Can someone clarify the 1mb limitation of the current VHBL?

[Elwood89]

Hello!

My question is:

Does the 1mb limit apply to:

a.) the size of the INSTALL.ZIP file
b.) the size of the actual program inside the INSTALL.ZIP file (ex. EBOOT.PBP)
c.) both "a" AND "b".

Thank you!

That is what I was afraid of... thanks for the answer anyway!

Wow, glad I bumped into this thread. I heard the FTP client at least boots, which I could find very helpful if it were to actually work. The EBOOTs should still be able to handle other files over 1MB though, right? I've seen GBA roms running on emulators running 3.52. It's definitely a pretty tough obstacle. I updated my brand new Vita Slim from 3.15 because I had no clue you could use a PS3 to download and install Vita games from the store. I had a Vita 1000 before selling it, so I still had digital games on my account and I wanted them back. At least Zett on YouTube confirmed that bubbles to launch emulators are working on 3.52 so it relieves my pain just a little, so I can have a homebrew folder on my home menu instead of having to launch Pool every time. It'll be easy to refrain updating my Vita since none of my friends use it. Whenever a friend wants to use a console I own, they'll update because of the online barrier. Doesn't really bother me because I prefer homebrew on portable anyway. The Vita will be a beast of a homebrew system once it kicks into gear.

The things The Zett has shown on those videos (3.52 bubbles) are not available to the public. You must use the pool exploit every time you want to launch homebrew and the pool exploit's VHBL is limited to only opening 1MB files at a time.

I was already aware of that being unavailable to the public, but I don't think he'll keep it for himself for too long, because that's definitely convenient.

The 1MB limit is a huge bummer though.

I've not had problems when it comes to the size of the homebrews I install for the VHBL.
