PS Vita How-To: Use IRC To Stay Up To Date And In Contact With The PS Vita Scene
There is now an option out there for those involved in the PS Vita scene to contact each other and post news via IRC. It utilizes Total-Noob’s TN-V to create a universally accessible “chatroom” for everyone wanting to use it. This method is brought to you by abdou005. Here is how to get this PS Vita chatroom setup so that you can stay connected to all the latest PS Vita news, and input your own ideas.
Here is what you need:
- PS Vita running TN-V
- Yama IRC – get it here and follow the homebrew instructions here to install. Credits to Yamagushi
- TN SaveState Pugin – get it and see how to install here. Credits to Total-Noob.
Now, configure YamaIRC a seen in the following pictures:
After you are done with your configurations, go back to the location in the first image by selecting the check mark. At this point, hold down your start button to load up he SaveState plugin. Save the state following the prompts. YamaIRC is setup s that you have to enter in the config each time you start it up. Now you can have these setting saved and load up YamaIRC from anywhere, including other homebrews and games by holding start and using the D-pad to get to your savestate.
Now you need to connect:

You have now entered the #psvita chatroom. To write, press X. To private chat a friend, press start, choose user list, and select the said friend.
To much improve your experience with this homebrew, hold down on your Vita’s home button, tap settings, and configure the right analog stick to the D-Pad.
That’s all for now from me The Jay Doctor. Thanks to abdou005 for the instructions and the tip, to Total-Noob for TN-V and his Savestate plugin, and to Yamagushi for YamaIRC. Follow and/or contact me on Twitter @The_Jay_Doctor.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but is this just an article that talks about installing a regular PSP homebrew and running it and using TN’s savestate plugin? What’s so special to make this a front page article?
It helps, educates and informs people that they can use IRC on their PS Vita.
On PS3HaX/PS4HaX i front page many guides and tutorials, after all these sites are here to give people information that they need :p
Good question, specially considering that, THIS IS USELESS, there’s this thing called Friend on Vita that lets you chat and stuff. This is basically like making a tutorial on how to use the PSP browser on the Vita.
Just as USELESS as your comment.
1.) Adding a friend on your PS Vita, does not let you chat with non PS Vita/PS3/PS4(etc) people across the world.
2.) IRC users cannot access PS Vita chat.
@Yifan Lu “What’s so special to make this a front page article?”
–> I wanted an easy chatroom Think :
1) The (Need) of a Ps Vita “chatroom” could be accessed by everyone. even lower firmware than 2,02 because of the “Ps Vita’s Browser low HTML5 support”
2) The Homebrew YamaIRC support “Ps Vita touch keybord” (faster) + it looks cool and well-made/organised.
3) TN savestate plugin “solved” the problem of configure everytime the homebrew is Close/Open
4) Ps Vita “Channel” was just an example for the Guide, users can connect to other channels.
I have also Guide about “Using Ps Vita as Wifi-Controller for Computer”.

More coming soon ;).
*—> I Think
what about people who was groaning for a tn-v and can’t install homebrews like me i have only bought the vita for like 2 weeks and look what i found “nothing” but pieces of *** saying we have to install homebrews install these and those i’ve been following wololo for months firstly i thought it was rediculous website but no wololo could be an awesome website if they acts correctly and i know that you want to sen every pieces of information you’ve got but hey why don’t you post it on the site or the main board cause i don’t think they can have acess on wololo.net but if they really want to spy on us by faking as a psvita user even though you guys make an irc method i’m pretty sure that they can acess on to it
doesn’t make too much sense man
hows the lag with the wifi controller?
I’d say it puts light on a very nice (yet not very well known) use of homebrew on the vita, and far enough from the typical “emulator this, iso that, filemanager foo” that it is good to mention
Exactly
Maybe it was a sign for my to start creating content again. 😉
hey look Yamagushi still exists
Hello. =D
I love you <3. Thanks for coming back <3. Your homebrew is really helpful ! You are great 😉
So Yamagushi lives on after the Zune HD it seems…
Tn-V prometeusonline pleas
I have a suggestion on the exploits, I think the private releases should be given either to 10 people who are very much interested in the release since they have not catched the past releases or to a group of 10 or more which would be created in the forums. It would be better this way since a lot of people would benefit 1 exploit. 1 exploit = 10, 100 or more people are happy.
nope i think they should leave it this way, so they can find out if there is trust in the community
If it’s released period there is leak risk. I feel the community is trustworthy, but the trustworthy are a minority. I never spoke about a Ninja release, I keep my *** mouth shut, if everyone did the same, Ninja releases would work. The sad fact is people don’t read, they don’t understand how things work. They leak without knowing it is supposed to be secret, or they want 5 minutes of fame for their stupid leak. Either way, stupidity isn’t an excuse, and leakers get punished for their actions.
I think they already found out that there are some people probably 10 out of 5000 or more are only those causing problems. That’s the reason for having groups, so that they can determine among who those people gave away or leaked the exploit.
Blame the leakers, and general human stupidity. I already have an exploit, because I have been following this website for almost a year now. I don’t feel bad for those who missed such a anticipated release. TN announced he was working on V4 way before it came out. Obviously the fools who missed one of the several exploits are to blame for not being pro-active. I have no sympathy for self inflicted wounds.
I would also like to point out, I never joined the private exploit giveaways. I felt it would be disrespectful to the community when i already had an exploit. I would like to think the winners aren’t people with exploits already, because that would be a waste.
Well, there are hundreds of tutorials on /talk, sometimes even better made and you don’t see every one of them on main page
This was “better” made if you see the source 😉 –>

I write guides everytime i see that “an idea” deserve to be shared.
like the “Use Your Ps Vita as a Wifi Controller”

Thank’s to Wololo and The Jay Doctor for their support
This is cool! Will connect via my phone rather;)
maybe this could be another way of doing ninja release , because of those *** leakers
Holy ***. Randomly check this site today and there is an article on an old homebrew app of mine =D
Many thanks for developing this, I use it alll the time.
That’s great to hear, thank you for enjoying it. Seeing this posted today is really inspiring me to start working on some projects again. =)
I’m glad you are enjoying it. Thank you for your feedback it makes me very happy to see my work being appreciated. =)
Me too, i use this awsome homebrew everyday <3. Thanks Yamagushi
Add me on Twitter @YamagushiGames or just visit Yamagushi.com
Your articles are really dissapointing me. Just like what Acid Snake said, it’s basically using a PSP web browser, which all of us already know how to use and a chatroom that makes no since cause we are already chatting on wololo
Wow… maybe some people think this may not be particularly useful, maybe some will. There is, however, an awful lot of @$$hole going on in the comments, especially considering some of the utterly ridiculous “front page” posts that have been going up the last few months.
Hey pot, this is the kettle… You’re black.
And you do realize that you’re not REQUIRED to read those posts, right?
If it didn’t look useful to you, why did you click on it? Morbid curiosity?
Find better ways to spend your time.
y u no freenode.net?
wanna throw this out to see the responses…. remind anyone of a bbs?
just screen and irssi would be nice in ubuntu lua 🙂
