Custom Emulator Firmware TN-X for 3.00-3.20 Released
Previously promised TN-X is finally released. TN-X is a custom emulator firmware for Vita/Playstation TV. It runs Playstation 1 games with perfect sound and a lot more features.
It is known that some PS1 games can be exploited on Vita/Playstation TV. The two of the publicly known PS1 exploit games are Tekken 2 and XS Moto/Sports Superbike 2. You need to be on firmwares 3.00-3.20 and own one of these games to be able to use TN-X. You will also need TN-V to copy your PS1 games to ms0:/PSP/GAME/ directory. Here is the large feature list of TN-X:
* TN-X menu with cover arts and rumbling effect for DS3. Pressing triangle will open the configuration menu.
* Button combination to return back to TN-X menu by pressing L/L1 + SELECT.
* Integrated super fast SaveState plugin by holding SELECT for some seconds (remember that savestates in pspemu and ps1emu cannot be shared).
* Plugins support, but only CWCheat will be displayed correctly.
If you want to have an specific plugin being supported, contact me either via email (total_noob@hotmail.com) or write me a PM on wololo’s /talk.
* Official Vita’s screenshot feature with TN-X signature.
* TN-X custom button assignment (set your Vita’s offical button assignment to standard before using TN-X’s custom button assignment).
* Fullscreen hack for Vita TV (not all games/not all screen modes can be stretched up to 16:9).
* Fast forward feature by pressing R/R1 + SELECT to turn on/off.
* Enabled soundtracks in CDDA games.
* Possibility to use a custom bios by placing a bios file at ‘ms0:/PSX-BIOS.BIN’.
* Official PSN PS1 games can be played without licence file or ‘KEYS.BIN’.
If you don’t know how to convert your PS1 games to use them with TN-X, this guide will help you. Even though it says it is for PSP, everything is valid for Playstation Vita too.
TN-X together with TN-V is the reason i still use my Playstation Vita/Playstation TV daily. So i really appreciate Total_Noob’s work on them.

cool thks. lol 2.
oh yeah.. rock & roll!! we love it.. and now im wishing that this gets updated for 3.36 or a more recent firmware, before the total shutdown of PS Mobile .. or else i’ll say goodbye to neither TN-V/TN-X or my PS Mobile apps
NICE! Thank You Total_Noob!
So if I started playing a game through this to use the fast forward feature, could I go back to using the default PS1 emulator, or would it delete the save/make it unplayable?
Fast forward feature can be enabled/disabled in-game with a button combo and has no effect on savegames. For example just enable it when there are dialogs and disable it when it is done.
Sorry, I didn’t clarify. I mean, if I played a game in TN-X, saved, and then went back to play it through the default PS1 emulator already on the vita, will it let me? Will it transfer my progress?
Yes, it will. I assume you use the normal save function of the game not savestates.
Cool, thanks. I’ll probably have to figure out how to install this and give it a try.
Once you get it running, there is no reason to go back to the original, since TN-X has all the features of the original PS1 emulator aswell as all the extra functionality such as savestates, fast forward and so on.
What are the benefit’s to using a custom Bios? also why is CWCHEAT the only plugin that is displayed properly. Lol You forgot to mention with PRO-ONLINE mode!? lol jk thx m8!
It is not yet known if there is an advantage for using custom Bios. It might provide additional compatibility etc. but it needs research. as the ePSP and ePS1 screen modes are different, plugins have troubles displaying properly unless they are adjusted.
I can’t seem to get it to work I have both Tekken and sport Superbike 2 EU I dunno what I am doing wrong can anyone please help thanks
I’m a bit confused. If you install TN-X, don’t you no longer have TN-V? So how does it need TN-V to copy games over?
Nope, you still have TN-V, they don’t conflict. TN-X doesn’t have an install function like TN-V or have a FTP server. So, to transfer your ps1 games, you should use TN-V. After transferring your game, you can boot them from TN-X.
Also, why is it called TN-X and not TN-V 11? Is there something fundamentally different between the two?
From what I read, I think you use it with TN-V. It lets you fast forward and use save states in PS1 games…I think.
Thanks all for the replies! But then how does one use TN-X?
Let’s say you have one exploit game, used to run TN-V. When you run the exploit game, does it go to TN-V, and then you run TN-X from TN-V like a game, or does running the exploit game just run TN-X?
Nevermind, I think I got it!
There used to be an exploit game used to run PS1 games, and that’s the game being given a CEF now.
TN-X is the new name for PS1 Loader if that is what you ask. TN-X and TN-V are different. TN-V boots PSP games and TN-X boots PS1 games. TN-V can also boot PS1 games but not as good as TN-X. Main problem on TN-V is the sound issues on PS1 games.
So to install this, I understand about transferring the exploit game’s save data over. But to be clear, are we transferring over the files in TN-V over to the same location, or where the TN-V’s exploit game data is? (Come to think about it, do we only need to do that if we did not already have TN-V, or is this a necessary update?)
You will have an exploited game save for XS Moto or Tekken 2. copy that save to your PSP/SAVEDATA folder. You also have to copy the TNV folder to PSP/SAVEDATA. Then boot XS Moto or Tekken 2. For XS Moto, loading the exploited save and starting 2 player game is enough where you have to lose a match in survival mode for Tekken 2. After triggering it, you should see the TN-X menu.
That seems a bit different than what I’m seeing…
I have a PSAVEDATA\(long string of incomprehensible stuff)\SLUS01506\
SLUS01506 is the folder for the save data of the exploit game, so I’m pretty sure I just dump the files over, overwriting any duplicates.
Should the TNV folder also go into the SLUS folder, or is it going at the same level as the SLUS folder?
TNV folder goes to the same level as the SLUS folder.
I am talking about PSP folders and you are talking about folders in your PC.
In your example TNV folder should go to the same level as the SLUS folder. It goes to PSAVEDATA\(long string of incomprehensible stuff)\
Thanks so much!
That does explain the difference. I (obviously) didn’t get it, but wouldn’t my question make more sense, as the Vita doesn’t let us see a file structure directly? Or is this something related to PSPfiler? (I’ve never used it, so I’m not sure how it works, and I’m just guessing now)
What about the PS1 loader bubble? Will that trick be released too?
Oh my god… after using this for a while.. seeing how well it works… Total_Noob is a total legend!! You’ve just turned my Vita and my PS TV into the best thinkable devices for playing PS1 titles!!!!
Hey, @Total_Noob, could you update it so that the TempAR cheat engine works with TN-X, too? Thanks!
i get an error with tekken EU, first a blackscreen and then an error when i lost the first survival match.
copy tnv folder to savegame
the tnv folder goes into the SCESXXX folder?
okay thx got it 😀
Obligatory “PSX = PS2 hybrid, not PS1” comment.
Otherwise, nice release of the TN-X eCFW 🙂
ur right the official name of PSX goes to a PS2 hybrid. the unnoficial name for the PS1 prototype was at first PSX as in playstation experiment
I have a 3.36 PSVita and I already spent $6 bucks for XS Moto but Sony yank it from the PSN! Hopefully this exploit can be updated soon.
You sure about that? As far as I can see, the game can be bought on the PSN store right now.
Anyways this isnt working on 3.36, only 3.10-3.20.
I bought XS Moto today (US) and transferred it to my Vita. So it should work for people… but not if you’re using a Vita on 3.36.
i have error on tn x .. i lunch the game (impossible to access the memory card) all game ERROR
sorry for my english but i’m italian
memory card error
Compression level 0 or 9
example
DQM1＆2 TN-V Compression level 0 work fine
DQM1＆2 TN-X Compression level 0 not working
DQM1＆2 TN-X Compression level 9 work fine
sorry for but english"
My PSTV 3.20 crashes after I start single or 2 player race, am I doing something wrong?
have you transferred both the savedata folder and the “TNV” folder?
How do you reload the savestate? And how do you know that it actually took a savestate, my select button doesnt do anything
You’re supposed to keep it pressed a few seconds until the menu appears.
Yeah, but mine doesnt pop any menu, thats the thing.
Are you sure your button assignment in Vita is set to standard?
Yup, at first it was popping the cheat engine window…so i had to reassign the cheat engine button thing. It might be conflicting with one of my plugins, i’ll have to test it out
Confirmed. I disabled cwcheats and the original savestate plugin made for TN-V in my tnv exploit game and now the savestate plugin for TN-X works. So either one of those plugins were preventing me to access TN-X savestate!
Ok so I put Tekken 2 US save and the TNV in mso:/PSP/SAVEDATA and when I trigger the exploit the screen goes black and then an error pops up. I am able to start up the old PS1 exploit so any ideads why this isnt working???

please help Reprep everytime i load tn-x for 3.18 i get to the menu but when i try to run installed GEX to TNV i get Cannot access memory card but it runs on tnv10???
Thank You for the help 🙂
I had the same issue as Knobjockey. The save for Tekken US is not working as it is. In the save files there is a file called SCEVMC0.VMP that needs to be replaced with the same file from the previous save that triggers the Tekken exploit. I have TN-X working now. Thank you very much!
3.18 with tekken 2. EU Blackscreen and crash. Same as knobjockey
Did you copy the TNV folder too?
XD thks total_noob !!!! finally my PSTV work with psx ,
Download and Test with moto xs : Thosand Arms work perfectly amazing!!!
Hi, thanks, tested savestates, works perfect!, my two questions is: how can i install the cwcheat and how can i enable it, in the tnx? in the psp is hold select, but this is used to save states in the tnx. Thanks.
say problem here
we aren’t noob
I get a message can’t access the memory card after TN-X loads i try to play Vigilante 8 2nd offense.
memory card error
Compression level 0 or 9
example
DQM1＆2 TN-V Compression level 0 work fine
DQM1＆2 TN-X Compression level 0 not working
DQM1＆2 TN-X Compression level 9 work fine
sorry for but english"
awesome work from tn once again 🙂
would be nice if there will be a possibilty to skip the warning and psx logo when you start a game (don´t know if this possible with a custom bios or so)
i have blackscreen and i dont know what to do… i try every thing… tn-x works weird… black screen, no error,controll confing and save state while pressing selec works….nothing more… no tittle no games…need help please
Hope noob makes a 3.36 version.
I want Crash Bandicoot Warped exploit 🙁 or any other crash game… they are on my Vita, yes 😀
To everyone experiencing error, you need to copy the save files through CMA, not via ftp. That’s what I did to get it through TN-X.
Hola a todos nuevamente, he probado el TN-X en PSTV y funciona correctamente, para todos los que hablan español, si tiene alguna duda sobre la instalacion y funcionamiento o simplemte quieren es jugar ya, no duden en escribirme, se que es hacer algun paso mal y que no funcione, por lo general siempre falta meter algun archivo necesario. saludos!!
Could this be technically possible to use on a ps3??
I say this because you can now install things onto the ps3s hdd with ps3xport.
for example I have sports superbikes. when i make a backup and extract it on my pc i can see the game and the savedata folder. but when i restore the backup on the ps3 the exploit never show up its like there isnt anything in the savedata
PS3 isn’t able to reproduce any PSP, ePSP related exploit afaik.
Installation
* Transfer ‘TNV’ savedata and the savedata belonging to your PS1 exploit game, both to your device. – THIS DOES NOT EXPLAIN ANYTHING
Transfer using OpenCMA or QCMA. Then run Content Manager on your PS Vita. Copy the save exploit from PC via Save Data/Playstation on Content Manager While TNV can be copied as PSP savedata.
can i still get Tekken 2 from the NA PSN?
Last time i looked, yes. Though i would advise XS Moto. it is smaller and boots the exploit much much faster.
thanks got it a couple of days
why i put tekken2’s savedata & tnv save correct, survive mode fail and it’s only show “Blue Screen of Death”?
