PS Vita Firmware Update 1.66 available
People are now able to update their PS Vita to Firmware 1.66. Firmware 1.66 is probably a simple regression bug fix from Firmware 1.65 unveiled yesterday, to address the “adhoc” issues people were seeing on PSP games.
This firmware patches both Motorstorm and Everybody’s tennis exploits used to run VHBL, as expected. This was also, of course, the case for firmware 1.65. Update at your own risk. Reports also say that SKFU’s Vita pr0xy allows you to spoof your firmware version, in order to access the psn store without updating, so you don’t have to update immediately unless you need all of PSN’s services.
Thanks to everybody who let me know.
I am really hating my Vita…
Sony et phatethic !
you are pathetic!
Really? I agree that Sony is.
I agree as well.
Seems kind of pointless update, bet it didn’t fix the bugs how the Bluetooth turns itself on all the time randomly after rebooting it from “Power Off” I must admit also I am disappointed with the Vita it’s boring after Uncharted, and Unit 13 is just MEH.
I have never wanted to get rid of a system so bad… Seems like $350 is down the drain…
The BLUETOOTH bug irritates me… and its still present… 🙁
HACKERS should seriously butt in now, so we can finally OWN the device.
Contact Sony’s crew on any issues with the FW- they cannot help you if U don’t point them the problem
***? tell them? do you know what you are saying? cant they do test on things they do??
seriously? u think? dont they know any of the software development process, also known as a software development life cycle (SDLC)
im just an IT student and i havent developed anything, but they should test the *** they do before releasing it…*facepalm*
even VHBL goes through testing.. right mr. wololo? sorry dont know your real name..lols
they just need to read the . everyone is posting the bugs and updates they may focus on.
For many years the big software projects proved to be untestable and rely on bug reports from the users…
It’s quite normal process U know…
Even HBL uses user feedback..
I think sony needs to put those add ons on like th adobe and some or there going to start
Losing there sales on this.
What? Sony lose their sales?? NO I LOVE SONY HOW COULD THEY LOSE SALES?? … oh wait have I forgotten they’ve been losing psvita sales ever since launch? Hah, nevermind.
I hope we can get full access or at least something very close to it so devs can make this system fun just like the PSP because I’m so not happy with 300 bucks down the drain.
Hi wololo, i have not yet used your HBL because i missed out on motor storm and the tennis game. I was wondering next time could you release a count down timer before you announce the game that contains saves exploit so people like me won’t miss out on it. I can’t wait to play crisis core on it. Keep up the good work!
The best way to not miss out on future releases is to register on our forums. rusted forum members got access to the information up to 1 week in advance for both the Motorstorm and the Tennis exploits.
Not to be a spelling nazi, but i think you meant trusted… or did you?
Haha, yeah, I of course meant Trusted 😀
“Rusted”… nice 😛
This is completely irrelevant to your post, but how do these faces get chosen??–>
Is it completely random or does it depend on the username?
If i post with a different username, i get a different image?
its different each time you post. They are adorable ant they 😛
But wololo gets the same face everytime he posts…
Me too -I think they got linked to the email
In case to make PSVita better! Sony’s job = Fix a youtube add, make skype online asap and release those good games in english!
What this really needs is some good games… maybe add Android Market to it also. What’s the point on the front facing camera when there isn’t even video chat?
I paid $418.00 for my PS Vita 3G+WiFi and I am still playing MK7 on my 3DS… the Vita is literally boring. I agree with those other comments from owners about how it feels like money put down a drain.
So….who is brave enough to test VHBL on the new firmware?
If i were to update the firmware onto one memory card and keep the lower firmeware on the card with the homebrew, will this work or is the firmware installed into an internal memory on the vita?
No, the firmware is *obviously* installed on the console, it would be a gigantic security flaw if it was installed on the cards…
The cards are also sold separately.!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLO
How do you use SKFU’s Pr0xy? Ive got it running but how do i spoof my vitas version because at the moment I can access the store but can play some games, such as montezuma blitz
Thanks
I admittedly have grown a bit bored of my Vita too. After all, there is only so much entertainment to be had from playing the FIFA demo (finished Uncharted, can’t be bothered with WipEout or Rayman).
Having said that, there is no way I’d want to trade it in or sell it, because I know what will be available in the future.
Rayman is awesome i must admit!
RAyman is the best game I’ve played in years
Origins, or did they make Rayman 3 HD for Vita, too?
I hope Ubisoft is done re-releasing Rayman 2.
I agree, I should have probably waited to get the vita later but im too impatient and wanted it right away, but yeah not much, all i do now is wait for new homebrew, which is kinda *** atm, maybe later we get much better hacks and also good games will be released later, call of duty, lbp, resistance, metal gear solid, grand theft auto, so much goodness!
GRAVITY RUSH!!! im almost tempted to get in japanese!

do this
probably not the best place to ask but…
if you download an update for a game in the live area, where is it stored?
for example, 380+ MB update for Uncharted?
on your Vita memory card. those tiny, super expensive cards with “PSVita” stamped on them.
Wololo I would really like to register so I can get a hint of the next game exploit in advance , but would rather not do to a fear that my email would get spammed with advertisments, is there Amy other way? 🙁
We do not share your email with any advertising agency… or with anybody actually. Only the admins of the forum (me, TiPi, and JJS) can see your email.
The interesting thing about your post is that U shared your email so U could write this one but U fear registering???
He may have not used a real email address. I think the check is mostly for spam bots.
Don’t be paranoid
I tried it and on the EU Version of Arctic Edge the VHBL doesnt run any more.
if theres a will theres a way.. when psp 4.01fw arrived. pandora is no longer useful. i thought were doomed. then when 5.03 arrived , we can now use CHICKHEN. then 6.20 for permanent patch.
same with ps3.. when 3.41 arrived, backup loaders were available using usb devices. then came 3.55 jailbreak, usb devices are no longer needed. now were back with true blue so that we can play latest games like skyrim and nba 2k12. and im hoping wololo will work on a savegame exploit on the ps3 too.
we just have to play the waiting game now.
If firmware was installed on a card separately, the vita would be a brick w/o one.
this was a reply to jim . WP doesn’t like me so it posted as a general reply 😛
haha yeah thanks it does make sense really to do it in that way i didnt really think about it to be honest! In which case im going to have to just leave it on airplane mode until something usefull comes out in the form of CFW. Hope this is before gravity rush as i will need to get this but i suppose it will be on the physical card rather than just download.
You know I was real excited about the Vita and bought it the day it came out. After a month of having it and without Sony actually releasing more playable psp titles and no ps1 support besides the remote play i started hating my vita. Sony is real stupid and they have a device with hardly any good games (i played uncharted and wasnt impressed, i want to play a console game on a portable device without them making the controls so that a 5 yr old can play) now ive returned it and have a 3ds. Sony you just lost 1 customer and im sure im not the first.
You wanted console-type games on a handheld so you got a 3ds… -_-
Which game on the 3ds plays like a console game(with a single analog nub)?
@svenn Agreed.
You agreed with yourself?
i was trying to downloaded 1 .66 and it froze my vita , i try to turn it oFf and now it has blAck screen and continuos circle. it wont turn it off. im a wait till battery runs out and then charge it and turn on, if problem still there i will return back to gamestop.
Did you try holding the Power button for 25 seconds? It should send you to a screen that let’s you reboot your device.
and no i didnt have hack
try to hold start select power and home 25-30 sec
thank you it worked . im glad i dont have to wait for battery drain and that vita didnt brick, thanks alot.
how the heck do u register on this site? :\
They made a beautiful device..& without enough apps & games, & their stupid security measures, everybody seems hating the Vita pretty soon
what do you expect? its sony. expect the ps4 to be locked up even more. not necessarily that whole “lock out used game thing” becuase surely they’re not that stupid. but it’ll still be locked up even more than vita
dont be so sure… i think they ARE that stupid!
Sony becomes more and more South Park worthy.
Yeah matt and trey should deff make a Sony episode :p
well i just hope that they making nvg game psp for psvita or hacking or something it suck when u can play only psvita game…(because i dont have credit card to buy psp game) to tell the true i think 3ds making cool game like KD3DS/tales of ablyss/ unlike psvita only have the uncharted and crappy game ~_~
I am having a problem trying to get on ps store on a 1.61 vita. I used SKFU’s proxy to replace the string http://fus01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/list/us/psp2-updatelist.xml with http://www.mobiletechftw.com/vita.xml (my modified version of the file) and I am getting error C0-10112-5
yo i did it this morning and it worked fine and now even using proxy it wont work it asks for updates why????
I believe Sony is adapting progressively. Could also be their cache catching up. I am not sure the user agent is enough to spoof access to the PSN
so does that mean im sc*** like does it work for you or am i doing it wrong??
so does that mean i wont be able to be on psn?
I have question!
I am on the older version of 1.61?…anyway, I’m not up to date and I don’t want to update because I want to wait around until an exploit is discovered to hack 1.XX firmware. Is it possible for someone like me, who doesn’t have the hack already, to be able to use Vita Pr0xy? If so, can you direct me to some directions to install it? Thank you, Wololo!
wait for the ps vita games coz sony is making many new games for it
this is becoming ridiculous! when will Sony learn that focus on innovation vs complete protection is the way to mass public appeal? Thats where their ratings have dropped and people will lose interest because the stop listening to our demands and are focused on fighting hacks. It looks like the hackers are the ones listening to the consumers by creating apps we are asking for. Come on Sony, get your act together and dont make us feel we threw out our hard earned money on a gadget you arent supprting.
J
can u plz tell me is there any free games available for psvita on psn?
For EU: Rubic 4 magic
For US: Motorstorm RC
thanx man
Can enyone tell my:
How to spoof 1.65 to 1.66?
What i need to do in vita pr0xy ?
spoofing still works, but i am not using Vita Pr0xy since it doesnt seem to work most of the time. im on 1.61 right now.
Wololo if you’d like to know how, then ill send u a message because it might be to long to explain it here.
