Release: Total Noob’s TN-V9.5 eCFW is now available!
Just a few days after releasing his previous newest revision for his PS Vita eCFW, Total_Noob has released yet another smaller update, which enhances the PS1 capabilities even more.
It also adds an option to entirely disable the PS1 sound plugin (if a game runs better without sound than with) and there is now a new kind of “safe mode”.
The update can easily be downloaded via the ePSP XMBs network update feature, which then will install the TN-V9.5 eCFW at your PS Vita, as long as your firmware is 3.01 or below.
If you want to manually install the update, feel free to grab the package for the game you need from below.
Check out the changelog for more information about TN-V9.5:
* Added ‘Blue Screen Of Death’ technology.
** If your PS Vita crashes, this screen will appear and you can restart TN-V by pressing START.
** The crash information will be written to the savedata folder (exception.txt), so make sure that you copy the savedata from PS Vita -> PC and
report this crash.** With this enabled you don’t need to hard-reset your PS Vita anymore.
* Added possibility to disable PEOPS SPU plugin.
* Added ‘SPU update mode’ and ‘SPU thread priority’ options. Play with these options and maybe your PS1 game will run more fluid.
* Fixed ‘white noise’ in some PS1 games -> enhanced PS1 compatibility.

Who needs TN if people don’t have exploitable game. Most of people are on 3.15 and can run new TN. Its so pitty.
if you look into the talk forums, you’ll see that this is not true at all …
this whole stupid vhbl thing is gonna be like a lowend, pathetic struggle to nowhere
3.15 anyone? maybe we should hack back our vita to a gameboy color firmware, cause the next BIG THING gonna support only that and a little gamegear 0.98 AND below
“Bwaaa, I’m too lazy and too stupid to find my own exploits and I hate that no native exploit is available for the Vita, so instead of taking the matter into my own hands, I’ll complain about the only people who actually release stuff for the scene.”
I hear you on that wololo, and I raise you one:
“ERMAHGERD! I WERNT NERTERV VERTA EXPLERT! I GERNNA BETCH ABERT NERT HERVIN NERTERV VERTA EXPLERT! I CERNT DERR IT MERSERLF!”
translation: “Oh my God! I want native Vita exploit! I’m gonna b*tch about not having native vita exploit! I can’t do it myself!”
This is my version of what I am hearing from people…
“yeerrghaaeeh, aym the neixt ernuld schwerzeneiggeier soa clavar dammn gud buernt d0wn my vheeta to 1,28 fermwar afteir hakk inda psSt0reii aploudd the PIKU PIKU CHIRIMON 2 geime d0nnlaudd itt enstilll the VHBL noww aym fain soouuuuuu faiiin”
How does one even go about that? I’m interested in trying it out.
I make only a PS Vita update when comes a new exploit.
So for people like me, is the update.
Thanks a lot.
i have vhbl. but it cant run iso…. so i deleted the game…….
@andy, that’s the dumbest thing you could have done, kxploits can always be backported to previous vhbl exploits, now you have no entry point into the system
Waaaahhhhh If I do not have it no one should. A lot of u act like spoiled toddlers. Grow up and find your own exploit or shut the heck up and wait for a new one to come out. There have been many many releases you did not get one then tough luck.
how to find own exploit?
Search through the forum
I just wanna say: I picked up a used ps vita for 79.99 (same price as 32gb memory stick).
I keep my old one on the current firmware to take advantage of ps+ and I use the new one to take advantage of eCFW.
I recommend you have a look for a good deal. Thanks to TN and the staff here for helping us acquire homebrew!
You Sir, are a ***.
What a ***
I agree, but of course the visible minority here will of course disagree. Nonetheless, we’re all vita users here and it’d be BEST for all of us if progress was made on exploiting the newer firmwares, lest the community cater to one population and shrivel up content with their own.
Cause most TN users stayed on 3.01
The Legend of Dragoon is playable, praise the Noob!
Yeah 😀
Why The legend of dragoon doesn’t work with sound for me ? :/
Which options you choosed to play it with sound?
i’m using the 101 megamix exploit, and the PSN version of the game
All settings “fastest”. SPU thread priority: Lowest.
we need it on 3.15.
Seconded.
i have back-up all firmware version lucky.
I have a question: how do i run the CD 2 of The legend of dragoon on ps vita Tn-V 9 please 😀 (my favorite game finally with sound on vita <3 )
It works but i encounter some lags in the ps1 plugin sounds.. I’m currently playing Resident Evil 2.. The game slows down like a choppy signal in cellphone.. Is there a way to enhance this problem?
hello,
how to install and play resident evil 2?
I downloaded eboot but did not work.
how to do?
thank you gpodgl@hotmail.com
just dont update and wait 4 ninja release.
GJ The Z
Please tell me: When release the 3.15 exploit game??? Thank you!
One thing for better and smooth playing. Buy a PSP hehehe… Atleast PSP can play every emulator smoothly :3 Just saying.. Not to mention all unite of PSP is hackable now
Thanks captain obvious.
hmm.. i will wait for more enhanced ps1 compatibility.. i think this can improve more..
It’s like TN heard my problems and answered my prayers!
TN is always pushing updates. I’m still on 3.15 due to the fact I use my 32gb PSP go for ps1 and homebrew lol. Nothing but respect for this guy though.
I love this man. That is all.
I love it that Total_Noob, wololo and the whole community is releasing this for normal people, like me, to play my beloved GBA and PS1 games I used to play when I was little. Thanks alot! <3
So do we have to convert PSX eboots to work with the pluggin?
No conversion needed. I wasn’t sure about that at first either. It sounded like that was the case from the original announcement of TN’s return and PS1, but I think something was just lost in translation.
When Total Noobs allowed install huge iso files like Uncharted Golden Abyss or Metal Gear Solid HD collection in the PSVITA?
When those become PSP games?
they just trying to say we can use TN-V 9.5 for older exploits ,in word saying they use it on 3.15 😀 but only Private not Public Simple as that when new firmware comes out after 3.15 they will give away the old ish exploit to public and they will use another one they found exploitable for new firmware and there is the circle 😀 anyway all good working perfectlly 😀
Oh my God! Why you people lost your time writing nonsense here? Like wololo said go find your own exploit there are a looooot of tutorial for do it yourself.
There’s no need of pushing people like wololo and total_noob (obviously all the people on the scene, i love you guys) for a release on previous firmware. Plus ecfw in not made for let you crybaby play ISOS on psvita. Want a game? Buy it like ALL of us. Do you think the guys searching for exploit don’t have to buy the game on psn?
God! Maybe you stay better with nds and an r4…
Thanks total noob!
>Do you think the guys searching for exploit don’t have to buy the game on psn?
No, you use a hacked psp in order to search for the exploit. Nab.
First, several hackers make the ethical choice of actually buying all the games they try exploits on. Secondly, when comes the last step of actually porting the exploit to the Vita and testing it, they have no choice but to buy it. So, yeah, they have to buy it, in general.
Obviously you have to buy it to actually test it on the Vita, but buying every single game you try the exploit on is nuts. I hope they feel holier doing so at least.
Awesome! Thanks a ton for this, hated having to hard reset my Vita when it’d crash out on me
hi, newbie here. could someone please tell me how i can get an snes emulator installed in my ps vita slim? firmware is currently 3.15.
from what i’ve read and understood.. my only option is vhbl and to wait for another game to be exploited? or will ecfw’s work too, once they get it to be compatible with 3.15? thank you
There’s no way to run eCFWs on 3.15+ (publicly anyway) but vHBL should be more than good enough for emulators.
You’d need to wait for another exploit game to be announced (either here on the blog or on the forums if you are a member) then grab it from PSN before Sony pulls it from the store.
Then back it up to you computer using OpenCMA. Then copy the game’s folders to a secondary location if you can spare the room. (Seriously, don’t ever forget this).
Then get the special save file for it and the vHBL files. There should be instructions in a blog post with the new save files for whatever game is announced next. Install the emulator and ROMs and play. (You supply your own ROMs)
NEVER UPDATE the console. It /will/ fix the exploit game and you will lose vHBL access. You will however lose access to PSN until you do update so make sure it’s worth it to you.
If/When a new kernel exploit is released to the public you’d just need to wait for the updated version of whatever eCFW is in development at the moment and add it to the game’s save folder.
Disclaimer: I wrote this very quickly so it may have errors, spelling or content-wise. It should me at least mostly correct though.
*It should be
thank you!
No problem, dude.
I have a the psp cfw on my vita but regardless I have to say the work that has been done seems really professional and it has to be applauded!
I have the new*
Thank you very much for your continued work and further updates! All of the psx games I am currently playing are working quite well with just minor sound problems. This is a very big step from NO sound at all! Thank you.
Btw I can’t wait for the ftp transfer to come back because it worked perfectly fine for me and was a good solution to getting files of my laptop and/or iPad
Just use the Vita FTP homebrew for your FTP needs, it’s available here on wololo.net and is no where near as buggy as the in XMB FTP. I don’t think I’ve ever had an issue with it.
Gracias total Noob por hacer mi vita impresionante
Awesome. Sony keeps making the PS Vita worse, the community keeps making it better.
“It also adds an option to entirely disable the PS1 sound plugin” THANK YOU. I was hoping this would be added as the sound has dramatically decreased performance in almost all ps1 games.
Are you using PSN downloads or converted EBOOTs? I haven’t tried anything but PSN downloads and they seem fine.
