Video: PSP Iso running on the PS Vita
You might remember the hacker whom I nicknamed “Tony”, who was able to run PS1 games and psp isos with a CFW on a PS Vita. Or you might remember Davee’s HEN running on a PS Vita back in march. You might also remember that I mentioned that several groups are now in possession of a PSP kernel exploit on the Vita.
Well it seems today that a beta tester for one of these groups was not completely careful, and leaked a video showing him running psp isos on a Vita (video below).
The video shows the tester (who is possibly Chinese) running isos for Metal Gear Solid : Peace Walker and Shining Blade through a (PSP) kernel exploit.
I have been told that the initial video has since then been removed which is why I’m thinking of a beta-tester mistake, but that was probably too late and the video got copied to other networks such as youtube.
What I can tell you right now is that this video is legit, and that this is neither Davee nor “Tony”‘s work. But this should not be a surprise to most people here, as I’ve mentioned in the past that we know of at least 5 groups that have PSP kernel exploits.
It’s worth mentioning that these exploits do not use VHBL in any way, but it is likely that most of them would require to go through a user mode exploit first (which probably means one of the game exploits we typically release with our Ninja release system).
There is, of course, no word on a potential release of this hack.

today a second video running psp iso on 1.80 vita appears in internet,he seems to be using a file browser to load an iso(FF7CC),and the background of the browser,suprisingly again, to be very familiar with us,wololo, does it mean that VHBL has the ability to run iso,though you didn’t add this feature for it’s illegal?
VHBL just can’t run ISO, coz it’s not based on a kernel exploit.
But they could have use the VHBL Background ^^
I don’t have a vita. But yes this should be released. I mean people are doing this on all the other psp models already and it’s only psp games but on a better screen. Just keep it at that and don’t go further with vita roms. What people want is already being done anyways so why not. Just my thoughts. Sony will make a killing on their memory cards too.
I don’t like piracy, but, well, Sony should had in mind that some vita user have or had a psp, and maybe still got UMD.
So … well, it’s just like on PSP: my fat didn’t have any UMD reader anymore, so I need an hack to play my games; now, I “need” this exploit to read my PSP games, since sony didn’t made anything so that i could use my paid game on my vita.
i dont understand why devs post this *** and then blow it up in our faces by saying “i got it and you cant have it” i just dont understand it. I mean wololo and everyone else who helped with vhbl told us they had it and released it quickly. Now this guy is saying he has it, but he isn’t releasing it soon and he might never release it. i mean this would be great. *** what they say about pirating. Sony is a ***. i have so many UMDs i paid for and i cant use them i have to repurchase the game which is stupid, and the ones i purchased from psn cant be downloaded on the vita system. Its *** ***!!!
This was not posted by a Dev, as I said, it was leaked by a beta tester. This is extremely different. The tool is not his to release.
I hope I can play psp game on vita. My psp is broken, and I don’t want to buy a new one……
PIRATES DONT FORGET: LIKE IT, BUY IT!!!!
I pirate..
And I have been buying a shitload of vita and PSP games as of late.
Even bought a 16GB Vita mc..
Most supported system by a pirate you ever seen.
This. I buy games for PC, Iphone and Vita even tho i could easily pirate them. If its something good enough i will buy it as will alot of people.
Can I just say first of all wololo thanks the work on VHBL and all the developers who put there time into it. I installed it yesterday and it was running great.
I would like to try the ISO loader myself (won’t we all) I would love to see how they did it. I’m not interested in playing ISOs I just like seeing how things work. 🙂
I would love an ISO loader so I can play the PSP games that arn’t in the shop or banned. Manhunt 2 is my favorite PSP game and its banned so I will never see it in the shop so I can never have it legally so the only way for me to play it is with the ISO.
Same as EyePet. Thats not in the PSN store but I own the UMD. There is no way for that to be played in the Vita unless an ISO loader is released.
Just release the ISO Loader and you will see the sales of the Vita go through the roof. It will be sold out in weeks. Now tell me how that will be bad for it? Was it bad for the PSP having a CFW on it all the time? No, was it bad for the PS2 as that could also run backups which are still selling…
The only bad thing about backups are YOU PEOPLE saying they are bad and complaining about them all the time. BACKUPS ARE GOOD FOR SALES OF CONSOLES AND GAMES.
I buy a game on a console, I back it up and play it on another console EG PSP – VIta. Nothing wrong with that just you complaining is the only thing wrong with it.
$ony say that you are only renting the games and the console, This gives us the console back to us the real owners.
It’s always good to see more progress, in any form, but in cases like this, and I’m sure others agree, the people really just announce it as a tease to everyone else. It’s more of a “look at the cool toy I brought to school, but I won’t let you play with it”-type situation. It’s unfortunate that kernel exploits are now saved for the private groups and their buddies as a more of a status symbol, or demonstration off their “l337 h4ck1ng 5k1ll5” (much like the ps3 scene) instead of the old days on psp where progress was shared and tons of cool stuff came out of it as a result. If you aren’t going to share your toys, don’t rub them in people’s faces, just enjoy them yourselves.
Here in china, they already have hacked ps vita’s for the price of $489 American dollars. This guy is running the iso on a ps vita dev system. check your’e resources first guys.
I dont belive in you 2 times.
-1. ps vita is not “public” hacked anywhere in world, all hacks are in testing phase. Ok, a guy from one of the testing team can be selling “their” team’s work for U$500,00 (2 psvita official price), but i dont belive this is happening, to load a iso you have to be at least an average user(Everyone knows how dificult is to copy files to psvita’s memory), and a noob wont pay 500 bucks for an exploit.
-2. How can you Know this is an “DEV SYSTEM”? He is using 1.80 FW it can cleary be seen, how god they got a 1.80 DevFW?
I dont know about the chinese black market, but I know what this iso loader is and I can tell you this is not a dev unit.
To Un3gr0
– I’ve confirm in the chinese website that 1.80 is an official firmware in the china market release on the 28th of August for PS1 support
To Wololo
– You might already have the full source, but there is a scene of Credit with “Hacked by” in Mandrin and i found a chinese article about the hacker. You have my email and let me know if you’re interested. In the China Market is using his work to hack PSV and sell to others, even though i believe that he manage to build the custom firmware but he doesn’t want to get too involved?? (i don’t see anything reveal in his blog unless my source is fake)
lol , that was expensive , here in malaysia that mod vita only cost RM1200 … in USD its should be around USD380 … that vita comes with mod psn store , only psp games available to purchase in that store , no pirated vita games yet ..if want to play vita games , have to buy the game card since u dont have official psn store , also cannot update to 1.8
I am sick of people saying “omg you pircay you suck?!”
WEll screw that! I wanna pircay! im not gonna go pay *** 20$ for a game!
Then I suggest you go play $1 glorified flash games on an iPhone. I only want to run PSP isos on the Vita because I don’t feel like re-purchasing my old UMDs (which I just did recently with MHFU for obvious reasons).
I believe the RICH hate piracy and the POOR who can’t afford love piracy. That’s the truth.
I’m not poor and I support piracy.
lol me poor but still buy original game XD
i agree. if you don’t have money, why would you give it to the people that already have money? almost a rhetorical question.
Look at the DS and 3DS, you didnt even need to hack that system. its a simple game cartridge with a memory stick and you have access to the entire catalogue of DS games.
And its a very successful system with lots of developers. I have a VITA and can honestly say im disappointed.
You spoke too soon my friend
This is not a hack if you have peace walker on the psn you can copy it to your ps3 then plug in your vita and copy it to mem. Stick wha lha push play
its hack he just happened to use that game.
I’m afraid an employee of Sony Corporation is selling information to hackers one way or another the vita will be hacked and peace will be restored and the earth will be saved.
noo shining blade XD i don have credit card and malaysia dont sell psn card in convenient store 🙁
oh well
how do I suppose to hack it if we cannot download the game anymore. Is there any way to any of you send me the game and any way to patch it for my vita?
FIRST!!!
