PsVita 1.81 Update Tonight and Could Block VHBL
According to PlayStation’s Turkey Facebook page the PlayStation Vita will be getting a 1.81 firmware update at midnight tonight.
The PlayStation Vita update said to be out tonight, which is rumored and will most likely block VHBL. There has been no official list of the changes the 1.81fw update is said to bring along but given the circumstances of VHBL being out and the fact Sony hasn’t removed Monster Hunter from the PSN points to VHBL getting blocked. It’s highly advised you do not update until it is out if you have VHBL and has been tested to see if it does so. There is no word either on whether this will block PSN to those who do not update.
I can´t connect my Vita to the PC, maybe because of the Update?
Try running CMA as administrator, on the bottom left you’ll see the CMA icon right click on it and click on settings. You’ll end up seeing CMA open. Now connect your Vita to your PC and see if it works now.
*bottom right of your PC you’ll see your icon
If the update doesn’t block VHBL, that will be VERY interesting. More interesting than them not removing Monster Hunter from the store.
id ont nned the update but if you dont update you can acces to pstore or i am grong.
Learn to spell…
Maybe it won’t be mandatory like some PS3 updates and still let you access the store.
Wololo’s Articles are ALL STUNNING and interesting but i need to ask what if the update is required and the OpenCMA Is Again not working then who ever will download monster hunter can’t get VHBL since the update is blocking you from using the vita until you update.
CLEAR WAY TO EXPLAIN MY TYPING:WHAT IF THE VITA REQUIRES AN UPDATE TO USE PS STORE AND YOU HAVENT GOTTEN MONSTER HUNTER YET!? ITS LIKE heck WITHOUT THE VHBL THING NAZI ZOMBIES PORTABLE ROCKS!!!!
It won’t block you from using the vita. Maybe the psn but not the vita its self.
…… next time just post the clear version. not in caps.
what if!?!??! buy it … or wait for the next one, not much else you can do really.
im not updating *** if they do put it out im good . i hav all my emulators with all the games for them and i dont play online from my vita.
Hopefully this will be like the last update where vhbl was working as long as it was already saved on your vita. OpenCMA will probably have to be updated again.
I thought it was found out the page that update was on was unofficial? has scea said anything yet? they do like to announce their updates before pushing them usually, unless this is a return to the PSP days of suprise updates…
Dark alex had them against the wall back then

Seems official enough.
I’ll also be honest, Wikipedia has never failed me on info about system updates as most wiki authors are gamers or coders or programers, etc…
Thanks, i wasn’t sure until i saw Wololo’s post. Thanks for the leg work 🙂
maybe Sony realized that this wont leed to piracy all people wanna do is play there own games that they made and will leave it vhbl on the psvita
Actually scratch that its a update to prep the console for little big planet
I thought lbp’s street date was broken and people are already playing it on 1.80. Correct me if i’m wrong.
Release next week, 25th, game should be at stores right now so the update loaded on it should be below 1.80 if it even has one.
I’m going to get my vita in 10-12 hours, ETA of the patch?
i wanna be hacked
that’s nice, shall i send the ax murder to hack you?
Dang, my vita couldn’t turn off =_=
? That mean you gots it? That hb loader of wololos doing what it do on 81? Hope so, cma tranz fix wuld bea sweatz ifin that their fix. Thought i woul join the bad english crowd because i be bored atz d moment.
You made my right eye twitch with anger till i read the last line. Good job.
Sorry :->
Hope this update wont’ block VHBL. Things start to get interested as it determines Sony’s thought about VHBL
This might just be an update to give us “HTML5 with Flash support” lol
We can but wish!!!
If only… They would hold that one for a uvl.
More like sony will hold it forever. They like to do that to their customers. Its about time Sony gave us something we wanted. Not just fixes for the exploits.
Thats something that sony really bug me with. They should include something good with each and every firmware update. It sickens me when they force updates to get on the store, especially when the update brings us nothing usefull. Now if each update gave us more features then I would be more than happy. But Sony lack the brains to do that as we all know!
:O)
Flash is dead, we wont see that as adobe has already said they wont port it. Sony even asked them to do and offered to pay them and they still said no. HTML5 though will eventually see a release IMO.
OOOOOhhh Long Johnson!!!!!
Ooooohhh Pianao!!!!
OOOOOhhh Long Johnson!!!!!
Ooooohhh Pianao!!!!
SO who is gonna try it then to see?
confirmed market mexico ask update you cant accses to pstore
Uk store: Still no update to get on the store yet!
As of 3.38am
USA ask for update
you sure? i can get on the psn with out having to update.and i live in the usa.
asked for update
usa asks for update
So they removed Monster hunter from eu store. Maybe they won’t force update in eu. Very unlikely though!
I cant connect to CMA update is required puff good that I put all my games and emulators for vhbl before this, aNY news if the supfste blocks vhbl? I want to tray the n64 emulator but I cant! firmware was live at 3.00 Nederlands time :/
New FW live in EU (Sweden), forced update (can’t use PS Store etc). OpenCMA works fine, even after the PS Vita as “seen” the new FW being available.
So, who’s going first? 😉
NOOO!! Looks like I won’t be able to download LittleBigPlanet upon release. Why couldn’t they just release the update next month?
I can confirm it is required in US to use psn, and it blocks the exploit in Monster Hunter United.
Oh well, I’ll guess I won’t purchase any new games in a while then, good thing I stocked up a few PS1 games already.
Thanks for reporting about the exploit being blocked.
Did you updated and it blocked VHBL?
I updated my PS Vita to 1.81 and it does indeed block VHBL for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
Well, thanks for that… and, i didn’t got VHBL indeed becoz i dont use too much emulators, but, what’s new on the 1.81? noticed something aside of the fix of the xploit?
Not really. I did not find anything else new about the update that was noticeable. I just remember trying to load VHBL with Monster Hunter and getting an error message.
O well i wanna see what wololo has to say,i wanna play lbp online when it goes live tho but i still want my emulators arrrgg
Take the posibilities and balance it, if you prefer emu’s don’t update, if you wanna play online, access to PSN and get LBP, then update… xD
Im in the us and i can acces the store so whos lying?
Online play too?
No one said it was a confirmed forced-update.
Wololo what ever happened to Dark Alex? Seems like the earth swallowed him
He started playing video games a few years ago, and stopped caring about hacking at that point
Looks like all online features are blocked until you update to the new 1.81
I cant update my near location or play any game that access PSN or leader boards.
The games are still playable, but all online features are blocked until you update.
I do not have VHBL installed so cant test that.
Oh well. Got over a grand invested in this thing. Finally able to play WTH (waaay faster too!) on the vita for a whole 2 days. Sorry Sony. I’ll take WTH over your overpriced half *** games (Madden? W… T… F… pos). Enjoy my grand. Not spending any more or updating. Get your *** straight.
Madden is a game made by Electronic Arts, it is not made by Sony.
No ***.
You talked about Sony and their games, and from hen Madden. Thought it was worth mentioning it.
“and then you mentioned Madden” is what i ment to write, sorry for typos.
“Sorry Sony. I’ll take WTH over your overpriced half *** games.” +1
(the pos browser still works)
im glad i didnt update i bought both final fantasy iv and vii ……thats all i wanted as for games for the vita ill buy the hard copies at the store …
Ye you can’t ues the ps store anles yo update dame sony for that ill wat to see iv the hbl works on 1.81 are not
In Finland psn store is still working (7:26 AM)
I think that they may reboot it at 8:00 AM
Vhbl is proving to be an expensive App to run. Another
Ninja release, another game to buy of $ony that I already own.
A vicious circle.
If only the devs of VHBL were getting a percentage of the sale -_-
lol there would be releases every week 😀
that’s why I donate wololo. But as a end user I only buy hardware like the vita because of good people like yourself putting your spare time into making homebrew.I’ve had my vita from first day of release in the UK I’ve only one vita game but ask me how much homebrew on it , I’ve too many to remember. Just hope soon that I can play my umd bk/ups. It’s not all about the money…..but it helps! :^)
I am in the US and can access psn and the store with no issue so I think some people are lying
guess its randomly to force or not
im in asia still can access or playing online with 1.80 fw only they force to update is about CMA.
im on the east coast and i cant access the psn store without updating (which im not doing) so no one is lying at least on the east coast
