Upcoming VHBL release for the latest PS Vita firmware
Good news everyone!
Developer Qwikrazor87 (famous for being involved in pretty much every single Vita hack release over the past years) contacted me today to announce that he has a new exploit available, with a VHBL port ready for it.
Now, this is just fresh and I got the information only a few hours ago, we still need to confirm in what locales the exploitable game is available, test homebrew compatibility, etc… Once things are ironed out, we’ll do a proper ninja release, then a public announcement, as usual.
Obligatory disclaimer required here: VHBL is a user mode loader for PSP homebrews. It does not allow you to run PSP isos, let alone Vita pirated games. However, the exploit attached to it might be useful in the future for any potential PSP Kernel exploit triggered within the PSP emulator on the Vita (which would allow to run higher level tools such as TN-V).
That’s it for now, stay tuned as progress gets made on this.

Ah, one last thing. The game used for this vulnerability will be…surprising 🙂




The only thing that will surprise me is if it’s a vita game.
;-;
0% chance at that. I guess unpatchable psp game should be good.
There’s no such thing.
Better go charge my wallet 😀 I really hope in a surprising kernel release too
F^%%^ all these homebrew exploits
find a way to hack it so we can play vita games.people should focus on that instead of old homebrew games
Yes, thanks so much for volunteering! Please do it and report on your success asap.
Yep, and besides that, I’ve already managed it in the past to play Vita games on my PS Vita. o.O
Are you a magician?
Ecfw is much better in my opinion cuz psp iso and ps1 games but ill settle for this and keep tugging my psp 2000 around some more-great progress nevertheless
It would b a surprise if the game is Numblast lol
😉
OK a smiley says more than a thousand words… it is indeed numblast 🙂
Lulz, maybe? Maybe not 🙂
will it instaboot like numblast or do you have to load the save in the menu
i think its uno
No insta boots for the public anymore.
Those are too rare and precious, sorry.
And TN-V ;_; ?
wow internet is full of jerks and ungrateful bastards…
it’s the patapon 2 demo 😛
That would be too easy.
And the PS Vita can not download PSP demos anymore 🙁
No “free” game exploits 🙁
Oh I know, just a dumb little joke for wololo considering the history of the demo 😛
The demo was legendary, though.
Good old times 🙂
YAY just happy hearing this. Just Updated cuz i wanted to DL Sword Art Online ^^ and lost my exploited game ^^
I’m pretty keen for that game to. Not keen enough to lose my kernel exploit of Ben 10 tho :p
You can download the game without updating. There’s a tutorial for it in this web, actually.
Unless you actually require the firmware to play the game, of course.
It requires 3.12 to play 🙁
Love you
Haha excellent. Updating tomorrow for Disgaea 4. Shame to lose Tn-v though :/
And this is why I love this community. I love you all
What will be surprising is if its a Barbie game i never knew that was on PSN LOL
I assume that by surprising, this may be a game that was already patched, and therefore had a previous exploit prior to this one.
Hopefully this one will be available this time for US too, previous VHBL (Z.H.P.) was pretty expensive in comparison to EU’s Skate Park City.
is this mean it can be ported to kernel mode?
I’m hoping this will be released by next week, when my vita arrives 🙁
So is this going to have good compatibility for emulators? The reason I ask is the ZHP one didn’t really run anything except for the VHBL menu the last time I looked
Fngrz crossed for US region and less than $10. Needs me sum Bookr and Psp Comi… for Star Wars, of coruse!
Z.H.P exploit, VHBL nothing?
don’t tell me it’s MHP3rd
qwik
when he finds exploits he is super quick
And i have to say,he is so sick!
OHHHHHHHHH
i think i know what this is,but i dont wanna spoil it
What about Z.H.P. ?
What is a ninja realese please?
How to get ninja release? I’m new on vita
It’ll be in the forums. Don’t worry if you can’t see it. A public announcement will be made. Keep an eye on the front page here but don’t wait too long to get the game from PSN after you see it. Once it goes public it gets pulled within a day or two
I wish the game had k vulnerability was free or was the demo of loco roco
Seriously?
Question, any HB over FW 3.01 doesn’t have as much available RAM right? I guess what I’m asking is, IF TN-V were available the lastest firmware would it be as good as TN-V for FW3.01?
The ram diference it’s almost worthless, it only matters in a few emulators and the diference it’s almost non noticeable. If I remember well the only ones you’re gonna have a little less performance are the daedalus (N64 emu) and the cpsp2 (capcom’s arcade second motherboard) and one homebrew game (I don’t remember the name but it’s no so popular).
Since both emulators runs very very flawesly normally (it’s not for the ram, it’s for the cpu and the clock frecuency) the diference between 32 and 64 megas of ram it’s almost not noticeable, so dont worry.
wololo as I can do to be the first to receive the news ninja? please do not want to miss it this time as I have money in my account USA
Same here and this will be my first PS vita exploit and I’m so excited.
sweet
Ehr Mer Gerd, cant believe another exploit is in the makings. Just hope that i can grab the game before Sony catches on.
I hope this one actually works I should of never bought z.h.p. actually I should of kept the 3.01 persona2 and never updated
Hopefully, It’ll be a game on sale or something
YES!!

wololo…aiyoo…aiyoo…aiyoo lol
And everyone that was and still is in the PSP and PS Vita, one way or another, which includes everyone reading this comment, I love you guys.
So, I should probably update to 3.18 right? (I kept 3.15 just in case there was a release for it…)
Well, 3.15 isn’t the latest firmware so even if there is a release for it, which won’t make much sense because you won’t be able to get it from the PS Store, you won’t be able to get it from the PS Store. I hope you understand my redundancy there.
how effective are ninja releases? does it have any impact on how long the game stays on PSN
don’t they have informants or sslk?
Hopefully it will be on a Friday because from what I’ve noticed they won’t pull it on a weekend
yeah, that can buy us some time.
but won’t they know which game it is when the ninja hits?
Ninja releases are very effective, we have streamlined the process over the years
Ninja releases
When a game that can run VHBL or TN-V it’s released without a ninja release it’s normally deleted within 48 hours from the release (sometimes within 24 hours :S ) but with a ninja release it takes almost 1 week so yes it’s very effective if you ask me.
if a kernel exploit is released, will it be released with an exploit game aswell?
If, yes.
I’ve been a member of the /talk forums for a bit now, but am still unsure as to where Ninja Releases are posted. Are there any particular requirements? Should I even be asking?
When you log in to /talk forums you will see a banner indicating the released game( if you are trusted and your number comes up before the public release) and then you can download it. As always if you are part of the release please keep the game name to yourself. No blabbering to your best friend who will post it on Facebook or some other *** place:-)
What number?
figure of speech. They’ll make it available to their top guys first, then another group a little later, then another group, then another…..etc until it goes public for everyone
Testing
wololo z.h.p. is a no go then?? i dont regret buying the game looks pretty tight…thank you
