Release date of TN-V, more information
After the announcement of TN-V we now have some more information to give, including when you can expect to get your hands on it!
Total_Noob’s TN-V is coming along and in the mean time people have had questions about what TN-V will be like and when the release will be so hopefully this will clear some of these questions up.
6.60 TN-V is a Custom Emulator Firmware (CEF) for the PSVita. TN-V will be a complete XMB experience on your Vita making use of the UNO 2.02 exploit (right now there are no plans for any other exploit support). TN-V is the whole PSP environment emulated. You’ll basically have a working PSP inside of your Vita with TN-V however with some features there are either problems or are not working like videos, sensme, or parts of the camera feature. Everything else you’d expect is supported.
Now, with TN-V the PSX compatibility has been increased compared to ARK, however its roughly the same. Another thing that will still not work with TN-V is PSX sound; again something that will most likely not happen because of ColdBird leaving the scene. For the technical side of things for those asking why, to recap, it is because the PSP used a second processor called the Media Engine to emulate a PSX’s sound. The Vita doesn’t emulate this processor when emulating the PSP so we can’t get normal PSX audio working. Another outcome of this is that with TN-V you wont be able to access videos unless another solution is found.
Some of the features of TN-V include but are not limited to:
- Full Internet Radio feature
- MS Speed up feature
- Ability to use and play music through XMB
- Access to the camera (Some issues with saving and other issues)
- Almost all plugins are going to work in example dayviewer or CXMB (A CTF Theme loader) will work.
- An install function to the game_plugin_module which allows moving ISOs and extracting archives.
- Vast homebrew support (Unsuccessful homebrew launch will now return to the VSH with an error code instead of crashing.)
Lastly, regarding the release date of TN-V, we now have a better estimate in mind and you can expect to get your hands on it sometime in March 2013. Furthermore, due to the fact that TN-V is a very ambitious project with a lot of hard work going into it, depending on the amount of bugs that need to be fixed and whats left to be done to ensure a quality release it could be sooner or later than that however that time frame should be pretty solid.
Just curious if this will support Playing UMD .iso mounted files? That is something I would really like to see as I have a large movie collection on UMD and would like to play on that nice big vita screen.
Also with the psx sound issue……how is sony doing it? Are they using a vita native psx emulator? If so shouldnt we be looking for a way to expliot it and do something like an inject where you inject a different iso into the emulator and then load it back on Vita? With the lack of the proper audio processor support in the vPSP emu I just wonder if we will ever get full speed psx support with sound in eCFW
Why all the imature BS on this thread….***. Cant we keep the discussion about the subject at hand……grow up losers who are posting this flame war ***
nice work again totalnoob, my hats off to you my brother, i am forever greatfull for the support and tireless devotion to the scene that you give. thank you and keep up the good work.
I am going to ask a particular question in order to (hopefully) prevent morons from asking this over and over again: Will PSX games have sound??? I know the answer is probably “no”, but again, I am asking this so the morons hopefully don’t. After all, when they get an answer they don’t like, they ask repeatedly until they hear what they want, or they get banned. lol
