Apparently we're on twitter too
Important update: it seems for the EU version, you need your console to be set to English language in order for the exploit to work. I’m sure Frostegater will look into this, but in the meantime, if you use the EU version, please switch your console language to English!
Happy new year again! We eventually got convinced to not wait any longer and release the files for Frostegater’s port of Total_Noob’s CEF for Vita Firmware 2.02.
As a reminder, this tool relies on an exploit in the PSP Game UNO. You must own a legit copy of the UNO game on your PS Vita Firmware 2.02 in order for this exploit to run. CEF will let you play PSP Homebrews and PSP backups on your Vita. It does not allow you to play pirated Vita games, or PS Vita native content. To summarize, CEF does what a CFW or a HEN would do on a PSP.
Installation / How to use
Installation and how to run are explained in the readme, but for the sake of it:
- Extract the zip, and copy the folder that matches your version of the game (EU, JP, or US) to your content Manager PSAVEDATA folder. For example: My Documents/CMA/PSAVEDATA/1234567890abcdef/NPEH00020DATA00
- It is recommended to install OpenCMA, although until Sony releases a new firmware, the regular CMA client is ok too
- Copy the UNO savedata to your PS Vita with the content Manager
- run UNO on your PS Vita, and press X (or O) to continue, this should load the exploit
What next?
Now you’ll want some homebrews, and an explanation on how to install them. You can find a good selection of PSP homebrews here, and we explain how to install them on CEF here.
For more, head over to our /talk forums, where I’m sure many of us will be sharing tips, tricks, and pre-packaged homebrews that will run out of the box for this exploit.
Download
Before (or after) you download and run this exploit, please consider making a donation to Frostegater below:
You can also donate to Total_Noob on this link.
If for some crazy reason you want to donate to me for the awesome job I did coordinating the ninja release, please donate to the Red Cross of your country, this will make me and you feel even better about this hack 
The files can be downloaded here. If you are seeing an old version of the download page, try this link instead.
Please report success/failure in the comments below or in the forums. I’ve tested the files several times myself, but a mistake is always a possibility.
-
error (after 100%) occurs after the completion of the game you want to back up the iso.
I can no longer start the CEF error also appears in the saved data at the time of the UNO.
It can be seen that the backup was successful after that, and turn the CEF data again, I was also able to successfully boot.
Can you reduce the frequency of errors Please, if possible if improvement.-
simply you don’t have space on PSV memory stick, for run game on PSV you need a minimum of 100 MB of free space, if you don’t have this minimum ammount of free space you can’t run or delete application on PSV.
-
The maximum capacity of the Memory Stick is my 32GB.
However, CEF will not recognize around space used is greater than 13GB.
So I was able to work from “UNO” to generate an error and not let to recognize the CEF again to delete the files of 250MB that you are trying to backup.
After all, in the current CEF, those who do not suffer from a large number of backup files much what good does that? -
After the problem is resolved I turn off the switch at the bottom of the setting items of CEF “Show PIC1″.

hey does anyone know if it’ll work with actual ps vita isos? like gravity rush or games with actual cartages?
-
Only PSP games, no Vita games
-
-
Anyone willing to gameshare UNO
Please Please I am desperate i need it before it gets removed
I need the game ASAP and i will pay you one i get money next week
I just want to get it before it gets removed
Thanks
please Help Me-
Add My on PSN : Murba-
-
No, go away with your begging.
-
Its impossible to game share on the Vita.
-
-
-
Hmm, is it possible to “brick” the Vita’s PSP sandbox?
-
No
-
Not really, you can crash it though, which may at most (afaik) cause your PSP to not want to turn off, theres a super easy fix tho, hold power btn for ~30 secs and in the recovery menu simply reboot.
-
-
Can someone please tell me what to do ?
I installed FTP and transferred some ISO to MS0:/ . I dont know if I get a corrupted ISO or what, but now I cannot load the CFW – That means I cannot start the FTP to delete the corrupted ISO.
Any suggestion how to fix this?-
u may have filled you ms and need to format the stick and reload everything try not to reach ur max space
-
and iso’s go ms:/iso/
unless if u use opencma
then u should be able to select iso and it is moved to correct destination it would need to be named properly EXAMPLE.ISO
-
-
Your ISO’s are in the wrong place. ms0:/ISO/GAME.ISO
-
-
It gets stuck at 0% when moving an iso.
-
Prolly some simple full memory problem, try turning off and on your PSV, if that didnt help you can go about ‘cleaning’ up the PSV untill your done installing your fav PSP isos.
1] Backup your Vita games & minis with (Open)CMA
2] Delete your Vita games & minis (on the Vita)
3] Restart the device (just 2 b sure)
4] Run the CFW, install all your games
5] Stop CFW, restart PSV (once again just 2 b sure)
6] Put back your Vita games & minis with (Open)CMA (they will keep their savegames etc)
-
-
Thanks everyone involved!!!! once again you guys are magical!
-
The ISO.iso issued could be fix by renaming the file from inside WINRAR. Please add this to the how to.
This is the problem for most of these people not being able to see their iso/cso.
-
Uno is still up on the us store
-
Is it not able to run japanese games or is there something i must do i tried playing bleach heat the soul 7 buti get error after a dark screen when i start the game my other cso’s run fine
-
Make sure its not patched.
-
-
I CAN NOT RUN THE HOMEBREW, BUT WHEN THE ENDS decompresses disappears and I CAN NOT PLAY WITH THEM. What will be the ERROR?
-
Did you try simply restarting the device & cfw?
of the 6 games i installed, 3 of them didnt go back to the overview after installing, but did install fine.
-
-
thanks again frostegater
-
is there any psx add on for 2.02 ecfw? psx eboot not working for me.
-
need help……im very new to this and i have no clue, my psp iso doesn’t work on my vita. I did the correct name and drag& drop it in the exploited folder, then copied it to my vita. but no game comes out at all…..i did the homebrew steps and it worked perfectly….but iso/cso doesn’t work…….someone help
-
and some homebrew doesn’t work…..e.x. FTP and SNES etc.
-
Ftp and snes worked for me because i used 7zip to rewrite INSTALL.ZIP

Guys this is my first time messin’ with the VITA and I can’t make it work:
I can’t seem to run anything as in I tried the UNO but it’s letting me play UNO. It’s not kicking into another sort of program.
Here’s what I did.
1. Installed Open CMA
2. Updated VITA to 2.02
3. VITA Airplane mode
4. Copied the “Save Data” (NPUH10027DATA00) into (PC) Documents > PS Vita > PSAVEDATA > 7ec66XXXXXXXXXXX5. Ran UNO
6. tried pressing X or O
7. It’s not doing anything and I’m still in UNO.
T.T
I’d appreciate a helping hand >.<
-
Did you actually copy the savedata from your pc to your vita? It is not mentioned in the steps you describe…
-
Oh yes I did. I’m sorry for not being able to write that down.
Right now, it managed to run. (The UNO game kicked me into a different UI..)
But I am not sure how to run ISOs with it.
Any suggestions please? I’m very dumb with these things.
Is there also a way to copy my saved data of games (from a PSP 3000) to this VITA/2.02 exploit?
-
There’s a tutorial on the front page of the blog. As for the games saves just do like you did there
-
K thanks. I’ll try.
-
-
-
-
-
I cannot run pspfiler
Is this ecfw run it? -
Getting an error after copying files over a few times: ‘Could not copy some content items. (C0-14265-8).
Any ideas?
-
Memory, once again, try restarting to clear out some mem, if that doesnt help backup & delete all your vita games & minis, install your isos, put the vita games & minis backup back on the vita, profit.
-
-
dose all psp homebrew work on this?
-
Most should work fine.
-
dose any one know if Clannad works?
-
I have tested it and it works.
-
how did you get it to work?
I extracted it with pspfiler then loaded it but the screen just goes black.
-
-
-
-
Some things dont (most reported seems to be the Snes9xTYL emu)
-
-
I will get visa card to donate think u
-
If you wanna donate but dont have a creditcard, (and paypal doesnt offer you to use a bank account like it does for me in the netherlands) you can check out visa’s 3v service (3v.nl, 3v.ie and prolly lots more) for a ‘voucher’ that will work as creditcard but can be bought in a number of ways.

in my case , i need to set my console in english (USA) to use the CEF TN… if i set my vita in Spanish doesn’t work… i’m playing MH3rd! muahaha!

-
I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you that I have a U.S. account and also the vita in U.S. .. I think it’s not going to work because the game is the JP version
-

It is great but it doesn’t work with Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, I finished the first story mission and it gives an error message and quits… Maybe it needs a bugfix rerelease of the CEF TN
-
I use Polish language in my Vita and UE game. Works fine, witn no crashes or freezes
No need to change language to english ;D -
can i install CEF TN using macbook ?
-
Does OpenCMA work on a macbook? because the awnser to that also awnsers your question.

i think i need to wait fo onother release…
as for now.. i must enjoy some of the Vita games…
congatulatios to all of you..
-

From: Dragda on January 2, 2013 at 3:03 am
Here’s the Fix to the EU version. Works fine in “spanish” language, not sure in others. All the credits to “The Z” the creator of the fix. http://www.mediafire.com/?icon9420lazurv9
Un saludo desde España.
Also works in ITA language.
-
-
all asian stores have UNO…can CEF be ported to these PSN??
-
Works for me, thank Wololo and Frostegater.
Emulators running except CPS2, which presents some flaws in this video and tricky to find roms functional, otherwise everything perfect.-
Did you get Snes9xTYL to work? :O if so, please share how.
-
-
So far, so good!
The UNO game, which I luckily already bought before the ninja release announced that this game would be the next game, has worked wonderfully with the UNO save game exploit, and I’m able to get to the TN menu with my games. Who would have thought UNO was the next game haha.. But now I won’t be able to play UNO lol. Oh well. Anyway, I REALLY love the fact that the loading time to get to the TN menu is a hell of a lot faster than Gravity Crash. It took about I think estimated 24-26 seconds to get to the UNO start menu, and then another like 7 seconds to get to the TN menu compared to Gravity Crash would took like 46 seconds or something and then you had to go to editor, hit exploit, then save map and wait more etc.. So yeah, I wanna give a big big thanks to those awesome hacker devs here and out there(Frostgater, wololo, TN, etc) Excellent work on the new save game exploit once again!! Without ya guys, I wouldn’t be able to play my beloved PSP games on my PSVita! Happy I don’t have to pay for them again. And I love the homebrews and being able to play some of classics. A+ grade for ya guys.
Oh, and I love the new PSVita web browser speed and Mail that came along with the new firmware 2.02, and the new Youtube app upgrade. So awesome. Now I can zoom through websites in no time without waiting for the screen to load different portions of the page. Also, Youtube, man.. Love the new options.. the more the merrier. Sony did good work.
GREAT JOB ALL OF YOU GUYS!!

First of all, thanks for all the work. The exploit is working great in my Vita and finally i can enjoy Kingdome Hearts, which is not available for buying.
But i have a problem, did someone could run MotorStorm: Artic Edge? I download several isos csos and allway get a black screen.Thanks again.
Gabo2D.-
Do not ask for download links here. Create your own isos with your own UMDS, and you won’t have issues.
-
You’re right! Sorry…
And thanks again for all the effort!
-
Please, if you can delete my commentary… it was out of place.
thxs

Just checked the (EU Netherlands) store, and UNO is no longer available!!!
Im guessing its being pulled from the other stores at this very moment aswell.
-
Thank you so much finally u did it, i downloaded n copied to my vita n it’s working line charm ………..
-
is it okay if i back my games and the exploit via open CMA and transfer to a larger memory card .. bec i am planning to but 32GB or do i need to purchase UNO again ?? sorry for the question, i,m new to this stuff ..
-
Yes it is, has been awnserd on this same page of comments already
And i doubt you can purchase it again, as its NO LONGER IN THE (EU) STORE
-
-
nooo i just got myself a psn credit voucher to buy Uno and its no longer there =[ is there any other way to get it??
-
What i have to do if i want to delete the copied games into the savedata of Uno?
-
ISO still won’t show up in the tn menu, i changed it to the ymenu and it still doesn’t show up…how come my iso/cso won’t show up? i did the correct naming step and dropped in the exploited files and still no iso in the ymenu…and also FTP doesn’t work too.
-
Put the name of the game. iso capitalized, for example: BLEACH.ISO (when they have to be 8 letters)….and the FTP is a solution in some comments that have done well, look it has to be

-
Hey everyone I posted a video on how to create a INSTALL.ZIP file check it out!

If not, is it even possible to make that happen?
If you can, than you guys should THNX
