PS Vita: the new exploited game to run VHBL on firmware 3.15 is…
We announced a few weeks ago that we would release a new port of VHBL to firmware 3.15. VHBL is a homebrew loader for the PS Vita. It lets you run fan-made games and emulators on your PS Vita. In order to run, VHBL needs an “exploit” which requires users to purchase a specific game on the PSN Store. For more details on VHBL, check our VHBL page.
Developer 173210, famous for having ported VHBL to several game exploits in the past, is back at it with a new exploit, and he is kind enough to share his port with us. The game is only available on the Japanese store, and is unfortunately not compatible with the VitaTV.
However, 173210 believes that the exploit in this game cannot easily be patched by Sony, making it a somewhat unique exploit on the vita scene. 173210 had previously released such exploits for the game Pawapuro, but circumstances were different, as that game had already been removed from the PSN before he had announced the exploit.
So, JP only game, not compatible with the Vita TV, but the hope that the exploit will not be patched anytime soon… I think for our Japanese readers, that’s a no brainer and they should get it. For you people out there with a US or EU account… well the choice is a bit tougher. Keep in mind that VHBL itself will not let your run isos, but the exploits it relies on can be the door to an eCFW port in the future (such as TN Hen). and we already know that running TN Hen on firmware 3.15 is a thing.
The exploited game is: MyStylist.
Yes, I can tell without playing it that this game sucks. It’s not even a game from what I can tell. Oh god, Fashion, my eyes! And yes, I’ve bought it. For my vita TV. Which is when I realized it wasn’t compatible with it (that’ll teach me to dismiss the warning messages from the PSN). Oh well, an exploit is an exploit 🙂
If you are interested in VHBL, get that game, now. Sony will most likely remove it from their stores within 48h. Which will be a shame, really, to see such a good game go away.
The files for VHBL itself will be released in the days to come, stay tuned.
I read somewhere that it can’t be patched. How’s that? 😀
This is using a slightly different type of exploit than our regular buffer overflows. As such, the savedata itself cannot easily be patched with the same approach that Sony usually takes. 173210 believes this is unpatchable. His previous game exploit, for pawapro, hasn’t been patched by Sony yet, which tends to prove 173210’s theory.
Hm, I don’t think it’s a real proof just because the PawaPuro 2012 Ketteiban exploit hasn’t been patch and probably never will.
Actually I think the reason why this exploit hasn’t been patched by Sony is really simple: they probably don’t care! I mean the normal process is to remove the exploit game from the store, patch the exploit, put the game back on the store, but for PawaPuro there were never any plans to put it back on the store, so maybe from Sony’s perspective there was simply no reason to patch this exploit. So due to this I think the PawaPuro exploit wouldn’t have been patched, even if the exploit would be a ‘regular’ one.
Nope, is because they would have to change something on the game (aka modyfing the source code, and the developer should do that, not sony) It’s not just blacklisting features on the PSPemu when a specific game is running (that’s what sony usually does and that’s why they release new firmwares to fix exploits: they don’t patch games, they patch firmwares)
But in the case of PawaPuro, and most probably MyStylist, it isn’t just a simple Buffer Overflow that can be patched by limiting PSPemu capabilities when the specific game is running.
I mean, do you really think they care more about useless minis instead of a Konami game?
Does it mean if i buy it i’ll always be able to use it to run vhbl on 3.15+ firmwares? o.O
This is great…now waiting on wistines release while looking for my own exploi:-)
Maybe its possible make the same way to run netlfix on jp account to unlock this game on a US/EU account. Its possible not buy this and install it on my console with a develop unit?
No, this is not possible, read our explanation about the Netflix glitch, as you’ll see this only works for free apps and some demos
wololo
is there any way or a tutorial in how to sig in my play station account in my vita runing frimware 3.01
i rebuid the data base now am stuck
can you help me
thanks
Transfer a game from a PS3 to your Vita to Activate your account. If you don’t have a PS3, ask a friend.
Also, read the “lower firmware for dummies” guide that’s somewhere on the blog (if you can’t find it google will help you)
How can you buy this game if you have an US account?
Create a JP account
You can’t have both a Japanese account and a US account on one device either, so unless you want your vita registered to your Japanese account you may want to skip this release
Yes you can actually. Its just in some ways a pain since you need two memory cards and resetting your vita when you want to switch between both
Oh no way? Can you link me to a tut if there is one? I already bought this game and was just about to dismiss it as a waste of money, but I can make do with doing this since I have two cards!
This only works with PSN access.
Once there is an update, you are *** (if you dont have a PS3).
im still waiting playing psx on vita with audio
*PS1, and this might take more time than people expect it would…
Here’s a better idea tell us the game in the forums first before posting this now
This has been announced in the forums for a while, with an extremely visible green banner. Even if you were not part of the “trusted” members on the forum, you still had about 12h of lead time. Sorry if you missed it.
I was trusted!!!(Thanks guys/girls)
Hey Wololo, Im not asking when Wistine will release his own. I just wanted to ask if you know if he is still waiting for that possible update to the Vita that he was concerned about when you interviewed him?
I think I’m gonna pass on this one, $15 AUD for a crappy stylist game on a Japanese account doesn’t seem worth the effort at all.
So once this game is taken down, there is no way to transfer it from my ps3 to my vita correct? I kind of bought this as a just in case I eventually want to update from 3.01..
The second the game is removed/delisted from the PSN, you are unable to transfer it to your Vita.
You can transfer it now, but keep your 3.01 firmware, so you have it, in case you want it.
Keep in mind to actually run/start the game, you have to change your account to a japanese one.
Ok glad I made sure, I’ll go ahead and do that now then. Appreciate it.
Really appreciate the help, all backed up now on my vita’s second memory card!
hi
i have to ps vita 1 running the oficial frimware
and the other running 3.01 but i delete my ps account now the one that i used for run hombrew is asking to install link ps acount wich mean go to psn server
is there any way around
can anyone help me
Only way to do it is by using a PS3. No other way to do so.

Go to “Settings/Format/Restore the PS Vita System” (without the memory card inserted) And Format, then when you turn on the PS Vita again input the PSN account details then you should be able to run the game.
Got it but uhm one Question
I used my second Memorystick for the Japanese PSN
Could I change it back to my other EU Memorystick now or will the game be lost on the second Memorystick?
Why this game only for jp psntiee but not us and so what point of release it if it not for us and EU?
The game does not exist in other stores.
“Point of releasing it?” – Why keep it, if it will never be available in other stores?
We make people happy that want homebrews at their vita, they just have to use the JP Store.
The point of releasing it is because, believe it or not, there are actually people that live in Japan as well as people who use the Japanese PSN for their main account who would like to get a game in their PSN store as well. There are also some people who don’t mind having to reregister their PS Vita to access the PSN store (as I just found out myself, I’m now one of those people).
I’m one of those guys who bought a vita and created a JPN psn account since day 1 ( EU user).
Many thanks finally was around during a release this time around.
sounds like you’re another stupid ‘murican
Please don’t mock the greatest country in the world, besides Japan of course.
your definition of “greatest” makes me sick…
Agreed.
Have you ever stood face to face with a commie, son? It’s a heck of a thing to do. Just be glad you’re living your sheltered little life.
President Johnson:
USA didn’t invent capitalist system. And also no, i don’t like the communist system, I prefer the capitalist one, but seriously, USA has nothing to do with it.
I can’t see anyone mocking Germany 😉
I’m half German. Why would I mock my fatherland?
Damn I bought this hoping it would be vita tv compatible too. Well if it is truly unpatchable then it is worth having.
the ninja release didn’t say anything about this game not being available for vita tv. wish I had known before I spent my money.
The vitatv warns you about it. Unless you ignored the message, you should have seen it.
I was using 3.01 cfw with 101 megamix then updated i think this is just a waste of time and money once they update the firmware like on 3.01 u cant even use online features which is like the best feature to have for the vita now im playing borderlands, killzone online and it outweighs free psp games anyday, but if this was a cfw with vita os then it will be the greatest thing ever lol
Implying piracy is the sole reason for cfw
Psp is like $50 used btw
I have a question if I create my account in Jo so my money will be there I had my money in my USA account doe my money transfer my money to jp account?
No. If I understood you correctly, you need to buy a PSN code through a service such as play-asia. US codes will not work, nor will a Credit Card with a US address.
Jp psn code is more expensive than US psn…… So good luck to all of you …… Not need it anymore if you already have it :)…….
-still on FW 3.01 Numblast
Now there’s only the need for a new unpatchable full nand exploit.
Impossible.
Uh. It’s not “impossible”…
Are you sure about what are you saying?…
lel :v
I highly appreciate the dedication and hard work that such people as yourselves put into this scene.
Hey, so I want to know something first.
So I have 2 vita SD cards. Both of them already ran the same PSN account. If I use the other Vita SD card that I don’t need, will it also update my other SD card? Because I want to keep using my 3.05 TN-V8 if I screw things up.
I guess you mean 3.01
You’ll need to activate the Vita with the Account on PSN to run PSN downloaded games somehow.
You’ll need to use the PS3 OpenCMA trick (see: Lower Firmware For Dummies)
Still waiting for a proper TN-V rather than VBHL. I’ll pass and keep my eyes open.
Remind that this one is a exploit that can’t be easily patched, this means, it may work on future FW versions (3.15+) This being said, if there’s a new public kxploit, it can be ported to this game’s exploit.
So, for example: users who bought Pawapuro have a exploit that may work forever and can use both TN-V and VHBL. This game (MyStylist) has possibly the same ‘advantage’ over other games.
To those HAckers out there like 173210 and others i do apperciate what you have done to the PS vita scene by getting exploits to work on PSP mini titles so we can enjoy VHBL and HBL but i think the hackers in my opinion should come out of their shell and truly start hacking the PS vita so we can all enjoy PS vita game we have waited too long for it to be fully hacked i not supporting piracy but the ps vita games for other people could be too expensive to buy thus a full hack is needed to play PS vita games CMON hackers you can do these work together to FULLY HACK the ps vita.
So.. You’re basically asking for them to fully hack Vita for you to,play pirated games…
Well you should call it Pirated games more like CFW like what we had for the PSP…but the hackers need to FULLY hack the ps vita so that we can see how powerful the vita really is and we are tired of playing with PSP games we want the VITA Games to be played for free.
Nope, you’re the one who wants pirated content.
Seriously, if you can’t buy games for a console, why did you even bought it on the first place?
stupid pirate.:p
Most people would love to see the Vita side hacked for pirated games, i agree. I would love that side hacked so i utilise that power to finally have a working N64 emulator with sound and at least 25fps. And maybe even GameCube. Although i can’t remember what architecture it is. PS2 would be awesome but that is almost impossible to do perfectly.
But after doing some research i can see how difficult it is. My Vita is currently on OFW 3.01 and tempted to just update to 3.15. But yeah our fellow hackers are doing really well with the PSP side of the Vita but we have a long way to go. Thank you hackers for bringing us more than just what these consoles are designed for.
Hellow all!!! Please ask me an exploitable game for OFW 3.15 and downloading link to my PM (http://vk.com/id9446877). Thanks!!!
I guess there’s no way to get this on a Vita if your PSN account is banned, huh. JP PSN got me a few weeks ago for custom firmware on my PS3, apparently. I was also using the account on my Vita…
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation however I to find this
topic to be really one thing which I feel I would never understand.
It sort of feels too complicated and very broad for me.
I am looking ahead in your subsequent post, I will try
to get the cling of it!
