upcoming VHBL hack on Vita 2.12: updated homebrew compatibility list
A few days ago I showed some of my initial test results of Qwikrazor87’s upcoming VHBL hack for Vita 2.12. I was then put in touch with one of his other beta testers who shared his test results with me. Let me show you the updated compatibility list.
Most of these homebrews were taken from the VHBL Homebrew thread here. In the list below, I am sharing the aggregated results of both this tester and myself (based on my previous test results)

Note that a “non working” homebrew is not always a fatality. This shows you the results from a few testers in a few sepcific conditions, with the initial release of the hack. There are possibilities that some working versions of the same homebrew exist (such is the case above with Snes9xTYL, which itself works, while some mods of the emulator don’t work), or tricks to make these homebrews work, or that an update of the VHBL port will bring more compatibility.
The lack of compatibility of PSPFiler, however, is a bummer. wMenu does not have any File manager features, and that could become a problem if no alternative exists, if only to delete/reorganize homebrews.
As a reminder, Qwikrazor’s upcoming exploit will be in a game that is only available in the US store. I explain here how you can buy US PSN Credit if you live outside of the US, and we have an ongoing tiny “contest” on twitter to win a $20 PSN Code. In parallel, I got contacted about a possible EU exploit that could be available, and I am following up on that as fast as my free time permits.
Stay tuned!
(Thanks to Qwikrazor87’s testers – who shall remain unnamed for now – for the updated list.)
Man Wololo, there’s gonna be a lot of noobie questions,
be ready. 🙂
I got 2 Vita, one original version and a brand new one.. if you need a tester contact me..
J’ai deux vita, une une d’origine et une toute neuve si vous avez besoin d’un tester contacter moi..
^_^’
HEY WOLOLO , I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT CAN YOU GET IF YOU HAVE YOUR PS VITA IP , IS IT A DEAD END , OR CAN WE GET SOMETHING WITH IT???
Uh? You mean your IP address? What would you do with it? A “dead end” for what?
Anyone know if Nazi Zombies: Portable works for this?
It doesn’t. Read the list again
Actually, qwikrazor87 tells me NZP’s solo mode works
OLD psp iso loader could work isnt? or it still need kernel mode ? ( first iso loaders released 5+ years ago)
thanks for answer
dont know when you guys gonna release it but pls dont put any survey web to download or passwords cause it take time just to download a file lol,reading everbody com seems it gonna release soon,im guess ever one just waiting for the new update release then the new explode arv or so,keep up the good work and have some break…
one more thing,any one know how to jb 2.12 cause i got the file put dont know how to put the file in psv or it dont have any jb..
and psn UK?
I want to be a tester, how can I do that
Not trying to sound ungrateful or anything, but why haven’t you guys released it yet? Can you at least release the VHBL for 2.12 so we can try to find the exploit? or is it already out?
Vhbl is open source, there is no point in releasing it without the exploit, nothing was added to vhbl itself and you can grab it from the svn or the previous release.
Wololo How will we know who won the psn card? (anounce on twitter , Forums , blog etc..?) also when is the entry deadline for the card? and is this kernel or usermode?
It’s usermode.
I will announce it at least on twitter, probably tomorrow. Deadline for entering is basically until the announcement.
Does this one require that we buy a game?
Of course it does, at the moment there’s no other known way of running VHBL. Well, there might be one, but it doesn’t seem to be released anytime soon.
lol filer would make manga reading stupid convenient, so thats a bloody shame. but the bookr is really cool.
hi can you please tell how much the game would cost?
i currently have 5 dollars in my account.will they be enough?
How much time do we have after ninja release?
if sony cut off the game between the download we will lose it any way?
The time usually goes from one day to about a week until sony pulls the plug on the game, stay tuned for more updates if you are that cautious.
What about a Australian release ? Is it the same as a us or eu game?
think not to update my ps3 for now….might just get a new super slim if anything i guess..but tree months to the ps4 i might as well save i guess..probly get tv n sum new gear if anything a Wii U..
Question, any idea of when the game will be announced? It would be great to know! 🙂
it will come when it does. ninja release is just that, if a time is announced, you can bet sony would be watching that day very closely.
have patience young grasshopper.
Great job guys
we will stay tuned! for name of the game I hope that in the near future
when will you announce VHBL when I had another uptade the ps vita?
why I do not have ps3
ps vita only have $ 22 on psn waiting to be buying the game but is after uptade I can not vo uses VHBL why to purchase the game has to update the ps vita you could help the day before? me the name of the game?

im really nooby at this sort of thing where is the download for the ps vita hbl?
This is the reason I bought the vita 😀 I cant wait for the release!!! ^_^ Anyway that I could play my n64 roms?
You can add Wolfenstein to the list of non working. The menu where you pick between Wolfenstein and Spear Of Destiny loads up fine, and you can move around, but you can’t select a game. All my data files for the games are where they should be. Looks like the keys aren’t getting mapped properly
After i copy the GAMOCRACY ONE: LEGEND OF ROBOT in my ps vita it does not appear on the home screen so i dont know how to run the game i can find it in the setting but i can’t run it so if you can let me know what to do thanks.
