Total_Noob, famous developer of the CEF (Custom firmware within the PSP emulator of the Vita) is back with a project to bring the convenient PSP XMB to the PSP emulator on the Vita.
The first screenshot (see below) is pretty impressive, and I know it’s a feature many of us have been dreaming of. But this is still a work in progress and there are lots of obstacles to bring the XMB back to the Vita.
The idea is basically to copy some modules from a PSP 6.60 firmware, probably reverse engineer them a little bit to fix/remove the parts that don’t make sense as well as get them to communicate correctly with the PSP emulator on the Vita. Of course, distribution of such files (once the project is ready) might become problematic, as they will surely contain some code and graphics from Sony, but that’s something that will need to be addressed when the project is complete.

Total_Noob will be busy with real life and has to put the project on hold for now. He is looking for a trusted dev of the PSP/Vita scene to help him continue the work. If you have what it takes, you can contact him through the source below.
So what do you think? Pretty cool, right?
-
Fingers crossed for Flash on the vita! XMB looks awesome.
-
Oh hell yeah. That’d be awesome! D: D:
-
that shit would be dope another this that woulild is the ability to play ps2 games on he vita but of corse this only hacks the psp function but hey good work tn
-
You’re never going to see PS2 emulation on the vita. It is nowhere near powerful enough.
-
-
can you please explain what this project is about?
playing PSP games without exploits?-
It just puts the xmb dashbord to your vita. As opposed to the current launching system.
-
This will need to flash the Vita, right?
-
Lmfao u guys are funny it’s only gonna be a alternate menu for ecfw looool
-
-
-
will there ever be any jailbreak without exploits???
-
sigh, a jailbreak means to bypass security using an exploit. You need to find an exploit to perform any kind of hack. -_-
-
Ihope this does lead to psp iso exploit for the vita as getting the psp psn game exploits are not possible in some countries….
-
@vita hacker there already is psp iso support …. in the past 3 exploits urbanix mad blocker and uno …… also it was ported to old exploits …..
-
-
-
will there be another exploit because i didnt buy uno and i don have a ps3 and i would be wery thankfull if there are please respond if there will be/not be.
-
moving on…
-
trolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolloollololololololololololololololololololoololololoolololololololololololoolololololololololololoololoo

xmb would be a godsend. the current TN menu works fine for me, minus an annoying bug that crashes the CEF whenever moving a backup to ms0 or deleting a backup/homebrew. Using pspdoxmanager circumvents this, but I hope that with the xmb will come greater functionality as well as compatibility. It would certainly bring a tear of nostalgia to this gamer
-
NICE! This could mean that we can see a new batch of custom xmb themes coming soon too, assume that it would be possible to install these within the PSP-emu.

very well
-
wow
-
THIS IS GONNA BEE SIIIIICK I LOVE THE XMB

这里只有你个笨鸟!哈哈
-
用谷歌繙譯可能看得董幾句, 哈.

nimal ka bugok
-
Ctf’s lol
-
I was really hoping this was going to happen, as much as the custom menus work great the ability to have XMB would be awesome as it is just a great menu system!!
Sony should learn a lesson and use it instead of this blob menu system in the Vita!
-
tooo many shitty drama , this scene suck
-
One word: YESSSSSS! I have been thinking about this 4 a while now. I miss the XMB. Total_Noob for the WIN.
-
when you get down to building it is it like xml or is it more like C# or C++ … or an outdated programming language like the frog ….. sorry i’m a noob i should just look at tut on how to make an xmb lol
-
the peps on the endlessparadigm forums might be a big big help to this one!
-
ok how is this different from the vmenu which i have used for months and it works much better then TNC menu
-
shut up noob this brings nothing new except that its a big deal cuz its the psp xmb on the vita
-
speak for yourself noob there is already a psp xmb for ecfw and believe me i am no noob i modded every system at least few times
-
real psp xmb…you modded or used already made files available to everyone to follow a tutorial and think they hacked something?? either way the menu already out that you talk about,its just a theme;not the actual xmb
-
ok thank u now can this thing do anything more then the vmenu u call a theme but i dont think its a theme if u all vmenu a theme the tn menu is also a theme and so is this thing, they are all menu.pbp

that looks great!

Hey guys I got a quick question, I know how to install homebrew, emulators, and iso/cso but the only problem I am having is installing psx, I have psx eboots, but when I install them they dont run, I tried using the beta popcorn plugin and still wouldnt run can someone help, im on the uno exploit if that matters.
-
Again very nice work TN. This is a feature my vita’s cannot be w/o. It would be so awesome to load up uno or MBA, and be able to use the XMB just like we did on psp. MY only ? is if u scroll to games will they show up as they did on the psp, with PIC1.PNG, and PIC0.PNG. I wonder if the music that played while viewing a game icon will work to. But anyways nice job dude, I hope swomeone can see this thru to fruition! Congrats bro!
-
PLEASE WORK ON SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN THIS!
-
like ur moms for example?
-
-
Great work. I don’t have any exploit game in my ps vita. So I am wondering if there is any exploit in minis that PlayStation Europe offering in free at facebook as a Christmas gift.
-
I like, hope for a soon release! Great work!
-
before that right now we need to be able to transfer PSP DLC from computer to the vita or a loader,something like that :/
