Excitement in the air: Qwikrazor has an “unpatchable” ePSP exploit on the Vita
- RU
- EN
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 🙂
Been waiting for a 3.36 exploit for PS TV, since I want to get Damascus Gear, but didn’t want to lose exploitability that 3.20 offers.
What luck! I just so happen to have a hacked PSP on hand!
Same here xD just bought it the other day for hacking purposes lol
Good, I’ve been waiting for a 3.36 exploit as I only recently got a Vita (A couple days after all exploit games were removed from psn). I already have two hacked psps so this sounds promising.
Waiting!
I’m currently run Numblast ARK-2 on my 3.36 Vita. But if it unpatchable I still willing to get it..
I might so this and update my PSTV to gain PSN back but for now Patapon is still my exploit of choice. Hopefully there is a way to auto launch as that would steer me away from 3.20 finally. I would love to keep direct access to PSN as the transferring from PS3 to PSTV is annoying at best.
i dont have a second device but i do have 1 vita. i have patapon 2 so vhbl is available for me i hope this works for me
I have 2 slim psp and 1 phat sitting around, although I mostly use my psp go With a cfw. Can I use my go instead my psp? Bc I un install it back to ofw. And I have a psvita slim that I want to hack..
I don’t know anything about this, but just speculating… It sounds like you can use any PSP you want so long as it’s able to run homebrew. (Maybe doesn’t even have to run homebrew). Considering qwikrazor said you can use a second hacked PS Vita (basically the most limited form of a PSP), I’d assume any model PSP would work.
hacked PS Vita is not the most limited form of a PSP…
I’m not sure if hacked vita refers to VHBL or CEF, but either way, it can run unsigned psp homebrews. (while PSP running OFW would not be able to run unsigned homebrew)
Most limited form of PSP would probably be PS Vita’s ps1 emulator. AFAIK PS Vita’s ps1 emulation is done through psp emulator with different features enabled/disabled to only allow ps1)
Well, I see your point, but I didn’t mean it that way. I meant if you have them all hacked and running a CFW (or eCFW) then the Vita is pretty much the least useful one. Also, I’d kinda argue that an OFW PSP doesn’t count because any PSP can be hacked now on the newest FW. And right, the PSV PS1 emulator, I didn’t think about that really because it’s not useful for anything except PS1. xD Either way, good eye for detail. But I think you can still see my point in trying to answer his question.
I’m staying on 3.18 and not budging, but this does sound awesome. I’m probably gonna get another Vita some time soon so I don’t have to deal with being on an older firmware, so it’d be nice knowing I’d never have to worry about ePSP exploits on it.
me gusta esta pagina good news
All hail the razor
im ready…go
Vita and psp in hand! Lets do this.
I don’t care about PSP homebrew/piracy that stuff , this is just chasing *** from 7 years ago. v3.18 with pkg installer is that type of stuff that’s actually relevant, being able to get demos etc from other regions especially Japanese stuff is one of the best work arounds ever.
Where do you get links for japanese demos except from wololo?
so you think all people here are noobs?
You get them yourself by sniffing URLs from PSN. Not a hard thing to learn.
I know, but I would need another, japanese psn account.
u mean we can update ps vita to latest fw and still keep the expoit, i mean future fw’s
test.
don’t take it literally, “more unpatchable” was meant that it’s unpatchable by Sony’s usual method of patching savedata exploits, which won’t work here since it’s not a savedata exploit, but I’m sure with a bit of thinking they can patch it.
Waiting for that, i have PSP and PS Vita 😀
Eu também tenho um explorável jogo que só eu tenho e não o torno público para que a sony não o remende.
hoping one gets released my wife updated my vita from 3.18 =\ last week
divorce is always an option? 🙂
My Vita still is on 2.02 using the Uno exploit as I am not doing much with it. I don’t even know a single Vita game that makes me think “Oh wow I really want to play this”. The biggest use of my Vita has been playing emulated Advance Wars, Jeanne D’Arc and Wagic….
The article isn’t very clear, i take it we have to have a vita AND an additional Vita/PSP (Cracked) for the exploit to work? Would it be possible to borrow a friends vita to hack my own? My PSP died a few months back and never bothered replacing it since my Vita now takes its role.
Yeah, as long as his Vita is already hacked and can run TN-V/ARK.
I think it’s ‘more unpatchable’ than usual savedata xploits and if it’s released the night b4 Sony releases its “next vita ‘update…'” the patch team will have to delay it or better still, it will make all future updates postponded indefinitely…
Cool. thks.
Got two vitas 2.06 3.06 but I might jus get a psp go soon. and a vita slim. or vita tv.
I’m gonna let my PSPs know that the time to have their batteries charged has come yet again! They’ve been so sad sitting dead and stuff in that self for so long…. They get to be use(d)ful again! Hooray for my old buddies!!!! \ :v /
Time to take the dust out of my PSP? Yeah!!!
I will stay on 3.18 hoping the webkit exploit might still come in handy.
same here !!!
Not gonna hold out anymore. Purchased a PSP Go and will be updating my 3.18 Vita to the current version. Plus, I wanted remote play for my PS4.
Finally! Good on you mate. I updated from 3.20 last week and have been having a blast playing online and remote playing.
Finally, a reason to pull out my psp-slim. …I still play GvGN+ when I’m bored >_>
I hope an ePSP kernel exploit
mostly possible a hardware exploit. kernel exploit is patchable.
i might sound stupid…but its it possible to use PPSSPP emulator instead of real PSP device for this hack?
if it is running on a hardware which can do adhoc connection with PSP/Vita, yes it could be possible.
So it could be an adhoc exploit? 😀
Correction, i checked and it seems PPSSPP can’t do direct adhoc connection with PSP/Vita, so that is a no-go unfortunately.
Got it, thanks a lot!!
Wouldn’t you be able to connect an android device running ppsspp to a ps vita ad hoc over a local wlan? I was just
checking out this tutorial (I may be wrong). http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=11398 (if posting links isn’t allowed just delete my comment, sorry)
@DiabloNocturnia: It needs Pro Online Plugin running which is impossible on a non-hacked Vita.
I have a problem, I can’t ad-hoc my PS Vita with my PSP, using Ark2. I can Ad-hoc my PSP with my Go, they are on 6.60 Pro. Is because my Vita’s PSPemu is on 6.61?
PSV with 3.01 firmware and Arcade Airhockey and Bowling [Custom Emulator Firmware 6.60 TN-V8 by Total_Noob]. I’m leaving for Iceland for a short vacation, please can you wait untile the 7 April to release the exploit??? : D
Thank you anyway.
but if we update from 3.18 to 3.36 were lost packages installer rigth? 🙁
Been waiting for an upcoming 3.36 Vita hack.
I’m more excited to know what makes this unpatchable and how it works
I bought two PS Vita TVs one month ago, and am waiting for an exploit game. I also got a hacked PSP, and now it can be used to hack my PS Vita TV. This is really a good news for me!!! Thanks so much : )
My Vita is still at 3.01 with the King of Pools exploit running TN-V10
Is there anything ‘better’ for me worth updating and stepping up or should I just keep waiting this way?
The only Vita game I really play is the Metal Gear Solid Collection, and everything else is mainly PSP stuff.
Dude, you should just update to 3.36 and get the exploit QuickRazor will be releasing. I trust him to release something good.
No. < 3.18 has better compatibility for "psp stuff" plus the package installer.
Never ever update man.
You have Webkit exploit and PKG Installer 😀
WHOOOSH! and WHOOSHH!!
This is why I felt luck getting that Pool exploit and stopped there. I don’t think anything is worth stepping up unless its an actual Vita hack perhaps.
Everything else still seems the same to me more or less, but what I learnt from the PSP scene years ago is to stay as low as possible with the firmware for the longest times. I had a few PSPs and did the mistake of madly updating before, and regretted that later.
Anyways, I’m obviously no developer or computer programmer, I’m not so good with that stuff, honestly.
But I try to follow up on the updates as much as possible.
Anyways, if there’s one more game I would like to play on my vita, it would be Dead or Alive 5.
Aside from that, I don’t see any nice vita games (aside from MGS, not really vita though.)
[just sharing :D]
Okay! One thing I forgot to mention!
I would like to get that bubble hack thing, that would be a nice step up!
Rather than getting into the pool game, save game exploit and stuff.
It’s not a big pain but it would be a nice update – if there’s a way for me to safely do that, then that would be great!
If I must mention, I’m not big on the online thing and connecting to the internet with the vita, but I guess the only problems are the game firmware security blocks (like that *** on the psp before)
Wohoo this is really interesting. I was forced to update to 3.36 because I play games on Japanese PSN that require update in order to play and I don’t have hacked vita however I have temporary CF on PSP. If this hack would need hacked PSP only (which I reaaaaly doubt) then It would be revolutionary + if it was unpatchable… I would be able to make it work on any vita firmware… but I doubt this is possible 😀
exciting
so also possible with a playstation TV on eCFW i guess, sounds great but since the webkit exploit might have a future ill wait and stay on 3.18 & 3.20. Keep up the good work Qwikrazor! Its crazy how many things you release!
Vale a pena ficar na 3.18? Pois tenho jogos que gostaria de baixar da PLUS atualmente.
