Frostbite engine doesn’t run on the Wii U, and they’re developing a mobile version of the engine also, there’s been a fake PS4 E3 video, and Nvidia’s project shield has been named, with price and full specs!

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that the Vita is not performing well in the marketplace. The prevailing public opinion seems to be that “there aren’t any games for it,” and that “it is too expensive.” Are these claims true? The purpose of this article is to examine the Vita, and to determine its strengths (and weaknesses) and how Sony could shore up sales of the Vita. Read the rest of this entry »
Almost one year ago, I announced that Wagic was put on hold. Although we haven’t made a release in a year, our devs and community have been busy adding features and cards regularly. None of the members of the core dev team have the time to drive a full “beta test + release” process anymore, but it doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be any more release. Therefore, I’ve decided to open a thread on the Wagic forums where people can regularly submit builds from the SVN. “By the community, for the community”.

Well, we have some rather exciting news to share! Read the rest of this entry »
Those of you who hare expecting a hack of the Wii U might have been expecting news from the fail0verflow hacking team recently. In one of his rare (but always insightful) blog posts, fail0verflow’s Marcan gave his opinion on the future of console hacking and homebrew in general, as well as the current status (and in depth details) of fail0verflow’s Wii U hack. Assuming his opinion of the current status of console hacking is shared by many hackers, the future of homebrew is not really bright.

After receiving my $20 PSN card from Sony for no apparent reason, spending it all, and then find a sweet deal on the ratchet and clank collection US store, I was determined to get some more credit to buy the collection. I wasn’t sure how to though. So after some research, I found a few websites like the ones I have listed below and will be showing you what I found!
Earlier today, official firmware 2.12 for the PS Vita was released. According to Sony, this update “improves software stability during use of some features” which could mean anything from “we actually fixed some customer-impacting bugs” to “we patched an exploit”, but as far as I could tell, current known (but undisclosed) exploits have not been patched by this update.
We’ve mentioned hacker YifanLu several times on this blog, being that he is one of the handful of people believed to be in possession of a “native” vita hack (I put “native” in quotes here, as I mean per opposition to a hack in the psp emulator, but I don’t want people to assume he has a hack available in the Vita’s firmware code). Today Yifan Lu released a beta version of his new tool: a full open source alternative to Sony’s Content Manager Assistant for the Vita.

Starting with the release of pre-IPL consoles, kernel exploits have become a must in order to run CFW on our beloved PSPs. This trend passed down to the Vita in the same manner, but, are psp kernel exploits doomed to disappear?
