Release: VHBL for Vita 2.12
Here it is, the long awaited VHBL release for Qwikrazo87’s VHBL port to the Vita Firmware 2.12!
So, before we give you the files, a bit of disclaimer: This VHBL port runs through an exploit in the game Gamocracy one: legend of Robot. We announced that game secretly to our community members over the past few weeks, and publicly a few days ago. Since then, Sony have pulled the game from their stores, and if history repeats itself, the next Vita firmware update will have a patch for the game. Bottom line is, if you read this article and don’t already have the exploited game installed on your Vita, you missed the opportunity.
Most of the development and testing has been done on the US version of the game, which goes with code number NPUZ00259. As is often the case, the EU version of the game (NPEZ00374) is also exploitable, but we discovered late in the game that it was available to some people using a trick involving a PS3, so it was less extensively tested.
Known issues
Not all homebrews will work with VHBL, head over to the gigantic VHBL Homebrew thread for details on what games work or not.
There is a bug with the default menu (wMenu) which might tell you with a red screen, something along the lines of:”Error! Couldn’t find any homebrews in ms0:/PSP/VHBL/ Please check your config file and/or restart VHBL”
If you see this error, don’t freak out, just press LEFT TRIGGER
This is a known issue, and happens only as long as you don’t have any homebrew installed. To get rid of this error message, press the LEFT TRIGGER on your console, this will force wMenu to go to the SAVEDATA subfolder.
The issue is a simple one but I was too lazy to fix that. People with the right coding skills might want to have a look at the source of wMenu here and send me a patch.
alternatively, you can give a try to an other menu such as 138Menu here
Thanks for your support
Qwikrazor87 worked on this exploit on his free time and did not ask for anything in return.

Download and installation
Downloads can be found on the vhbl page, as usual
Enjoy, and please report bugs/success/trouble here. Post videos on youtube, I love those 🙂
why is it not working it just gives me an error message …. when i try to install the homebrew… (US) (2.12) .
Can you explain to me step to install a homebrew please.
someone should make a detailed video that thez94 video was too fast
When I but a homebrew and I run VHBL I Still error "Error! Couldn’t find any homebrews in ms0:/PSP/VHBL/ Please check your config file and/or restart VHBL" and I have but homebrew.
Game U.S. 2.12
I do not but homebrew
Try reading the article when you download VHBL. It says clearly to hit L1 to bring up the save files. From there you click on them to install, then the next time you load the exploit just pick the app you want to run
@wenuz: breathe deeply, focus, and read the article again.
Or press left trigger.

that was it wololo thank you ….
but now after i installed gpSP i get this error
“Error in load/start homehook module.” 🙁
i did a google search to look for others with the same problem 😉
use gpsp kai instead of gpsp. Not all versions of gpsp are compatible with VHBL. Check our forums

don’t try to load anything, go to the “high scores” section of the game
thanks after a while of being dumb i figured i would have to use highscores
Holy *** Prometheus Iso loader is working but how do I get iso on my vita any ideas??
For that to work you’ll need a kernel exploit…
which this is not…
My literally going crazy here im installing emulators and no roms work im going to give up and sell my vita @wololo please help
There’s a number of reasons for roms not to work. You could be using a bad set. You could be using a no-intro set without headers. You could be missing your system BIOS file which has to be added in manually since it’s illegal to distribute it with emulators
You give no info about what emulator or what roms you’re using. I take it you’re expecting people to guess what the problem is? Give me a minute to check my crystal ball and I’ll get back with you
how about the save files on Gpsp. Everytime I restart the gpsp homebrew it erases the save files any solution to that?

http://youtu.be/WtBvgienNEw make sure you have winrar and change the option from normal to store
PSP2600 not work. Error C1-2858-3.
The CPS2PSP works fine, but, unfortunaliy, dont charge roms.. Just me or somebody have same problem?? The homebrew show the roms, but, after charge, appear ”could not open cache file”..
Daedalus R13 dont show to install, in VHBL.. Sad..
Im using PSP Vita 2.12 with Gamocracy exploit..
You need a program to help you make cache files for the games you want to play. They usually bundle the program with the emu.
Why don’t you just exploit an indie game?
Sony needs permission from the dev before removing the game. So the dev could be someone you know….
You mean purposely code a game to allow a exploit?
Enjoy the lawsuit >__>
ive made sure of the on multiple homebrews but still not having any luck. i uncompressed the rar file zip archive and store, CAP INSTALL.ZIP tossed it in a game save and no luck thats all correct right?
