Release: Patapon 2 VHBL Exploit for PS Vita Firmware 3.36
You have waited for this, and Qwikrazor delivered.
This is the release of the exploit files for the Patapon 2 exploit for PS Vita firmware 3.36.
This is the first release of an exploit for the PS Vita firmware 3.30 and later (up to 3.36). This release requires the European, North American or Japanese Version of the Patapon 2 game.
This does unfortunally not work with Patapon 1 and also does not work with the Patapon 2 demo version, it has to be the bought version of Patapon 2.
You additionally need one random full PSP game, that we will have to use as a base game for the VHBL. Patapon 2 and the exploit in the game is pretty much only used to set up VHBL for another game, a game without limitations.
This random full PSP game must not be one of the 3.18 exploit games (e.g. Talkman Travel, this cant be used) and it must not be a Minis (e.g. Fieldrunners, this cant be used either), but it can be one of the previous exploit games (e.g. UNO or Gravity Crash Portable).
It can be nearly any full PSP game, but we recommend a small game, for example UNO (this is the one I used).
You have to set up a signed EBOOT.PBP at first (via fake_np or sign_np) and create such a signed VHBL EBOOT.PBP file for your base game.
Then you have to change the PATH.TXT file inside of the Patapon 2 exploit savedata and add the Game ID of your base game (e.g. NPEH00020 for UNO). If you dont know the Game ID, google it or watch my video.
After you did this, you drop this signed VHBL EBOOT.PBP into the exploit savedata folder of Patapon 2 and copy the exploit savedata folder and the VHBL01234 folder from your PC onto your PS Vita.
After you did all these things you run the Patapon 2 game, which then automatically triggers the exploit, sets up the VHBL for your base game, and in the end exits Patapon 2 by itself. Patapon 2 should show you a loaded savedata at first, then a grey screen and in the end a green screen.
The last step is restoring (or updating/refreshing) your PS Vita database. Either you power off your PS Vita and start it while keeping PS-button + Power + R pressed, or you can use your own way of refreshing the database (if you know a better one, that is).
After you have refreshed your database, starting your base game (in my example UNO) should now launch the VHBL with great compatibility, instead of the base game itself.
Be sure to NOT delete the Patapon 2 savedata file (after you have a successful VHBL on your Vita). Due to some bug it removes the license of the base game too, which then stops you from using the VHBL via your base game.
If you did not understand everything, feel free to watch my short explanation video, in which I show you how to set up all the files, find your base games Game ID, create the fake signed EBOOT.PBP file of the VHBL and a faster database refreshing trick.
The VHBL for Firmware 3.36 has special patches which enable you to add content into the /PSP/GAME/ folder without any kind of folder rename trick.
You can simple just move files in there, as if the PSPemulator has no protection for that direction. This also applies for EBOOT.PBP and PBOOT.PBP files, their protection is also gone, if you run PSPFiler via the 3.36 VHBL.
In the end I would like to thank Qwikrazor once again for all his work and his dedication to work on something for the public.
If you want to gift him a drink, feel free to donate him a buck or more.

how to make custom bubble if i want to play PSP games, but if the game is like 1gb do i need a base games with 1gb also?
Sorry for my question but I don’t understand everything about VHBL. 🙁
I’m on 3.20 (PS TV) and I have TN-V on it. Is there a benefit to purchase Patapon 2 for me to do this ?
Okay, so I got VHBL working, and I even went through the hardship of setting up FTP for the first time and the painfully slow process of transferring over a game. The problem is, I picked FF Type 0 (merged ISO’s, English translated, so about 2.8GB), and although it all transferred over fine, upon refreshing the directory, it got trimmed down to 1.4GB (an approximation). Upon trying to boot the game I used (Uno), it simply fails to boot and goes back to the live screen. Yes, I rebuilt the database before attempting to launch it.
I presume this is a unique issue seeing as FF Type 0 is a bit of a special case, but is this due to the single game size limitation on the PSP? Are custom PSP bubbles limited to the size limit of a single PSP UMD? If that is the case, is there a way to use this particular game via custom bubbles, or do I simply have to hold out hope for TN-V on 3.36 since I doubt there is a way to get a two ISO game functioning otherwise with custom bubbles alone?
Can i use talkman travel paris as my base game?
No. All the Talkman Travel games have been patched as of firmware 3.36.
Since the restrictions apply to Tokyo, they might also apply to Paris and co.
or tnt racers as my base game?sorry noob here
*** sorry i mean tnt racers as my other game i already have the patapon 2 on my psvita
That should work, if it is a PSP game 🙂
thanks ill try it now
I have made all like the video says se have yo do, and then I become a red screen and not the green screen. I guess I did something wrong but I dont know what… Could you help me please? I’m a noob…
Hey Rodrigo, tha same happened to me the first time I tried, that was because I was using the wrong game ID, I copied the same from the video, the European one, but as I have US version I had to changed it to US game ID, then it worked. Try that !!
Thank you, I proved all ready, but still doesn’t works.. :S
I followed all the steps. Everything seemed to be working just fine. I did PATAPON, got the gray and green screens, then launched UNO to get the VHBL, and unfortunately, UNO started up like normal, no VHBL.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Did you restore the database after patapon but before starting uno?
Did you remember to drop the EBOOT.PBP into the patapon 2 savedata before transfering it to your vita?
yes and yes.
As I said, I followed everything in the video exactly (which I’m sure you hear a lot). And everything was going very smooth, until I launched UNO to get the VHBL…it didn’t launch VHBL like it did in the video.
I’ll try again later and we can celebrate another PSvita nerd hacking their VITA.
thanks!
Same here, and I did do all of the above. Then I noticed the message about 3.3 no longer worked so i went to 3.2. At which point i got the license bug. How do you revert from the bug? I’ve tried deleting Pap2 & Uno along with their corresponding save games. Then tried restoring Uno from my backup and from re-downloading and still says uno isn’t licensed. Any suggestions. (I’ve been following and modding since the PSP’s first mod where the games were pre-iso)
Any idea why I get a grey then red screen. Ive put post in different places and others have had the same problem. I used Patapon 2, and tried 2 different base games king of pool and locoroco demo.
Hey guys,
I have installed an emulator for snes, but it doesnt have any games on it, do you know how I copy or move games to it?
thanks!
Install PSP Filer and drop the games into a ZIP file.
Then open the ZIP file with PSPFiler and manually move the games from the ZIP to the correct folder.
Thanks The Z, dude I swear I tried but I couldn’t do it, how do I move/copy/install the PSP FILER into my vita?
thanks!
It worked perfectly i already have the vhbl installed on my psvita thanks! so now my problems is i have no idea on how to create a custom bubble to play psp game on my psvita…i just bought this vita earlier just for the exploit thank you so much Zett!
how to custom bubble to play psp games?
I can play CPS1PSP too?
thanks.
lol somethings wrong with my vhbl it says error couldnt find any homebrew in ms0/psp/vhbl HEeeeeeeeeelp!
You’ve done it correctly. You now just have to add whichever homebrews you want
how i put homebrew?
If you want to add homebrew, first of all you should download it. After that rename the folder and name it INSTALL.ZIP. Next put that zip file into any save folder in your computer and transfer it to your ps vita. Open VHBL, click the L button and go that same save folder and click X (or O button in Japan). Then click yes when it asks you to install the homebrew.
So your telling me having super collapse 3 around is a great idea and should work perfectly. Thanks
I did all and get red screen, not green, then I got c1-2738-0 error when I run my psp game (chamaleon I use), don´t know what I did wrong
Same here!
Me too. All I know is to follow instructions. 3 times step by step and same RED SCREEN OF DEATH!!!
Make sure in the command prompt everything is CAPITALIZED except fake_np -b. vhbl.iso for example must be VHBL.ISO. Green Screen;) Spread the word
Double check and make sure that you set the PATH.TXT file correctly. I had VHBL running properly before I tried to modify my bubble and had to start over again after a really long complicated process. Then when I transferred everything over and got what you had, I realized I hadn’t re-edited my PATH.TXT file.

I have experienced same situation like you and I finally found an answer
We can transfer an eboot.pbp file in the game savedata folder to the vita by using cma
Follow this
: Prepare the filer(psp file manager homebrew) and put the eboot.pbp file of the filer to the psp savefile folder then you can send that homebrew to the vita and can use on the vhbl
Rename the install.zip -> eboot.pbp on the computer and send to the vita
Launch filer and rename it eboot.pbp->install.zip
Now you can unzip that file by using the vhbl
please, watch this video, and help me

Hey guys, how do I transfer and install PSP filer into my vita, I got the PSP filer files but I can’t find out where to put them in documents\ps vita and then move them to be installed in my vita, can anyone help me with that? thanks!!!
patapon 2 retiré du store y a t il un autre jeux ?
Yes, it’s been pulled.
I’m in the US and I still see it.
Well, it’s gone from EU PSN at least. Not even showing up as .xpd or via PSP browser here. Patapons 1 & 3 are up, but they don’t work for this anyway.
possible avec un autre jeux?
“it has to be the bought version of Patapon 2”
Better luck next time.
Bummer, i did buy Papaton 2 yesterday evening but did not download it due to low resources. Than this morning it’s gone from the download list. Yet i got an .xpd of it but it doesn’t start a download on my win7 pc with the Content Manager. When i click it nothing happens.
I even phoned Sony- no help from there.
Any ideas?
hello all friends I was having the same problem red screen instead of green I decided it’s time to make the step fake_np the letter must be uppercase in my case it worked
now so I do not know put the homebrew …
What did you change to uppercase?
gotcha!
Use LOCOROCO Midnight Carnival Demo instead of UNO, Worked perfectly for me.. But i don’t know how to add homebrew for VHBL for 3.36 !_!
Oh well found it here:
I got a red screen first time. Formatted the ps vita. Re downloaded uno and patapon 2. Launched both to create save game files. It worked second try. Follow the steps exactly. I used psn pkg decryptor & extractor to get my eboot.pbp that became uno.pbp and for fastest results just have uno.pbp, fake_np, and vhbl.iso in a folder then open command. I’ve seboot in that folder too. Worked great. Got the eboot.pbp and made sure the path.txt was correct. Copied it all over and got the green screen. If you get red something didn’t work out properly. Format and try again. I don’t have snes up yet. But I’ve got nes and master boy running. About to try gpsp and a different snes version. I’ll post results later. Also, when you get an emulator for example and there’s a folder in a folder like gpsp. The root with the data.bin and icon0 n that stuff stays. The second folder ( folder in the root folder) you zip it into install.zip in caps. Or it will say data corrupt. I just joined. Name is slaminger
Do cap locks matter anywhere. Does renaming the package file matter. ex. I used locoroco midnight carnival demo as the base game and I renamed it locorocomidnightcarnival.pkg?
And ninetailz you add it in your save data. Navigate on your pc to where the save data goes for me it’s documents/psvita/psavedata/ random jibberish. It goes in that folder alongside the patapon folder you went into to do the exploit n put files in. But don’t touch the patapon folder. I saw a tut that said delete the patapon save to be safe n it ruins the whole thing. Just put patapon in a folder by itself n ignore it. Also if you corrupt your save n uno won’t launch you don’t start over. Re download uno. Re transfer the patapon save n start from that point. It still works.
