“Welcome Park” PS Vita app decrypted – Mr.Gas and Major_Tom are at it again!
[Update from wololo: several people have contacted me, and voiced their opinion in the comments about some of the statements that were made in this article. Some statements were about the EML Trick being used to run this hack (which was not true), others about where the Welcome Park app was located and how the hack could lead to Memory card swapping. These have been called out as unverified claims, or plain wrong. I do not have the time right now to verify those myself and reword the article correctly, so I found that the best course of action was to remove the dubious statements. Thanks for your understanding and apologies.]
Mr.Gas and Major_Tom are at it again!
Many things have gone on in the past few weeks and here’s the progress 😀
Just yesterday Mr.Gas released a welcome park file that he and Major_Tom decrypted. At first glance this file may not seem like much but after a few seconds of searching the files proves that it is apparently possible to decrypt the pd0:/ and gain access to files that were never previously publicly accessible.
In the data directory of the file there is a very eye catching folder called “guidemovie” which has a .mp4 file titled “movie”, this could potentially create a new trailer/guide video for let’s say a custom bubble? 😀

First! Nice work
FIRST!!1!1
gotta love the new things we are seeing for the Vita. good work everyone (from the guys doing the work, to the guys showing the work, like lolo)
thanks
Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing what this leads to in the future =)
Reminds me of Gameboots from psp lol.
sorry, but isn’t it illegal to post copyrighted material?
I put the wololo logo on the images myself
Are you an idiot?
Haha he’s talking about the Welcome park files. They’re copyrighted to sony, since it’s their code. But Wololo approved the article, so I’m sure there’s no legal issues. Probably because it’s only linking to the files, Wololo isn’t hosting them himself.
We’re not hosting the files. If there’s a problem with them, dropbox will remove them
Dropbox already removed them
So they can’t be taken without permission of wololo
really good work i hope sony catch a fits.lol
its great keep up to good work guys
Good to sse that in a news but i think they are some mistaken inside !.

It’s clearly not possible to do that wth the EML Writ Tricks , Mr Gas and TomTom use another tricks ( tool for decrypt) with aren’t public.
And its not “possible to decrypt the ux0:/” with eml nor “retrieve files from the memory card, such as welcome park” because they are not located on the memory card and you can’t “retrieve” with EML at all?!! This article is the biggest *** and misinforming all readers..
First article for a new blogger here, please give him some time to get used to the tech savvy audience, this will improve. and my bad for not double-checking the article before publishing.
Additionally it neither “is possible to decrypt the ux0:/” nor “retrieve files from the memory card, such as welcome park” via EML. (And Welcome Park isn’t located on the memory card at all). This article is just wow..
Congrats on your first post 🙂
Error (429)
This account’s public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!
This sounds like a big fake! Also good job Frostegater!!!
Nope, I got the files myself earlier today and I can confirm it looks real
You are aware dropbox has a download cap right?
Now 404 BIG Big big fake!!
Also thanks Coldbird to get psx sound
Good video (thumbs up).
Next updateeee
Remove Welcome park apps
Iunno if you can tell Mr. Gas this, but Dropbox is a terrible option for hosting files. Especially popular ones. It has a limit of 25GB of traffic a day (month?), and once you reach it, you’re pretty much locked out of using links for a few days.
The gates are open, something great is coming.
Multiple accounts via Memory Card swap ? Would be awesome ! One of my wishes ! Hopefully, latest 3.52 FW spoofer for FW 3.18 ? Custom themes ? Give it all to me ! FEE ME MORE WOLOLO !
I meant FEED ME MORE !
Agree, those functionalities are like those I’m the most waiting on. xD
Keeping my fingers crossed for Pirated Games
Me too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
you are both idiots then
Wild IP_WHITE_KNIGHT appeared!
They would rather use their Vita than letting it collect the dust, what’s wrong with giving a paperweight some use?
Geez I dunno, maybe buy and support the few remaining devs keeping the platform on life support?
To be honest, I kinda am hoping for pirated games too, but only because I can’t afford to buy the few games I want to play for the Vita that I don’t already own, and because Sony really isn’t giving me a reason to care about Vita support any more than they do. The only people that would lose sales on the Vita already have their games on other consoles that sell more copies on those platforms anyway.
Keep it to yourself then, man. Really.
There’s nothing to do with ux0 decryption or writing to it .. actually the game located in pd0 witch make it hard to get
plz reup^^
File deleted…
Good good very very very Good!!
404 Error. Looks like it was removed afterall.
Damn That Sony Employee…. we spotted you….
Hi everyone, if you could please immediately delete the Welcome Park app, we’ve discovered an instability that could cause issues with your PS Vita system. Just go ahead and remove it, and….oh wait, what? It can’t be deleted? Ok, everyone, please forget that the Welcome Park app exists, visit a hypnotist if necessary, we are working on firmware 3.53 which will remove this offending app!
Lol I’m sure that this guy exist
@Mr.Gas can you tell us what you have REALLY done with welcome park app, I don’t understand anything in this article, because this is not on memory card so what can you do with this ?
I apologize for the typos (I wrote the article on my phone so it replaces everything I type with previously typed text)… the welcome park files are in the pd0:/ directory and the files were dumped. The sad thing is the files aren’t able to be brought back in the vita through CMA.
and its not decrypted like ( eboot.bin -> eboot.elf)
it’s only without pfs protection
@Mr.Gas How did you dump the files of the vita or is it private work?
Ok thanks for clarifying, and sorry I offend you, it’s was not the goal 😉 so cool to see things like this on Vita
New dumped welcome park file download link available

thx^^
oh yeah, memory card swapping that sounds GREAT
another ridiculous restriction from sony removed
how install welkome park killerclaw??
If your on the ps vita it’s on there by default… there is no way to install it . I belive there is not welcome park for pstv
clickbait article is clickbait
I may ask some really stupid questions here, (not even really realted to this topic..) soooo, it just came to my mind, that what if we could install vhbl, or anything like that, without an exploit game, just like the way we could “install” psm unity with savedata and eml trick… Coukd this work by any chance?
Sorry if I sound kind of Trololo Mr. KillerCat…but, I am not a programer, I just download the files, check them, but I wonder, now, how to run this hack? what do I do with them, since Welcome park is arleady on my vita, and these are dump files, since EML trick does not work with this, even QCMA (at least I couldn’t), how I get running this?…thanks in advance and congrats!
This file is not meant to be run I mentioned that it can not be copied to the vita because it’s a stock application, this is more of a proof of concept.
The download itself is just hands on proof that dumping files from the pd0:/ directory is possible and to kind of let people’s thoughts and ideas direct them to kind of have a heads up as to what may be coming next
Thanks KillerClaw, now I got it, thanks for your patience on answering this…then I have to wait to see what is coming.
I just want to swap memcard with a networked connected 2TB pc lol .
like followingpackages
ps4 hddlinkassignpc
ps3 hddlinkassignpc
psp mcassignpc
psvita mcassignpc
psvitatv mcassignpc
and doing like it worked on a psp before …
psplinknet or psplinkwifi in nethostmode with assignhost.prx
and a couple of commando’s or a gui to send the cmd’s
mutch like ps3 proxy only this not let u swap downloads
but the entire mc or hdd lol .
does it sound like a firmware update or as a new exploit series ?
sony linknet+assignhost (ps4 ps3 psvita psp)
now to find suitable names ?
can the same be done via webkit ? ifso teach me lol
Looking at the trophy data right now
@mr gas : did your trick can lead to have other files in pd0:/ ? do you think that it’s possible to decrypt them one day ? Btw great job guys, It’s really amazing to see progress on the Vita, and thanks for sharing with us
yes .. not only pd0 but also os0,vs0,ur0,ux0,gro0,grw0,vd0,tm0,sa0
and it’s only welcome park is encrypted with pfs ..
I see … step by step the Vita is falling, thanks a lot for your reply man
Is there a way to encrypt back again to be able to modify the video ?
KillerClaw…? Same KillerClaw I know (knew?) from GI Forums?
