Vitamin: Team FreeK teases Vita Game dumper (video)
An unknown group named Team FreeK teased a game decryption tool for the Playstation Vita. The tool is nicknamed Vitamin, and allegedly allows the hacking group to dump decrypted versions of PS Vita official games.
The Video shows a system dumping video game Geometry Wars, on a retail PS Vita running HENkaku. The video does not show the game running after the decryption process though.
Vitamin: is this real?
Under other circumstances, I would use a huge dose of skepticism on such a video announce. After all, this could be a semi-elaborate prank involving a simple homebrew that just spits out text on the PS Vita screen.
However, the dumping process shown on the video, and in particular the name of the dumping application, matches what I have been shown by a group of hackers recently.
It is extremely unclear here if Team FreeK are the people behind the homebrew, or if the tool got leaked to some people who are just trying to get some quick fame. In the past, other hackers have used various names to release new tools, such as Dark Alex in the PSP days when he created the M33 Custom Firmware, pretending to be a collective of Russian hackers.
The video says no word on a release. For now, please take this information as a rumor until something more consistent shows up. In the meantime, you can check their video below:

Plugins!!! Oh I wanted this so much to happen, for me the best thing of the PSP scene was the huge number of useful plugins it had, can’t wait to see them working on PSV
if this is real … where are the other dumps ?
It looks very ‘real’, but i am kinda confused on the quality of the dumper, it doesn’t looks like a 1 months work more like 6 months
There is something very uneasy about all of this. It’s difficult to say for sure if it’s fake or not at this point, but I just get the vibe that there is a high possibility that this could well be a publicity stunt.
The video is private how can i watch it
This is what you need for psp games to be native on the machine with out a home brew loader. This is awesome thanks guys!!
Wololo has confirmed its real @ Twitter
Link bro
hey wololo
look at this. person on twitter uploaded this pic.
seems like this vid is fake

when implementing the time, they could have not taken account for timezone differences on the vita, and maybe the app is hardcoded for a different time zone, seeing as how it is almost exactly 5 hours off
thata a vitashell issue, you can test it yourself
I do not think that proves its fake as it was made exactly 5 hours later so vitamin could just give it the wrong timestamp
The time format from shell is 24-Hour Clock and his system is 12-hour clock. That’s why it’s different.
It has different time format. Create a folder and look at the time.
If this is for real , it would be one of the greatest and happiest moments ever.
It seems to be real, Just watched another Team Freek full video showing Vitamin Plugin Hello World.
The full video including the running of the game is here. The one posted here is cut at the end. If this ain’t real it’s a crazy good fake. https://t.co/3Gy2iodoQB
There is another video, uncut this time here

seems legit to me, yay.
Now the waiting game….. Will they release it or will we be waiting for a leak?
@Wololo can you please (with your version of the tool) check app.db and see if there’s a * (asterisk) behind eboot.bin after the path in app.db when it’s ready? That’s what being said on Reddit but it seems strange as after installation nothing gets done.

What is this?
Just something we are putting together so that when things are ready for dumping/decrypting, we can get going.
Ah, sweet!
Cool. I’ll add a few myself. Thanks.
why no release???
without tool it’s not REAL…..
yes where is gravity rush?
I find your logic hilarious
still waiting for psp and ps1 emulator 🙂
Decryption my *** all it’s doing is dumping the game while it’s being run; it’s a great way to get the game before it gets encrypted. Nice. 🙂
I think the application hooks on to the RAM process of the game and then dumps it from memory which is a pretty slick way to evade encryption all together.
Feel it won’t be long before this tool is released considering the slow stream of dumps already surfacing… Odin Sphere, Binding of Isaac etc.
Why don’t they release a game for proof? I guess probably reasons i don’t know.
Hmmm can this dump psp game (drools)
Been refreshing woololo page for months to see if vita/ps4 gets hacked. Especially for the release of the game dumper today i have refreshed multiple times when am at work. Seriously cant wait 🙁
Do something- enthusiast sitting with a vita on 3.60 firmware(henkake installed) and 8 favourite game catridges waiting to be dumped on a 32gig card ready 🙂
It just got leaked reddit is going crazy
It’s officially real. Vitamin was leaked and being used in the wild!
