Prepare yourself: TN-V is coming to Firmware 3.18 via Gladiator Begins & Z.H.P.!
While we have already told you, that a new kernel mode exploit for the PS Vitas PSPemulator has just been released, we did not tell you, that this will definitely allow the execution of the TN-V eCFW for the PS Vita at Firmwares up to 3.18 in near future!
Japanese Developer 173210 said, that he is currently working on porting TN-V to the Firmware 3.18 Z.H.P. – Zettai Hero Project exploit, which will enable you to run TN-V at your PS Vita, as long as you have an exploit game.
If you do not have an exploit game right now, keep reading…
Since people like proof, have a video of TN-V running at firmware 3.18.
Usually a kernel mode release would happen via a ninja release, so most people can get it, but this time it is a bit different.
This one was pretty much a ‘forced release’, since ‘a lot’ of people got access to this private kernel mode exploit, and most of the people were unauthorized.
It is sad that people can not keep their mouths shut about this, and that they share the work of others with 3rd parties.
Usually we would have released a new kernel mode exploit for the very next major firmware, e.g. 3.30, and bundled it with a new usermode exploit game, but I’ve already told you that it is different this time.
If you do not have an exploit game right now, then be sure to grab the PSP game ‘Gladiator Begins‘. It is 10,99€/7,99$ in the PSN Stores and won’t be available for too long!
If you miss this chance, or if the game is not available in your Region, then simply stay tuned, don’t update your firmware higher than 3.18, because we are going to release a new excellent VHBL exploit game for the firmware 3.30 (after its release).
The firmware 3.30 exploit game will work at firmware 3.18, and it will be able to run TN-V at firmware 3.18, but not 3.30.
The new game will be able to run VHBL at 3.30, but not TN-V, since Sony will now, most likely, fix TN-V in firmware 3.30.
It sounds a bit dumb to release it now, but this is qwikrazor87’s very own work and therefore his very own decision. Take what you can get and use this kernel mode exploit up to firmware 3.18!
The file release should be pretty soon, so stay tuned!

*** it feels good to be back on the network, lets take a moment to catch up on things before the timer runs out for 3.30. =(
Cuanto tiempo estara disponible ? Yo mañana lo comprare 🙂
So I am in the recovery menu and when trying to install 6.60 files, I get an error. Does that mean I wait for other files?
A stupid question here, so I have TN-V on firm 3.01, using the persona game, but it´s huge, and I was trying to transfer the numblast game to my ps vita using my ps3, but it doesnñt work, it{s still possible or I{m doing something wrong???
Hello,
First thanks for the good work! I have some questions as I am a bit confused with how homebrews are stored on he PS Vita with TN-V. I am currently using the kexploit 101 in 1 Megamix on firmware 3.01. If I just update to 3.18 and buy Gladiator Begins and install TN-V through it, will I be able to retrieve all the homebrews I have already installed or do I have to properly desinstall them on 3.01 and reinstall them with the new exploit?
I have realized psn USA I can download it for exploid?
Hi
Are there some how to on the steps to get it working.
What are all the steps to get a psp game runing ?
what is the 660.PBP?
in the download section the 660 download is a EBOOT.PBP. Should I rename it?
thanks
all right.
I follow the steps of this page:
http://wololo.net/2013/12/17/release-tn-v4-for-ps-vita-3-01-and-below/
Neither game on AU store 🙁 , just an FYI for other AU Vita Users
Hey thanks a lot, I’m playing Valkyria Chronicles II now ;D
I want to know if is it possible to map L R CROSS TRIANGLE to the right stick/analog? I know holding PS Button then settings allow me to map right stick/analog? but only L R or any other but not the settings I want.
Any update if there is a ZHP release for tv yet? I only see the other new 3x plot listed for 3.18 in the comments.
Si
Can somebody help me please? Im new in the scene of psvita. I use the gladiator begins exploit and it work, but i dont know how to play my PSP ISO and CSO BACKUPS and Homebrews and PS1 Games , Thank your help
Just add a ISO to your exploit save data, with short name and all capitalized, example GAME1.ISO then go to Games->Memory
Thought about it. But I’m happy at 3.01 for now maybe if some useful features are added in the next major update
Got it, ready and waiting. Cant wait to get the Emulators back up on my Vita 😀
This Run ISO’s PSP?
Not that we condone piracy (unless you have backed up your own PSP games via a UMD dump…but lets face it, most dont -_-) I think the answer is, Yes. You should be able to run PSP ISO’s via TN-V.
But don’t quote me on this, im not a Dev (though I am an ex-programmer and certified to do so) so dont take my word as gospel lol.
The eCFW emulates the PSP so yes, it will run ISOs, referring to your own ISOs; as Stiffeno said piracy is not condoned. It will also run emulators and homebrew and that is why kexploits are considered greater than usermode exploits. That is to say, it is advisable to remain on 3.18/3.15 and enjoy the eCFW (TN-V) than to have only VHBL on 3.30.
But it sucks that the kexploit was released on this firmware, it would have been sweet to have TN-V on the soon-to-be latest firmware. That way, you are connected to the Store, to your PSN friends, you enjoy your PSP isos, your gameboy emulators, other emulators, homebrew, dang!
Hopefully, another kexploit is found for 3.30.
does anyone has issue installing ? i got a blue screen and gave me C1-2858-3 error
Same.
You have to hold R-Trigger when pressing X on Item Box 😉
tried 🙁 but i have to press o instead of x . does this affect ? i have tried so many times but i still cant get it to work :/
Did you put the 6.60 firmware files into the savegame folder? If not download them and rename the file to 660.pbp and try again.
yup did that alr
Got and waiting.
aww, i wasn’t emailed this time ;_; I check daily but still, makes me sad.
They couldnt do a ninja release this time become some untrustworthy people leaked the name of the game to people they shouldnt have…and chances are that at least ONE of them told Sony about it, just to cause drama (its sick i know, but thats how SOME human brains work…as sad as that is lol).
In short, too many ppl already knew the game, so they released directly to public straight away to give as many ppl as possible a chance at getting Gladiator Begins!
Hey Stiffeno, did you get Gladiator Begins or are you waiting for the ninja release for 3.30?
People read the post all the way through and you’ll see that the z has said to look at the read me/instructions text file included with the save data. Which clearly tells you how to activate ecfw for gladiator begins. Put some effort into it .
Could anybody sent me the link of pkg installer to darkstormud@gmail.com appreciate that!
I apologise in advance for being stupid and all, but what exactly I must do after I’ve bought the Gladiator Begins game and downloaded it? How do I install the TN-V and upload PSP games to my Vita?
I mean, is there any kind of manual?
Rather than send you to a link that has another link to a link… Add the 660.PBP file to the folder (find it by searching tn-v 660.PBP) and copy the entire directory to to the Content Manager savegame folder. Open Gladiator Begins and choose load. Select the savegame and then hold down the right trigger while pressing X on whichever menu item it said to in the instructions that came with your save (In case they are different by region). This should take you to a text menu. Let go of the right trigger and go to advanced. Choose install 6.60 files. After it is done, go back and choose exit. On future loads, you will not longer need to hold down the trigger or install the files.
Thanks, but when I load the save and go to item menu to trigger setup, screen turns green for a little bit and then blue. After that error message pops up.
this happens to me too 🙁
sorry got it working now
@mingmong, rather than say sorry, why don’t you tell Gargg exactly what you did to get yours working? Come on people, this is the scene, SHARE INFORMATION, don’t keep it from others.
@Gargg, make sure you named the file correctly, it should be 660.PBP. Personally, I am waiting for the ninja release because it has a better compatibility according to the mods so I haven’t tried loading TN-V yet. Although this isn’t my first kexploit experience, I can’t say precisely what problem you are facing. Hopefully, mingmong reads this thread again.
I got the exploit working but how come i have to go thru the steps of loading it first and holding r button to get to the homebrew?!? Doesnt it suppose to show up as soon as the game boots up?
How come i have to go thru the whole operation of loading up the save file and triggering the exploit? The last hack which included numblast would trigger the exploit as soon as u boot the game? But this one doesnt?
The instructions–from the downloads–are just so confusing, I’m assuming you; Download the game first, transfer to the pc, then move the files, download the exploit, then add the 660.PBP file into the specific folder, then move the exploit–along with the 660.PBP in the exploit folder–into the game folder, then transfer to the vita, then load up the game?
Is that the process that it’s telling me to do? Because somehow it seems a bit different than the process that you’re describing which seems a lot simpler and less of a hassle–personally…
Also since this is the latest patch/firmware then I’m guessing our online capabilities ie. PSN store, friends, and trophies will remain intact?
I’m quite new at this so I just had some questions… We need the vita software pre-installed on our pc to transfer the files to our vita first right? Also since were on the latest firmware will we still be able to go online?
Despite having Z.H.P. already, I went ahead and got Gladiator Begins for the file size. I can’t thank you guys enough!! TN-V is better than I thought!
We put more effort and attention in trying to keep alive the Vita than Sony
Hahaha you’re so right!!! TOO right LOL.
Went to EBGames today (to get another mem card for my newly created US PSN Store account…as im an Aussie) and they had like 15 games, and thats it LOL. No carry cases, no screen protectors, nothing….which is sad =/!
If it wasnt for the fact that the Vita is selling like hotc…err rather Vita’s lol, Sony would probably have killed off the Vita already! Thank god for the Japs haha (and the rest of you that buy Vita stuffs).
I am just going to wait for the game for 3.30, I will use it on my 3.18 vita since it has been emphasized that its compatibility is exceptional on 3.18. It really sucks though that it might take another long period of time, whatever the value of that time is, to get a kexploit for 3.30 with the threat of all the other private exploits being released as well.
If im from israel, what version of cheats should i download? EU Version or US Version?
sad
Cant find the the game on the Australian or EURO store FFS!!!!!
10,99 euro as 7,99$ ***… i prefer 7,99$ for 7,99euro but here it’s stealing us.
when i try installing 6.60 files i get this message 6.60 files…error opening 660.pbp (0x80010002) what am i doing wrong
It is 660.PBP not 6.60.PBP
I guess you didn’t even put the files into the savegame?! You have to download OFW 6.60 (http://zload.net/v2/archives/file/?id=1660) rename it’s EBOOT.PBP to 660.PBP and put it in the exploit savegame.
UPDATE:
Woohoo just managed to purchase Gladiator Begins from the US Store :D!
Earlier today i bought a used 8gb Vita memory card from EBGames to use with a different region store account, man has it come in handy LOL. I almost wasnt gunna buy it today seeing as the exploit was postponed to v3.30.
I created a US account the other day and used the guide on this site for restoring a Vita to use with a different region. Got it all up and running but the US PS Store wouldnt accept my Aussie MasterCard…so I went on Amazon (for the first time), added a $10 PSN card to cart and went to checkout, then just put in my CC details (with a made up US address haha) and bobs ya uncle, got eMailed me US PSN $10 card core =D!!!
At first Amazon gave me an error about my Aussie address but fixed that up with a nice Houston, Texas addy….NASA Spacestation address bahahaha! And it worked 😛
ETA on Glad Begins, T-Minus 10mins (153mb in ^_^)
Even though ive got crappy internet speeds due to being 5.5km away from my ISP exchange >.<, its ok because the game is only like 340mb or something!
OK i have paid and downloaded gladiator begins( stupid game though). Where is the exploit for it. (Sorry if i am missing some information here)
Is this the link to the exploited game save (http://zload.net/v2/archives/file/?id=2417905), do I even need one for a kernel exploit. Thanks.
For the EU Gladiators Begin exploit for 3.18
wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i download this game ………………….. sonny not remove yet
You and me were lucky mate :D, gratz too!
While I did have to go through a heck of hassle to get the game via a US PS Store account (my main Account is Australian and I couldnt find the game on the Aussie store), it was def worth the effort!
Its good in a way that I got it via the American PlayStation store coz its cheaper there haha! 10,99 Euro compared to 7.99 USD 😀
i downloaded gladiator begins (us)7,99$ but where exploited game save file

me add no skype gpodgl
Is this the link to the exploited game save (http://zload.net/v2/archives/file/?id=2417904), do I even need one for a kernel exploit. Thanks.
It looks like it to me, but I got the link via qwik’s twitter post!
“…do I even need one for a kernel exploit.”
How else would you load the custom firmware (TN-V) on your Vita? You obviously need the savedata which contains the loader. Read more on kernel and usermode exploits, don’t just use them.
Here’s the link to the US one from his Twitter: http://www.datafilehost.com/d/769292cd
I’m not sure if you needed the US or EU but all I have is the US. So sorry if it’s the wrong one.
Does anyone know if Gladiator Begins is on JP PSN and compatible with vita tv? Thanks!
is this fake?
http://zload.net/v2/archives/file/?id=2417905),
I load it up and it acts like a day 2 proper save and the game continues?
Or have Sony Ninja fixed 3.18 hehe
that would be just my luck as I just installed 3.18
ok either
1) http://zload.net/v2/archives/file/?id=2417905) is fake (tried another one I found online too though)
2) Gladiator Begins(EU) does not glitch
3) Gladiator Begins has been fixed
4) 3.18 has been stealthy patched
Hoping for 1) :¬(
Me too, using us save, us psn, vita 2000 and it loaded as normal save file to day 2…
Ok you have to press X on the “Item Box” menu to glitch it
I assumed it would glitch at load time
if you need to find the actual downloads by region go to the front comments on this article and go to his twitter. He’s already uploaded–tweeted–both the US and the EU links for the download. Along with the instructions.
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/769292cd
Use this one. Got it directly from his twitter but it’s for US not EU.
The gladiator begins game, can’t see my exploited game save file, when I’m trying to open it.
Please, need help!
