Urbanix was removed from the EU Stores
That was fast!
I am getting a growing number of reports that following the announce of Total_Noob’s HEN a few hours ago, the game Urbanix, which has an exploit allowing people to run his PSP Custom Firmware on the Vita, was removed from the EU PSN stores. People are reporting that the game was also removed from their download list. I expect the same will happen to the other locales (US, JP, etc…) within a few hours.
If you have the game installed on your console (US, EU, JP,…), great for you, don’t touch anything and make a backup using Open CMA.
If you have one of the previous VHBL exploits, it is possible the kernel exploit will get backported to your game exploit at some point, so if you are interested in that Kernel exploit the idea for you is to wait and see (and to not update your firmware).
If you are lucky enough to be able to still buy the game on the US or JP store or whatever, and want this exploit, do it now. Not in a few hours, not after your lunch break, but now.
If you are in none of the situations above, you probably missed a good and rare opportunity… put the following note on your fridge: “check wololo.net more regularly in the future”… People who check this site daily knew about this 3 days ago. People who can read between the lines knew about this 3 months ago.
The game was really pulled fast. It is not clear if this is because of the poor planning of the whole release (exploit initially leaked without a proper ninja release, then CFW announced in the middle of Sony’s working hours), or if Sony reacted faster because a Kernel exploit is involved. We will probably never know.
I am quite sure we’ll have lots of news to share about this in the days to come: compatibility with previous usermode exploits, tutorials, probably a few improvements are also to be expected from TN himself…
Stay tuned.
Ok so Ive done everything right and i got the filer to load. But now my ISO wont appear in the file reader at all. Its in the right folder and everything…
I too am having this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Same here. Use CSO. The ISO solvation was somewhere i’ll go look for it)
CSO doesn’t work either =/
how did you guys install the pspfiler? i made the PSP/GAME/FILER then i zip it and named it 8 characters all caps and moved it into the save folder but i cant see it to install it. or am i doing it wrong?
confirmed working on US urbanix, downloaded on ps3 redownloaded on vita before the deletion.
Havent tested homebrew or .isos yet.
Oh man.. I miss the chance. Even in Singapore PSN Store also removed.
I found a “bundle” in the U.S. today with Urbanix in it, got it, and Urbanix wasn’t there. FFFFFFUUUUUUU
Well, there went 6 dollars. At least I got Sonic Adventure 2 so I can laugh at how *** it is.
LOL I did exactly the same as you god F u sony
ISOs wont show up on my filer! What do I do?? Ive tried everything x0
yay by the time i got home from college it was gone. Will there be a way to do this with other minis? Or can we do this with previously patched vhbl? Is there a chance for those who did not download this game to get a second chance? What can this exploit lead to besides psp cfw? Can this bring along a vita kernel exploit? I know its a lot of questions but i gotta know
Will there be a way to do this with other minis?
–> probably not anytime soon
can we do this with previously patched vhbl?
–> If you have MH and firmware 1.80, yes, it might be backported. If you’re on 1.81, the only game that would work for you is Urbanix
Is there a chance for those who did not download this game to get a second chance?
–> Hmm…. Motorstorm, Everybody’s Tennis, Super collapse 3, Monster Hunter, Urbanix… you mean a 6th chance, right? Same question I ask everybody else: if you missed the previous 5 exploits, what makes you think you will get the 6th one?
What can this exploit lead to besides psp cfw?
–> Most likely nothing more
Can this bring along a vita kernel exploit?
–> Probably not
yea is wy i was stooked wen i had da monster hunter running n more wen i got urbanix working after the us save release but yea psp emulation alright but i herd fulll vita cf would be fun but right now not to much games out yet fo da vita so a lil pointless since most of the game take up a lot of memory n da sony memory card cant hold dat much n u can only have like eight screen on da vita home page dat can only hold ten apps or game well i had an eight gb card n filled the thing up wit demos but yea dont think it cant fit all my game n apps almost loaded wit psp mini psone apps n games from sonys mobile (deas a pretty good beats one)but yea psp emulation great wish i still had da game.think da vita only lets u have a certain about of apps or games install on it at a time thinkg wit the apps u cant delete dat u can probly be around 80 welll guess cheack u can have 10 pages wit 10 games or apps on dem. but yea a vita expoit would be bad aszzz
hi everybody hello Wololo
I have a little question
i have download Urbanix to my ps3 and i was wondering if i should update my vita and copy the mini in pkg file to it as i didnt install it yet
or if i should stick to my actual 1.80 and the exploit you share with us?? and wait for a backport of the vcfw
id like to say thank you for your work as there is the sun in our lives there is Wololo TN Coldbird And all the others people who make this scene wonderfull
don’t update, I just tried to do this *poof* goes the monsterhunter exploit, and the vita doesnt see urbanix to install
Wololo is there hope for those who haven’t downloaded the game Urbanix 🙁 My firmware is 1.81
For now, no. But things change everyday recently, so who knows…
Is there any chance Sony return Urbanix to PSN (after 1.82 release, for example)?
My guess is: if I activate my Vita PSN account now and download Urbanix via PS3 later (if they return it to PSN) from the same account, I’m pretty sure it will be possible to transfer it without connecting Vita to PSN and updating to 1.82.
I might be wrong, but i’m pretty sure that you can’t transfer games from your PS3 to Vita without being connected to the interenet. And when you’re connected to the internet, then the Vita will ask you to update the firmware.
Sony did the same thing with the previous games like Motorstorm Arctic Edge and Super Collapse 3. They removed those games and added them back later on. I didn’t hear any stories that it was possible to do a PS3 to Vita transfer for those games when not using the latest Vita firmware.
I got it before it was too late! :D. I upgraded from 1.61 and lost my Every bodies Tennis exploit but really worth it! 😀
Now that i have missed MH(wasnt able to download till 1.81 was out) and urbanix, is their a way to find my own exploits without owning a psp?
Yes, psp is usually just used for debugging.
is it possible if u can show me a tutorial or something?
Is the game also removed from Japan PSN?
yea so i got da game did not make back up on da pc but cant get da game on da vita cuz the ps3 messed n da hard drive need to partion is dea some way to save the hard drive with out having to partion it right now i swap out the hard drive in the ps3 wit anader one
Seems like the JAP version is still on psn??
Dont have my Vita with me to check, but I do have a jap psn account since the days when the ps3 was launched.
Is it possible to use a european Credit card to buy things on JAP psn store? It was possible back in the day on my ps3.

Did it work ?
How to get Urbanix game ?
Those who dont already have Urbanix and are waiting for Sony to put it back on the PSN, DO NOT waste ur money buying it coz it will have the exploit patched!
See when Sony learns the name of the game thats being exploited, they pull it from the online store. They THEN patch the exploit hole over the following few days, and then they add the game back to the online store for sale…so dont buy it thinking the exploit will work, coz it wont. If you dont already own it, its too late im sorry.
Just thought i would post coz a few ppl were under the impression that once the game is back for sale, they can still exploit it, but thats not the case…i just dont want ppl wasting money coz they are mis-informed or dont know any better!
How about the Jewel Keeper: Easter Island?
wololo please find away to transfer the game from ps3 to vita
you are the last cansh for as.
thanks!
funny im not the only one who put it in my d mn ps3 XD
Stiffeno if you said if we already have it you mean if we have it on our ps3 in pkg format?? best way is buy a second vita and update it then copy urbanix to the cma and put it to the old one for cf uses ? no
and if someone did found how to copy it from ps3 hdd to vita it could help a lots of people i dont ask for help i mean if someone has figured out as i am not impatient and i know that this kind of discovery need time
I got both folders, question is how do you send them to your vita?
