Also tried with NUMBLAST and Persona 2 with the same exact results as the others have already posted.
For the record, ARK works on lower firmwares (we've tested it as low as 1.81 and most stuff works, some bugs here and there but works overall), the problem here is the certloader kernel exploit that requires loading all net utilities, which requires enough free space, and some games don't have that much (most of them don't), so we're battling with it to come up with a solution to free memory that would work on all games AND not make ARK.BIN too big or else it'll crash on the scratchpad. This is specially complicated due to the second factor, we're working with 16KB of scratchpad ram, and we gotta fit both code and data in it, if we go over just one byte, it'll crash.
That is impressive, you have my newly found respect once again. I'll be here to test on my three exploit games if/once you release more.

Thank you!

like I said, it's possible if the game allows for two saves, some time ago I made an app called multiBootCFW that allowed you to have both at the same time, but it hasn't been updated in a while so I don't know if it's gonna work today.

thanks a lot for this. it's great to see progress in eCFW scene. i value this more over a native Vita hack, as right now Vita library is nowhere near the PSP library.

I've uploaded a new build. This one has been confirmed working on 2.60 with Arcade Darts and Jewel Keepers, so it should pretty much work on any firmware with any game.
