1. This doesn’t require a dongle at all. The only thing the dongle was used for is taking peoples money.
2. No, you need a cfw.

IMPORTANT COMMENT HERE
Guys, the most inportnat post on wololo here right now (for kernel access etc. on the vita)is the fundraiser for the vita devkit. I donated already but i’m wondering if someone could make a project on kickstarter(google it). There, i’m pretty sure it will get a huge amount of funds quickly. Wololo Please read and consider this. I’m not home(US) right now so I can’t make the project. When the funds are raised, it can be donated directly to SKFU’s blog post.

Now, before I download this, I have a few questions:

1. Can I use any old USB flash drive for this dongle?
2. Will this work on OFW? I’ve got the latest OFW, so it’s too late for me to downgrade.

Wololo , You are the best. I would not imagine if you have DRM in HBL. I would never been able to enjoy my homebrews on my PSP. Thx for everything. And htis is the best news i heard since i bought my PS3 in December 2011

*slow clap* A cookie to anyone who reads that Great Wall o’ Text thing without using a text editor to reformat it. And yes, instead of wasting your money to support pirates/criminals, go donate it to the Red Cross or something.

I just hate when the scene of a video console dies , it make’s me feel sad .
@trapstar30 why not donating the half of the money you wasted buying that TB to that hacker ?
Next time you should think before doing such things.

Trapstar30:
“plus I always hate Sony on many levels.”
“this is my three ps3″

so you hate sony, yet you bought not only one PS3, but three of them? Sounds like you screwed ‘em over good by buying the TB dongle… idiot.

The ONLY way to stick it to Sony is to NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS. If you enjoy it, then buy it. If you don’t, then keep your money. ’nuff said.

stealing games is WRONG no matter which way you look at it. Sharing information and homebrew code is fine. That’s what makes the scene exciting.

i cannot agree more with wololo…

can you imagine our vita or psp having to use some dongle to play pirated games??

i will never pay for piracy…

i, myself enjoy downloading stuffs for FREE,

ex. free movies, mp3, anime and isos for my psp 3000.

for me, piracy != $$$$$

As most TB users, you think the problem is the money, when the problem is the DRM.

You’re also making a confusion between what you do (In your country, using counterfeit products like you do can go up to one year of prison and 100’000$ in fine), and hackers who share their knowledge and ask for a personal and optional contribution *after* sharing their stuff.

Also, you can try and insult me, but when you do, you should get your facts straight. I have not asked for donations for my work in the past 2 years, either with Wagic or HBL. Did that stop me from sharing my findings? I don’t think so. Did you see me sell my work and put DRMs on it to prevent the rest of the scene from learning out of my work? I don’t think so. Does True Blue have the right to put DRMs in their product? Yes, and I think it is clever. Does it make you a dumb customer for buying their stuff? Definitely.

That’s the last time I’m answering you. Sorry for sounding elitist, I don’t mind discussing with people who do not share my opinion, but I expect people I discuss with to have valid arguments and an IQ higher than that of a banana. Also formatting your answer would have helped.
