PS Vita: Piracy getting closer, or just another dev leak?
Rumors are surfacing from the Chinese side of the PS Vita scene. Someone allegedly released a .vpk file of official game Tokyo Xanadu, decrypted. A download link for the Japanese version of the game appeared on Chinese forums a few hours ago, and apparently the game runs on Hacked Vitas through HENkaku.
The file is big (more than 2GB), and according to the author of the release, VitaShell is not able to install it. However, manually unzipping the vpk file and copying the files at the right location on the memory card allows people to run the game, DRM free.
A similar release happened a few weeks ago, with game Adventure Time. It was later confirmed that that specific release was a leak from a development console, of the DRM-free version of the game. In the case of game Tokyo Xanadu, at this point, it is too early to say if this release is also a developer leak, or if someone found a way to decrypt PS Vita game binaries. However the author claims he/she is able to dump any cartridge requiring firmware 3.60 or below.
We at wololo.net have not verified that this release is actually real and that the game indeed runs. Comments from trusted Chinese scene sites however seem to indicate that the release is real and the game does runs on HENkaku enabled Vitas. This would make it the first decrypted PS Vita game release, but for now this needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
For obvious reasons I cannot link to the source here. Thanks to the people who contacted me about this though, and thanks for the screenshots.
Here’s my theory
Someone in the dev leak the full game
And of course the other dev knew it and decided to not release tokyo xanadu eX+ on vita ever again
Kinda simple lol
No idea how to install this, just gets an error when I install the VPK. I heard theres a separate smaller VPK along with the full game, is that true?
follow this thread its in spanish just translate:

1.) Just install the vpk
2.) Rename the .vpk to .rar
3.) copy the Files in the rar via FTP to the Vita (I don’t know the exact location something U00787665)
I have no use of pirated games on PS Vita. I’d even pay double pruce for a decent game. PS Vita needs no pirated games, it just needs *** games.
Never heard about this game thanks for info
Oh I see its not available in Europe and probably never will be so $ony and or falcom f*ck you hope its got translated patch by scene
Yes I know i can import the game also but why? its too expensive and I dont understand the game in japanese anyways so Im happy with this release HENKAKU READY so i can fully test the game yeah jackpot not like adventure time not many peoples need the game its cheap and available everywhere THANKS scene this are the games we need released by scene for ps vita
The game actually has a demo on Japanese PSN, and is getting an official English release in early 2017 via Aksys Games.
Better fackin’ be getting closer.
If really this was dumped from the cart, I think they had released another game. Its been 3 days after the release and there is no other decrypted game
be patient young padawan
I’ll believe them if they release a working YS VIII/Persona 4 golden dump. Even if they don’t publish their *method*
Turns out that it was just another DRM free copy.
Need to wait for yifanlu to release the source code or no 変革whats so ever on vita will occour
where did you hear that?
source
Its working for my vita. Tnks for the upload dud
Decrypted patch v1.04 can be founded for this game now…
