
Can I still use this on a 6.60 PSP with the US version of the game? Just so I don’t feel cheated for missing the EU purchase lol.
Yes this works on psp too
Picodrive works okay except that the sound is a bit distorted but plays fine. Other emulators is a no go. Really looking for snes on vita…oh well, guess i have to be contented with playing emus on my psp3000. Good job anyway! It can only get better…
downloaded vhbl because im curious as to how files are transferred…
and its quite easy…
wonder what would happen if you said theres an exploit in uncharted full version, and post a well edited fake vid for “proof” ? i’d be lol-ing so hard if they removed it 😀
The install is done, the vHBL starts but after 2 seconds, it crash with a error message: C1-2858-3
Am i the only one with this problem?
more details: after loading the HBL save, the HBL black screen launch with some stuff written and after 2 seconds, there’s a black screen for about 10 seconds, and then the error message appear (C1-2858-3)
I did in the right way. but I couldn’t run a homebrew. why?
more details: After loading the VHBL, I select a homebrew, and it is written nothing. in my screen for about 10 seconds, but the error massage appears(C1-2858-3). Or, it returns to the home screen. It is like (Mr/Ms) SURF’s pressing.
(Sorry for my poor English…)
i tried to take a screenshot at the moment where vHBL start loading and i made it start correctly right after pressing HOME + Start. Weird, but working.
I have the jp version of this game and it shows corrupt file.. weird that im able to transfer from other regions.. ofcourse they don’t load. Has anyone else got this problem?
The problem seems to be with param.sfo.. I exchanged param.sfo from another region and the file copied to the vita.. but didn’t load. I also changed the SAVEDAT_DETAIL name that also got the file transfered but can’t load.
Hey wololo, any word on the other game mentioned yesterday (the demo)? Id test it out myself, but i sold my psp awhile ago.
Hey wololo! Please dont’t just focus on the PSV. Look at the little pool boy Wagic okey?
Thanks for your effort.
We will be able to cooperate with you next time.
NOO im like 1 day late to buy it plzz find another game that haz a vulnerability i want vhbl on my vita please find one!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot Wololo! Have GBA emulation running! Bought quite a few games on the PSN so if the next update breaks the hack I’ll just stick to 1.61… cheers 🙂
Lmao now its not enough you’ve found 1 exploit these ppl want even more coz they didnt trust u enough to buy the game
Well, I Myself failed to port vhbl to the “other” game.
wololo, thanks for the release, If you still have some time, port it to the apes.
Thanks again, worth the wait, jamming doom right now!!!!
Yea, thank you very much… I remember you said “it won’t be like you go to bed and next morning, it’s out and already finished” or something like that. Well, guess what, there people who doesn’t check your website every day and if you post “it will be released today”, it’s like you didn’t post anything. I was hoping you would be kind enough to post something like “it will be released after 1 week from this post, exact time, be ready”. Well, nevermind I guess, I’m just disappointed
Here’s what I did to make sure you didn’t have to lose sleep over this:
– announce the name of the game starting on February 21st, to the people who were able to read between the lines of the vhbl page
– For the public announcement, not release the files at the same time as the name of the game, in the hope that Sony wouldn’t remove a Game from their store without any proof of the exploit. That was a poker move, and I failed, but even at the worst, the game was up for about 12 hours between the announcement and Sony’s reaction.
I said I would do my best for you not to lose sleep over this. I believe I did do my best, and that the goal was achieved: most people don’t need 12 hours to sleep. If you don’t check my site every day, it’s your problem, not mine, I did my part of the work as far as I can tell.
If I had said “this will be announced on xx/xx at hh:mm”, not only would it have been exactly the same (Sony removing the game within hours), but in addition to that, my server would have browned out, so you wouldn’t have been able to get the info. And you would have been disappointed anyways because the announcement hours would have been the middle of the night for you, or in the middle of the day when you’re at work, or something else…
You’ve done an excellent job Wololo.. Working very will on my Vita.
Keep up the good work..
Ps. could you update Vhbl to add an option to delete. whould be very handy.
or you can just use pspfiler 5.7
it works perfectly for deleting stuff.
You’re a self entitled idiot scot, the fact that wololo i seven making such things for both the psp and ps vita is already great, and any little whiner should go make something valuable themselves before complaining about small things.
All Hail Wololo!!!
I still think that finding a way to directly access the memory card via the vita’s usb would be a better starting point. CMA can read and write data to and from the card, and it would be alot easier to run CMA through a debugger to find out how it accesses the memory card than to try and find an exploit within a closed system that will only get patched up a couple of days later.
Right, I do agree. I consider VHBL as an apetizer: we are using old tricks in the PSP emulator to have fun while we wait for the main dish 🙂 As I said many times, lots of people who are much more clever than I am are looking into many ways to get access to the Vita.
Nevermind. I figured out why this isn’t possible.
No colnpaimts on this end, simply a good piece.
When using this plug-in, I have the newest WordPress (3.3) and I have the latest Version 0.2.4.3.1 of Heiv wordpress plug-in for Gallery3 which is also the most recent up to date version. When I try to add images with the Heiv plug-in, I can see the directories, select the directory to pull images from, but the images all show as the broken link image and when they are added to the post or pages, they also show as a broken link.Any idea on this, nothing shows in the error logs.
Well, yes but the overdrifts were usually seen on the Sundays, which in the KS reprints were seen in a sort of artist’s proof version, they weren’t presented as they were originally meant to be read: in color. And sometimes the Sundays were cut in half, part on one page, part on another, which I found greatly distracting. That’s why the IDW Caniff books are so far superior to earlier reprints, they have color and black and white and the pages are consistently and elegantly formatted.
no one wants to work in Iraq (go figure) so the salaries for the people have skyrocketed up. Once you get in the oil facilities you cannot move from 1 building to another without an Blackwater escort. Lots and lots of snipers over there. He did say that due to war/sanctions/Sadam’s greedimess that the facilities are 20 years behind the times. He also said the oil fields around Basra are quite rich.
If you wrote an article about life we’d all reach enlightenment.
Any ideas on a game for the us. Go for metal slug because its cheap and it look hackable
If people send me game exploits, I’m willing to port HBL to those exploits, or to help them do it. I however don’t have the time to look for exploits, so at the very least I need a savegame that does the minimal task of overriding $ra
Aqe Quest has been identified as one that works.
Sorry meant to say APE QUEST and it’s free demo on PSN (all regions).
Here is the evidence from the coder:
