PS Vita hack: TomTomDu80 confirms his VHBL port will be released

VHBL Ninja releases are like the Fight Club. The first rules of the ninja releases is that you’re not supposed to talk about them. Then again, there’s always the difficulty of letting people know that they should be ready for an upcoming hack, without saying too much… TomTomDu80 confirmed to me that he will be releasing his VHBL (compatible with OFW 2.06) port sometimes soon.

The release date is of course not disclosed, as this is a key part of the success of such releases. But at this point, it is not a question of “if”, but a question of “when”.

As for all previous VHBL ports, running this exploit will require you to purchase a specific PSP game on the PSN (the exploit relies on a vulnerability in that one game). Given the history of these exploits, we know that Sony take the problem seriously enough to pull the exploited games from their stores, usually within hours of the public announcement. For this reason the announce is secretly made to members of our community before it is announced publicly.

As a reminder, VHBL is a homebrew loader for the psp and in particular will not let you run psp isos or vita isos. VHBL has an ok compatibility rate with the most popular PSP homebrews and emulators (snes, nes, gba, megadrive, …), although this highly depends on the exploited game. I haven’t tested this port myself yet. For those of you on 2.05 or 2.06, this will probably be your best bet for now to run a psp emulator hack on your Vita. For those who are running on 2.02 or lower, with CEF or ARK, the choice is more difficult, as you’ll have to choose between running a PSP Custom Firmware, and get to the latest Vita firmware but stick to a less compatible homebrew experience with VHBL. In general I would recommend to keep your eCFW over updating in order to get VHBL, but the choice is yours.

As usual, I recommend that you do not update until you actually know for sure that you want to.

Stay tuned.

    I am kind of a noob when it comes to vita hacking, I had the UNO exploit and a few of my psp game backups on the vita but then I updated to 2.5 and now 2.6 only to be able to play COD online :/ When you guys say there is an exploit for 2.6 but only supports Homebrew do you mean we will NEVER be able to use ISO/CSO files with it or is there just not an exploit for that particular purpose yet?

      Only a kernel exploit can support can support ecfw.

      Only ecfw can run ISO/CSO.

      This is not a kernel exploit.
      It can only support VHBL.
      VHBL can only run homebrew.

      They’ve written front page blogs explaining this all.

      It’s possible, they said, that 2.02 was the last kernel exploit.

          Maybe you should consider actually purchasing games as opposed to looking for ways to download and play them illegally.

          Support the developer (and for heavens sake, don’t give me the “I want to play my UMD backups” spiel).

            Question though, IF i can get a vita with 2.02FW, is it still possible to get the UNO game? Or is it already blocked?

          2. The_Ogrenator’s avatar

            well, what if, i really like monster hunter portable 3rd, but as i own a us based psn account, i cannot play my sweet mhp3rd, so as any other person, i would hope that this would one day be possible again, on the vita. what if the game i want to play is in a different language? i dont see sony translating those games, or publishing them over here. so people translate them, for NO INCOME AT ALL and for the good of the community. so others may enjoy them. this is what i hate so much about consoles, its mostly about profit, and not about people bettering each other as a whole, and working together to make something great. a tale of time long lost. while, this is not a post to flame you. im simply stating where you forgot. i also want to mention that the same is happening here, these people are giving up their own free time to do, something, something great if i might add, and are doing it smart, keeping it in a small controlled environment, until they can release it to the others at the most oppertunistic time so they may get the most enjoyment out of their system, without having sony ruin their fun.
