Total_Noob brings the XMB to your Vita, looks for a trusted dev for help
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?
“So why dont these hackers won’t (if they could) hack vita for being able to play pirate backups ?”
First, they aren’t hackers. Second, some people (like me) just rip their UMD to only bring 2 memory cards and not a hundred UMDs.
Sorry for my bad eglish, I’m french >_>
= =！
Can someone please explain to me… what is this?!
Great and Exciting work TN 🙂
wouldnt the PS3’s GUI be a bit better? I know there’s little difference, but why not go all out?
Tried it, the ps3 icons are too plain to look good on the Vita, PSP icons look best.
Understandable that experimentation is key to unlocking the PS Vita’s true potential. But I’m sick of seeing the Vita’s PSP emulator being the only exploit being worked with. Efforts should be geared towards working on a native hack for the Vita. I feel as if Going through the PSP emulator is very limited and isn’t showing the Vita’s true potential.
native hack for the vita isnt coming out for quite a while. It would be a SHAME for a native hack to be patched this early in the vita’s release.
And that’s IF one gets released
Oh come now. You say that as if it’s so impossible.
Please. Someone, somehow, someway, will most likely figure it out. No need to be so pessimistic.
There is a native hack : UVL
The thing is it won’t be released so soon because it is the only hack we have and we were lucky to get it.
If it were released now, the exploit would be wasted, instead the plan is to learn everything we can about the PSVita and to find more hacks.
Then later on when we have enough information and the tools to hack the Vita, UVL will go publicbut not yet
@sparks: if you think its so easy go do it what r u waiting for
The problem is no one really has experience with any native Vita hacks. PSP savegame exploits go WAY back so it was an easier way to bring homebrew to the Vita.
True. I suppose it has more to do with understanding the hardware than releasing information that one has no true understanding of. I suppose I didn’t see it from a hackers point of view.
When the PSP was released, no one knew how to hack it, we were lucky to have a firmware with no security at all which gave us a kickstart (direct kernel access)
In the case of the PSVita it is completely different, this time Sony hasn’t made that kind of mistake, we have the tools for the PSP so we have ePSP exploits but it isn’t so easy to hack a device which we have no information about especially when the device is so locked up that we are lucky to have PSP hacks.
No one has any idea about what the PSVita RAM looks like, there aren’t any tools for it, so we can’t hack it as easily.
Damnit Sony…Don’t they realize that accessibility is what makes consumers want their product?
They give you all these features for the Vita, yet I’m sitting here bored out of my mind because they won’t even release anything mildly entertaining for it.
It’s no wonder people are drawn towards hacking it.
They choose to focus spending resources on *** hackers. Instead of appealing to what they already have, a beautiful piece of hardware that is capable of so much more.
I’d also like to add that XMB menu is completely redundant in itself seeing that the Vita’s main main can do everything the PSP can and more.
I don’t know, it just seems slightly pointless to me.
The XMB is supposed to be used in the PSP emulator
theres something you have to learn kiddo, devs program bc they love doing it, they dont do it for u
true I can understand that.
I mean without getting all technical, I’m just a person who has to have a reason to do anything.
I suppose enjoyment is theirs.
Also I’d like to add that you’re pretty damn ignorant yourself. Not once did I say it was “easy”
thanks for more great work TN…not sure why some people are so disbelieving though, because ive never known TN to post anything fake, and he has been a staple in the scene for many years now…im excited to see the end result of this, and i am wondering if CXMB would be possible with it…i love making my own ctf’s and would love even more to see that work come to life on the vita…thanks again TN and best of luck to ya bro.
Isn’t there some way that this can be released as a script that requires the 6.60 firmware files, and then modifies them as an addition to whatever files are released?
That, while requiring a bit of extra work checking the output of the script, should dodge any “ethical” (ie legal lol) issues that are inherent in a release of a modified XMB.
While it might require extra effort, it should limit liability and then the websites that put up the firmware files or put up finished XMB-for-PSV files would be the ones at risk, while everyone would always have the option of making the files themselves (with the addition of their PSP firmware files)
It doesn’t require modified firmware files. Patches to these files are done by the core.
you should try to reverse engineer 6.60 PRO-Cfix3 from pro team. that would really improve the XMB! Also bring the “inferno” ISO Driver to the vita so that we can play games from any country on any vita as well!
Fingers crossed for Flash on the vita! XMB looks awesome.
Oh heck yeah. That’d be awesome! D: D:
that *** 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.
actually, it is possible and some sources close to sony have told wololo that sony is actually working on a ps2 emulator for the vita and/or the ps3
It’s not technically possible. The only way to have Ps2 games on the Vita would be to Port them.
YO YO Acid_Snake!
You’re a DEV amirite? so start working on it. lol
Woow looks great, just think, croos bar media its better than menu vita. I hope a lot of waves on that.
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?
No, it will alter the emulated PSP flash with
*** 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.
Uno is still available on the us store. Get it there instead of asking for a new exploit
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.
-0
very well
wow
THIS IS GONNA BEE SIIIIICK I LOVE THE XMB
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!
One word: YESSSSSS! I have been thinking about this 4 a while now. I miss the XMB. Total_Noob for the WIN.
hi wololo
a new exploit by *zaiii* oO
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
Please hacket ps vita!!
Lan hackleyin artık şu konsolu!!!!
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!
I hope compatibility with urbanix 1.81
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.
