    3.18 z.h.p. that’s interesting but not mentioned lol

    • JCK07115 says:

      Yeah, I was just mentioning that in my comment below. Although, on the wololo FB page, someone mentioned it but said it was for EU alone. My Vita is currently dysfunctional but I could have at least purchased it from the desktop PS Store had I known that it was also available to US PS users and then downloaded it to my Vita upon fixing it. It’s somewhat annoying that there was no news about it here on wololo.net/ The only other place I heard of it was the psx-scene.

      • Conjo says:

        I don’t think you would be able to download the game on your Vita now that sony listed the game as not downloadable/buy-able

    • Conjo says:

      I don’t think it’s worth mentioning it right now since it can’t be downloaded nor bought.

      • decookaaron says:

        Actually after you buy it you can still download it cause I have done this. I bought the game then deleted it and redownloaded it after removal. But in the U.S. they have to let you redownload it as you purchase the software and they can’t just up and remove it so you can’t redownload it anymore. That would lead to legal issues with thousands in america. My uncle is a Lawyer of 20yrs and he’s the one that told me this.

      • JCK07115 says:

        We (Patches and I) are not referring to the fact that Sony eventually lists any exploitable game as “not downloadable/buy-able,” but that there was no news of the exploit here on wololo.net/ I understand Wololo was on holiday and he alone has publishing authorization but I feel he should give a select few, that are trusted, publishing privileges. It would have sucked if this was a kexploit and most people didn’t get wind of it before Sony removed the game from the PS Store.

  3. JCK07115 says:

    Heck, I was unaware that the Z.H.P. exploit was also available to NA PSN users. I thought it was restricted to the EU region. Was there any article on wololo informing forum users of the new VHBL exploit? And if there wasn’t, well, then that kind of sucks because this is meant to be a repository for console hacking. I would have loved to get the game while it was in the PS Store.

  5. Tenebrae says:

    Will they release the method to enable TN-V for the exploited 3.18 game we bought, ZHP?

    • ss4gogeta069 says:

      I’m sure they will eventually but don’t expect it anytime soon. I’m honestly figuring it will be a Christmas present. We will, however, get the VHBL file for it as soon as they get it working good.

    • JCK07115 says:

      I don’t think Z.H.P. is a kexploit, I think only usermode exploits can be accessed via Z.H.P. But then again, a usermode exploit can be used to trigger a kernel exploit. We will know more soon.

    • JCK07115 says:

      Yes, check the list above. Z.H.P. is listed as having only VHBL and not eCFW privileges.

  6. S1NFUL says:

    The kernel exploit is still working 🙂

  7. jlo138 says:

    That icon they changed. The center line isn’t even the same thickness as the outer line making it look weird to me. Could of just extended the original one out to the circle and rotated it. Guess they were more focused on fixing the exploits.

  8. dzh says:

    it updates to 3.18,but it haven’t anything to changed except to a logo.
    so ,sony make a joke about system uptade.

  9. Jefphar says:

    Don’t be discourage it is just the start exploit and hacks are just around the corner for 3.18 firmware

  10. Yukon says:

    Where were they when the exploit was announced?! I waited for them to announce the game to see if this site had its own exploit game that was below $10 cause I am not spending that much for a VHBL only exploit. And why no Ninja release?!? A different site that mostly talks about consoles other than the PS Vita is the one to notify everybody. Fck it, Destiny is near.

    • Dockotis says:

      Yukon Translated:

      I’m annoyed for lack of Ninja Release from this.site, Sony is not doing *** in favor of consumers, including features and more physical games, including AAA games. Modern smartphones get more support. I’m selling my Vita to purchase one. The support also means more great games. F*ck everything owned by Sony, and what they stand for.

      …I usderstand and agree with most of what he is saying…

      • Yukon says:

        This is the calm version, lol. I’m still selling my Vita, cause I have no use for it. I’m always on my Xbone or 360, so my vita rarely gets any gameplay.

        • JCK07115 says:

          I was so annoyed as well. No wind of the Z.H.P. exploit until ofcourse, Sony removed it from the PS Store or listed it as “not downloadable” which does the exact same thing as removing it from the PS Store. If it was a kexploit, I would have been raging.

        • JCK07115 says:

          BTW, where are you seeling your Vita? Provide a link, I will check it out and maybe refer someone to it. Also, add me as a friend on the wololo.net/ forum.

        • Yukon says:

          I didn’t put it online, yet. It’s a customized Vita that I done myself (Opened). The faceplate is black and the buttons are white, including the touchpad. The games I have are Killzone, NFL 13, and Assassins Creed. I’m selling it for $160 cause the system has *** games anyway. The money will be going to a 12 month Xbox Live Subscription and the rest is going in the bank.

        • JCK07115 says:

          Can you please send me a PM from the wololo.net/ forum upon posting it? I use the same username. By the way, what auction site are you using, ebay or another?

        • Yukon says:

          I’ll hit you up when I post it. I get apid tomorrow, so it may be then. I’ll PM you pictures of it and giv you the link tomorow or when ever I put it up on Ebay.

        • JCK07115 says:

          What did you mean by “apid” in your previous comment? Did you mean to write “paid?” And if you did, how are you sure you are getting paid tomorrow? Isn’t it going to be an auction or are you planning a buy-it-now sale on eBay?

        • Yukon says:

          Yea, I meant ‘paid’. Its gonna go for $160, buy it now. I need to go ahead and do it, you wont think I’m just talkin’. I’ll give you the link as soon as I put it up. I just took some shots of it as well with an 8 Mega Pixel camera

          P.S. Sorry for the mistakes. I use a phone to text.

  11. Vincenzo says:

    Remembering about how Sony treated the Vita at the last E3, I think This console’ll never see a rise up in its commercial life.
    These system update are dull like the care Sony have for its customers

  12. Lord Darton Staker says:

    Waiting for the release of them 3.15 Kernel Mode update/Change from VHBL to full on Kernel ISO support.- might actually look at getting myself a second Vita just for these exploits.

  13. Yukon says:

    It’s like we’re trapped in the house of Sony being tortured with the lack of good games (abused), and everytime we try to leave, they ‘patch’ up the doors until we can find another way out. (exploit)

    • Sky Yuki says:

      That^
      But i have no interest in VHBL or Kernel exploit
      I was just waiting for native vita exploit
      So that door was never ever opened for me

      • JCK07115 says:

        Hahaha, this is such a nice pun thread. You were lucky you didn’t enter the house, Sky Yuki although you are still in the bigger Sony manor because you use their products hehe 😉

  14. MIKE says:

    It wasn’t an useless firmware update in my case, i had a weird bug that made my left analog stick not work till i played with the pad for some time, it was pretty strange now it works all the tine , tnx sony

    • Yukon says:

      You’re talking positive, get out….get get!!

      • MIKE says:

        lel , man i swear that *** bug got fixed , still ill wait for the next TNv and will never update after that

        • Diag says:

          oh thats good news for you.. i´ve got 2 vitas (yes i love my vita and the 3rd party japanese games), where my first vita (with “100-in-1” exploit and tn-v) has the same probleme since a long time. my left stick often (not always but very often) controls to the left automatic, which is very annoying 🙁 if there will appear a new kexploit in the future i will do the same as you. my second vita is for newest fw and perfect working controls 😀

          • MIKE says:

            what a coincidence i also had the TN-V 100-in-1″ exploit and had that proble, looks like we found a bugg 😀

  15. Paul says:

    Just updated to 3.18 so I’m guessing that of I downloaded any of the games on the above list, I wouldn’t be able to install any cfw?

  16. aa says:

    when will you release tn-v exploit game for ps vita

  17. Thomas says:

    Hi guys, Im new to this cfw scene, as I have just bought my vita today and i updated it to 3.18, so does that mean its impossible for me to install any tn-v cfws?

    Someone please answer my question and help me as I dont have a clue at all.
