Release: New Exploit Games For Firmwares 3.01 and 3.10
For those of you still on PS Vita firmware 3.01, and even 3.10, there has been a big bang of events today. Six more titles were released for 3.01, and a game was re-exploited for 3.10.
Today was a hectic day of releases. First, katsu, recently more known for his hardware hacking, released 5 different games that are exploitable on Vita firmware 3.01. Later on, a cohort of mine, @heleius, released another game that is also exploitable. I would like to make it known, that @qwikrazor87 was actually the one man show who exploit all 6 of these games. If you would like to donate to qwikrazor, go ahead and do so:
Now on to what the games actually are. Again, these will only work for those on firmware 3.01. If you don’t know how to to this, Jd8531’s guide should be a big help. You can find download files for all of the games at the end.
World of Pool
You are probably wondering, wasn’t this game patched in a previous update? Just like Urbanix, it was, but re-exploited again.
Pool Hall Pro
Again this game was also patched and re-exploited. for those of you that still have the game, but updated to 3.01, you can use it again.
Arcade Pool & Snooker
You guessed it, another game that was re-exploited. Wow.
Arcade Airhockey & Bowling
This one is special, it not only can load up TN-V but also VHBL.
Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest
This game is actually a new one that hasn’t before been exploited.
Numblast/Qruton
This game is also newly exploited. The Japanese version of this game is called Qruton.
Out of all of these games, I would recommend Numblast. Here is why, a quote from heleius:
Numblast is the ‘Field Runners’ of 3.01, it is fast, cheap $2.99, and takes up 36mb of space. I’d recommend getting it for anyone on 3.01 it is cheap, and you just start the game and it loads directly into TN-V.
Firmware 3.10 Exploit!
Jikkyo Pawafuru Puro Yakyuu 2012 and PawaPuro 2012 Ketteiban
This one is for firmware 3.10. It is really cool because using the way that Sony patches exploits, this exploit is impossible to patch. The game is Japanese only, and is permanently gone from the store. It will only work for those who already have it. This exploit was made by 173210. See instructions on installation here.
Downloads and installation
Once you have these files, you will need to put the TN-V core files into the savedata folder, and copy to your PS Vita with OpenCMA. If you already have OpenCMA, you will have to delete the files, update the official CMA, and reapply the OpenCMA files.
Let’s summarize:
- Get the TNV Loader (exploit) matching your game on our dedicated download page
- Get the TN-V Core files and copy them to your exploit savedata folder
- Copy the exploit to your Vita using OpenCMA
Need more details or help? Head over to our TN-V Dedicated forum!
FAQ
I’m on Firmware 3.10, will any of these 3.01 exploit work for me? Can I downgrade to 3.01?
No, and No. But the pawapro exploit above (JP only) will work on 3.10!
How to buy the games without having to update, if I’m on Firmware 3.01?
Follow this guide from Jd8531
That’s all for now from me, The Jay Doctor. I hope that all of you who didn’t have the chance to get TN-V before, get it now. Speak your thoughts in the comments below, or on Twitter, where you can contact/follow me @The_Jay_Doctor using the handy links today.

Still rocking Arcade Darts on a 2.10 Vita. R.I.P. Uno.
I am on 3.01 and when I try to connect to PSN with the PS Vita, it wants me to update. How can I get a game from the PSN without updating, as I am not interested in their latest firmware (it is buggy they say).
Can it be downloaded to my wallet by connecting to PSN via a computer. Buy the game(s). How will the PS Vita know to download these when I start it up (ie. see this: http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=37671 ) Would that work?
Yes.
steve just update to 3.10 or use proxy
once on the psn download the game for the fw u want
happy ploitz
Not sure what you mean. I have 3.01 – to connect to PSN it asks you to upgrade. By upgrading you are going to 3.10. I would like to stay on 3.01 but also play the purchased game. Is that possible?
do u think its possible work numblast in 3.10 an 3.12 in future?its better buy it or not?im in 3.10
please answer me
I have 3.01 on my vita, if i try to connect, on my vita it reads" You must update software for PS Vita system" Help Please !!!
try turning off your computer and ps vita wifi or turn off your vita and turn it back on in airplane mode.
You dont “connect” to anything on your vita. You use the ps3 store to transfer the game and you use a pc to transfer the savedata exploit. If it says you must update software while trying to connect to the PC, then you arent using Open CMA like you were supposed to.
When I try to extract Open CMA to my CMA folder, it says “Access is denied.” Did Sony patch a workaround to keep Open CMA out?
You cannot extract it directly to the folder. Extract it to the desktop then drag it to the folder
How do you get a game off the psn with outdated firmware? I’m running 3.01 atm.
I assume pc to vita?
IS THERE ANY EXPLOIT FOR 3.10 PLZ RESPOND!!!!!!!
I have 3.01 and I cant get open cma to work, followed the steps correctly but its keeps prompting me to update my vita. I already have Arcade Airhockey & Bowling ready on my ps3 and this is the only method i know, can some one assist me please?
The same goes for me, it’s forcing me to update and I’m running open CMAv5. I’m not able to load PSP games to my PSVita because of this, have Tn-v5, FW 3.01 and 101-in-1 Megamix. Please, help.
Sorry, but this list is useless. To get to PSN you have to upgrade from 3.01 to 3.10 – once on 3.10, you cannot use these games since are already over the required 3.01, thus, you are wasting your time and it does NOT work.
This would work if there was a 3.10 exploited game RIGHT NOW.
You can also use the Web Proxy method with a PS3. My Vita is on 2.10 and I have no issues transferring Vita games from my PS3 to my Vita.
Hi,
Have you a tuto?
I am in 3.01 and i need to re activate my vita but no acces without update!!Thank you for your help
Hi there psvita girl here, I am not the best with this I have a psvita 2.12 fw, and can’t seem to understand how to upgrade without updating fw can someone do a simple YouTube vid tutorial I would be really grateful guys 😉
Thanks in advance Lisa from Sydney Australia
Hi Lisa. I’m having same drama can someone just do a YouTube vid please 🙂
No, you can use a proxy to stay on 3.01, this is detailed in jd8531’s guide, as we explain in the article. Read again and pay more attention.
Hey guys, I downloaded Numblast US and put all the required files into the NPUG80320KEXPLOIT folder before transferring it to my vita. For some reason though, the game tells me that there are no save files. However if I transfer the NPUG80320SAVEDATA folder I get a c1-2858-3 error. Could I get some help?
Im on 3.01 btw
I’m getting this same error, does anyone know of a solution?
getting the SAME error too, can we get a quick fix? I have pool hall pros though
I figured it out, you have to copy both folders to your vita make sure 660.pbp is in the kexploit foler
This did not work for me. What the heck am I doing wrong? Yes, I’ve followed the guide, did what The Zett told me to do, and have the right files for JP Qruton.
Absolutely worked like a charm! Thank you SO much! 😀
Is this gonna work for the ver. 3.12?
Thanks bro
Pool Hall Pro exploit does not work.
Numblast/Qruton & Arcade Airhockey & Bowling not work in 3.10
Sorry my update firmware is 3.12
Merci @qwikrazor87 J’ai enfin réussi à avoir un jeux affordable pour le firmware FW 3.01.
Thanks @qwikrazor87 I Finaly have an affordable game for the FW 3.01.
WHY THE heck didn’t you release the list before there was a new firmware update. this is so stupid. what kind of community is that? or am i wrong?
It is to avoid further leaks that has happened. We have a big game and Sony had patched it because inconsiderate folks have informed Sony. We are a community but, Admins have placed restrictions on whose is to know about exploits or who isn’t. Simply put.
so then the leakage is one of the trusted people because the update came at the same time this list came out. That, or SONY is really quick, impressively quick at finding the exploit also.
arcade pool & snooker and arcade air hoockey & bowling exploits don’t work for me
can anyone tell me why it deosn’t work?
@ MAX Yes you are wrong. If you want to get a eCFW on your Vita, the last thing you should do is installing brandnew Vita firmware.
arcade pool & snooker does not work for me either
numblast does work for me
I don’t see Qruton OR Numblast on the JP store. Where the heck?!
Numblast is SGD15.99 on SG store >_<
still worth to buy ? i'm scare it will not work …
Hi All, I am having this problem. I just bought the game Numblast from my PC logging on my PSN profile. When I turn on the PS Vita FW 3.01 and I try to sign in, it doesn’t let me sign in as it asks for a System Update (I guess the 3.10) How can I do to download the game on my PS Vita?
For gods sakes you need a ps3 to buy the game and transfer it to your vita, did you even read the tutorial?
Like i said before, the pool hall pro exploit does not work. I have 3.01, the game, and the exploit and did it exactly as followed. Stop deleting my comments.

Go on the ps3, go to store, download game, transfer to vita. It isnt that hard. Read the Tutorial.
can we get a fix for pool hall pro? It wont load the tn-v loader.
Thanks Fuji77 but I don’t have a PS3 ((
Is there another workaround? ((((
guys, I bought the pool hall pro american, downloaded and did everything contained in the tutorial, but nothing happens in the game. Has anyone used this game to install 6.60? If so, how did that to run TN V-8 and install it? grateful
To everyone asking how to get games without upgrading read the tutorial. I am new to the scene I read that tutorial and viola 3.01 with Numblast.
Chaoswanderer, Where is this tutorial?
The only tutorial that I found is not working for me.
If I download a game from the PSN through my PC and I then push it to be downloaded to my PS Vita and I restarted my Vita but the game is not going to be downloaded. I am in South Africa at the moment and I have seen that the PSN store from here is not accessible. Could be it the reason? (I am using a proxy on my pc).
after doing all this can i turn on my wifi and surf the web on the vita? thanks.
is this available in firmwre 3.12
I tried to install tnv8 on Pool Hall Pro but it doesn’t work.
After following all the steps, I enter the game and load the savedata, but it doesn’t open the recovery menu and after a while it returns an error and exit the game.
Does anyone found a solution or some other working game for the exploit?
Numblast is SGD15.99 on SG store >_<
still worth to buy ? i'm scare it will not work …
What are the steps to trigger the exploit using Arcade Pool & Snooker on FW 3.01?

For Qruton, you might want to add the katakana name to this article: クルトン. You will have a heck of a time trying to find it if you type it in English. Found it in a second when typing it in Japanese! Also, on iPhone or PC it kept giving me an error when trying to purchase it, but had no problems when purchasing it on my PSP! If you have a PS3, you might try that, too. BTW, Qruton is 1,000 yen on the JP PSN. That’s $10 compared to the US PSN price of $2.99… But I’d rather keep my card as is, so I’m sticking to my JP account.
