It's still impressive though, but for analysis only. With little interest already on the vita, I doubt anyone is willing to learn a new tool/language that is very limited and write code that will be useless when a native exploit comes out. (I mean lots of emulator is based on porting code over. With this you have no choice but to write everything from scratch. No standard libraries at all)
Ah true, but this is a case of "let's use what we for have now instead of mouring what we don't have" as he himself put it.
A lot more can and needs to be done, but while we keep digging we might as well release something to allow certain degree of coding capabilities.

I think rop is great but I just want expectations to be clear. OP was wondering if ROP can be used to make an N64 emulator and the answer is flatly no.

yeah the limitations and goals of the webkit exploit is something I need to clear out in the blog. I feel most people expect it to be able to fully use the Vita's hardware when this is sadly not the case.

Fleshing out some of the limitations of the webkit exploit in a blog post would be greatly appreciated, so that people have realistic expectations about what to expect.
