PSVita TN-V Update Coming, Possibly New Kernel Exploit Release Soon
Yes, you read the title right.
As most of you know its been some time since the last PSVITA pspemu kernel exploit was released; with the last one being released on firmware 2.02 with the UNO exploit. So for those of you waiting for the next release there is some very good news on the horizon.
Developer Total_Noob is hard at work on an update for the highly popular PSVITA Custom Emulator Firmware TN-V. The update will bring some new features such as increased memory support, bug fixes and hopefully some fixes for some issues on TN-V3. But in addition we may see a new kernel exploit release from TN soon. The kernel exploit, when and if released, will be for the firmware that’s available at that time and would work on previously released exploits. Along with that, TN-V4 would be ported to the new kernel exploit release and the latest firmware.
As to when we will see either of them, nothing to confirm right now but well keep you updated with some more information in due time; make sure to check back. And while this sounds great, I would highly recommend not updating and losing your kernel exploit if you have one until things are set in stone.
TN is currently holding a little poll in the forums if you’d like to see TN-V4 and a new kernel exploit release, so make sure to go vote to let him know you do!
kernal exploit for FW 2.6 yes oh no ???
I love Tn TN-v4 hahaha
Forget the PS4 update! Even if he DID release Kernel on newer FW with PS4 support, there is no doubt Sony will require you to be connected with firmware version checks. Lets face it, we know nothing about PS4 and it’s Sony we’re talking about. They won’t make it easy, and I won’t be surprised if PS4 has a built in CMA like the Vita. I am not saying release this asap, I just know we know nothing about the PS4 and it could be a huge waste to wait for nothing.
It seems only moments ago people claimed there would never be anothe K-Exploit….Oh,wait.
That is good news, but hopefully, TN postpones releasing it until the PS4 release.
Dam whenvi saw this I got really depressed. I just updated 🙁
Total_Noob. I love you.
“Soon” as in Winter 2013/2014? ;P
Because while that does start to feel “soon” as you grow older (ugh, time passes so quickly!!), a lot of the people on this website probably don’t think that 3 to 5 months is soon. =)
I know this may seem cool to some people, but with the psp already being able to play “backups”, and applications like PPSSPP, TN-V is a complete waste of time. If I had the knowledge to create an app for Yifan Lu’s UVLoader, or the ability to reverse engineer the ps vita, I would focus on a native hack so we could play the N64 emulator and so many other custom applications at full speed.
Easily the best news all day.
This is awesome!
Im on Golor like many of us, but it would be much much better to have access to the entire library of psp stuff again. It’s a real shame that the system has to be compromised just to get normal use.
Wololo, is it possible to use the Golor vhbl to access the tnv4 exploit? Or, will we need to purchase something new?
i’will be waiting for this!!!!!!
Thank god!!! finnaly a dream come true. keep up great work thx
Wake Up to Good News 🙂
That’s awesome!!
But still a little thing, I’ve already held two Vita and one is still on 1.81 with kernel exploit. Should I update to get the new xeploit??? Is there any big differents between this one and Mad Blocker Alpha??
Somebody have any advice??
My vita is on 1.81 too (GC). I’ll update only when it is confirmed new exploit have JP version !
Hummmmm… is it actually legal to jailbreak the vita?
Toggle Support:
3G/4G: SIM:
Android: PSM:
DMCA &others For Phones Are Legal To Hack,
hmmmmmm…..
Well it obviously should be legal, but it depends what technique is used.(ex. leaked code like official SDKs makes derivative works illegal) DMCA makes circumvention of several types of security “illegal,” so it complicates the release of any serious exploit. Anyone smart would release anonymously if they were worried about that, but it’s hard to be completely anonymous if you already have a web presence or there are a limited number of people with your skills in your general area.
The court probably saw public utility and security in allowing people to control their own phones, along with allowing them to switch to other carriers, and that can’t be guaranteed to be upheld for a purely entertainment device like the Vita. I wouldn’t trust an extremely corporate friendly judiciary to rule in favor of a hacker over Sony.
For hacking their security, you might be able to publish a book filled with the code (as was done with PGP) even if you are banned from distributing the compiled software, but it’s unlikely that the courts would uphold that today. (they’d most likely say that the “free speech” of the source code that allows circumvention of Sony’s product’s security is derivative or representative of Sony’s intellectual property, and therefore Sony can block its publication and sue) PGP had the benefit of having great public utility for secure communications, and therefore protected some speech that most needed protection (along with some illegal activities, of course), and these arguments founded on freedom or rights can’t be made as easily for toys or purely entertainment devices.
I do believe that you should be able to do what you like with your property, but most current courts would probably accept that the risk of huge losses to Sony outweighs the moral benefit of creating open source firmware for a video game system. It’s possible that some future highly restricted phone will lead to a court case that removes the teeth from provisions about breaking the security on one’s own devices, though.
Well for beginners, there’s no such thing as a Jailbreak for the Vita.
But..but jd, how i mine 4 fish?
Excelente notícia.
Continuem assim.
Obrigado! (thank you )
wow this is great news. i’ll be checking back frequently for updates!
I don’t recommend updating either, even if there is a new kexploit! Don’t forget $ony removed the ability to change file names within homebrew, with update 2.06, I believe.
I would very much like a kernel exploit. I’ve wanted to re-play Crisis Core for a while now, but don’t feel like using my PSP to do it.
I’ll be watching for good news!
hopefully it will be available for asia regions. am looking forward to play crisis core and kingdom hearts:birthbysleep again on my vita..
I really like that there is a new TN-V coming out! But I hope that they release it after Killzone comes out.
I think and also hope that the developer Total_Noob has more than one game that can run the exploit because we all know that Sony will find a way to block it. Again great work and keep it up!
Sounds Great!!
me
psvita 2.60
can to crack ？
Nope…
Only 2.12
Oh my god, oh my god, OH MY GOD
Best news I’ve heard all day! I nearly missed the Gameocracy exploit, got in just a few hours before it was removed. Just a quick question, I have taken it upon myself to go through and test every single homebrew in that massive thread and I am nearly finished, so where exactly should I post these results?
In SMOKE’s thread? why would you post in anywhere else?
Since a lot of people were complaining about how there wasn’t any Kernel Exploit for a long time, now all of a sudden you people found one. Lmao
What is up with the stupid poll? It’s obvious that people want it. Pointless much?
Does increased memory support refer to use of RAM? If that’s the case, could it have any reasonable impact on homebrew like emulators and such? That would be extremely useful. Otherwise, it seems like the psp pirate scene is being opened up again for the vita. That sort of makes me sad.
TotalNoob you god you… you deserve a cookie
I have a question:
if we will download the game used for exploit, we need to connect to PSN, and we will be obligated to update to the latest firmware (2.60). Will the TN-V4 work on that?
As the exploit will be for the latest firmware I cant see why people arn’t updating. You’d be stupid not to update.
You need to get on PSN to get the exploit game so you need the latest update installed before anyway.
I’d say that until everything is 100% confirmed, all these announces should be taken with a grain of salt. So I completely get why some people would not update immediately!
will these make vita able to support vita/psp backups?
Only PSP.
Is it possible to do it run PS2 game on PSvita?
If your asking about running PS2 backups on the Vita then the answer is NO.
does it means i will can play pirated ps vita games??
NO….
Oh my God！！！New Kernel Exploit？？！！！！That is one of the best news in August！！The another great one is that Gateway 3DS！！
Holy sht people bought Vita so it can play nintendo games from the 80’s and PSP isos. LOL!!
correction, we bought the Vita for the boost in graphics,features and the amazing games that were supposed to be released on the device….but the games seem to be incognito,so we do what we do best,Improvise.
***, i had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1st.
Finally, the hack will win forever ! 😀
Hey Jd8531, I guess you should update the article with info about 2.60 which patched the ability to unlock additional memory.
I’m currently writing a new article now, will be published later..
WHY are people not updating?
He tweeted today its not coming out until the PS4 compatible firmware gets released so I’m guessing we’ll have to wait till the PS4 is released before he will release this TN-V4.
So update, why hold yourself back for no reason? Enjoy the bug fixes and new features $ony give you.
Why would we update as of right now? Makes no sense. I and many more people I’m sure enjoy VHBL.
Have Kernel Exploit Work on Fw 2.60 yes or no???
can i get on the ps store without updating my vita? as i have my free games to get this month
No, but you can use a PS3 to transfer the content over.
I been outta this vita news, it seems still no CFW I would have expected one by now… this is good news I suppose…
lets see it took a few years for the PS3 to get anywhere
now consider that the Vita is even more locked and secured then how long do you think it might take?
BTW even the PSP did not have CFW in its first year
