Apparently we're on twitter too
The highly anticipated Custom Emulator Firmware TN-V from Total_Noob is finally here!
TN-V brings the XMB experience to the Vita and has been in development for over half a year, and is finally ready to be released. The goal was to bring a full PSP CFW to Vita and its been finally accomplished. TN-V supports ALL exploits we have ever released and will support any future kernel exploits that happen to get released, but remember that there’s a small chance of one being released anytime soon considering the rarity of them. The next release will probably be VHBL which doesn’t support TN-V and can only do emulators and homebrew.
Below you can find the features, instructions and some tips. Please read through it thoroughly but if you have any issues, head over to the /Talk forums! We hope everyone enjoys this, and special thanks to TN for his hard work!
Some of the features of TN-V include:
- The whole PSP environment
- Recovery menu and VSH menu (many options to set)
- Support of plugins
- CPU speed changement (makes no sense, as the difference is only minimal
) - Install Addon
- Network update
- 1.50 kernel homebrews compatibility
- Higher homebrews compatibility (VLF homebrews)
- High PSX compatibility (without sound)
- High backups compatibility
- Support of prometheus patched backups
Instructions: (Note: This requires an exploit to use, TN-V is not an exploit itself!)
- Search the game which you own in ‘savedatas’ and extract the associated savedata to ‘\PS Vita\PSAVEDATA\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\’, (The ’XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ is a bunch of random numbers and letters.)
- Transfer it to your PS Vita using CMA.
- Obtain the 6.60 EBOOT (link below!) and copy it to the savedata folder with the name ’660.PBP’
- Run the exploit game and hold the R trigger while the game is loading the exploited savedata.
- Once you are in the recovery menu, select: -> Advanced -> Install 6.60 files
- As original OFW files are needed, this step has to be done. But ONLY ONE TIME.
- If you are not familiar with the recovery menu, only adjust the settings which are recommended.
- Enjoy 6.60 TN-V
If you’ve found a bug, please either contact Total_Noob or write the problem in the official /Talk forums topic which is collecting bugs. If your problem lies on the initializing of the exploit, please report the debug color which appeared.

This looks amazing. Beautiful menu with the best ecfw features yet!
However, I’m still glad I updated. ^ ^
I was really missing the online play and video streaming.
And they were as good as I remember!However, if you prefer the benefits of CFW over online, definitely get TN-V. It does look awesome.
-
I got error 80431063 when I try to open the Store . How can I fix this? internet is working but not the store.
-
Try to restart the console once again.
-
-
Anyone know how to transfer PSP Iso and psone eboots with CMA and play them on TN-V?
-
not gonna answer b/c that’s pirating, but google is your friend…
-
Sorry forgot to say “backups”.
-
If you want to use that method you need to zip it and out it in the save folder. However it is much easier to just use VitaFTP.
-
-
Iso =/= piracy, unless you download.
If they don’t define whether the iso is self-dumped, don’t probe. They’ve asked their question without confessing piracy. Nothing else is our business.
It’s not our job to investigate their real situation. They’re just asking a legit question.
“Rooting out” unadmitted pirates only hurts us all.
Cringe every time some fool doesn’t get that.
(Not aimed at this poster. Seperate related point.)

You need to zip is and put ib in the save folder but it is much easier just to use VitaFTP

worked like charm
thank you 
now Ark and TN-V i posses btw..did u mention that u got to update CMA and then put the files From CMA 5 and then runn the run.bat file as well setdll to copy the TN-V LOL i lost like 5 min off doin it the best was 2 min job nicely done -
did this – works perfectly. installed a sweet Chrono Trigger theme and made a sweet background for it (though the theme is missing a Magus icon of all things O_o…)
Amazing work TN. Couldn’t connect to PSN (said was under maintenance) but thats no biggie.I am assuming i would need to install this on both my memory cards now correct, not just the one?
-
can anyone help. in the instructions it says to change the home button configuration to the touch screen rather than start-select. how do we change this? is it a native Vita setting or within TNv?? i checked the tn-v recovery config and couldn’t find anything for it. maybe i just dont play psp games enough
….-
Hold down on the touch screen and a vita menu will pop up, the setting is there
-
How to use touch panel to back to XMB ? I do not have this option… My lang is Polish. Where it should be?
-
Long press the touch screen…choose asighn touch screen option, choose your corners…

If I don’t have UNO on my PS Vita and am at 2.02 PS Vita OS, what can TN-V do for me that I can’t do now with the PS Vita?
-
Nothing, you need an exploit. You can copy UNO to your Vita though if you happen to have a PS3.
-
i have uno on ps3 but i updated to 2.06 . Can i still use the exploit ?.
-
no.
-
uno for 2.02
-
-
-
-
This is great I’ve been waiting. DL now THANK YOU TN &DARK ALEX. Forgive my Noobish question but the TN-V (ECFW ) will allow access to the store but it will not let you play online vita games such as battle royal. But u can get the dlc for the characters right? You can tell me I’m wrong, that we can play online ! Uno hack 2.02
-
You cant do any Vita things regarding games. You can only use PSP PSN, play PSP games online ect.
-
so can we use the same psn vita’s account to play psp games online?
-
Yes you can
-
-
-
-
hey I got it to work thanks for everything you did Total_Noob and Wololo for releasing it also the emulators or my n64 emulator isn’t working right not outside of that it awesome thanks again I did on uno if people still having problem
-
I am on 2.05, and will there be an exploit there? Please?
-
My ftp homebrew is now not working with this and psx, did they even test this before it got public. When i switch to tn-c all is working again.
-
Yes, make sure your homebrew is FBOOT.PBP and not VBOOT.PBP. PSX works as well.
-
-
Question: im on a 1.66 firmware. what can i do to download the TN-v?? please help
-
A lot of people claimed that ARK CFW had a faster UMD driver. Anybody know how TN-V compares?
Seems TN-V does not have the fancy caching driver from 6.60 PRO..
-
Thank you very much Total_Noob and the other developers that helped make this happen and wololo as well for running such a great site. I’m really glad I didn’t update from 2.02. This is by far the best CEF for the Vita. It’s so sexy I’m touching myself 0_o Total_Noob, I think I will have to donate to your charitable cause. Keep up the great work. It’s very much appreciated.
-
Could someone explain how do i get the uno one to work, when i run the game is says corrupted data
-
u have to be on 2.02 twice starting a game on uno make a save then copy the save file.check ur cma on version five
-
-
Anybody got this working with Monster Hunter exploit? I know it says it works with it, but when I try to Hold the R button to install TN-V it just takes me to the TN Menu as always…any help?
-

-
Make sure to ALSO put the EBOOT.PBP in the SAVEDARA exploit folder…
-
-
How do I get this to work with gravity crash exploit 1.81, i have TN Menu 0.2, Do I need to get a new exploit save data?
-
this ones for uno u have to get the one for 1.81 go to the home page there a post on gravity rush an outher older expoil.ts
-
yeah, but why won’t it go to the recovery menu for me? I have the 660.PBP in the folder of the save data and I still can’t get the recovery menu to appear when loading up the firmware and then the TN Menu just appears as normal.
-
-
-
works great for me
-

like a vhs recorder … record from any hdmi device onto mini vhs or vhs or memory card
wish u luck on the exploits
-
ive had every exploit so far but for some reason i cant install the hombrew when i get to the xmb ive gone to save data and its there but doesnt say install just gives me the option to copy im no noob i no ftp is easier but need to install ftp befor i can use it. all i need to no is how to install in TN-V from the savedata
-
sorry i mean the savedata shows up not the homebrew zip ive tried psp/game then zip ive even tried homebrew just in zip there must be a different way in tn v because im not doin any different than tn c and ark
-
-

-
Start+Select. Please read the readme file that comes with it.
-
-
Can someone please help! I downloaded the uno exploit and nothing is happening. I held down the R button and nothing is still not happening :’(
-
Every time I try to go into the store it just says it’s undergoing maintenance. Is Sony actually doing maintenance, or am I just SOL?
-
I got that error at first but then I went into Network settings, scanned for and setup my wireless and then it worked. I could see all of the games as a normal Psp would.
-
-
im happy to hear that alot of progress is being made!
-
Can anyone confirm if Valkyria Chronicles 2 is working on TN-V?
It’d be much appreciated.
-
Works fine!
-
-
Hm, Snes9x Euphoria and that other one seem to crash on me now. Any advice?
-
Like one of the other posts I read, I was able to get the camera working (initially crashed after taking a picture, which created the appropriate DCIM folder, etc.). I even recorded a video which I used to test the video playback via XMB (which worked, although froze at the end of playback). Anyways, the main thing I wanted to post is the folder structure for the multimedia stuff… ms0:/VIDEO for videos, ms0:/MUSIC for mp3s, etc. and ms0:/PSP/PHOTO for .jpg, etc.
-
They should also take gamecube emulators would be great (:
-
Not enough RAM for that. Maybe with a native exploit.
-
hopefully next can.
would be something great.
Thanks for everything.
-
-
-
im loving my TN-V
-
thank you very very much lov it
-
My PS Vita is running OS 2.02, and I have the “Gravity Rush” PS Vita game. Is there an exploit for this game so I can use TN-V to load up some PSP stuff or are is the PSP’s UNO game the only one that can be exploited for PS Vita OS 2.02?
-
UNO is the only one for 2.02. All exploits are PSP games btw
-
-
Guys!
For correct install OpenCMD press (Shift + Ctrl) Now select the 2 files (run.cmd + setfll.exe) Now run as (Diferent User), Put your Admin name and password, and run…
-
What does “High backups compatibility” mean? The TN-V can play SELF-DUMPED, LEGAL, NON-DOWNLOADED LEGITIMATE PSP game backups? SELF-DUMPED, LEGAL, NON-DOWNLOADED, LEGITIMATE Vita game backups? Sorry, I’ve been away from the scene for a while, just tying to get some information on where it’s at now out of curiosity.
-
No, Vita games only PSP content.
-
Ignore that comma^
-
thanks, I wasn’t sure how to read that at first lol
-
-
-
-
It has higher homebrew and backup compatibility, but ive noticed it’s kinda lacking in prx plugin support. i cant run xmbcontrol or ultimate vsh menu
those are like my MUST haves… PRO CFW has a function called “old plugin support” which let me run the final build of ultimate vsh menu on 6.60 pro-c2 (its normally only for up to 5.50). it didn’t work on tn-v, no i got frostegator’s port which works with 6.20-6.60 and it still doesn’t work it lets me enable it but it still doesn’t show! i cant turn the xmbcontrol plugin on because tn-v wont start up at all when its enabled… could someone pass this alone to TN for me? or could i reach him myself? thanks! -
*so i got frostegator’s port
*pass this along to TN
-
I added it to the bugs list, Ill pass it along
-
-
Upon finding the 660.PBP file in recovery mode, and pressing Start to install it, i’m getting a c1-2859-3 error… PLEASE HELP.
-
Upon finding the 660.PBP file in recovery mode, and pressing Start to install it, i’m getting a c1-2859-3 error… PLEASE HELP ME!!
-
when i try to install 6.60 i get this error “loading 660.ppb… error 0×8001002″ what does that mean
-
How to copy game with TN-V?
I copy to Uno savedata folder and transfer but cannot see it in the menu of game/memorystick.
No metion FTP, please. -
Ok…so awesome….and got CXMB and a CTF i actually found and like and it works right, only thing is CWCHEAT does not work well on this? or you have to activate it only for PSP games, because any other homebrew won’t run if cwcheat is not deactivated, and I guess this is true since I tried it.
-
Ok so I tried other emus and this is not worth it, it messes up with other emulators, I think I will just go back to the way it was before, CPS2 won’t let me open up the menu and that’s messed up
-
Anyone playing with emulators and stuff, this will mess you up, just a heads up if anyone is updating to this CFW it’s good but errors on such emulators.
-
Sir wololo, I can’t get to work TN-V so I decided to revert back to TN-C with ymenu, this time I cannot run ISOs, only CSO seems to work, before, both are running…:(
-
Can I use this for exploit Apache overkill 2.06 VHBL? Don´t try april jokes…
-
Can we play Iso/Cso games which were playable on PSP CFW? I’m new to PS VITA, Please Help!
-
so what about support for other firmwares than 660 ? thkx
