Apparently we're on twitter too
Developer Virtuous Flame, the dev behind many projects including the recent Open CMA, just recently revealed some information on Chinese scene site duowan.com about a kernel exploit and Vita eCFW (a Custom Firmware running on the Vita within the PSP emulator) he’s been working on, dubbed ARK.
Virtuous Flame revealed that he has access to another working kernel exploit other than that of Frostegater’s, working on 2.02 and running his own version of a eCFW. This is extremely good news considering kernel exploits in the psp emu can be hard to come by, it’s always good to have more.
Virtuous Flame’s eCFW ARK is something similar to that of Total_Noob’s CEF. Virtuous Flame is already hard at work on a new eCFW Ark through a new kernel exploit, on the latest Vita 2.02 official firmware update.
ARK along with this exploit has some advantages compared to TN-C such as a neat feature of being able to instantly go into loading into the eCFW ISO menu instead of having to load the save data (note: this is most likely a feature of the game used for the exploit rather than ARK itself), like what we have seen with other exploits. Another advantage is that game compatibility and homebrew/emulator compatibility seems to be on par with TN-C, if not extremely better. The release date seems a bit unclear for now, especially with Frostegater’s upcoming exploit release.
You can see a video of it running below along with more information from the source, however do note that its not in English:
Sources close to the Pro team have hinted that more hackers than Virtuous Flame have been involved in this project, and that this could be the CFW Coldbird had been working on months ago, for which an encrypted version got leaked recently.
We will be following up with VF to get more details 
-
Is the exploit out? im new so i dont get a ninja release notice
-
Ho ho ho the release will come out soon, the date will be 2016, get ready
-
i just open up my fresh new vita, i gotta say it’s been 5 mins i’m waiting for exploit and time is too long (LOL)
-
I don’t see the release yet, those lying mother fuc@ing as$holes!!!! We all have been waiting for ever and those pieces of shi$ keep releasing stupid videos but no game yet. As$holes!!!
-
You sir are worthless.
-
Seconded
-
-
douchy mondays! someone doesn’t have much else to look forward to, cheesus
-
You are a moron. Please F off and die.
-
-
omg a leak was bound to happen.
scene is on chaos right now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-llZmPPNwU-
not what I expected, but I laughed anyway
-
-
lol props on that one. it’s more than I could do…
-
crap. now that song is stuck in my head0. lmao
-
-
hahaha epic!!!
-
Haha, absolutely love it
-
Oh thats great hahahaha
-
Indeed hahaha still laughing
-
-
-

this is coldbird’s eCFW I think, because he mentions “project arc” in this article: http://www.coldbird.uk.to/?e=8
-
There is quite a possibility about this, coldbird handed over command of the PRO team to Virtuous Flame (who was a good friend of his) so I really agree with you.
The only thing that I am wondering now is, because Frosty is also part of the PRO team and I have heard that PRO and TN are enemies so I would assume that the kexploit is going to be released with ARK instead of TN and maybe that is why there is a delay, so that the kxploit could be ported to ARK and properly tested.
But then most of this stuff is baseless
-
-
its always nice to have options…Patiently waiting for the ninja release…got myself another VITA for Christmas since my son craked my personal…come on NINJA CLAUS…
-
If is Coldbird’s work we’ll never see it i suppose
Otherwise, however, I would be glad to see a release of ark on frostegater’s kernel exploit -
So what is the exploit game
-
You never know.
Coldbird might be helping out behind the scenes, all secret like. I know if I had labored away on a piece of software like he did I wouldn’t want to see it go to waste.
Also gotta give mad props to the developers for their awesome work so far, as well as to Wololo for keeping this great website going despite all the constant drama.
Keep up the great work guys!!!
-
i second that RandomFur, i hope Santa Clause has some great stuff for the Devs out there working on Homebrews and CFW that we all enjoy…keep it up guys, there are people out here who DO APPRECIATE ALL your hard work…Merry Christmas to all…
-

-
You idiots should already know by now that there is no new exploit. I’m glad I still got my mad blocker and haven’t. Yeah you guys updated for no reason. Lol
-
Although it’s generally not a good idea to update unless you are sure you want to, can you remind me the last time we announced something here and didn’t deliver?
-
-
Hi love the idea this is fabulous it makes being straight yesterday’s news omg!
-
No exploit will be released. So, those who wait please enjoy your xmas & forget all about this. Sorry guys for deceiving all of you.

-
^^ dumb dumb
-
Yea, no one should take any of these comments as fact until an official blog post is made by us or we comment (See profile pic for legitimacy).
-
is already x’mas night..still no exploit i seen release..is this a scam or what. WTF am I doing then..
-
Yes you are right it’s all a scam just forget about it oh wait it came out this morning you missed it.
-
-
$&@$&@g troll.
-
i accidentally deleted the exploit..noo!!! what im going to do..OMG..WTF..LOL
-
I really hope you guys deliver toniggt :] Ive been checking the site literally every 1/2 hr today hoping, patiently waiting.. until then RED DEAD NIGHT
-
sory guys, i really accidentally deleted the exploit. well i guess bad things really happen when u want to release something..im really really sory guys, i really want to release it, i want too, but now i cant.
-
Dont lie u stupid mother fuc@ker u dont even have the exploit its frostgater that has it a$$hole
-
-
well… I think morale has gone down a bit :/
-
All these fucking trolls!
-
You all do realize anyone can use any name they want at any time in the comments. To believe anything that any of the fakes here are saying is hilarious.
-
I’d like to say “thank you!” to all of the people involved in any cfw over the years. By looking at these comments, I can’t see too many people that are grateful. So I’m gonna just say it! THANKS!
-
i see no one get to see the exploits yet..well x’mas almost over & devs, dont use ninja claus term anymore if u dont want to release it on x’mas..so us will not waste our time to wait for it on x’mas. Dont gove any false hope like saying ninja claus if u dont plan to release it coz it’s very annoying to us..
-
i 2nd to that. just saying that no exploit released in x’mas & will release at the end of the month or maybe not..is it really difficult to do that?. I wonder if frost & others like to see us like a stupid waging our tail with something that might even be released..FUCK U ALL..
-
2 things:
- first if you were not replying to yourself you would have a bit of credibility
- second, if you can’t be patient, find your own exploits and feel free to distribute them or not. It’s not rocket science, and this is largely documented.-
WTF walolo..u r scams..lol
-
I hate this site.. the dev too..WTF them all..ha3

-
guys the z said the exploit will be released 5 to 6 days from now..so dont waste ur time waiting anymore. It’s not ninja claus anymore so in summary it is at the end of this month, maybe the last day in December which is really stupid & annoying.
-
The Z is a piece of sh@it liar
-
hi people calm down
-
Well if it is released 5-6 days from now, im screwed cuz i dont think ill be in a place with internet………damn -_-
-
Oh! One of the devs should post a thread/article explaining this xmas event to ppl…maybe that will calm some down. :/
-
I hope the rude people posting comments on this site don’t ruin my chances of getting this exploit considering that i actually donated money in support.
You can either be patient and wait or try to find your own exploit and learn patience that way because im sure its not a quick process.
-
coldbird is back, check out his blog xD
-
cant wait
