Release: TN-V4 for PS Vita 3.01 (and below)
The long wait is over! Almost one year after his latest release, Total_Noob is back with an eCFW for the PS Vita.
Total_Noob’s TN-V4 lets you run a variety of PSP Homebrews, plugins, and emulators on your PS Vita. It is compatible up to firmware 3.01 included (the latest PS Vita firmware at the time of this writing), and requires you to own one of the exploitable games that was revealed recently in our Ninja release.

How to download and install TN-V4
For now, the installation process is a bit rough, but I’m sure our community will have tutorials and more “user friendly” packages up in a few hours. In the meantime, please follow the instructions below:
Downloads
- download 660.PBP Here. (choose the PSP 1000/2000/3000 version, *not* the PSP Go version). Depending on the download links, if the file you download is named EBOOT.PBP, rename it into 660.PBP
- Download TN-V4’s binary files here
- Download the TN-V4 Loader for your game here. Choose the download that matches your game and region!
- If you don’t have it already, download and install OpenCMA
Preparation
- Extract the savedata from the TN-V4 loader of your game on your hard drive, in your CMA’s PSAVEDATA/xxxxx folder (where xxxx are a bunch of letters and numbers).
- Copy TN.BIN, FLASH0.TN, and 660.PBP in the game’s savedata folder (where you can find ‘H.BIN’)
- Copy the game’s savedata to your Vita, using OpenCMA
Running TN-V4
- Now run the exploit for the game (the trigger varies on the game. For 101-in-1 megamix, just loading the savedata should be enough) and TN-V should start.
- On the first boot, the recovery menu will appear automatically.
- Select ‘Advanced ->’ menu and then select ‘Install 6.60 files’ (this step is only needed if you’ve never used TN-V4 before).
- Enjoy the install progress.
- After the install is done, go back and exit the recovery menu.
- Enjoy TN’s awesome work.
If the instructions above are not enough to get you started, head over to hackinformer.com for more details and files. You can also ask for help in the comments section below, or in the forums
What to do next?
We’ll try to keep you up to date with more user friendly packages and tutorials, as I said above I’m sure they will come soon. Now get crazy and start downloading a few emulators and homebrews, we have a huge list here, and here
Please post feedback and issues below. This is a huge release with many files and many possible scenarios, so it is highly possible a few mistakes slipped in the release. If it doesn’t work for you right now, please report your problems as precisely as possible, and don’t lose your temper!

noob*
I had a problem with installing TN-V4 on my Vita 3.00 King of Pool (EU). So i found a thread that says that there is something wrong with the files and theres also a fix. This worked for me. If you also have the problem, read this. Hope it helps.

So far, so good, wololo, Total_Noob!! I installed TN-V4 successfully with megamix! THANKS SO MUCH!! I am very grateful for all the hard work you guys put in making TN-V4 work, especially you, TN! Oh yeah, I would like to report that “RIN GB/GBC Emulator” does not load and I would have to go to PSVita’s home screen and exit the whole game. Tekken 6 PSP is not able to load at all with a black screen, have to hit PSVita’s home and quit game using PSP XMB. ANyhow, glad everything still works pretty well. Can’t wait to try out Killzone Mercenary now that I updated. I hope Final Fantasy X HD for the PSVita does not require a higher firmware above 3.01 now. ;_; THANK YOU, TOTAL_NOOB!! FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!
After install can you remove the 660.PBP from the savedata folder?
same question o.O
im waiting for my answer!

when i start the game it doesnt show the 32 mb save data as it is in ps vita
I’ve put on Language: english (us). I can go to the TN Recovery menu, but when i press exit i just get black screen (still can hear the bg music) and after the c1-2858-3 error. Anyone can help?

Hey guys. I really need help. I was an idiot and deleted my Fieldrunners game from my vita. I have already installed TN-V4 but was having problems getting psp.cso installed. nyways, My question is…I can not get the fieldrunners game to show up on cma. Can I just redownload it from the PSN store and it will work still or is the version on the PSN store patched now and will not work? Please help me.
sorry you need the exploits mentioned here
I tried to do the OpenCMA trick where I connect to PC then plug it into the PS3 fast but it will not work. Idk why Fieldrunners is not showing up for me to transfer. I hope I can just redownload it from PSn again and get everything work. I am so stupid.
are you in the US? As I remember, PS3 transferring doesn’t work for the US FieldRunners.
for all peole ith C1-2858-3 error: take care and download megamix_eu AND tnv4 archives. you have to MERGE these two. when transfering only megamix_eu content it will give green screen and/or C1-2858-3 !!
do I have to install the iso for it work ? or can I just ftp the iso over to the ISO folder
put the iso in the same folder you put the “install” in. iso has to be in caps

So does anyone know? Any way I can get my fieldrunners back on my vita? Still on 2.61. Its in a bubble on my ps3 still.
I’ m uploading a just extract and play w/mario games for 101 in 1 megamix us
for who have green screen problem
I am on 1.81 firmware and I use URBANIX exploit.
Could I update to 2.61 continuing to use URBANIX?
Is there some procedure to use TN on 2.61 Vita with URBANIX?
The recent exploited games are required? So Urbanix, Uno, etc won’t work?
I thought they would so I didn’t bother getting the 101 in 1 Megamix. Will wait for the next ninja release then.
I already search for the whole day but i cant find anything and i have to ask here.
Is there a VHBL that works on FW 3.00 KoP ?

Now, Can someone help me?
no backup?
No backup. I am an idiot.
Hi, I have replied to your comment here.
I do not see anything. Could you please just give my an answer again of what I can do (if anything) ?
Nvm, I saw it. Yes, I am in the US So I guess I sc*** myself hard. I had everything installed perfectly. Wow. F U Sony!
Thought FieldRunners had to be installed using Charles Proxy since its a mini?. I tried with Open CMA and could not get it to install either. Haven’t bother trying the proxy.
The Error
C1-2858-3
System language to Englisch US!!!
It is a Bug!
http://www.4shared.com/zip/lzJozHDx/NPUH10088__1_.html fix
I love it 🙂
Lets to copy my emulators from my PSPgo!
I think we can get vita exploit now via PSP emu kernel 🙂
Downloading and installing this looks like a job for….somebody else, and tomorrow or something, it’s too late in the day to get red in the face and pound the keyboard. Thx for all the hard work to everyone involved, I’m really looking forward to putting my mint condition KH birth by sleep rip on my 5 inch oled =]
how to install ISOs
How do you install wagic on it? I tried a tut from a different site and it either shows up corrupt or doesnt show up in the game list to install
Hey i have a problem i make every step and i copy everything in my ps vita but the aplication of 100-1 doesn’t show up is not there help please what should i do?
Hi all,
I tried to get an iso into the VITA…but it doesnt show up on the game list…what am i doin wrong eh?
just make sure you renamed your backup properly in ALL CAPS INCLUDING the filename extension. e.g. FFTWOTLX.ISO
take note that the filename extension is in all caps too. this is usually the issue with other people. good luck.
