Exploitable Game for PS Vita 2.12 announced (VHBL)
You’ve been waiting a lot for this, we had to delay the ninja release for several reasons (one being that I shamelessly took 4 days of holiday last week, and therefore couldn’t have handled a public announcement at that time), but there it is, the public announce of the game used to run Qwikrazor87’s VHBL port for the Vita 2.12.
So, before we start, a few reminders:
VHBL is provided “as is” without any guarantee. In order to run VHBL, you will need to buy the specific game mentioned below and install it on your Vita. Keep in mind that the money you pay for the game goes to Sony and the developers of the game, and the only guarantee you get by doing so is to get that game for your PS Vita. That being said, I personally tested VHBL extensively on this exploit and I can vouch for it.
VHBL runs a subset of PSP homebrews. you can find early test results here, and here. In particular, VHBL does not run PSP isos, PSP plugins, PSP homebrews that require PSP kernel mode. VHBL does not run native Vita homebrews or Vita roms.
The exploit works on Vita firmware 2.12 and below. There is no guarantee that this exploit will run on firmwares beyond 2.12. Actually, based on our experience, it is pretty much guaranteed that the next Sony firmware will patch the exploit.
Because of what is stated above, it is recommended that you deactivate your Vita Wifi connection as long as you want to use VHBL. The reason is that your Vita might force you to update to a newer firmware when it connects to the net.
The exploited game is officially only available on the US PSN. However, people have contacted us to tell us PS3 owners can buy the game from your PC/PS3 in other countries such as European countries, then copy it to the Vita from your PS3 using the Content manager. I have not tested this personally and would still recommend to go with the US version of the game if you can. I explain here how to switch your Vita to a US account, and here how you can get the necessary US credit to purchase the game.
Once you buy the game, be sure to install it as soon as possible on your vita. Do not let it sit in the download list, or on your PS3. Sony have ways to prevent you from downloading/installing the game, and they will do it.
In general, to prevent the hack from spreading, Sony remove the exploited game from their stores within 48h following our announcements. If you want this hack, get it now. Not tomorrow, not in one hour, not after you’ve gone to the restroom.
We will release the actual files for the hack in the next few days. Typically we do so just after Sony pulls the game from their store, but this is not a rule written in stone.
If all the limitations and explanations above did not frighten you, here is the game:
Vulnerability disclosure: A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the following PSP Game:
Gamocracy One: Legend of Robot ($3.99 on the US PSN)
This critical vulnerability puts the Sony PSP and Sony PS Vita at risk of running malicious software such as Super Mario Bros, Sonic, or Quake.
Congratulations to Qwikrazor87, and stay tuned for the files!
“Dath Vada” where are you now…plsss are you done bro…plss i need the account you said…before its to late i dont have ps3 to transfer the Xploited game :(….

“Dath Vada”where are you…..can anyone plss lend me a 5bucks on my account using your paypal..plsss..i know some of you are rich..its just cheap for you…i cant buy it cause of country issue…!? plss im begging you…i want the exploited game…
sir its very easy even though ur in the Phil. .. just buy a psn card in a local gaming store and use that to add funds like 20$.. that’s wat i did and now i have the game
i know its easy..but i only borrow my friends visa..and i dont have enough money to buy $20 psn codes.. 🙁
i would not recommend giving out any of your PSN information… i see many people asking for passwords and such. don’t do it for obvious reasons. there are many who would take advantage of kindness.
i guess im going to missed another exploit again…. 🙁 …
=( darm i think i really gonna missed this chance again.
i have the game.. now we wait patiently….
guys can i borrow your account change your password as soon as i download the game plssssssss..if just my visa is compatible in us i dont have to post so many comment here plsss can someone help ke plsss
What about BreakQuest?
After a bit of faffing about I managed to get it onto my vita. I live in the UK and bought it from the ps store using my phones browser and tried to download it using the vita but it says it can’t be downloaded using the vita. I set up my ps3 and was able to download it with that and connected the vita to it and it didn’t show under vita software but it did show under psp/other. And now it’s on the vita yay.
I thought I would clarify these points here as I didn’t think I would be able to do it as there is lots of reports on the net about not being able to transfer minis from the ps3 to the vita if that mini isn’t able to be downloaded on the vita from the ps store. That is not true and it works like a dream.
I cant find it in the US store
nvm, found it!
anyone plsss help meee..!!!!tomorrow the game will patched i dont wanna missed it…ive tried everything…even in UK my visa is valid its from philippines….guys can i borrow your account change your password as soon as i download the game plssssssss..if just my visa is compatible in us i dont have to post so many comment here plsss can someone help ke plsss im begging you
You can use your visa card to purchase psn cards on stores like game shops.. why not use that to buy cards rather than buying online?.. if you bought a psn card just use it to redeem funds and then buy the game as simple as that

So how will this work if Open CMA no longer works with 2.12. Can anyone confirm that it doesn’t? I don’t actually know for a fact but thats what i’ve been told
I can confirm at least for me, open cma no longer works FW: 2.12. I try everything.
Open CMA with the internet patch works fine for me on 2.12. Just did it today
🙁 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
will this exploit support ARK? there are any chance?

JeAl, I have already told you how to do it with Amazon. I dont have a us credit card either and had no problem. Stop posting the same stuff over and over again if you are not willing to go with methods that work.
Thank you for saying what we were all thinking
Je al , people on here are telling you alternative from buying it on psn but you keep trying to do the psn way. Which make me think you’re a scammer. Go to a local game store and buy one, ask a couple of friends can the give a couple of bucks to you.
lol even though i cant afford psn prepaid i can still be trusted. even if you have lots of bucks in your account.the only thing i want is to download that game.i understand what you feel cause im just stranger.if only my friends visa is workng i dont have to post so many comment on this article.hope u understand..tomorrow psn might patch this game.i guess no luck for me
Stop begging for people’s accounts. You’d have to permanently use that account to keep the exploit and I seriously doubt anybody’s gonna let you do it. There are plenty of ways to get PSN cards from different regions. If you want it – pay for it. It’s 4 bucks not 100. If you don’t have the money go do an odd job in your neighborhood
ok tnx for everything hehehe..im so stupid….. ‘,..,’
I cant wait the actual files
it’s funny to see how some of the people above are begging others for their accounts and other things, the only thing i would like to know is if we might get a eCFW with this exploit i have plenty o psp games that never made their way to psn like KH BbS and secret agent clank (at least not into the AUT store).
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3.86 on my wallet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jajajajaja,well then,i guess i will keep buying orginal games.Goodbye to another one exploid.
guys i have a question, Can I deactivate my 2nd PS Vita and still play games on it if i never access the internet on it ever again?
I’ve downloaded the game on my Eu account PS Vita after purchasing the game from PC then downloading it on PS3 and the transferring it to the VIta but what should I do now? Is the hack in it already or I have to wait? Please help!
Just sent 5$ from my paypal to my psn accout! I was a day late but luckily i got the game! 🙂
When will link be released? Thanks! 🙂
I bought/downloaded it on EU psn! Will it work for me?
I’m telling you there is something f**king wrong on this website. My comments always disappear for some reason I don’t know! Mehh… I’ve downloaded the game from the Eu store to my PS vita after purchasing it from the PC then getting into the PS Vita from PS3 so what should I do now? Is the hack already in the game or do I have to wait for the hack files to be released?
The hack is not in the game….Make sure you have completely installed the game into your Vita…. backit up using CMA (just-in-case)… wait for a day or two for the exploit files to be released….
Does the open CMA works for 2.12? If not then would it do any harm if I back it up online through CMA? Although i’ve installed it on my PS vita.
Yes. You can..I did so too..
the game is still up as of this writing. is it taking longer than usual to pull the game? if they don’t pull it for example, until wednesday, will that delay the release of the files?
I’m hoping for future Kexploit will be available for 2.12 because I can already Emulate roms on my Tablet/3DS/PSP and PC. I’ll be super excited when CSO/ISO are running on 2.10 and above.
Anybody struggling to get the game I can do it for you. I live in the US, I have a US credit card and a US paypal account so I have no trouble buying from the US store. Send me $10 through paypal. I’ll make a new PSN account or use a US PSN account you’ve already set up, put 5 bucks on it and buy the game. You can then download the game to your vita. The other 5 is for handling and any foreign currency exchanges that may apply so I don’t end up coming out of pocket to cover fees
Paypal e-mail?
send 10$ to finehacks@gmail.com and i can make you the account if ya like 😛 and put the 10$ on it.
Email for more q’s
setting up a button so I don’t post my email publicly. Give me a minute
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=2CKQ4R9ZG5KCY
Must include in the comments of payment your email address and desired PSN account name if you need a US PSN account. If you made one already send the login details. I need this to make sure that the right person gets the account back
Although I don’t doubt you have good intentions, I’d advise our readers against sending money through paypal to a “random” commenter on the blog. Also sending your PSN credentials to somebody else can get you banned from PSN, so beware
Just trying to help these guys out. I’ve seen a lot of people struggling to get it done and it’s a piece of cake for me to get it done. If it feels too random feel free to contact me on the other sites I’ve been active on for years so you know it’s not just some random guy using the name
I know and this is why I didn’t plain remove your comment. I am just giving “official” word that my site is not associated with your activity here, in case anything goes wrong for the people you help.
I hear ya. Looks like nobody needs the help anyway. Either people have figured it out by now or given up. Please remove that link. I’ll help anybody that needs it between now and then but don’t want to leave it up if I’m not around and Sony pulls the game
Alright thanks! I’ll send you the $10 a bit later.
@wololo
Can i still have the purchased content from my current account while logged into the US one?
Alright, so I have the game. What else do I need to be prepared for this?
Run the game at least once to make sure it runs fine. So many people assume that keeping the game in their download list is enough, but the game needs to be installed before Sony pulls it from their store. Running it once is the best way to confirm you have the right one.
Oh I see, yeah I’ve actually been playing it haha. Do I need to do anything to Open CMA? This is my first time actually participating in this.
yes, you can try and see if you can connect your Vita to openCMA while your wifi on both the vita and the PC are turned off, just to see if OpenCMA works as expected.
I tried what you said, it says “You must connect the PC to the Internet to use Content Manager.”
Does the r4 fix work for this? I believe I’m on r5.
Terrible timing. So broke right now I don’t even have the $5 to throw on psn. Oh well XD
Think it will be better than 2.06? What are the differences between 2.06 and 2.12?
Hi Wololo, can I buy PSN CASH CARDS through you?
Yes (PM me on /talk if interested) but you might as well go with this technique, which will be cheaper for you: http://wololo.net/2013/06/27/how-to-purchase-us-psn-cards-from-amazon-when-you-dont-live-in-the-us/
Ok, I will try that.. either if Im a dumb-head or if this method will not work for me, I will write you back. Thanks man!
when the new exploit games vhbl release?
So, I couldn’t complete the transaction for some reason at pcgamesupply. How do I send you a private message if im interested???
Just wanted to let you know (It is a bit irrelevant) but that site, pcgamesupply, IS LEGIT. – Just in case you were doubting (= I know many who have doubted sites so just thought I’d add that in. I got a HK PS card from there for the first PlayStation All Stars beta
Yes, although when it comes to US PSN Cards, the amazon method I mention works better and is cheaper. pcgamesupply have an *** series of Security check, and even though I was able to buy from them in the past, now all my attempts with them end up in a rejection. So their dumb anti-fraud system is not even able to realize I am a customer who has paid them correctly in the past… crazy.
There’s that too haha! I totes agree with the Amazon thing, by FAR.
I just wanted everyone to know that that option isn’t a scam (=
But thanks for the adding on, Wololo!
yep, thats’ right the amazon worked perfect to me, ATM and legit..
Thanks!
why we should turn off vitas WiFi after download ex game?
Are we expecting release of the files today, should i start ramming F5 already? 🙂
