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.
can anyone send me the psvimg of urbanix?? i g0t the license or the .pkg (24mb) but cant transfer it to my vita
the psvimg is encrypted according to the account details
and will be no use for you without the login data
i have urbanix and tm save/exploit or whatever sho can i run iso files/games i folow the tut but the game did not start please help me wololo
ok so it was useless to download the pkg with media go ?
i hoped to come home and send the pkg to my vita and everything is great
just downloaded it to my 1.81 psvita (us) sadly i just got my vita and updated all the way when i got it. so odds are this will still work on 1.81 right? $3 was no big deal, so if not its no big deal. just looking for confirmation on 1.81
thx
The exploit only runs on 1.81, so nothing sad about it buddy 😀
sweet! thanks for the quick response. i feel much better now. i guess i’ll be checking this website every couple hours for updates.
thx
well, am I the only one that fails to run this exploit? after the very breif white screen , the savegame loads, and then I’m stuck on a strange gray page with the urbanix title on top and a icon… as if i’m still in a save game selection menu, but without any characters.
My guess is that the custom menu is not loading, even after holding start for a few seconds, screen turns black and quickly goes back to the same broken “savegame selection” screen. any ideas?
Its all good, just add some homebrew, that actually was the loader >.<
Sony has removed Urbanix from JP store too XD
Woot I’m glad I had two memory cards I was able to get the game this morning for free with the code!
Good for you.
I was like 5 minutes late of getting it. My Vita was still on 1.80, so I was using the PS3 to put Urbanix on my Download List. But when I’ve finished updating the Vita to 1.81, it was disappeared from the Download List…. lol
lol that suck’s but there is a lot of games on the EU store that aren’t on us store so might stay EU
Damnd *** I was on a little journey trip the last three days.
I am sad now. *** of sony you suck ;P
Was worried about losing VHBL but this loads the hombrews haha love it!
Is it still up on the US store? I’m debating updating from MH for this.
I am going to stick with what I got and wait patiently with 1.80 MH VHBL. I can remember the early days of the phat psp where exactly like this. But now the psp is fully hacked and the same will happen here. So just be patient
There was 1.5 then came 2.0 gta eloader
Im not sure you can apply all things psp related to the vita. Sony learned something from their mistakes. Now they may have let the MH vhbl go for weeks due to (sales) or legal issues with it being pulled, however, they pulled urbanix fast. Do you think they would pull the usa version just due to paranoid delusion?… They know it is capable of running the Kxp.
Wololo i dloaded urbanix long ago thanks to you to bad i payed for monsterhunter 2 now when this is probably gonna be far better but thanks man your the man who informed me of the sexy stuff going on in the scene:)
There are much worse thing you could have gotten than MHFU. I personally love the game. BTW, he always warned that you purchase it on your own will. We all need to trust in people more. I feel that after sony releases a firmware update, then USA will get urbanix. I recommend that you do not go beyond 1.81. Also make a backup so incase you delete the license or somehow lose urbanix, you can restore from your own version.
I mean usa will get exploit, i do not think I can edit that post… anyway. the source code will be released after the next sony firmware. Just wait and see. In the meantime, search for a psp with extra ram that is hackable. You can join online matches with just about any adhoc title and you will love it.
Question: I’m currently on 1.80 with access to Monster Hunter exploit and VHBL installed. BUT i also purchased Urbanix(US) on PS3 yesterday and its currently sitting uninstalled presumably ready to transfer (if i’m not mistaken a 1.81 Vita ONLY)
Do i wait for the possibility of cfw working on a previous exploit (monster Hunter) or do i update and install Urbanix assuming thats possible on 1.81 before they release a FW update again…
Wololo was suggested to stay on whatever vhbl you got. I also think that’s safe
Pulled from JP store in midnight
Any word on the US store? Is it still up?
Still on the US store as of 2:05PM Eastern Standard Time October 3.
Thanks so much for the confirmation “Me” ^^^
I’ve got the game on my ps3 but it won’t let me transfer to vita? Any help
i have the same problem!!
sam poroblem!
same problem!
In dire need of a US version of the save file ;_;
lol same, but it will be made available in time.
I missed out on Urbanix! I could have had it for free with a code obtained on facebook! But I am on 1.80 with MHFU so I wasn’t to keen on updating to 1.81 just to download Urbanix! Hopefully something will emerge for 1.80 using MHFU!!
Good work developers, keep it up!!
*** :’/
i have URBANIX(eu,and us)installed on my ps3(not in download list,but on the ps3) can sony stop me from transfering to vita like how they remove it from ur download list? on 1.80 MH vhbl
I saw someone have the same problem.He can not transfer it to vita.Because he installed.why not keep the bubble and do not installing ?
There is a Jewel Keepers + Urbanix Bundle on the US PSN store. Will it work? D: Probably not ):
DON”T DOWNLOAD THE Jewel Keepers + Urbanix Bundle on the US PSN store. I did and my downlist only had jewels keepers no Urbanix don’t buy I wasted 6 bucks you do not have too.
Oh man! Thanks! Sorry sony sc*** you over like that though 🙁
Urbanix removed from the US/Puerto Rico PSN Store.
thanks God i moved to NJ lol, saludos hehe
It’s gone 🙁 I can’t download 🙁
If only I would have checked this website earlier!! And not have bought Sonic Adventure 2!!! >.< I could be playing Crisis Core RIGHT NOW!
Holly ***!!
I was removed from US store….
I just got my psn code 🙁
that psn code never worked for US
I am so sad 🙁
Man, I am glad I saw this before it was too late. I got Urbanix downloaded and immediately turned my Vita on to Airplane Mode. I left my data cord at home, so I can’t back it up yet, but, at least I got it before it was too late.
us psn pulled it about 45 min ago
Lol. I’m in airplain mode too.
Is it really necessary?)
From what I have learned, Sony can completely erase the game from your Downloads list, once they can verify whether or not you have purchased and installed it to your system.
Also, once a game is no longer available on the PSN, the regular CMA cannot transfer it, because it connects to the internet to check and see if the game is even available on the PSN to begin with.
Better safe than sorry. I’m not exactly planning on playing any online games or going onto the PSN in the next two hours, anyway.
not because you purchased it. It’s because it’s no longer in store. Games from downloads list must be present in store
The download list is simply something that redirects you to the store downloads. If something gets removed from the PS Store, then it automatically gets removed from your download list as well. When a game gets added back to the store, it gets added back to your download list as well. Being in airplane mode doesnt affect this process at all.
Oops, i didnt see the reply above 🙂
i just got us version of urbanix before it was pulled can anyone explain what im supposed to do like back up and ec.
same question.
opened cma looks exactly the same as common one…or not
Open CMA looks and runs exactly like the normal CMA, except that it does not connect to the internet and can be used without having a Wifi connection running on the Vita.
WoW sony u have the right to remove Games the I Paid from my game list. Guest what I Save.Thanks to All Devs who make this Real. AMEN
Someone please reply, is open CMA compatible with fw 1.81?
Its compatible 🙂
bought the us version in time WHEW, is there a US version of the save file? the eu one doesent seem to be reading.
Yes
Yes open CMA works with 1.81
What would happen if Sony removed the game as you were downloading it? I’m currently on my university’s wifi in Canada and it keeps fading in and out. I knew today was a bad day to go to school…
Pray xD
It would most likely time out. It gets removed from your download list too. Sorry but you are out of luck.
lol
US version THERE IS NO save files right now
