The next upcoming Exploit game for PS Vita firmware 3.36 is…
A lot of people have requested a new release of a PS Vita Half Byte Loader (VHBL) for the new firmware 3.30+, and today we are proud to announce that there will be a release of a new exploit game for PS Vita firmware 3.36.
Qwikrazor was so kind to release this exploit, and the exploit will mainly be used for setting up Custom Bubbles on your PS Vita.
The required Exploit games (you only need one of these 2) are the well known and famous games Patapon 1 and Patapon 2.
Keep in mind that Patapon 1 only works in its European version, and that Patapon 2 works in its European and North American version.
There is also a Japanese version of Patapon 2, and it might be exploitable too, but we are currently still investigating if this is the case or not.
The Japanese and North American version of Patapon 1 is not exploitable, this is only the case with the European version of Patapon 1. Please buy Patapon 2 if you are not using an European PSN store account.
Patapon 1 and Patapon 2 are rather cheap games (7,99€/9,99$) and are not too big, but also not too small (~300MB & 380MB).
Be sure to buy the game and download it onto your PS Vita as soon as possible, because Sony will most likely remove this game in near future.
If you buy the game, but forget to download the game, then keep in mind that you will not be able to download it (despite buying it) after Sony has removed the games from the PSN store!
We also want to apologise that we were not able to notify the registered members of Wololo.net/talk ahead of this news (like it is usually the case), because this is a sudden choice of release and its main focus lies on the Custom Bubbles, instead of the exploit for Patapon itself.
Another important fact is that you need to own a PSP game, that is not one of the firmware 3.18 exploit games, to use as a base for the proper VHBL custom bubble.
Patapon and the firmware 3.18 exploit games can not be used for these proper bubbles, since internal patches exist to limit these games (1 MB file size limit).
For the same reason we only use Patapon to set up a proper VHBL custom bubble.
In the end I would like to say thank you to Qwikrazor for yet another exploit of his, and that this exploits main purpose is setting up Custom Bubbles on and for firmwares 3.30, 3.35 and 3.36.
The necessary exploit savedata files will be released soon~ish, so be sure to buy the game, download the game, be patient and wait until we decide to release the files for Patapon 1 (EU) & Patapon 2 (EU, NA & maybe JP).





When will you morons realise that this so called exploits and update patches are ways that Sony and this dev criminals are using to make you buy games you don’t need??? If you are looking to play old games and emulators why not go for nvidia should that runs all emulators perfectly! Smh. And the zett you are one rude *** for talking to those kids like that.
Nvidia shield

Hi I’m running firmware 3.35, am i able to use the custom bubbles hack to acquire TN-V , I’m new to the hacking scene and I don’t have any exploitable games yet, if I purchase Patapon 2 (since I live in US) and as I mentioned i have firmware 3.35 so can i then acquire TN-V, please let me know
I think because we need to buy from the store, we need to update to firmware 3.36 for this to work
Will sit here in the corner on 3.18 and await the native exploit then , lol
Where is the expected most #1 fan of the Zett………….aka raiden
I’ve checked at store and it is only $5.99, is this correct, mr Z??
No that’s incorrect, the game is currently $599 not $5.99 in an effort to rake in cash monies. The store is lying to you.
Just want to make sure. I dont want bought wrong version
I did not check the dollar price, so I only converted the € price into $.
Looks like 10$ is not the price of it. There is just one patapon 2 for the psp, so you cant buy a false one.
Thanks… will buy it now
So will Monster Hunter Freedom Unite work for the custom bubbles on this??? Please answer asap thank you.
I thought that Sony had already blacklisted this game from a previous exploit…
Different exploit and different attack point.
no love for the asian store?
I have a pretty unique question, if I was to use a base game that I obtained for free from PlayStation plus then if I didn’t renew the subscription technically the bubble wouldn’t work anymore, am I correct? I wonder if it would still work. Thanks -Kryptek
Is there any way to get PSN content (FFX-2) to my 3.18 vita? I have an up to date ps3 and access to a pc.
yes, dowload it to PS3 and copy (check hte forum for info how to) first using QCMA or OpenCMA on PC.
Are there plans to release a TN-V ARK Webkit hack and PKG installer for 3.36? If so, shouldn’t we buy Patapon just in case so that we have a higher FW to work from?
Not possible. All these 3 things dont work on 3.30+
Thank Qwikrazor and The Z for the sharing!
However… Sony seemed to remove Patapon and Patapon 2 already…
Anyone could confirmed that once again?
Mine still there… I have US store account
good news ofter months
Well the middle eastern version of patapon 2 have the exploit ?
I think as long as it appears at the store, the game can be exploited
Great! thanks a lot kwikrazor you are the # 1:)
im in france which patapon should i take ? please , also can i run my psp iso’s from custom bubbles , thanks in advance.
Patapon 2 and yes you can. of course you have to prepare the bubble first and you will need an additional psp game for that.
Get 2
hi z which game for bubbles plz
Hi, I’m on 3.18 with no exploit (can’t get one since I don’t own a PS3).
Is it better to download Patapon on 3.36 or wait?
Get a PS3 (friends, or rent one) and get a game for 3.18.
In the end it is the better FW for hacks.
Highjacking this top comment:
BE SURE TO BUY PATAPON 2 INSTEAD OF PATAPON 1 (EU).
DUE TO TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS PATAPON 1 (EU) CAN NOT BE USED ANYMORE AS 3.36 EXPLOIT GAME!
We are deeply sorry about this, but it is unfortunally not possible anymore 🙁
I’m on 3.35 with Patapon 1, will the exploit still work for me or should I get Patapon 2?
Get 2
Thanks for the reply, i will get Patapon 2 later tonight
works in Mexico accounts Friend
First of all thank you for releasing this exploit. However I have a question which is probably dumb to ask but can ps1 games work with this bubble trick since the way on TN-V to play these is to turn the ps1 iso into an eboot anyway? Any answer to this would be great and i apologize if this seems like a dumb question
I had a thought, and that is, I wonder if you could play a PS1 game through the PSP emulator on the Vita. So, you convert a PS1 ISO into a PSP game, and then the PSP game into a PSV bubble. I don’t know if this works though. I’ll try it if nobody knows.
No it’s not possible until TN releases TN-X.
Hi, its possible to make the exploit with the demo version of patapon??
thank you.
Read the article. Did it say anything about the demo? No.
…. “But there still might be an explo-”
NO! No exp-a-loit! 🙂 Buy Patapon 2.
is this for homebrew/emulators etc or just for the custom bubbles ?
Both. Just not for TN-V or ARK
if a game is signed by “sony computer entertainment europe”, does this mean that its the europe version ?
Afaik, yes. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that when you load the game and it says “Sony Comp E Europe” that it was made in Europe. It all have to do with the Title ID of the game.
More on Title ID: http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/NP_Title_ID
Echochrome for PSP is in a sale right now, $2.40 and has only 45MB, great opportunity for a solid base game!
Why not just get a mini for 99c…?
A couple of weeks ago I was trying to use custom bubbles to play a backup of Patapon I had, and now Patapon is the game that get’s you custom bubbles.
Quite the paradox. Or is that even the word?
My first time with Custom bubbles so bare with me, after installing VHBL will I be able to update to later firmwares and keep using any emu/psp bubbles I make. I ask because I installed a bunch of demos and crunchyroll/netflix withe the pkg installer a few firmwares back on my EU vita and they still work after each firmware update. Is it just a case of not being able to make new bubbles after a firmware update? I only really want FF Type-0 and the Project Diva psp games on my Vita (I own both as imports legit) so it wouldn’t bother me if making new bubbles stopped working after the update as long as I get to keep my old ones. Thank You.
I think a long as Sony doesn’t try to patch the bubble exploit again (which, in the first round of patch-avoidance, we won, and we’re still winning), you should be able to load the bubbles in later firmwares.
Heck, if people are able to make a Vita Game card reader like they did for the NDS, we might even see a tutorial on how to copy pirated games into bubbles. (But let’s hope not, because piracy STINKS in the long run.)
Is it bad that i got Patapon 1?
Because Zett always recommends Patapon 2, but lives in the same country as i do (Germany -> EU)
Yes, because we f#cked up. Sorry 🙁
Yesterday just after release of games names I instantly bought Patapon 1. I already have it on UMD, so now it appears I bought it twice pointless… Meh, downloading Patapon 2 now :/ Thx for exploit anyway. Is there any chance to “repair” Patapon 1, to be still usable as exploit?
I know this question has been there for a while but i can’t find an answer…
Is this for a psp emu too? and is it better to stay wtih 3.18 the only problem is all exploited games for 3.18 arent for sale anymore 🙁 and i got none.
Thanks-
PATAPON 1 NOT EXPLOITABLE ! USE PATAPON 2 !

what about me stuck at 3.01 and cant update and buy new games
im about to buy patapon 2, for this exploit thingy, but now i kinda need a guide of how to actually “hack” my ps vita, im sorry but i couldnt find one with my google search, and im on 3.36 so the “real” hacks up to 3.18 dont work for me, im sorry if you already have a guide with a big *** button to the link for it, but i couldnt find it^^
Is this for ps vita TV as well ?
As long as Patapon 2 can be played on PSV TV, yes.
Im stay with 3.18 since I still use TNV for my umd backup
ok r now download end and wait for tutorial
i hope finally play psp games on vita for free
I’m at 3.18 with patapon 2 to load TN-V. Will it work if I use the same PSN account in other vita?
u can’t
Yes it will work as long as you dont have two registered as game.
Just want to say thanks “Z” and Qwikrazor for the announcement.
I’ve been waiting for news so I could play with the bubbles since I am on 3.35.
I’m looking forward to more releases.
Patiently I might add. 😉
It would be clever, if you correct the news. Some people do not read the whole comments and maybe downloading Patapon 1! That´s not too much work, insn´t?!!
Only wololo can publish/edit/correct news.
Wait for him to do his job.
Z, you should be promoted to Mod with all of the work you do for this scene, IMO…
what a pity in 3ds they have full kernel acess for all things and in ps vita we yet speak about psp on ps vita hack ….
well i am gonna buy a 3ds and be done with this farce.
The 3DS has worse security than the PSP.
The Vita has better security than the PS3.
It took 6 years to hack the PS3.
lol not exactly the 3ds had a great security if there was no gateway the hackers wouldnt release a thing on it and therefore we wouldnt have any shot in anything in homebrew ,it is like the wii u case they hacked it but they wont telease a think ps vita is a wii u in that matter 😉
I am gonna to corner and cry a lot.
Call me naive, but I still prefer the vita scene over the 3ds one.
The 3ds scene is all about pirating and stupid cards, while the vita scene may not be as progressed but every little step that is taken is darn brilliant.
The 3DS having “worse” security isn’t a bad thing. People have an issue with the Vita because it’s a more locked down gaming system compared to the PSP and 3DS.
Heh, I actually purchased Patapon 2 right when I got my Vita because it’s a great game. Dat feeling when you learn a game you owned forever had an exploit…
I think it’s a fun game too, but I would never have guessed from afar that it was a game about making beats O.o
What is a good cheap PSP game to have so I do this?!
