Its funny actually when wololo informed me a couple of years ago that davee hacked my PSP 3000 for a downgrade, i was literally over the moon, but now im going to get a vita in august and i don’t see why other people don’t understand this but personally i don’t want the vita to get hacked because Sony will get so pissed off again and then just discontinue it just like they did with the GO in 2011, and what will happen? our money will have gone down the drain.

^ then r u pirating N64 games? Jks, but i would love a console that can emulate games from other consoles. It’s too bad tekken 4 is on ps2, i could’ve had the whole collection legall!
I’m wondering if these exploits are still left in the US store because then people will buy it for homebrew not piracy so in a way sony gets the big bucks for user exploits:D

I completely agree with SKFU. If holding off on the firmware to determine its vulnerabilities, so be it. I personally can’t wait for the Vita to be hacked. I don’t want it for backup vita games, but for the homebrew. I bought my old PSP Slim with CFW in mind. I still bought UMDs of the games I wanted. Granted I usually spent most of my time playing emulators, but my point is, not all “pirates” are actually pirating. I really like my Vita, but once I can play some N64 on the go, I will love it.

I can donate to SKFU right?
His comment about the cat&mouse is reassuring. I don’t want to keep downloading and reapplying hacks. i just want a fully hacked vita, playing vita games and psp games.

Unless you’re experienced with actually developing this kind of thing, SKFU knows better than you what it can affect. For example, maybe he’s seeking a way into the hardware, that will need the same exploit game to “get in”. If sony knew this exploit, they could possibly find and destroy that entry point before SKFU can release it.

Please don’t just pull “facts” out of your ass, trying to contradict those who are actually doing the work and know what they’re talking about.

I’m afraid Dark_AleX has secured the PS Vita… It seems unpenetrateable!

No system in history, that I know of, has “died” due to piracy as a result of hacking/unlocking In fact it’s my thoery that user-friendly hacks that allow someone to access thier purchased device without restrictions (as it should be) gives a lot of incentive for one to purchase said device. Also, someone mentioned in one of the comments that those who usually pirate games were never planning to purchase those games anyway which I think is true in most cases. I’ve never heard of anyone who wants and can afford games pirating them.

This is just a vita native user exploit. Imagine a vita native kernel exploit. It would give us more power for emulation than a user exploit

I look forward to your hard work DEVS i look to a time where PS VITA is at the top of the market in terms of homebrew, features and exploits to enable further breaching into this great hardware. Thank you all, SKFU keep it up! BIG THUMBS UP

i dont think he needs another cent! The amount of dev units he has for one, and the fact that he sold one, when he should have givin it to wololo, and community who would release what should be released. A cfw that allows full use of vita power for emulation, and homebrews! Wololo would not release a cfw that would allow piracy, or “backups” to be used on the system. I think he has quite a good track record for pursuing the above. Enough said.

This is not a kernel exploit SKFU has only reached a user-mode exploit so it may be a while before he dips fingers at a kernel-mode exploit
