Release: VHBL for PS Vita 2.06
Sony removed the Apache Overkill game from their PSN stores in the past 24 hours. If you are one of the lucky people who could buy and install the game in time, you should now be able to enjoy some good homebrews on your Vita.
I want to emphasize once again that I haven’t personally tested this VHBL port. I want to stress this out, as I am usually closely involved with either testing or developing each port, but this time I decided not to. Some of our beta testers said the compatibility was poor, while other people such as the Z showed us that some emulators such as gPSP, which we thought didn’t work correctly, actually worked well. Bottom line is, VHBL is never perfect, and you’ll have some hit and miss with compatibility, but hopefully comments in this section, as well as threads on our forums should help you find compatible homebrews fairly easily.
In parallel, TomTomDu80 told me personally that he plans to continue working on this port and improve compatibility with time. This might take a little while though, as apparently he lost his existing sources in a hard drive crash, but we’ll see how that goes. For now, just download VHBL, and report working/non working homebrews 🙂 . A few working ones can be found here, and you can also find a much more complete list with pre-packaged homebrews here, although compatibility with this version of VHBL still needs to be confirmed.
Donations
TomTomDu80 has spent a huge amount of time on this work. If you enjoy VHBL, please consider donating to him for his work.
Download and Install
VHBL for Vita 2.06 on the Apache Overkill exploit can be downloaded from the VHBL page, as usual. The page also contains explanations on how to run the exploit and install homebrews. Feel free to ask for help on our forums if you need additional help.
Hey wololo have a break now and go to sleep, its night in Japan right?

Works like a charm 🙂
thanks.
Z, Can you give me the step by step guide. in realtime. cant understand some parts of the instruction.
thanks
1. Go to goole and download yourself “gba_bios.bin” (just google “gba bios”, you’ll find
something.)
2. Unzip “GBA FOR PSVITA.zip” This will create a folder “UCJS101040001”
3. add “gba_bios” to the gpSP folder (inside of UCJS101040001)
4. Add ROMs (download yourself) to “gpSP/GBA/ROM”
5. Add any old saves you had to “gpSP/GBA/SAV”
6. Make sure you have a unzipper? tool. (i.e: Winrar, 7zip)
6. right click the gpSP folder add click “Add to archive..”
7. Name it “INSTALL.ZIP”
8. Under archive format select “ZIP”
9. Under compression method select “Store/Storage”
10. Select ok.
11. Remove the README file and the old gpSP folder.
12. On your computer, navigate to your PSSAVEDATA folder (where CMA stores your
savegames – default is /Documents/PsVita/PSSAVEDATA)
13. If there is a folder here skip to 16 if not keep reading.
14. Open CMA on your psvita, and copy savedata to your pc.
15. A folder will be created on your computer in “/Documents/PsVita/PSSAVEDATA”
16. Open this folder and copy “UCJS101040001” into it.
17. Run CMA on your PsVita and copy this savedata to your vita. (The picture should say
Game Boy Advance)
18. Run HBL.
19. Click the “…”
20. Open SAVEDATA
21. Select “UCJS101040001”
22. Push x/o to install.
23. Run gpSP.
24. ???
25. Profit
But seriously, I hope this helped. c:
Sorry for the atrocious formatting, im not good at this :s
I DIT ALL U SAY BUT WENT I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME IT SAY IT NEEDS BIOS BUT I PUT IT BUT IT STILL SAY THE SAME CAN U HELP ME PLEASE
search gba bios on google and download it and put it in the install.zip allso
Make 100% sure that your bios file is also NOT compressed in the archive. wMenu is set up to ignore files that are compressed in the archives.
do i have to put it in the rom place or in the root of the intall zip or in the at the star of the folder where the data is
what file type im going to put on rom? when i download a game the file inside is the same with this
– ICON0.PNG
– PIC1.PNG
– DATA.BIN
– PARAMS.SFO
– INSTALL.ZIP
Yeah… getting the same result here too. It claims there’s no bin file when there is. I’ll have to give up on this for now. It’s late.
Thinking about that how long it will take for sony to release another FW
Thanks for the release, even though I am staying on 2.02 with UNO 🙂
Same here, TN-V its the best one as of now, btw go to psvdlc.com to download psp games directly from ps vita (through psp browser of course) works like a charm
Thanks 🙂
Hope my forum post lead you here, (pspfanMOHH)

Thank you！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！:)
VHBL Homebrews FILER TO INSTALL.ZIP
V-FBOOT.pbp CHANGE “WMEUN.BIN” VHBL WORKING 😀 THANKS
can you explain more…
Honestly the vita looks like its never gonna get fully hacked
Its only been out a year…
The PS3 took about 6 – 7 years to get fully hacked.
I honesty think that it shouldn’t get hacked or at least not now. Why? iso loaders are the main reason. There’s a lot of people who are only interested in that. I’m guessing that’s why 3rd party companies aren’t making games for the vita? (I think there’s more wii u games, prove me if i’m wrong.) It should get hacked, but not yet. Maybe couple of more years… probably 5 or maybe more.
It shouldn’t be fully hacked, at least atm.
I dind’t bought it to play old emulator games, I know that is a plus, or a bonus, but not the main feature.
Fully hacking vita will in a way or another let someone make iso loaders and compromise the weak sales structure.
Scare developers out of the vita’s market will turn it into an expensive paperweight.
bro we only want the ISOs
who cares about your cr.ap. just give the isos pls sales can be whatever. but isos come first. give isos now pls.
GIVE US THE ISOS

GIVE US THE ISOS
Find a kernel exploit and you’ll have your ISO support. Good luck 🙂
And make sure you announce it if you find one!
Wololo, can you get me the link on how to find kernel exploit? I can’t seem to find it… I’m a little interested in this. (Alot actually.)
Working, thank you.
Just Came To Say Thanks Before I Get The Files
Nice work everyone, thanks for your patience 🙂

Thank you for the amazing release ! I’m going to play some gba games now 😛
hello..i can only see one SAVEDATA that contains the vhbl files ..so where do i install my homebrews??plz help..plz….
Much support to all you guys’ developing for the Vita’s PSP emulator! I’m so happy with all of what you do. I will donate to TomTOmDU80, EOlolo, and anyone that can Port this to VHBL!

Terraria please!
thank you very much guys! I donated $3 to TomTomDu80. Not much but still. But hey! I will pay more when you will improve compatibility. 😉 You are great guys! I really apreciate what you’re doing!
Is there any chance to see TN-V psp emu on Apache Overkill.
i have on the uno but i upgrade to 2.06 to get this one.
Yes there are chances to see TN-V, they is alot of kxploit walking in the graveyard(private), TN has an exploit but he has no plans of release, so if they release it there will be a TN-V.
No chance in heck.
Stay on UNO if you want to keep those features. Probably won’t be another kernel exploit release until there is a meaningful update from Sony that adds a ton of new features. Who knows when that will come.
Can read ISO/CSO games and Plugins ?
unfortunately NOT, thats because i not bought the mini, for playing snes and gba emulators the PC is enough
Sem suporte a ISO…?
Não obrigado…
Thank you so very much to all of the developers! I really appreciate the brilliant work put into creating this exploit. It’s fantastic!!! ^_^
does any one know how to put roms on picodrive for the apache exploit
Please, the next exploint only a Ninia release.
All exploints are useless.
Donated 😉
Is it just me or the UNO exploit was better because it was a psp game? So a psp game is better than a mini? (I don’t say, more like making a statement.)
It’s not because it is a PSP game, it’s because Uno was kernel mode exploit which has full access to PSP emulator inside Vita and this is user mode exploit so it runs everything sandboxed under game -> it has only that features which exploited game has
But don’t psp games have a higher chance of reading more psp games than mini’s do? or is it the same? (I knew about mad alpha blocker, was able to run isos, etc. It was a mini & it didn’t read most games. Did UNO have the same problem?)
Oh man!
Thanks so much to everybody! i was so eager that i DONATED instantly! I love you guys for what you all do 4 us! 😀
Thank you TomTomdu80
Thanks!! but I have not been able to install anything!!
