    Hope you had a nice time away Wololo. Hope eCFW will be availble for 3.18. That icon looks awesome. Might have to give up on 3.01!

    • ErnieBall says:

      would be totally worth it, just for the new icon!

      • gregar1000 says:

        New icon FTW. Thanks Sony! An icon of that magnitude deserves us all to upgrade. Off topic, but can SE really be that *** about FF-Type0? Damn…. I would keep playing, however I am not sure I can resist that new icon. Its too darn good.

    Hey wololo, first, I want to say that I hope you enjoyed your short break. Second, I would like to express my anger at the fact that the 3.18 Z.H.P. VHBL expoit became nullified due to Sony taking Zettai Hero Project off the PS Store BUT wololo.net/ didn’t publish any article regarding the exploit in the first place, because only you have the authorization to publish articles (which is a good idea but costly at times when you go on a break and there is hot news such as the Z.H.P. usermode exploit which is now old). Although, my anger is obviously pacified by the fact that there is a possibility that a working kexploit for OFWs 3.15 and higher (3.18) might be released in the near future (whenever that is). But still, I think you should give a select few people authorization privileges to publish articles, you can always view the articles that were published when you were on holiday and then express your disappointment if any of them fall below standards.

      Thanks for the feedback, I’ll think about this next time I leave.

      It’s not only me being away that caused trouble though. I was never made aware of the exploit, even though I was without internet for only 5 days. Ninja releases take at least 3 weeks. You do the math: I still have to gather all the elements, but I assume the dev had no intent of doing a ninja release in the first place.

      • JCK07115 says:

        Thanks for the response, Wololo, I appreciate it. I didn’t mean to sound harsh, if I did hehe ;). Also, about the math, here it is:
        It takes 3 weeks to plan and actualize a ninja release, typically. Even if you were informed right as you commenced your holiday and had no internet connection already, you would have 3 weeks and 6 days left before you could start any work in doing a ninja release; 6 days broken down into 5 days because of your holiday and 1 day which you would need to end your holiday and get back to an area with internet access and 3 weeks due to the actual time it takes to carry out a ninja release. So once again, I appreciate you and everyone else’s efforts in the PSP and PS Vita scene since ’06 (for you), maybe earlier (for anyone else) and later (for anyone else as well).

        It’s JCK07115 \o/

        • JCK07115 says:

          The above is theoretical and not actual as some real life factors may apply e.g. trying to push forward the release in hopes that no one foolishly gives it away for Sony to patch, Sony patching it blindly (which is highly improbable) and so on and so forth hehe

    • ErnieBall says:

      also it seems atm that not buying it (ZHP) was the better choice. This Video shows that there is another user mode exploit, that has much better compatibility. And i assume, that IF a kernel mode exploit gets released, the team will release a game to launch it aswell. Anyway, even though we got “warned” i regret buying the game allready.

      • drd7of14 says:

        At least it’s a fun game. Quite a lot of humor, despite it not being my favorite genre of play, NIS gets my vote for a game worth the purchase. $20 seems so expensive though, I would have thought it to have gone down by now. Oh well.

  6. Ps0n1BrX says:

    eCFW sure to work in 3.18, watch the signing of –The Z– in Wololo forum, the question is whether the public will release …

    Quick Question, If i do a ecploit for my vita, n an update comes out, can I still use apps like netflix, n that, n can i still get trophies for my PSN?
    Thanks

  12. 11770 says:

    anything that you need to connect to through psn wont work, you can get trophies, but they wont update on your psn status they’ll be local so if the data gets corrupted, you’ll lose trophies. i’m not sure how you connect to netflix with it tho
