PS Vita Firmware 1.69 patches the Super Collapse 3 exploit
The “incoming” 1.69 firmware for the Vita that I blogged about a few minutes ago is actually already available to some people, and early reports confirm that this update does patch the Super Collapse 3 exploit. I can also guess with a high level of confidence that it does not bring anything else than that 
If you want to keep VHBL working on your Super Collapse 3 game, I recommend you do not update for now.
Thanks to Fate6 for the tip, and to jvhellraiser for taking the “risk” of upgrading
yay I ish mentioned :3
heres hoping there wont be any mandatory updates till 2.0 or what ever the PSX update will be
U are an idiot. Never come to this website again. Think of the people you drive crazy.
TEE HEE
Let’s see if Gravity Rush App via PSN forces 1.69 update upon launching. Clearly the cart doesn’t.
All the while they lose $$ everyday not from homebrew but from mismanaging the vitas roster of NEW game titles to make consumers actually -want- to buy the product for it’s “great” gaming experiences. Perhaps they should fix that first before updating firmware. Dunno, just an idea. :-S
Its pointless, I can still go on psn with 1.67. Im just gonna wait till 2.0 to update since i REALLY want to have PS1 emulation added so I can play my other games again.
in mexico the update is live
In Switzerland the update is alive too.
But, no super-collapse to download..
WOW… I’m a little disappointed at this firmware update… everyone including myself is FIENDING for the new VHBL but I really hope Wololo wait for another update before he releases the new exploit… at the same time I hope when that future firmware update comes the game that Wololo is planning on releasing still works… *keep fingers crossed*
best thing to do is get an RSS feed app on your phone or whatever device you keep with you most, subscribe to this site, and wait for the leprechaun.
Thank for the info wololo
looking forward to a possible 4th exploit! ill be on the lookout
Does anybody know if it fixed the bluetooth turning on bug?
It will take a lot of time for the scene to reach 100% the Power of the Vita… I hope I get mine (I mean If I have enough money) when that happen…
Now I’m continue to stick with Sony-abandon-PSP… *sad*
Hey. They just announced Final Fantasy III is coming out on the PSP!!!
thank u wololo for warning me i am able to update it but i wont even though i dont have vhbl on my vita but i will try to keep a watch
Funny how Sony brings out an update shortly after wololo mentions that he’s waiting just for that before doing another VHBL port. Maybe Sony was hoping they could patch two ports with one update. Gawd, it’s like they don’t have more important things to do than patch VHBL games!
1.69 is an optional update so if U need VHBL don’t update
thats so true all u have to do is wait for super collaspe to come back
Updates like these make me want the vita hacked even faster, Sony cares more about patching then bringing us new features smmfh
I wonder who adobes competition is if they even have any? Adobe needs to go out of business asap never to be wanted or asked for again. Who will our vita savior be? Will sony ever put out a worthwhile update? And last but not least, why oh why did Rand Paul join forces with Robomney?………the world may never know…
If sony actually put like any game on remote play or youtube or even Psone games in one update i would actually get it no ofence but the super colapse exploit isint perfect but gets the job done if some companys just let the people hack their devices that would be awsome dont release yet wololo fight sony prics
thanks for the risk Fate6 n jvhellraiser!!
I updated just now
and it indeed patches VHBL 
i mean, the Super Collapse 3 exploit.
I guess it only patches the latest released super collapse 3 exploit, so no risk for me
but I won’t update as the released flash0 dump is for 1.67, so if I find a working kxploit then I can test it on vita thx to the dump’s addresses ^^
I don’t think there’s any critical change apart the module that responds for blacked savedatas
yeah, but just this thing should be enough to change the kernel modules addresses a little imho
They actually make money when an exploit comes out…everyone rushes to buy the game…I don’t see the logic
They just can’t officially support being hacked, and not doing anything would be the same
Makes sense, if they allowed homebrews we wouldn’t have to bother with vhbl
Good thing I knew about this. I thought I was on 1.67, but it turns out I was on 1.66 the entire time, and the Escape Plan demo wants me to update to 1.67, but if I use the Software Update, I’d end up on 1.69 instead, and I’m not going to risk homebrew just to play a demo I probably won’t even like.
Confirming that downloading Gravity Rush via the US PSN store did NOT upgrade the firmware.
Still sitting on 1.67 hoping i can actualy get VBHL next release on my PSV!
