The 3.01 exploit games have returned to the PSN!

After nearly 4 months of playing cat and mouse, Sony finally brought the exploit titles, used to trigger the TN-V eCFW at firmware 3.01, back.
King of Pool, 101-in-1 Megamix, Fifa (Soccer) 2011/2012, Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks and Persona 2: Innocent Sins, to be specific, are now back at the PSN store and can be bought, redownloaded, etc.
Flashback: December 2013, TN-V eCFW and exploit games
If we look back a few months, we can see that weāve released basically every 3 weeks an exploit title, which can be used to trigger the TN-V eCFW at the firmware 3.01 (and below).
Despite being (partially) illegal, Sony removed the games from the download lists of their users (the illegal thing) and delisted it in the PSN store (the legal thing).
People were unable to buy or redownload said games, to prevent, let us say ātry to preventā, them from accessing the TN-V eCFW, until their new firmware 3.10 (and 3.12) fixed the kernel mode exploit and every released usermode exploit for firmware 3.01, even some private ones, like Numblast.
If you had a corrupted backup, and were unable to re-enter the eCFW, now is the chance to redownload your exploit game, transfer it via a PS3 and finally re-use the eCFW, as long as your firmware is still 3.01 or below.
The exploit game chart is now updated, and even features an exploit for the most recent firmware 3.12, as long as you own the japanese exploit title, that was used to run the VHBL at firmware 2.61, and now also at 3.10/3.12, you are able to have both: Online services AND homebrew access.
The blacklisting of previous exploit games is currently only present in the North American PSN stores, and does not affect the glorious EU PSN stores, whose exploit games are still transferable to a PS Vita.

awesome! Iām just bummed I happened upon the vita scene when the ninja release for FIFA was going on since I messed up and bought 2012, and in my haste thought 2012 wouldnāt work so I bought 2011 as well..ended up spending around 60$ for an exploit game..so I wanna at least get justification out of spending that much on a game so I donāt wanna buy another..although I would love to have Numblast considering itās the fastest exploit game for 3.01ā¦
Sony to beat piracy, with the move to rilascire emulator psp, and drive us crazy behind this. So you do not work on the root
Futile effort from Sony. I wonder how much time and resources they waste fixing these silly PSP exploits. Its their fault for making a PSP emulator in the first place. PSP was their first handheld, it had mostly exclusive titles. Now on Vita we have more PSP ports than exclusive Ps Vita titles. Developers are probably scared of the Vita because of how open the PSP was. Either way I look at it, this Vita is a glorified PSP. With only a few titles Im interested in. One being a PS2 remake (ffx). I want to like my vita, but without TN it would sit on a shelf.
They make no effort at all compared to all the efforts people spend exploiting PSP emu š
Yep people dumped their 100% hackable PSPs to go and hack a Vita just to do whatever they were doing before.
Iād say Sony finds it amusing.
So would you say it makes more sense carrying 2 portable consoles around with you everywhere, or just the one with the most capabilities?
Think about it.
I mean, Iād only carry one at a time. I play one game at a time usually(mostly RPGs). Good reason to keep your PSP: PSX emulation WITH sound. Vita does not have this yetā¦
Well nothing better than having online access and psp games using 2 analog stick with oled screen without ghosting on screen like the psp before the update my vita was perfect thats why we should have more exploit like this
i bought new ps vita firmware 3.01 i transfer numblast and exploit using open cma and everytime i start numblast my vita says go to home screen and select settings psn system activation and then activate your ps vita system.. i cant activate my vita because its push me to update the firmware what can i do to activate my vita without updating the firmware? thanks
To activate without internet, download any vita game from psn to your ps3, then copy it over to your vita and run it. It will activate your psn account on your vita so you can play all your games. If your vita asks you to update itās firmware while connecting to your ps3, simply reboot the vita, plug it to your pc with opencma, and if you can successfully connect it with connection manager, unplug the cable then plug it to your ps3 and it should be able to connect so you can transfer the downloaded games.

thanks james 1 more question my ps3 is jailbroken 4.55 rogero it is okay to buy the games on my ps3
Sure but the odds of getting banned for taking it online are high
My vita fw is 3.12. I really want to play N64 games on it, but I donāt want to waste money, so here it goes:
Will I be able to emulate N64 games if I buy one of these games and install HBL?
Assuming this will work, is there any chance the emulator will stop working if sony banishes the game or something?
Thanks in advance.
The Z has gone to the trouble of making a rather nifty chart detailing what firmwares each game will work on
Take a look at it and get back to me on if these will work on 3.12
Trueā¦ My mistakeā¦ so no happiness for us 3.12 users? Just wait untill some āexploitableā game is released?
There are no plans for any releases right now but yea pretty much
=(
Wellā¦ Thanks anyway.
Sigh, Iāve been trying to find a way to download FFX-2 without having to update my Vita. It looks like all workarounds for bypassing PSN have been blocked, except the PS3/Open-CMA trick. Itās too bad that wonāt work for downloading FFX-2ā¦. š
Guess Iāll wait for some genius to figure something else out.
Itās good to hear the exploit titles are back up though!
I just transferred FFx-2 to my Vita earlier today. I already had FFX on my Vita so I needed to delete that download but after FFX-2 finished downloading I made sure I had the download bubble on the PS3. Then I used the Open CMA trick to connect my Vita to my PS3. Then I just transferred like normal š
For some reason, I assumed that I wouldnāt be able to do that. Thanks so much for the heads up ā Iām in the process of doing that right now.
Cheers! š
i donāt get why sony cares so much about the exploits, i mean they only let you play psp gamesā¦unless using those exploit games are just a step away from hacking the actual Vita Os
Will be cool if someone figured a way to tranfer from PS4 console. I still want to get me one. Donāt have a PS3.
wololo ā¦.it true ,,https://www.facebook.com/Psvita.Hack
wlololo you can hacks iPhone or ANDROID ā¦.. FOR PLAY GAME IN PSVITA
āThe PSNā. Not just PSN. Cos itās that special for us TNV/VHBLers
and can be repuchased redownloaded and reinstalled ā¦
does this mean they can be rexploited ?.?
So this means if I ever accidentally lose my KoP Iāll be able to get it back using the PS3 method?
Numblast on 3.01 still best )))
Just to double check on this PS3 OpenCMA thing.
1. Connect to PC(or attempt to)
2. Unplug USB, and put it in the PS3
3. Continue as normal and transfer the file?
Something isnāt clicking with me. Itās still telling me to update the firmware. Iāve tried uninstalling CMA completely and reinstalling OpenCMA with no results. Am I doing something wrong?
You have to be logged into PSN on your PS3ā¦
Oh, of course. I probably should have mentioned that. Iām all signed in and everything. Still asks for an update, though. I think I might be boned, anyway. As of now, it seems like my Vita isnāt registered with CMA since I tried un/reinstalling it. Still trying to figure this out.
Yep. Sorry to double post, but itās not working. Everything is registered, and everything is online. I still canāt get past the update screen. Wonāt let me connect. Again, Iāve tried reinstalling everything to no avail.
Did you figure this out? I can not get past the update screen on my vita either. Tried everything.
still waiting play psx game with sound on vita.
:((
You can do that already.
Open PSN and get any PS1 game you want to play with sound.
So is it possible to buy these games at PSN-store now and āhackā my vita with 3.01 FW? i missed the ninja releases before btw.
Anyone knows?
Yes, but youāll need a PS3 to transfer them
A stupid question maybe, you can hack games using a mega account is each of us buy games is to have an account then opened to all, who is from 1 euro can enter? It would be a Social Hacking idea .. a curious aspect of the hands of experts, who only 1 euro gift will become part of this account
wololo saw that you wrote VHBL would be possible to exploit the machine to run Android in PSP?
for those how update to 3.12
is it good to buy these games and wait
or just no hope for exploit on 3.12
Anybody getting the same error i have if i want to put 101-in-1 Megamix in the basket at PSN with the ps3ā¦
I canāt buy it, even that i did that already in december. Also it isnāt in my downloadlist.
Would someone please clarify what is exactly the difference between so-called the ākernelā and āuserā modes? I mean all hack utilities (for example, TN-V) work only within the internal PS Vitaās PSP emulator, so there cannot be any ākernelā mode by defenition.
Thanks.
can i transfer a ā101 in 1 megamixā exploit game to my vita from my friendās ps3, that he hasnāt installed (still in a bubble)?
YEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
I knew there was a reason I held off updating and this is it!
I finally have a hacked Vitaā¦Iām so happy!
so keenanā¦.
would you mind sharing ideas and possibly resources towards hacking a vita?
even i have waited for long hoping that one day i would hack my vita but to no avail. so help me please.
In the US ToS for PSN it basically says you buy the right to play the game but it is revokable at anytime for any/no reason. (Or at least it did like a year ago)
I believe that makes it legal for them to pull from download lists.
I try to avoid digital because of it. (Though sometimes you have no choice)
RE EXPLOIT THE GAMES ! Xd
I have just purchased a brand new PS Vita ā with 1.81 purchased Persona 2- innocent sins, have CMA set up and copied over the files I need but however cannot seem to see Personal 2 when connected to the PS3 via the Ps3 I can only see all the other games I have purchased for transfer. How can I copy Persona over to the new system?
Iām in the same position as Don Li. It seems that Persona 2 has been blacklisted on the European (or UK at least) PSN. I can see all the other games except that one on the list when using the OpenCMA -> PS3 trick. After waiting so long for the game to come back on the store, I think this last obstacle has finally defeated me. Time to update to 3.12 and give up the dream of OLED Castlevania goodness š
Hey Iāve given up on Persona 2 and also monster hunter as they both did not work. However if you are on 1.81 try getting Urbanix as Iāve finally got exploit working with this game. I hope this helps also yes I am on the Eu Psn store. GOOD LUCK!
dont lose hope i managed to update my vita to 3.01 and transfer numblast using open cma and ps3 trick..to update lower firmware to 3.01 you need to have a physical game like final fantasy xx-2 to me i have a final fantasy xx-2 if you have that game run it to your lower firmware vita and it update your vita to 3.01
Does both your ps3 and PS Vita have to be on the same account so you can transfer a game over? Cause my brother has numblast and I wanna transfer it to mine. Thanks in advance for answer
yeah same accountā¦as for now you cannot transfer exploited games to ps3 but if your brother has a numblast games then copy it to pc using open cma then transfer it to your vita using open cma (note: you need to link your brothers psn id to your vita) but if you run numblast to your vita you need to activate it first to play.. to acivate use open cma ps3 trick sign in your brother psn id to ps3 then download any free games to psn then transfer to your vita and your vita is activate now you can play numblast
Tried the above tutorial. No luck canāt get past the update screen on my vita. Any help?? Or should I give up. Been waiting on 3.01 forever!
Hi, I tried the opencma PS3 tricks but it does not work. the game does not show up in my Vita when i connect to my ps3 after disconnected from my PC, it keeps give me message āthere is no contentā. i have bought NUMBLAST and download it to my PS3.
please help
If i have Z.H.P. Zettai Hero Project (3.18 and below ā VHBL) I can run eCFW too? Or only with Numblast 3.01 eCFW ??
I just bought my PS vita with firmware 1.x . I want to know what firmware does Final Fantasy X HD remaster, i havent update my firmware yet. Im not sure what firmware does Final fantasy have
