Apache Overkill PSP Mini removed from the EU PSN, US is next?
As we announced the upcoming release of a VHBL port by TomTomDu80 for Vita 2.06, Sony followed what is now a tradition, and pulled the game from their EU store as soon as they got the information. Many people contacted us about this now, and although I haven’t verified myself, this got confirmed by enough sources that I trust this is true.
As I type this, the game is still available on the US PSN, and that might be your last chance to grab the game before it’s gone, as we expect the US store to remove it as well as soon as office hours start over there. The game was not available in the JP or HK stores.
As a reminder, the upcoming release is “only” VHBL, which will not allow you to run psp isos, but “only” a subset of PSP homebrews. At this point, I do not know if a psp kernel exploit will be released that takes advantage of the Apache OVerkill exploit, but who knows. Historically, when a psp kernel exploit is released, the exploit gets backported to older user mode exploits, and maybe that will happen too, or maybe no new psp kernel exploit will ever be released after the 2.02 CEF/ARK series.
Apache Overkill (PSP Mini), the game used for the Vita 2.06 VHBL hack
Some of our testing showed that compatibility was “not so great” in this VHBL version, but compatibility depends also a lot on what version of the homebrew/emulators we test, and, although our testers found that gPSP was not working great, The Z shows in the video below that gPSP work perfectly fine:
Assuming the US version of the game gets removed today as well, we will be doing our best to release the files when this happens, but please keep in mind that we have a real life to deal with too 🙂
Ummm…. they took Apache Overkill off like 9 hours ago and no exploit files
Yeah seriously where are the files?
The game is removed on the USA store. it´s time to download the files!!!
The game is no longer on the USA/UK/AUS/EU Stores. Time to release the files I think.
i confirm apacheoverkill is no longer available in canada
Already removed from US PSN store
okay where the save game ? how are all there people show these demo of it but no links ?
No longer available in US PSN!
EVERYONE GO TO WOLOLO’s TWITTER AND YOU WILL SEE HE IS NOT AT HOME ON THE COMPUTER SO HE CANT RELEASE THE FILES YET.
…but what if he has the files on a USB stick, and it’s with him?
Well, looks like I was half right. He DOES have the files, but he’s not going to post them from work. He feels bad enough Tweeting from there.
But seriously, why can’t someone else (particularly Tomtom himself) post the files instead?
Guys go here —-> twitter.com/frwololo That is why there is no download yet :/
I know i bought Apache Overkill when it was on the PSN store, i got it when i still had my psp GO, now the mini is noth showing up in my download list and i find that just creepily bothersome.
Uno is back on the PSN store i hope there can be another exploit with it lol
Personally. If i were them. Id say sorry no not going to release it due to everyone bugging the heck outta it. Be patient everyone Rome wasnt built in a day
We CAN be patient, but it’s pretty much a race at this point. Who will make the next move – Wololo or Sony? Some of us have stuff we plan to purchase and download to our Vitas (for instance, Disgaea 3 for Plus members such as I), which will of course require the latest FW.
Personally, I don’t plan on keeping for more than a few hours at most. I just want to get it, do what I need to do (replace a Vita-loaded PSP game’s EBOOT with Phantasy Star Portable 2’s EBOOT – and yes, I purchased it myself, over PSN), then remove the files, update, and continue on….until someone comes out with tools that allow me to rip the anime cutscenes from Persona 4 GOLDEN.
Pulled from US PSN, checked at 12:22AM Mar 26, Central Time

Is this real android on vita …
No its not. Vita is not fully hacked so you cannot install any other operating system 🙂
i really wish they could find one that we didnt have to pay for i keep maxing my credit card evertime there is an exploit
You keep maxing out your credit card over a $3.00 game? Seriously? Must be a new type of credit limit I am not aware of $3.00 credit limit. That’s like the funniest thing I have ever read..lol..
I really hope there’ll be a kernel exploit with this game sooner or later.
Tho it may not be needed, removed from Italy as well.
I kind of hope that as long as people keep asking for the exploit files, the longer they’ll take to release the files. Impatience deserve it and hopefully it would teach people to stop being that way. As for me, I’ll wait for a kernel exploit. 🙂
I can conferm that it was removed on the US store :'( sad too cause I just got paid lol and I was really waiting for this
Okay so. Im a playstation plus member. I just want to make sure to be honest if i upgrade or not. This exploit is a user mode one right? That means that cannot access enough to run the ps1, psp and psvita roms correct?
The game is removed. No chance to decide anymore
Where is the file ！！！！
well… i’m just waiting for someone to come up with CFW. VHBL is nice and all but I doesn’t really serve my purpose.
got credit card blocked dam!!sucks.
Its obvious that mr Wololo wants to maximize the number of clicks before releasing the files. He will have to release them today though, to keep credibility at a high level.
Thank you for your good work anyway!
Man…it sucks that the game is not available in psn asia store singapore…sucks really…but the vbhl is awesome news..xD
I hate my place store..!!!

1) You need to buy a GBA.
2) Hook up GBA to PC using cable.
3) Use the tools (just google) to extract the Bios files
4) Use with Gpsp!
5) Play backup games that you own.
Pretty easy, but the cable is hard to find nowadays.

I purchased the Apache Overkill on my PS3, and today i tried to copy it to my vita and it wont let me… is there a way around this??
I don’t know if it’s just me or if everyone else experiencing issues with your
site. It appears like some of the text on your posts are
running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to
them as well? This might be a issue with my web
browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Appreciate it
