Vita: Teck4 ports TN’s eCFW to a new game exploit
If you missed both the Ubanix and the Mad blocker alpha exploits, today might be your lucky day. Japanese Developer Teck4 has ported TN’s eCFW to a new game exploit. The game is, as I type this, still available on most stores.
A few weeks ago, developer frostegater announced he was working on a new game exploit in order to bring Total_Noob’s eCFW to even more Vita owner. Sadly, he discovered while working on international versions of the game, that porting his exploits to all locales would not be as easy as expected. Luckily for us, Teck4 also had his own exploit in the work, and was nice enough to share it with the world. Frostegater eventually contributed to this exploit as well, by porting it to the US and EU versions of the game.
The game with the vulnerability is Gravity Crash Portable. In order to run TN’s eCFW through Teck4’s exploit, you will need a legit copy of that game, that you need to purchase online for your Vita on Sony’s PSN. It is available in most stores, but not all of them. If your locale doesn’t have the game and you still want the exploit, it is recommended you create an account in another locale, and buy the appropriate PSN card (for the right store) online.
As for the previous game exploit releases on the Vita, we have gone through a “Ninja” release over the past few weeks in order to let people know about the game a few days before the public announcement. If you’re interested in joining our future Ninja releases, you just need to subscribe to our forum at /talk. On that topic, I might have an article to write about leakers and the sites that blindly let them leak…but on the other hand I am not sure I want to provide free advertising to the sites that jeopardize the scene.
The files for the exploit will be distributed in a few days. In the past, Sony has usually removed exploited games from their stores within 48h, and we have generally released the files after that.
Please note that I haven’t personally tested the JP exploit or its ports to the EU and US versions, but Teck4 and frostegater are both trusted members of the scenes, as well as their testers.
I stay in the US.
Can i download this game using ps3 4.30 cfw then i will transfer this to my ps vita will that work?
Yes but you need to transfer it to your vita before the vita firmware 1.82 is released. When you use CMA on PS3 it requires PSN authentication and once the new firmware is out it will force you to update your vita before you can sign in and do the transfer. I have purchased the last 3 expliots this way but just make sure to transfer ASAP
if i buy the uk store,or australia?also can??
whice store is us/eu?
Is the game still available on the uk store and how much space does it take and what is the price? Should i update fromn the 1.80 monster hunter exploit?
its a very small file unlike MHU. but i dont know if its ported to the uk store.
already purchase asia store,if really no exploit for asia,also no blame anything.
also really thanks wololo~
I have the fisical game, buy it in sears,
it will works also with the fisical version?
Thanks.
How do you expect to play a UMD on a vita? No.
thanks teck4 and frostgater for this! the files goin up today?
hey i bought the game now is there anything i have to do now?
Wait, until files are released.
THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW PEOPLE KEEP SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT SAVE TO COMPUTER BUT IM A NEWB I WAS A GREAT PSP HACKER THO LOL. Q? CAN WE PLAY N64 ON HERE AT GOOD SPEEDS
you need to backup your game using opencma, DO NOT connect to internet before you backup your game!
Yes you can play N64 but only some games are at good speeds because it doesnt use the full specs of the vita since it runs in the psp emu
Hey.
Is this true: The exploit works only with US, EU and JAP versions of Gravity Crash?
I downloaded mine from the South African Store as I am a South African citizen.
Yeah its true, but you might get lucky and it might work? Low chance but hopefully if this one doesn’t work for you there might be another chance…. we hope.
what about the Canadian ps store? is that considered to be the US version?
I’m sure I heard somewhere before that the South African store is the same as the EU store
Yeah the South African store is the same as the EU version.
I finally tracked down my comment/question 🙂
So your telling me there’s a chance it might work? Close enough to give me some hope.(fingers crossed)
Thanks Gents.
Yeah I’m also from South Africa, and in past exploits (MH) the game from the South African store worked fine. Just make sure you use the EU exploit files:)
Cannot believe how long i’ve been waiting, if this doesn’t arrive soon im going to skip it altogether.. haha GOING NUTS sitting wanting to play DBZ back up!! sigh but I hope the files are released by tomorrow latest… suppose I dont decide that now do I.
me too man i wish it were released 🙁
I finally managed toet an exploit game! 😀
Just downloaded the game off of the US PSN store. Thanks for the heads up!
My gravity crash has an autosave i cant disable and as far i can tell no loaqding option anywhere in the menu, is that part of the plan? or am i already sitting on a patched version??? i wonder since i downloaded it the 3rd november ?? Did i go wrong somehow
Genesis Eden
BTW, Its a EU version i picked up
Genesis Eden
Games do not get patched. Your game is fine, thats normal.
Mine also has a autosave and no way to load a save. Was I too late on this.
I take it that it auto loads the exploited save, just like the MBA one did.
The auto save is normal.
Guys mine has an autosave feature as well and I have an American version O.O. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
Im pretty sure it doesn’t matter if it auto saves because as soon as you boot the game it looks for a save file to load. If you replaced with the hacked save file it would just load from that as soon as you boot the game.
is this game already patched
Yes or no ???
:S
The game won’t be patched the vita software is and that won’t happen until 1.82 is released
go to the game info on the vita if its on 1.0 its not patched
Is the game already removed from japan store?
still exist until now 😀
@steveothekilla, you need to back it up cause if you delete everything/format your memory card or it becomes corrupt you will lose this game forever and wont be able to get it back, if you try to download it again from PSN it will be patched and will not work with the exploit.
thanks man and will we be able to play psp iso on vita i really need to
TO ALL ASKING ABOUT THE AUTOSAVE FUNCTION:
The fact that the game has an autosave is pretty much irrelevant.
Sadly you won’t be able to play the game if you choose to use the exploit but once the exploited save is copied to your vita the exploit will simply load when you would normally load your save.
If you do wish to play the game and still have access to the exploit you would have to swap the save files whenever you desire to do one or the other.
I’ll repeat again THE AUTOSAVE FUNCTION WILL STILL PERMIT USE OF THE EXPLOIT.
It seems I stand partially corrected.
While autosave does not affect functionality it seems this exploit does work with your save file rather than loading a different save (like Urbanix which also had autosave functionality)
If it’s patched it’d mean that Sony patched it before Wololo even announced it, considering my version has the autosave as well and I got it before he went public.
It’s probably just a troll having some fun with a bit of minor hysteria. Sony wouldn’t patch the game like that anyway, you can’t go digging into code and update on a dime, especially with a THIRD PARTY game.
They’d pull it and work in something on the firmware side, rather than touching the games code.
When I first saw someone mention it I had a mini heart attack but then I pretty much went through the same thought processes as this. Good to see I’m not the only one who thought about it that way.
what personally i think taht sony knew it before the public release of gravity crash.
Hopefully the files will work
🙂
The game never came down and the firmware never went up, so it’s unlikely.
We’ll see, never say never and all. I’d assume the save function has to do with it being a scaled down, portable version of the PS3 game.
okay when i do a backup from my vita to my pc where does the backuped file end up?? and can i copy orginal psn games from my pc to the vita i got burnout legende on my pc downloaded from media go since its not up for download on psn is it possable to transfer it somehow got open cma already but not ftp since im wating for the GC exploit
why dont sony remove the game ?
its still in the stores .
RARE :/
it is a little weird. they usually take it down in a few hours.
It’s the weekend, probably no one on the Sales/Store team is around. Brilliant idea to do this on a Friday once everyone leaves office 😛
That’s rather probable, actually. In addition to that, Wololo may have even timed it like this so they won’t take it down, more people will get the exploit, and Sony will get more money. Sony has a lot to thank us for.
Plus they were working on the release of the new store layout….. maybe they will forget to patch it too. haha
Maybe it will be off tomorrow or Tuesday when the store updates. heck they might leave it up and make a new firmware since the sales on that game are skyrocketing. lol
$9.99 times 100’s = alot of cash for a game some might not like. lol
think they think since its still psp emulation they not to worried since psp on the vita still sandboxed
hmmm maybe they makin some serious CASH!!! LOL
if you start up a orginal bought psn title and the screen simply just turns black (Same ting happens every time) could that mean a possable exploit or *** 🙂
Finally we all can play our psp isos/csos ,homebrews ,emulators plugins.
Great work wololo and teck4
Best scene ever 😀
Hey can i put cfwcheat in this exploit
Is there cfwcheat for this exploit
yes
When do we believe its comming up the exploit i mean??
can i copy orginal psn games from my pc to the vita i got burnout legende on my pc downloaded from media go since its not up for download on psn is it possable to transfer it to the vita somehow
No that is not possible.
that is. you must copy with the license files. TN-B supports loading PSN games.
MEDIA GO is only for PSP! 😛
@wololo sure hope you do release an article shedding some light on these information leakers. Its like people are getting a golden oppurtunity and they abuse the wishes of the orinal informer. thanks for everything wololo
with a ninja release you should have ninja assasians too seek out and punish those who abuse the rules
where’s the “LIKE” button when 1 needs it.
I was thinking the same thing! lol
The reality is sony will have their people crawling all over the forums, the idea that you can find them and remove them on a public user base is kind of a joke ..
Wololo after unlocking the vita can still download games for psn and play online?
Yes until a new firmware comes out.
48hour is over!THANK YOU WOLOLO!!
“48 hours” wasn’t a statement that he would release anything in that time… “48 hours” was just about how long it takes Sony to remove the exploitable game:
QUOTE: “In the past, Sony has usually removed exploited games from their stores within 48h, and we have generally released the files after that.”
but we all excited so it’s hard to suppress excitement, and waiting is the last thing i wanna do >_>
I CANT WAIT FOR NARUTO ON MY VITA :}
SAME!!! And DBZ!
Só esperando os arquivos!!! xD
The good thing about waiting is that since Sony probably did not take the game down yet then way more people can get the game. AND if Sony take the game down then what the heck are they gonna do. They cant patch something that doesn’t exist. Meaning since the exploit files are not out yet then they cant do nothing.
Lets do this!!!!
