Excitement in the air: Qwikrazor has an “unpatchable” ePSP exploit on the Vita
Those of you running on 3.36, who have missed the recent exploit releases, have been contacting me about the “next” one. Keep in mind that Sony patches those fast, so you need to basically check your favorite scene website ( wololo.net !) on a daily basis to make sure you don’t miss it. Seriously though, independently of what your favorite scene website is, make sure to check it daily, that’s the way these things work nowadays.
But I digress. Qwikrazor87 has been strongly hinting on his twitter account that he has another ePSP hack in preparation. He says the hack cannot be patched by Sony. Let’s take that with a pinch of salt: Japanese hacker 173210 had claimed something similar for his exploit in game “myStylist”, which ultimately got patched.
But Qwikrazor says his exploit goes a bit further, is not directly a savedata exploit, and could very well be an unpatchable exploit.
@173210 a while back you mentioned that you had an unpatchable exploit (MyStylist), but I found one “more unpatchable” 😛

@173210 doesn’t use a savedata at all.

@173210 and I’m almost certain that if they did have a blacklist for this exploit it’d most likely slow down certain parts of gameplay.

There is a catch though, it seems the exploit requires either a PSP or a already hacked Vita. For some of us who have been on the scene for a while, this could be exciting (many of us have more than one device by now), for those of us who don’t have a second device, there’s still the option of getting a used PSP. Whether that is worth the cost for you or not, is up to you.
@NeoSabin you’d need a PSP or another Vita with an exploit already.

Have you been waiting for an upcoming 3.36 Vita hack? Or are you already running a hacked Vita? Let me know in the comments 🙂
I have 2 PS vitas one on 3.18 with Patapon 2 EU/Tekken 2 EU and tokyo travel US/Tekken 2 US (will never update because its the best for exploits at the moment)
And one 3.36 PS Vita for online play, newer PSvita retail and PSN Games
@qwikrazor87 if you mean unpatchable by save game exploit it will be probably a Demo Game right? but please wait for next update for PSvita 3.36 OFW has enought exploits now here will be a update in the next days its end of march there should be a update soon
also thanks @qwikrazor87 for all your work I am and with safety many others are very grateful!
Eu Estou Esperando Por Um Explora Racker Pois Meu Vita Tava Rackeado Em Uma Versão Anterior Em Gladiator Begins Atualizei Meu Vita Para A Versão Mais Ressente E Perdi O Explora Estou Esperando Outro Já Faz Um Tempo E Agora Estou Muito Feliz COm Está Novidade Obrigado Vou Esperar Por Mais .
Todo Dia Toda Hora Eu Olha Aq Ver Se Tem Algo Novo.
Exactly how hacked does the PSP have to be? Would a PRO CFW 6.60 be enough, or do we need something that boots up into CFW when it powers on?
That’s the thing mate. We don’t know yet. More info will be released once the exploit hits the internet.
A normal CFW should do it 😀
6.20/6.60/6.61 ME/LME/PRO, either one of those will work.
I believe the title is hugely misleading. qwik himself said it was “more unpatchable”, which literally means it would be harder for Sony to patch because it’s not a savedata exploit (the malicious data is injected into the game by other means) and it would be a mayor drawback for the game’s compatibility if they do aditional checks to the data. At this point Sony only has a few alternatives: remove the game from store forever (still people who bought the game will already have it forever), spend a lot of money on R&D + testing trying to come up with a completely new way to patch the exploit, or just f*cking leave it alone like that, it’s just VHBL for f*cks sake.
Apparently, it’s for US only, i’m disappointed
I got the EU exploit working after this blog post was made.
Well… What’s about PPSSPP and similar software?
Finaly, the first exploit i could usw!
Hmmm, the OFW 3.50 came out on March 26… So I hope, we see the new exploit from Qwikrazor in the next hours, or its possible that it’s useless…
3.50 isn’t out yet XD
Its just rumored to be announced soon 😀
Well, I have a pandorized psp for like forever. But does that matter that a new FW is right around the corner, since its said to be an “unpatcheable” exploit?
good i thing i kept all my psps from psp hacking scene days, looking forward to what you bring.
***…. gotta find my pspgo charger :->
Same problem for me!
I played so much on my psp (1000 yes the big bulky fat one) that i broke my charger and my analog stick. c’:
(Good ol’ times)
My vita exploit is tokyo talk would that work or do I have to get a
psp?
I’ll also be waiting for this, have a hacked PSP 3001 04g running 6.61 pro-c2(with fixed PSN PS1 compatibility) and my recent Vita Slim running the latest OFW (which will be 3.50 as soon as it’s available).
I have a hacked 6.60 psp
What can I do to get PSN compatibility like you? =/
How does it work?
I have a hacked psp!
When will it come out?
how does it work?
What files are needed from the psp?
let me know.
Waiting for an upcoming 3.36 hack!! Bought my Vita Slim one week after all the exploit games had been removed from PSN Australia – and then stupidly updated from 3.18 to test out PS4 remote play functionality 🙁 🙁
Oh how I wish I had a time machine 🙁
You may want to include this tweet in your article: https://twitter.com/qwikrazor87/status/580843910609539073
It’s missing the information on 3.36 compatible which is key.
Unpatchable, and if blocked it will slowdown gameplay??? it sounds like a flaw in the CPU code. anyway I have a question, If I have an already exploited vita on 3.18 will I need a second psvita or psp too?????? I believe most people by now have at least one exploit active on their vitas.
I dunno about programming but is it possible to inject “something” to the vita using updating from usb in this article?
http://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/system-updates/ps-vita/
The exploit may be out for april 1st?
Thanks for your work guys.
and here is OFW 3.50… and files inside PSP are unrenameable.. oh well, sticking ti 3.18 for now.. goodbye bubbles.. im good with eCFW, but i hope TN-X gets a 3.50 compatible update released with this at the same time too..
I have both a Vita TV and and a Vita with an exploit. I’ve been waiting for a 3.36 and this is excellent news.
can we update our ps vita to fw 3,50? Or will we lost this exploit?
Well, I”ll be sticking to 3.18 for now. But I hope this is still usable on the new 3.50 as it would attract the newer vita database as well as give the guys who missed out earlier, another chance .
I’ve updated my vita i’m tired of psp emulator hacks i can buy a psp for 30/50$ or just download PPSSPP to play PSP games for free.
I like to play with my vita games online without have to install open cma and have to fake the version of my vita…
PSP emulator hack is cool but i only want native vita emulators homebrews i don’t care about piracy, vita doesn’t have so many games and you can buy the majority for really cheap prices now…
So good news but i don’t care i update my vita.
Would the PSP need to be hacked? I have one that’s hacked, but I’m not sure if it’s still up to date. Also not sure if it even holds a charge anymore. Sad, cause it used to be my all time favorite gaming device haha
Hot damn, I have a hacked PSPGo and I’m still on 3.36. Not too keen on any of the features that 3.50 brings to the table so I’m going to stay at 3.36.
I have a Playstation TV and Vita both on 3.36. Is there a way to get this exploit on my PS TV without having to worry about updating it? Also, if I get the exploit on the PS TV will it force an update to use the memory card on the Vita again? My Vita was on 3.18 but I tried to exploit my PS TV it made me update the Vita to use the memory card again.
I have Playstation TV OFW 2.x how did you manage to upgrade to 3.36 ??
