A few days ago we showed you a work in progress of Acid_Snake’s port of VHBL to Vita’s Firmware 2.0. The Z replied quickly with his own youtube video showing VHBL running a few homebrews, using a VHBL port by Frostegater himself (yeah, expect to hear that name more and more, as he seems unstoppable these days).
I’m a bit late on that (sorry, I was busy with work and getting sick, both seem to be prerequesites for me around thanksgiving), as TheZ actually posted the video a few days ago already.
How is this different from Acid_Snake’s port? Well, for a starter, they are probably not using the same game exploit, but more importantly, The Z’s video of Frostegater’s new VHBL port shows actual running homebrews (more than the VHBL menu, I mean). In the video below, we see a Vita 2.0 running Wagic, GPSP, Masterboy, and PSP Filer.
There’s no confirmation on a release date yet, although theZ and frostegater hinted that this might happen as soon as this month or the next. That being said, if you can’t wait for a release, remember that we provide guides here on how to find exploits and port VHBL to them. People with a bit of training have been able to port VHBL to a new game exploit within 1h.

cant wait -.-
-
does this exploit doesn’t need any exploit games? such as mad blocker, urbanix and gravity crash.
-
You need a new game for this
-
Um the VHBL loaded too fast for it to be a save game exploit, I think they found a new way to load VHBL
-
But this is a kernel exploit right? So it means that I don’t need some save files of exploit games or any exploit games for this?
-
-
-
-
will the kernel exploit be released too? if so im updating my vita like the motherfucking fist of the north star
-
they said there wont be a kernel exploit released for a while because their so rare
-
NO, you have to wait like 1 or 2 years for that…
-
UPDATE! –> AHHHHHHHTATATATATATATATATATATA!
AAAAAHHHHHH TAAAAAAAAA!
-
-
Great news as always..
i’m so excited for this to come.. Thanks a lot! -
hey wololo when we will see the ps vita hack without psp game exploits?
I don’t have money to buy the games.-
me too
-
Do what every normal person does these days, Get A Job! if you think 20 bux is alot to pay for what you get then you hve not been in the scene very long. Hell I remember when it waqs 60 bux for an NES game. the vitas titles are very reasonably priced
-
reasonable if you have a good paying job and no family to support! haha most of these vita games have been pooop only game im glad i spent 40 on was disgaea and even that was a little steep considering its just a ps2 port. oh well im blalalalbbbllling
-
Disgaea 3 was PS3 port, but I see your confusion on thinking it’s a PS2 port since just like the rest of the games it has PSX graphics.
-
-
-
-
Mashallah, you can buy a Vita but can’t afford a game.
-
If you don’t have money to buy games, where the heck did you get money from to buy a PSVita?
Buy them 2nd hand, they are cheap. You can get some for 10 to 15 bucks. Get PS+, it costs you 50 bucks for a year and gets you Uncharted, Gravity Rush and more.
Or what is said already, get a job. Sell other stuff you own.
-
Personally I only had enough money for my vita because I saved my Christmas money for it. As for getting a job, everywhere I’ve gone to get one they said I’m not old enough
-
then dont get consoles if you dont have money for games, they are not free…
-
-
-
But u can afford a Vita? If ur a cheapskate then subscribe to the Playstation Plus and ull have lots of free games each month
-
Except when you stop paying for PlayStation Plus, you lose all your free games when the subscription runs out…
-
-
-
Yeah cool, thx for the news..
-
Question: As an exploit, would be possible to run Kernel on it in a future?
-
fuck the vhbl , the top is cfw tn-c
-
with this one you can run TN, if you are on 1.81 or below
-
-
“Frostegater himself (yeah, expect to hear that name more and more, as he seems unstoppable these days)”
thank you frostegater
-
sry to hear that you were sick over the holiday, Wololo. Hope ya feel better bud, yea frostegator is an unstoppable force, hes like a mad hacker, props and congrats to you sir. Unlike Mr. Snake who is selfish, you my friend have an undying loyalty to the scene. your efforts do not go unrecognized i shall donate to you some snacks and brew. Thank you my friend.
-
gravity crash exploit tn-c 2.00 frostegater
or psn store when day-
mmmm… what?
-
-
-
do we know how this is done ?
-
is not that a PSP game running in CEF?
-
i was under the impression this doesnt work on the vita
-
-
-
-
cf tn-c is top , vhbl is obsolete exploit
-
vhbl is not an exploit, and tn-c is harder to port.
vhbl can be launched through a usermode exploit, but tn-c also needs a kernel exploit which is harder to find.
the kernel exploit used in the past no longer works, so 2 new kernel exploits need to be found(one to keep secret for hacking and testing, one to publish for everyone else)
-
-
For those with no money you missed Urbanix…
-
still not sure the vita is a good deal. i like my lite cfw pro b10 6.60 & my lite cfe me 1.8 6.60 cuz of plugins & homebrews, & iso’s.
-
Obsecion with pokeshit,does he like other game than that shit?,Snes,clock tower,castlevania,donkey kong,ff iv,turrican.My god only pokeshit?,we will be able to play psp games too?,because im sick of waiting for sony to put games that worth like tales games,kingdom hearts,Fairy Tail and others.
-
This is good.
But is it possible that another CFE TN will be released anytime soon? -
Without a new Release of an Expolit, this is uninteresting for most Vita User! Respect for the work.
If this ist true: “NO, you have to wait like 1 or 2 years for that…”
Than no one cares about Hacks on Vita … no one wait and read every Day 2x 365 Days News to wait for a Release of an Exploit.
-
Anyone know why my vita and open CMA insisted on updating? I had no plans to update from TN to 2.00, but my vita and open CMA would not let me do anything without updating. I tried disconnecting from the internet but then it just insisted that I be connected to the web.
-
Wololo can do what he want it his site and if he want to he can do or say anything if you like it kiss my ass and his too.
-
i have found a kernal exploit in the vita not the psp an i will be releasing it on december 25 2012 stay tune
-
i’m releasing a dookie in your mom’s mouth the same day… stay tuned to my ass, dipshit
-
oh an if you guys dont believe im wololo brother if you look closly we have the same colour face as the picture you see so thats proof enough an also i will soon have my own wololo site name wololo second.com stay tune.
-
Pics or it didn’t happen.

I’ve been jumping around this site the past few days taking a look a the progress being made towards running CFW on the Vita. Somebody tell me if my understanding of this is correct.
A User mode exploit is one which exists somewhere in a specific game or piece of software for the console, and will allow a basic level of freedom with running custom firmware on the machine.
A Kernal exploit, on the other hand, is the holy grail and exists at the OS level of the console, and allows for full access to the system including editing the original Firmware. This is what you need for true CFW.
Is that right? Or am I totally misunderstanding.
-
Allmost, a kernel exploit is also found in a game in the Same way a usermode is, but a kernel exploit gives you indeed more options and more acces to your consol. But these exploits are for now only found(running) in PSP games. Thats why you are not Able to get the Full options That the vita offers you. You are stuck in the PSPemulator and not Able to use all the features that the vita features like running psvita games or using the touch screen.
Hope i made it clear
-
Yeah, that makes a bit more sense. So on the original PSP, were all of the exploits found via games? I noticed while looking at the original PSP’s CFW listed somewhere on this site that you didn’t actually need to own a specific game to get CFW working correctly. Or were the exploits used to modify the PSP found using different methods?
Just trying to put 2 and 2 together, I’m interested in how all of this works. And thanks!
-
With the original psp there was another kind of exploit found witch You where able tot activate with a Pandora battery(hacked battery), Thuis exploit was not able to be patched by Sony because it was triggerd by hardware. These days we know how to find exploits in pspgames en because there is a PSP emulator in the vita we can plat with thise exploits. However we dont know how the vita works so we have trouble finding exploits and using them
-
psp had a few other kinds of exploits, but they where based on features not present in the emulator.
the m33 firmwares for the 1k and early 2k models used an exploit in the bootloader, which goes a bit further than kernel mode and even lets you replace system files completely.
the first hen for all psp models(“chickHEN”) and temporary custom firmwares based on it made use of an exploit in the xmb, specifically the loading of certain types of image files in the image viewer.
several exploits where also based on free demo versions I think, which where not available through psn and thus can’t be installed on a vita.
other than that they are pretty much the same as current vita exploits.and the latest exploits are actually in the signature verification, allowing the cfw launchers to be signed as if they where official demo games.
-
I think that answered pretty much every question I had, thanks for the great reply. I guess I’ll keep watching the Vita scene to see what happens.. It will be cool if they finally discover an exploit that will allow us take advantage of all of Vita’s features. I’m guessing that will probably take a while.

anyone got info about open cma development on 2.0 ofw? Coz i read to some post saying exploit will be useless if there’s no open cma..
-
It wont be useless you just have to get your pc and your vita off the internet
-
but i think u can’t use cma w/o internet connection..
-
Dont know it for sure but in the beginning you Will be Able to use the normal cma and if you put the ssh client on the vita you Will be Abel to get files on it without cma or opencma
-
what is this ssh client thing? Can i also transfer video, pic, etc.. with this?
-
did you mean FTP? SSH its other protocol to enter command via a secure shell on a remote terminal -_-
-
Yeah i mixed Those two up
-
-
-
-
-
Ey wololo do you have any idea how far They are with the vita exploit( without the psp emulator)???
-
Are Vita demos completely free of exploits ?
Can’t we concentrate for exploits on game demos like the Patapon PSP exploit, so that everyone could get their hands on VHBL..?// -
Hey guys PSP Loco Roco Midnight carnival demo is available in the US Store. So please somebody can check it if it contains exploit? I don’t have PSP. sorry for the bad english
-
i dont know shit all about exploit or anything but i am curious how sony patch the game. do they analyze the vhbl? if so, is there a way to code some garbage and hide the actual code that make the difference? so even when they release it back onto psn again there might be a chance it still can be used as a exploitable game?a
-
can the vita if hack can have a ps2 emulator or gamecube? with the power it has.
-
Ps2 emulators such as PCSX2 are incredibly processor intensive, meaning you need a high end PC to play games at a decent speed. Unless we can get some insane levels of optimization on the Vita, I doubt it’ll happen. I’d be happy with a decent N64 and hopefully a Dreamcast emulator.
-
-
What is the game we need to get the new vhbl
-
no body is gonna tell you that until the realse day!
-
or he can just get a ninja release sooner than the release that.
-
-
By the time the Vita get free download copies of the games i will be able to understand how to use this kind of things JAJAJAJA i made it the first time but i didnt have those games to test it.
-
I cant wait till they release it I’m one the unlucky few who is stuck on 1.81 and cant do nothing but wait till the 2.0 is released. I hope its out by the end of the week
-
correct me if im wrong, but in my observation the vhbl exploits released here has kernel exploit also. remember mhfu, super collapse and the other title(i forgot the name). before wololo said that it was only in user mode and it’s only for vhbl but later someone found a kernel exploit on them. i’m assuming now that there is a big probability that the next title would have a kernel exploit on it!? given that someone finds an exploit like tn did.
-
What’s the difference between this kernel exploit to the previous exploit “CEF 6.60 TN” ??????? Does the kernel exploit needs some games to run VHBL?
-
I have a working open CMA working on the newest 2.00 firmware for the ps vita. I am not a dev but i used PSN’s original CMA.exe file in conjunction with OPEN CMA r4 files it seems as though i have bypassed sonys update i give all credit to Vir Flame for the hacked CMA. i will be posting a link where you can download open CMA along with instructions on how to install open CMA tomorrow. I hope this helps.
-
AWESOME WORK !!
Where will you post it?
-
-
IT’S good NEWS
if need test ,PLS give me massage
tks
-
What’s the difference between this kernel exploit to the previous exploit “CEF 6.60 TN” ??????? Does the kernel exploit needs some games to run VHBL?
-
What’s the difference between this kernel exploit to the previous exploit “CEF 6.60 TN” ??????? Does the kernel exploit needs some games to run VHBL? Pls reply ASAP.
-
perfect news can’t wait any more O(∩_∩)O
-
nija release right?
-
release the exploit for 2.00 vita
-
did anyone tried the old patapon 2 save exploit?
-
When can we expect new exploit for 2.00?
-
Who really knows only the devs know
-
I was hoping that it would’ve been released.by the end of.the week but I guess I’m wrong. What I think is gonna happen is that either A. Its gonna come out before the newest update B. By Christmas or C. Like how the iPhone hacks was that they might wait till 2.1 and then try and hack that one

Apparently we're on twitter too
