(Video) VHBL on Vita 2.12: early test results
Qwikrazor87’s port of VHBL for the vita 2.12 is coming soon, and I have been doing some early tests to check compatibility. The goal here is not to make people wait even longer for a release, but to let you guys know what to expect for this release in terms of homebrew compatibility. Some of our previous releases has been lacking a bit of testing, and I’d like to avoid that this time, so that people know what they are getting.
Please keep in mind that those are my tests, in some specific conditions, with some specific versions of the homebrews. When a homebrew I tested worked, that’s pretty much a guarantee it will work for you. When a homebrew I tested did not work, it only means that the version I tested did not work. Bottom line is, compatibility should be in general better than what my tests show, as people tend to find versions of their favorite homebrew that will work. Of course, kernel mode homebrews are (as usual) out of the question.
In general, the homebrews I’ve tested came directly from SMOKE’s gigantic VHBL homebrew thread here.
Overall, Qwikrazor87’s port of VHBL feels pretty solid to me, with good compatibility.
I’ve added a few videos below to get you excited about this release. Retro gamers should rejoice, as many emulators seem to work fine in my tests 🙂
Homebrews that worked in my tests
- Wagic (Heroic Fantasy Card game)
- Bookr (PDF Reader)
- Hexen 2 (FPS)
- Quake (FPS)
- Doom (FPS)
- Silveredge (horizontal Scroll shooter)
- Lamecraft (Minecraft clone)
- Nesterj (NES emulator)
- Picodrive (sega genesis emulator)
- gPSP (Game Boy Advance emulator) – Note: exiting this homebrew crashes VHBL, but this is a constant issue with all VHBL ports so far, not specific to this exploit
- Snes9xTYL (Super NES emulator)
Homebrews that did not work in my Tests
- Duke3D (possibly because I did not have the right resource files)
- OpenTyrian
- Daedalus X64 (haven’t tried the original Daedalus yet)
- ScummVM 0.13.0 (haven’t tried a newer or older version yet)
Remember, homebrews that did not work in my tests could have been an oversight.
Stay tuned for the release, and enjoy the videos below. In the meantime, any homebrew you’d like me to test?
Yay snes!!!
Is there anyway we can be notified when VHBL 2.12 is released ?
e.g. Email notification ?
Ninja release. Look in the forum for details.
Noooooo N64 :O
how do we get notified of the exploit game release before it gets taken down I really badly want to run Emulation and homebrews on my vita as I have been waiting since Vita’s Release to have this possible and have always been to late to get VHBL . help would be very very appreciated 🙂
Ninja release, there is a sticky in the vita forum.
would have compatibility iso psp?
No, homebrews only.
What abbout nazi zombies portable?? I must know lol
I tested it out on my PSP (no Vita), and solo mode works, I haven’t tested adhoc/infrastructure mode though.
Well, I’ve had a (uncalled for) warning for something… no ninja release for me Dx -Thx mods :'(
If you disagree with a warning you got, please do PM me, in some cases I can patch things up if I can confirm it was a mod in a bad mood. Keep in mind that warnings wear out after a while too, they’re not permanent.
he got a warning for triple posting after being explicitly told not to make more than one post at the same time, so it wasn’t uncalled for as he says.
Hey Mr Wololo could this run a mame emulator?
I tried it and the version I used didn’t work 🙁
Sounds like you had your hands full with testing for us Wololo Thanks! And Thanks Qwikrazor87 for bring VHBL to OFW 2.12 and your effort!
can you test emumaster (masterboy)3.0 thanks
I have tested EmuMaster V3.GX FF VIII Edition on my PSP and it works.
Wow No N64 Emu 🙁 well thats why i wanted to get this is there any way you can fix this kinda crash lol or can you test the original Daedalus Thanks… and by the way do new people get the Ninja release
hold on, he said he didn’t tested older Daedalus versions, some of them usually work well with most exploits
i really excited.
First World Problems:
Really want emulators on my Vita but have to keep updating to take advantage of PSN+ :/
dear wololo i can’t find the sticky for the ninja release in the fourms (i want to get the game before it gets pulled from the psn store) please reply back A.S.A.P thanks
here: http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=11307
Daedalus r13 should work.
thanks for answer its really appreciated. i will wait for the ninja release in forum. thanks for all the works to you two!
not to sound bitchy and all, but isnt it about timeto fully concentrate on a native vita hack?
what is even the pointof having a downgraded psp in your vita-hands
Oh, you’re right, why didn’t we think about that? Thanks for volunteering, do get back to me as soon as your native vita hack is ready!
Hi Thanks for all this.
Does JELLY CAR work?
Yes, JellyCar works.
And also BUGS?
What is the game it is hack now
The game is undisclosed. No public release yet. Check back here for updates…
Is this VHBL is available in the EU ps store ?
I believe its only available in the US 😛
No, it isn’t. Only US store but wait for Z’s exploit, that’s only EU
There will be eur exploit release too, with nearly exactly same compatibility.
how much cost the game ? 5 ~ 1 $ ?
well thats what i want to know too but they will probably not tell us i put 10.00 in my psn account hope thats can get it
Please can you tell me if the game is available in canada thanks again for answers
Can the homebrew be made to run in vita’s native resolution, or is there a hack that allows it? do the homebrew take advantage of the vita’s hardware capabilities?
Basically, no.
Dear wololo I browsed the forums and i didn’t find what i was looking for. I used open Cma but it didn’t work. So I take it that there is no way to activate a vita offline without updating. …
transfer a game with a PS3 and it should activate
(its written on the forums somewhere)
how about ps1? :3
Does nazi zombies portable work with it? I must know lol
am i missing something i clicked all the links trying to figure this out and someone email me to try and get this expliot if it really is released before i lose my chance please?
can you test pspdisp?
Borderlands 2 PS Vita FTW
2 things, 1 does psp revolution work on this? And 2, can you please let me know what the exploit game will be?
Is it Paper wars?
Gpsp & Lamecraft!!!
yayyyyyy 😀
What about Filer? Does it work?
Amigo wololo chico, when will we be expencting the ninja release of the new exploid?
Can we see if a Ps1 and N64 emulator will run on this ( 2.12 exploit ) ? i’m new to the subject and just got a ps vita.
also I just registered on the site in hopes of becoming part of the ninja release, but where might i find it when it is time or will we receive the information ( i’m sorry for being an annoying noob right now )
