Upcoming PS Vita HBL for Firmware 3.30 canceled!
(Note from wololo: this article was intended to be published a couple days ago but got delayed in the ongoing mess). Due to the massive release, leak – call it whatever you want – we are unable to release the supposed to be upcoming firmware 3.30 VHBL game.
It was Patapon 1 and it had a really really good VHBL compatibility, the best since years (for the PS Vita).
Well, that is now useless, due to TN-V being available at 3.18 and Patapon 1 being fixed on higher firmwares.
Not only Patapon 1 but …
… also Patapon 2 and the Patapon 2 demo can be exploited, if you happen to have those currently installed.
There was a one-day window for being able to get the Patapon 2 demo onto your PS Vita, that was a few months ago, as the “blacklist” for the download list of the PSN was disabled, which enabled you to download any PSP/PS1 content onto your PS Vita.
It is currently impossible to install the Patapon 2 demo onto your PS Vita, regardless of any kind of PS3 or Package Installer connection. You can not install the demo!
So simply buy Patapon 1 or Patapon 2, follow the video and enjoy the TN-V eCFW at firmware 3.18.
This might be the last exploit release for a lot of months, if not years.

Such a damn shame that it came to this.
Is there any difference or advantage to buy Patapon 1 or 2 over Gladiator Begins?
No. Gladiator has ecfw files right now. It will be a while before the other exploit games get eCFW ported to them.
Did you even read the article? There is link to Patapon 2 files -_-
If i’m not mistaken, isn’t that only EU files for patapon 2 though?
Then there is this.

are you going to show how to do these with each game on the list? or just a few?
One after another.
I just need some time 🙂
hi just now i buy the demo de patapon 2, and is green the buy the game!!
-lennon is kill
-no
I doubt that this will be the last exploit for years. While there will probably be a big dry spell now, I doubt it will last years before new usermode exploits are found…
New exploits will definitely be found, however low the chances, but they might not be released to the public. The reason for this leak goes beyond what you and I know.
The leak appears to be due to anger after the initial kexploit leak. What are you suggesting as a reason for them to leak most or all of the known exploits?
Petty childishness. That’s basically what every scene is compiled of. Pettiness and childishness. People generally go into the scene for various wrong reasons and misconceptions. Then when things develop as any intelligent person would foresee, a choice few lose their *** over it.
It’s their time, though, so they are entitled to destroy their hobby as they see fit. Frankly, this was long overdue in the Vita scene. People are very selfish in this scene and go figure this is the result.
Still, I’ll reap the rewards. Not casting judgement on anyone or any event. It’s just what it is. (Everyone can spare me the “then you do it” attitude. THIS is why I don’t “do it” in the Vita scene)
I hope the US files for Patapon 2 are released soon.
Try this. If it works then tell me.
http://henrilavikainen.fi/PSVita/Patapon2_US_DISTRIB_With_TNV.zip
I tried it, error when copying it to vita
So it didn’t work, guess it wasn’t the correct file? :\
I’m trying to decide whether to buy Patapon 2 or Gladiator Begins…
What region did you try? Other people say it works.
My bad I mixed my links uhm try this https://twitter.com/YeeRMaaN/status/511386985605632000
Also got same error for the link when copying when transfer using USB,
after that I tried using wifi and now its working, thank you!
Did the us version work for you?
Yes I use US PSN and use file from https://twitter.com/YeeRMaaN/status/511386985605632000,
It works great, however I transfer it using wifi, it has error when using USB.
Do you have any other Patapon 2 US files? Apparently those didn’t work.
Qwikrazor87 posted a download link to a file about 260 MB. It has a lot of the exploit files for a lot of games. For patapon 2 throught the DISTIB file and extract the Patapon 2 US rar file to the saves you need for vhbl. Its is also possible to get ecfw with these files , the 6.60 OFW eboot file, and the tn-v10 files
Man I must be tired because my typing sucked just now.
Just find the DISTRIB file and look for the file you need. Take that then extract it to get your exploit saves.
Quickrazor87 didn’t post it. Acid_Snake Leaked the whole egg. that idiot…
Hi, i have the demo of patapon 2 installed on my vita *-* i can load tn-v with it?
try Download: 3.18 TN-V10 for Patapon 2 (EU files) in the article…
i try, say that the savedata are for the full game 🙁
well ask at wololo for this, and try get the full game we no see cfw for years
The demo needs different files. Which version you have? US or EU?
US
Sorry I don’t have files for the us demo.
in my case, fw ver, 3.15 and the demo is for us
you have the files for eu demo?
Sorry. I don’t have files for any demo.
Should i buy Patapon or Tekken 2 when i already have Gladiator Begins on my vita?
Why do you need to buy anything? You already have Gladiator Begins, no need for the others.
Well if you want TN-X and perfect PSX sound emulation then Tekken 2.
Avoid Tekken 2 in the US region. It’s buggy and unreliable.
Lucky I was able to download Patapon 1 for free when Sony gave it as a gift along with Wild Arms, Patchwork Heroes, and Piyotama. I think it was a Playstation Store anniversary thing.
Yep, same!
what about the spaceinvaders exploid, i bought this game just for this purpoise 🙁
The SIE Exploit works on 3.18, look here: https://twitter.com/The_Zett/status/511145411382620160
So I got patapon 1, then I saw you had the files for patapon 2, would those files work for 1 as well?
No
But you can try these:
http://henrilavikainen.fi/PSVita/Patapon-with-TNV/
Awesome thanks for the link mate, running ecfw with Patapon now. Where did yo get it?
dude, where did you get the 6.60 file? i got the save data above, which runs the exploit, but I’m missing the 6.60 files to install….
zload.net/v2
It was the leak and I combined it with the universal loader from qwikrazor87.
good stuff dude, i can confirm that I have TNV running with the files provided by hene193. just add ofw660 and you are goldeneye.
I can confirm this file to be working with patapon 1, thanks hene193. however it tells me i need to install 6.60 files first before I exit, back to the forums I guess, I think i missed a step
in my case, fw ver, 3.15 and the demo is for us
Both patapon 1 and 2 is not available for Asia PSN….. Only 3…
Look for Gladiator Begins then, files are already released for it my friend!
Nop, not even Gladiator Begins is in Asia PSN.
Any ETA on files for Patapon 1?
I mean I’ve already got Glad Begins but Patapon 1 is only 180mb odd where GB is in high 300s!
Though my Aussie account has has Pats 1 only!
http://henrilavikainen.fi/PSVita/Patapon-with-TNV/
Try this. Tell me if it works.
They US or Euro files?
Thanks!
Nvm just seen it had them all lol. Thanks I’ll check the US one out soon =)
so i bought patapon 1 before reading the rest of the article and seeing the link for patapon 2 files…… so where are the files for patapon 1? o_O
disregard this ^. i thought my comment was deleted, this site must be getting a lot of traffic
Look at link 3 messages above yours by Hene193
🙂 yes mate, i saw it. now i gotta read about how to transfer a file lol, i’ve been following the scene since day one , this is my first time doing the actual exploit, i always miss it.
Im from México, new at this, can i download patapon from my store and the files will still work? Would I be able to run the exploid?
I got Patapon for free when Sony was having a sale.
you just saved $5.99
yes me too i got it for free, but i already bought gladiator begins before they announce this so i fcked up and wasted $5.99, 🙁 lucky you.
So I’m interested in this but my question is since this is the latest firmware then that means that we can go online to PSN store and trophies would be working–correct? Also Patapon 2 file is for EU, and not for the US; so does that matter, if we are in the US region? If it does does, does anybody any have the US files?
Also I’m guessing we would have two user interfaces on our Vita right; the TN-V–XMB interface–and the normal Vita UI or do we only have one interface after installing this exploit? :\
@ Henes193 have you tested that, and where did you get that from?
I combined them from leaked VHBL files and Universal loader from qwikrazor87. I have not tested them but people have reported to me that they work. (US file I’m not sure but EU works)
So us version is still unconfirmed if it works or not?
And for US Patapon 2 https://twitter.com/YeeRMaaN/status/511386985605632000
Yeah sorry–and thank you–I just saw this reply now and saw the previous reply (the post above) earlier today in class; so thanks again!
Also do you happen to know if we can go online after doing this?
the files for patapon 1 eu?
Just making sure. If i’ll buy now Patapon 2 will I be able to run this exploit? Or is this for an old version of the game
The exploit is for the EU version I don’t see one for the US..
I am from Europe. So I guess I will try and buy this game.
lucky 🙁
There is us version! https://twitter.com/YeeRMaaN/status/511386985605632000
Open Question. when the phrase best compatibility in years. Is thrown around. How much better would that be? Are we talking slightly better. Or significantly as in don’t waste your time With GL Begins???
The compatibility differences are only in VHBL. All games that can run TN-V , performe the same way. Just don’t use Minis to run TN-V, as they can not run files bigger than 24 MB.
So nothing for Vita Tv then? Vita TV can only use Asia/JP PSN account. Playing PSP on the big screen yaw.
Disgaea 2 and God of war – ghost of Sparta was mentioned… I brought them because they are both in the vtv compatibility list.
im on US should i get patapon 1 or patapon 2 ????
i bought patapon 1
how do i start the loader? i cant see any video on the article
Download the right save here:
http://henrilavikainen.fi/PSVita/Patapon-with-TNV/
Then rename this and put it in same save folder as other tn files and move them to vita:
http://wololo.net/downloads/index.php/download/947
what happened to all the comments ?
oh there they are
gg
just picked up gladiator beginns yesterday after i messed up my 100-in-1 megamix exploit ^^ don´t know if i should change to patapon, it´s the better game but has it as kexploit advantages? faster? better? ^^
Ps one classics removed in us play store, patapon and gladiator still up.
Kind of funny the priority of getting rid of ps one off store over psp? Found ff7 in psp games on us store but bye bye xs moto. Does that mean they are more worried over psx emulation, or coincidence that not all could be removed at one time? Or did they discover greater vulnerabilities in ps one emu?
i got patapon 1 on US 3.18 works fine
XSmoto works
tekken2 does not work to load ps1 games it just blackscreens
So this article was meant for a couple days ago? Let me get this straight…
There is Patapon 2, which is $5.99 (or free, as some mentioned) and “the best in years” or Gladiator Begins, which is $7.99 and good enough. The 3.30 exploit was already cancelled, but the “chaos” prevented a site that does nothing more than release the information from doing the one thing it is intended for, which is passing that info along. Not to mention, the Patapon 2 demo should have been downloaded a few months ago. Now that all of this happened, a new exploit may be months or even years.
So if I am following correctly, this site is useless for anything more than reading about how things could have been or sloppy seconds on the exploits that haven’t been patched yet but work well enough? It’s all the better this happened. Maybe when things settle down and start up again, we will get a Don King that actually knows how promoting works and doesn’t call forum releases “ninja” when Sony employees have an email, too.
It’s only “the best in years” for VHBL, but it was just leaked with a kernel exploit so that doesn’t really matter. Also, how do you suggest that anyone prevent Sony from participating in ninja releases? (which, btw, there is no evidence of) Wololo has no way of differentiating you and I from Sony employees, so naturally a ninja release has the potential to go to Sony as well. This leak was due to a fight between the devs, and had absolutely nothing to do with Sony. (other than helping them and hurting everyone else)
“Wololo has no way of differentiating you and I from Sony employees, so naturally a ninja release has the potential to go to Sony as well.” is a wordy version of “Sony employees have an email, too” but I am hoping you knew that when you wrote it.
I am not suggesting anyone prevents Sony from participating in a ninja release, which I think was meant to be responding to a ninja release. I am saying the entire premise that these ninja releases somehow lead to more people obtaining the exploit before Sony removes the game is just coincidence. Sony employees are not some mutated race of less-than-intelligent life forms and definitely not the ones posting “How I use sayved gem download from intersnet, need bi Papatoon?”
Nobody knows how Sony will respond. A lot of the stuff on Twitter had the sound of “So Sony can remove one game at a time, but what about 50 all at once? Care to risk that much revenue, Sony?”
The only “qualified” people I have seen going on about how much this hurt the community seem a lot more focused on how their release was ruined. I couldn’t care less what the fight was about or what some PR rep thinks about the future. What is important is to use this opportunity as a chance to push back.
If Sony takes down all of the games, petition that it is unfair to the customers and developers. Ask them why they released a DevKit for Unity if they are saying homebrew is somehow violating your rights as a paid hardware owner. Tell them you already paid $30 for the game with your PSP, so that $10 to download it makes the $200 hardware purchase seem a little too high to recommend to anyone. If all else fails, go grab the PSM SDK. It was worth a shot.
Cant believe noone asked this yet but cant we use the just released vita package installer to install the pkg for the patapon 2 demo? You said it worked for free material.
Because the article stated “It is currently impossible to install the Patapon 2 demo onto your PS Vita, regardless of any kind of PS3 or Package Installer connection. You can not install the demo!”
Oh yeah I misread that as “PS3 package installer connection” thinking it had nothing to do with the new release. I’d like to know why this is though? Are PSP demos not DRM free like I guess PS Vita demos are?
where the patapon eCFW files?
i cant find them…
Patapon 1/2 still has the best compatibilty or am I missing something?
The compatibility differences are only in VHBL. All games that can run TN-V , performe the same way. Just don’t use Minis to run TN-V, as they can not run files bigger than 24 MB.
Ok, so i have the game Patapon2, downloaded today, using CMA, got the exploit files copied to the save game folder, transferred all over to the vita including the 660.PBP file, run game, loads screen goes white/green/blue then error (C1-2858-3), tried changing the country etc but getting this all the time, any idea’s anyone?
No worries sorted it !
Question – how did you get past this issue? I’ve copied over the files, but i keep getting an error for the save file being corrupted.
maybe theyr doing this because they finally actually have a vita hack
what would be the point to leak all of these
What would be the point to leak all of these even if they did have a Vita hack? We should probably accept the evidence that we have, that Acid_Snake was angry with qwikrazor87 and did this to hurt him, rather than inventing reasons to be more optimistic.
if anyone helps my story: (EU)
– It was on 3.01 tn king of pool-v10
– Upgrade to 3.18
– Probe the king of pool to see if it worked and it did not (error loading savedata)
– Buy the Patapon 2 and now I again tnv-10
– Buy Sport Superbike 2 and now I also have the ps1 loader
Thanks for the info Wololo !!
Sorry……google traslator
