This is not a drill
Alright people, Qwikrazor’s ePSP exploit on PS Vita firmware 3.36 and 3.50 is just around the corner, and today we announce the game you need to buy in order to leverage his exploit.
Let me use this article to remind you once again that this is not the most convenient exploit in the world, as it requires a second device. We have answered many questions about this limitation in a FAQ I posted a couple days ago, so please do read it. Do not go and buy the game without understanding the limitations that come with this release.
With that being said, this exploit will give you access to a full fledged ePSP CFW on your Vita.
Today we’ll only announce the name of the exploited game. The actual files will come in a few days. Historically, we’ve proceeded this way to add some doubt into Sony’s mind about the fact that the hack is real or not, in order to buy us some time before they take action. This has usually not been very successful, but for the sake of tradition we keep going with the same pattern.
The game is Pool Hall Pro, also known as World of Pool in EU
Yes, this is not a typo: a bug was found yet again in a game that has already been exploited several times before.
To my knowledge, the game is only available in the US and EU stores. There is no guarantee the exploit works on JP or Asia stores.
A quick note: if you’re on the fence, Qwikrazor has stated that the US version is more stable than the EU one. For those of you who have two accounts, or were considering getting a US account, now might be the time. You can buy US PSN codes at no extra cost even if you don’t live in the US, by following these simple steps.
We expect Sony to remove the game from their online store within 48h, as they usually do. Get it now if you want the hack, don’t complain later if you missed the window. Be sure to have the game downloaded and installed on your vita. Having it in your download list is not enough.
but if i downloaded the game and after sony remove the game of the psn im continue with them in my account?
or no?
As long as you have the game installed on your Vita, you’ll be fine.
Excelente…comprado y descargado a mi ps vita fw 3.36… vamos a ver q pasa luego luego…
I have psTV 2.x japan should i update to 3.50?
No stay on 3.36, it is better for the hack.
Stay at or below 3.18 if at all possible. There might be ways to get native Vita code running on higher firmwares, the only confirmed requires 3.18 or below.
I hope another game exploit get’s released, I’ve done everything I could to buy the game but it doesn’t let me.
I cannot download the game on the PSP with 6.60 I tried media go and network downloader. It’s asking for an update .Does anyone know what should I do?
Cant we just download a iso file from anywhere else and just hv it on ur psp memory stick?
Don’t know, I recommend you to buy it, Sony will remove it.
first you need to be sure you have cfw installed on your psp, if that’s done: justo download an ISO from internet and put it on your psp in ISO folder .
Hi, will I need to install the game onto my PSP(hacked) as well?
yes. In my case I had to upgrade to 6.61 in order to download it and then I downgraded to 6.61.
Okay, but will an ISO work instead of the PSN version. I don’t want to lose the CFW I’m running on my PSP?
It would have been funny to have this posted on April 1. Also im more curious about PS Vita game backups, from what I understood on another post there is a way to make them. What I would like to know about this is what format these game uses? If game fan-translation seem possible sometime in the future? As of now I got rid of my Vita cause too many good games tend to stay in Japan and when they reach the west they usually have bad voice actors. I just hope this device gets craked up soon so translations and undubing starts getting done sometime in the future.
there’s no way yet to make ps vita game backups, they’re still just in the ecfw.
and IF you make a psvita game backup of the psvita game cards, it would be unreadable and not playable, since the coding is still not known….
How can I dl the new exploit by using the blocking the update. I read that I need to sign in online. Im still using the account on my used vita the previous owner had so I can keep using the games I payed for. Is there a way for me to dl the game. Now I do have a psp on 6.60pro if it helps. I want 2 try and dl this tonight before it gets taken down. Any help is welcomed.
So far what i see os that the exploit must br installed onto the psvita itself,
Is there a necessity to downloadit from psn and hv hv it installed onto the psp too? Since there isnt any specification for that
ok i will not update my PSTV 2.x japan version to 3.50, the only way i could update/activate this is through PS3 and openCMA right no other way? Even vita update proxy is not working anymore.
give us file system guys 😀
I have ps vita v3.50
and psp v6.61
do i need to download and install that game with psp too?
and i have only one psn account.
ISO/CSO will work too
I have psvita 3.36. Bought in store and downloaded. Without problems

1) On your pc go to the playstation store and buy the game
2) go to https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com chose your game and donwnload the xpd file
3) edit it with notepad and copy the link: http://zeus.dl.playstation.net……..
4) download the pkg file
5) install the pkg on your ps3
5) copy the pkg from your ps3 to the psvita
6) enjoy 🙂
im currently in 3.36 and i forgot to copy some psp games in my vita but suddenly, there is an update and the CMA require me to update my ps vita. i just wanna know if there is some way to bypass this so that i can transfer my save data to ps vita? or the only solution is to update it and get a new exploit?

Thank you and bless you 😀
I keep seeing the comments of: why do people keep upgrading their FW, and I’m surprised at their confusion, so I’m hoping someone can explain it to me.
Don’t newer games require newer FW? Even on the digital-only games? So isn’t it always a balancing act between playing older games and playing newer Vita games? (Putting aside the issue of newer games coming out worth playing? I am looking very forward to Persona 4 Dancing All Night.)
i have 2 vitas, one os running tn-v @fw2.30 ( i think) is there any advantage to staying at such a low fw or should i upgrade . i will still keep my other vita running ofw, i also have a modded psp2000 to trigger the exploit. thanks!
Ok, if I have ARK2 and VHBL…do I really need this? Is this for people who missed the Patapon and Numblast chances…I would really appreciate if some one can reply. Thank you
I’m guessing that the exploit has something to do with multiplayer functionality (Hence why you can’t use E1000), and I’m assuming that you have to enter addresses into NitePR or something else in order to get this to work… Why else would you need CFW on the PSP?
I will be sure to try and see if you can do this without a second Vita/PSP and just use a PSP emulator to get the trick done… Hopefully you can, I really want my homebrew back.
Why was my comment deleted? *** Wololo, I only said that I might try to do this with a PC and Vita. -.-
Your email address and the name you used contained some word that is considered as “offensive” by the antispam mechanism.
Is it possible to use ppsspp on the other device? ppsspp is also capable of adhoc wifi.
so ive been jumping through hoops following tutorials and guides installing programs but im sadly not getting the result i want so im gonna try asking now.
Im trying to download pool hall pro onto my 3.18 fw ps vita
A lot of people have said that you need a ps3 but what exactly is the process and do you need to bee on an OFW or CFW because i keep running into ‘update your ps vita’ messages
Ive already purchased the game and tried the ‘download queue’ method but nothing seems to happen on my vita. It is or was registered to my psn(i say was because its been on a low FW for a while and i cant view my PSN settings to verify its correct without updating) that i bought the game with. I tried resetting and playing around with the wifi and airplane mode but that didnt change anything so i looked for another solution.
I tried this guide http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=41217 but i hit a snag when i couldnt access the psn store at all due to my FW being to low. tried to update to Rebug 4.70.1 but i keep getting corrupted messages, tried redownloading the update file but that didnt work either. I dont want to update my 3.18 vita because it seems that the exploit requires an extra step and i want to keep the other vita for online capabilities. Id appreciate any help or ideas because i cant seem to get anywhere despite having all the right tools and since ive already bought the game i dont want this exploit to fly past because i couldnt figure out what to do in time.
The tools at my disposal are: A PS VITA 2001 running FW 3.50, A PS VITA 1001 running FW 3.18, A PS3 CECHA01 running CFW REBUG 4.46 , Another PS3 CECH3001A running OFW 4.70
Try a different ps3 tutorial. I believe most people do it with an updated OFW ps3 which you have access to. I think it goes… Download game to ps3-> connect vita to PC with QCMA->Put vita into standby mode (press power button)->plug it into ps3 and turn vita back on try to transfer. Sorry I am not 100% sure how it works as I don’t have a ps3. Also… you better hurry!
Thanks for the idea but unfortunately that method you described doesnt work. I assume it’s because there’s something telling my vita that’s it’s not on the latest OFW cause even with my pc running qcma the vita refuses to connect(well it ‘connects’ but won’t allow any activity) even tried turning off my PCs WiFi, I get a ‘could not connect to pc’ message. I also tried the tutorial here http://www.guidingtech.com/33939/transfer-games-hacked-ps-vita/ with no results.
Of there’s anyone with ideas or suggestions I’m all ears
I am running OFW 3.36 i used this guide http://wololo.net/2014/03/28/content-on-ps-vita-without-updating-using-proxy-or-a-ps3/
to add the game to my ps vita
Dont use CFW on PS3 and try again.
Got a PS4 for my birthday, not to mention a PSV bubble exploit. How did Qwikrazor know the 4th was my birthday? ;^)
I dont have a vita yet, but my vita will be delivered from amazon soon (2-3 days)
I have bought and downloaded Pool Hall Pro on my PS3 and PSP .
Is their a way to transfer the game from my PS3 to my vita once i get it ?? Help please
*UPDATE Pool Hall is still up and can be downloaded.
I transferred pool hall from my Ps3 to my vita bypassing the update requirements, Vita was in Flight mode and the PS3 was offline
http://www.guidingtech.com/33939/transfer-games-hacked-ps-vita/
^this worked. After the system restarts press the notifications and double tap on the game and it installs bypassing the update screen
DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR UPCOMMING FILES TO USE THE POOL HALL PRO EXPLOIT, OR CAN I DO IT NOW?
