[Release] VHBL for Apache Overkill Mod by JeoWay, increased compatibility
The latest VHBL release for Apache Overkill had several compatibility issues. Some of these issues have now been fixed, through a mod by JeoWay. Jeoway has taken the time to improve the latest VHBL to add better support.
According to his thread, the update improves homebrew compatibility and some of the homebrew that he has gotten to work are:
- Lamecraft (Terrain generation works)
- DOOM (Sound works right most of the time, playable)
- SNES9xTYL 042 (only this specific version)
- gpsp kai (The emulator itself works fine, saving is a bug in the emulator)
- yMenu
- pyMenu
- Nazi Zombies Portable
He has still not managed to get Daedalus working though (and a note for those who ask, DaedalusX64 will not work with VHBL, as it requires Kernel access. Older versions of Daedalus might however work eventually).
The files can be downloaded here
Please report failure/success. JeoWay apparently didn’t work directly from the sources, but hex-edited/decompiled the exiting files to add features, so we’re not adding this mod yet on the official download page, until we get further confirmation that this does not bring any regression. In any case, if you are having issues with the VHBL that got released by TomTomDu80 a few days ago, you might want to give this one a try.
As a reminder, VHBL is GPL, and every binary release should have the matching sources, but the situation is currently a bit of a mess because TomTomDu80 lost his source files in a hard drive crash. We’re doing what we can to get the source files back, as TomTomDu80 promised he would be working on them again asap.
Nice!!
Thanks hgoel I will check out jeoways thread and report bugs as soon as i
download the files.
Awesome work JeoWay!
Thanks!
Will it support other quake engines?
It might support others. I am working on an update for daedalus and Quake.
Try Left 4 Quake (Previous VHBL Versions)
This made my day 🙂
Now I can say “I made a strangers day” 😆
this made my day
Thanks JeoWay for your work 🙂
😀
It fixes some compatibility issues but some issues appears like PSP Filer doesn’t work
does PSPlorer work?
On my console, the original version of the vhbl run the psplorer. So i think in this version its works too.
Sorry for wrong information, it works and I think that PSPlorer will work too
PSPFiler works on wMenu
Are you sure? I remember I ran it just fine signed on PSP OFW (and that means no kernel access). it could be due to missing imports, though.
Yea it doesn’t require kernel. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
HBL doesn’t have access to the PSP’s kernel, which DaedalusX64 needs. VHBL may not be any different within the PSP emulator on the Vita. This is not refering to the Vita’s kernel if that’s what you guys are talking about.
Just to be clear, I do not know how different VHBL is to HBL. This is the first exploit I’ve had available to use on my Vita. I’m not a developer of either Daedalus, but I’m still taking a look.
We understand that, Daedulus doesn’t need PSP kernel access, it will work on VHBL.
Emulators don’t require kernal access…
dam i missed game 😐
Are there any other direct download links？ I have some problem with this one.
Can you give a direct download link？
A lot of the stuff I had on my vita did not work after the update like the gpsp for 2.06 and the psp filer but thanks I have a feeling it will have more and more compatibility with time. Thanks for the hard work everyone.
I have a problem with SNES9xTYL. I got the roms I wanted and moved them into the “roms” folder and then installed it on to my Vita. When I launch the emulator it doesn’t detect the roms. Any idea why?
Put the roms in using psplorer or pspfiler 🙂
Are they in .SMC Format?
Yes they are.
Is the exploit game still available in US?
Best part of waking up is some VHBL in your cup.Thanks wololo
Yay! I’m not updating! 😛
We can be 2.06 HBL Fwends! ***
can doing this brick my ps vita
No
Ps filer gives a black screen which you can not exit.I had to power off and power back on
After that it still would not work i had to hard reset it
i cant turn it off, how i can?
select+start
sorry for aks this but how to install :c
This may be of some help.

Hello, I would like to report that I have got a “Daedalus” build to launch “Super Mario 64”. It is quite slow, unplayable I would say, but it does run. The build version is R11 v100, try to make it faster!
THIS SUCKS IT FREEZE MY PSVITA, I CANT TURN IT OFF!!
Your not using wMenu then. Use wMenu, the other menus were for looks and proof the fix works. They have low compatibility. Using wMenu will fix your problem and compatibility support.
What do you mean DaedalusX64 requires kernel access?? I used to play it with Vhbl on the monster hunter exploit with r654 and it worked nicely.
It doesn’t require kernal access. I’m working on fixing Daedalus.
Hey did you guys see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ywm6q4CZYY its a video capture card for the Vita
Already saw that but I don’t think that I will buy it just because I have never captured anyting and from screenshots which i’ve seen it will void your warranty and that’s something what I can’t do (even my 11 yrs old PS2 wasn’t ever opened)
Yea me too as i never capture anything but playing the Vita on your hdtv isnt that bad
please help me I install the fix but my ps vita doesn’t run any game in the list lamecraft frozen and the nazi zombies too well the screen black don’t run the same whit psplorer and de snes emulator what can i do :c
we want PSP ISOS!
shoot yourself you pirate
hgoel – seriously? GET A GRIP.
@RAZGRIZ DEMON – If you want PSP ISos so bad find an exploit. Otherwise wait like the rest of us!
If you want free games so much there are few ways how you can get them:
1st – find an exploit which is at least kernel mode
2nd – find a way how to get games from PS Store for free
3rd – sell PS Vita, buy PSP and install CFW
4th – wait for somebody who wants to release his own kernel mode explit
get a psp
Be grateful for what you can get. Kernal Exploits are rare.
Will this mod delete or make my current gpsp not save anymore? (That’s what happened when I updated to r163)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1PQ9u-zZK8&feature=youtu.be Lamecraft and Doom arent working!!
Lamecraft is working pretty nice for me, sometimes it crashes at generating terrain and it cannot save your map but it works
Did you use pyMenu? because this version make lamecraft freeze
I’m using wMenu
You must use wMenu for full support. My next update on this won’t include any other menus but wMenu 🙂
I recommend using wMenu. I was using yMenu at first and it was real buggy. wMenu is what JeoWay uses and it has more support.
thanks guys 🙂
No problem.
hey guys im having a lot of trouble with this exploit. im using the 2.06 apache and everything went smoothly with getting vhbl menu to load and everything. but when im trying to install a homebrew game or emulator it just wont work. the way i did it the first time was i downloaded a homebrew like cavestory, extracted it using 7zip, rezipped it in store mode (tried normal too), named it INSTALL.zip, placed it in the pssavedata folder, that didnt work tried putting it inside a folder like NPUG80403BaraSave0 inside the pssavedata folder, still didnt show in vhbl menu. then i downloaded jeoways new files, all the menus worked but i stuck with the wmenu like he recommended. tried everything i did before, menu still wouldnt recognize my install file. then i tried the snes emulator, i watched some german video tutorial on how to install that emulator, i got vhbl to recognize the emulator and showed on the menu, but it still culdnt find the install file. did i miss a step? or shuld i just start from scratch again?
You did. Here:
1.) Download Homebrew
2.) Add it to archive and name it INSTALL.ZIP (ALL CAPS)
3.) Put it on store like you originally did.
4.) Now place it in a save game folder (Any exept VHBLfolder)
5.) Load up VHBL then click the three … at the top.
6.) Now go to SAVEDATA Folder and find the folder you put the homebrew in.
7.) Now click it and it should ask you to install it.
NOTE: The homebrew doesn’t just “show up” in the GAME folder automatically.
Great share, hgoel!
I’m having trouble adding the files. I have everything running, including snes but nothing will load. Where exactly do I put the 3 files? Pure ***
All you have to do is copy over the new VHBL files with CMA.
Make sure you are using SNES v0.4.2, otherwise it won’t work. Then you need to download your roms for it (.smc) then place them in the ROMS folder. Then install in VHBL and it should work fine from there…
Thank you kindly. All is working! =)
Also, you just need to…
A. Find your region (US or EU)
B. Select the menu you want (wMenu, pyMenu, pMenu)
C. Copy over the save data of the correct region and Menu you want.
NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE WMENU AS IT HAS THE BEST COMPATIBILITY WITH THE FILES. I JUST PUT THE EXTRA MENUS IN THERE FOR USERS TO USE FOR LESS HOMEBREW AND TO HAVE MORE PROOF THAT THE FILES GIVE BETTER COMPATIBILITY!!
just wondering is there a homebrew that can play .avi in good quality
Yeah, your Vita’s built in Video Player 😀
If it doesn’t, just change the extension from .avi to .mp4
not bad
– Dark_Alex
I doubt you are really Dark_Alex so why are you using his name?

niceee :)) but how do install the fix? there are 3 folder and i dont know what to do D:
hi guys I spend time try to play these homebrews but any game doesn’t run :c what can I do what I need :c
You need to package them properly and make sure they install right. Otherwise you may need to get a previously working version of the software that has been compatible with VHBL before.
“JeoWay apparently didn’t work directly from the sources, but hex-edited/decompiled the exiting files to add features”
Cowboy va 😀
Not sure what that means, but okay? lmao
Yeah that mean you rocks 🙂
I can enter Nazi Zombies Portable . But it is frozen when loading
And I can enter HALO but cannot play it
Can I have some hope on daedalusx64 work?
ty for ur work Jeo,
Actually, that is what I am currently working on 🙂
