    Such a damn shame that it came to this.

  2. compil3r

    Is there any difference or advantage to buy Patapon 1 or 2 over Gladiator Begins?

  3. tom

    are you going to show how to do these with each game on the list? or just a few?

  4. fire_black

    hi just now i buy the demo de patapon 2, and is green the buy the game!!

  5. Cheesethief

    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…

    • JCK07115

      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.

      • mlc

        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.

  7. Ruxonmc

    Hi, i have the demo of patapon 2 installed on my vita *-* i can load tn-v with it?

  8. Feeq

    Should i buy Patapon or Tekken 2 when i already have Gladiator Begins on my vita?

  9. Datright

    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.

  10. Alx

    what about the spaceinvaders exploid, i bought this game just for this purpoise 🙁

  11. Fox

    So I got patapon 1, then I saw you had the files for patapon 2, would those files work for 1 as well?

  12. fire_black

    in my case, fw ver, 3.15 and the demo is for us

  13. philippecr

    Both patapon 1 and 2 is not available for Asia PSN….. Only 3…

  14. Stiffeno

    Any ETA on files for Patapon 1?

  15. Fox

    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

    • Fox

      disregard this ^. i thought my comment was deleted, this site must be getting a lot of traffic

    • Stiffeno

      Look at link 3 messages above yours by Hene193

      • Fox

        🙂 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.

  16. David

    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?

  17. Charles Fasano

    I got Patapon for free when Sony was having a sale.

  18. Swuell

    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?

  19. Steff

    the files for patapon 1 eu?

  20. mAx

    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

  21. FreeMyVita

    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???

    • ErnieBall

      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.

  22. Feeq

    So nothing for Vita Tv then? Vita TV can only use Asia/JP PSN account. Playing PSP on the big screen yaw.

    • Taliesintaliesin

      Disgaea 2 and God of war – ghost of Sparta was mentioned… I brought them because they are both in the vtv compatibility list.

  23. skay

    im on US should i get patapon 1 or patapon 2 ????

  24. skay

    what happened to all the comments ?

  25. Diag

    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? ^^

  26. omnipotent

    Ps one classics removed in us play store, patapon and gladiator still up.

  27. omnipotent

    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?

  28. skay

    i got patapon 1 on US 3.18 works fine
    XSmoto works
    tekken2 does not work to load ps1 games it just blackscreens

  29. roswell108

    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.

    • mlc

      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)

      • roswell108

        “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.

  30. warfaren

    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.

    • roswell108

      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!”

      • warfaren

        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?

  31. deaos

    where the patapon eCFW files?
    i cant find them…

  32. kineticUk

    Patapon 1/2 still has the best compatibilty or am I missing something?

    • ErnieBall

      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.

  33. Spongebobus

    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?

  34. mikey201

    maybe theyr doing this because they finally actually have a vita hack
    what would be the point to leak all of these

    • mlc

      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.

  35. VitaADDICT

    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
