Apparently we're on twitter tooWhat is it?
Vita Half-Byte Loader is a project to port the PSP homebrew loader HBL to the Playstation Vita, through the PSP emulator on the Playstation Vita.
For the latest news about Vita Half Byte Loader, check the VHBL Category on this blog.
Half-Byte Loader (HBL) is an open source Homebrew Loader for the Sony PSP and the PS Vita. It allows to play fan-made games on any PSP up to firmware 6.60, and on the Vita up to firmware 1.80. HBL allows to run emulators for the Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Sega Megadrive, NES, Super NES… and many other applications.
Disclaimer
- VHBL does not technically allow you to play any pirated PSP or Vita games.
- Although VHBL is free and open source, the current version relies on vulnerabilities in specific PSP games that you need to buy from the PSN. VHBL comes with no guarantee, especially I cannot guarantee it will work on your Vita, so remember that you pay for a PSP game, and not for anything else. I do not do refunds for the money you gave to Sony
- It is super easy for Sony to patch the vulnerabilities used by this tool, given the amount of control they have on the PS Vita. Depending on your game, VHBL runs fine on firmware 1.80, but for all I know it is possible for Sony to patch the game’s vulnerability without a firmware update. So, once again, before buying the game and downloading VHBL, you need to understand that you pay for the game, and VHBL is a bonus that might or might not work
Downloads
- Apache Overkill (up to firmware 2.06)
- Monster Hunter (up to firmware 1.80)
- Super Collapse 3 (up to firmware 1.67)
- Motorstorm Arctic Edge (Motorstorm Raging Ice) (up to firmware 1.61)
- Everybody’s Tennis (Minna No Tennis) (up to firmware 1.61)
Sony’s strategy so far has been to remove these games from their store, and put them back once the Vita firmware is patched. Most likely, if you didn’t buy the vulnerable game(s) in time, you will not be able to run VHBL. But we are regularly bringing more exploits to VHBL, so stay tuned on this page for further updates.

??? sow wot happening with vhbl
-
Search for ninja release
-
-
Wol is waiting to release VHBL until his public release of the exploited game. Should be soon.
-
Actually the game was pulled of the store soooo
-
-
Cat wat he dos some grat work
-
Can’T
-
wait, does, great.
-
You’re a dick.
-
-
-
Great, I know which game it is but I don’t know how to install the VHBL xD.
PS: Don’t ask me, won’t spread it.
-
-
that has nothing to do with anything.
-
That’s an old exploit.
-
-
i’m actually confused about what to do… i love monster hunter freedom unite, but i played for very long time into my psp.. at this point of vhbl nothing serious for my ps vita it’s made yet, and, i really don’t see how this vhbl could be found so interesting if not for developers trying to make the match goal. that’s why i think i’ll pass this time. since vhbl can’t run psp games, i think i’m going to pass. and like me other thous of guys. my best wishes is to see soon announced a psvloader into psv kernel, or a good made psp iso launcher into vhbl. that would be amazing value for the ps vita scene, and users like me would’t wait a sec more to hack their vita
-
So pirating eh? This is why sony want to take VHBL Down, because they want to stop it before pirating with it happens. There may not be another VHBL If people think like this.
-
you’re right! but what can i do? this is my opinion, and like me lot people want to see this coming.. and even without piracy, believe me, sony would like to shut VHBL down anyway. i trust that might be coming out some other interesting homebrew, such as cool emulators, not only psp isoloader. but that is number 1
and even if wololo wont work on it, surely someone else is doing that right now, and someway and somewhen will be out you know..-
Maybe so, but still, the main reason Sony wants VHBL gone for good is chance of piracy. If there is no piracy on the platform in the near future, then they won’t care about taking it down. There is no excuse for Pirating (Except older games) and there never will be.

when comes the vhbl for monster hunter united??!!!?!
-
Seriously dude, stop, you’re getting on my nerves
-
Tell me about it wololo, he leaked the game 2 days before your front page post. I tried to get the attention of the mods but by the time i did you had already released it publicly. I was just browsing the forums and came across it. Unlike him i respect you and all that you do for the scene. I bow to you my friend, you and your site are awesome. Keep up the good work. I cant wait to see what the future holds for us!

@Fabian: Looks like Wololo shut your ass down. Lol
-
people are rude, impatient, and refuse to read ALL the given information. its sad @fabian hasnt walked into traffic for failing to read street lights

Game: Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Files download: Soon
To get prepared though, install open CMA So you can Open CMA With no internet, helping your chances of it working. -
What the eff is up with these people asking the same old retarded question or pointless comments.
“I don’t have the games! ):”
“WHEN IS 1.80 COMING OUTTTT?”
“Can I use VHBL without/with other games?”
Seriously guys, keep an eye on the site and stop bitching. -
I’ve had the game a couple days now, got bored, tried playing it, failed, waiting for files to play SNES games lol
-
lol, I know, I wanna play meh super metroid!
-
-
Seriously though, what’s the reason the files aren’t released yet? The game was publicly announced, and the exploit has been tested before, so why not just make VHBL available for download already?
-
If you are so impatient learning programming yourself and make a vbhl for yourself until then be respectful of other peoples hard work and stop complaining
-
-
If you want to play emulators badly, order a Caanoo or something from eBay. WAY better than annoying the big W and delaying the inevitable vhbl files release.
-
sorry if this was answered before or not, but if i dont have cma installed on my pc yet (sorry jus never needed to use it.) can i still install it now and use open cma? thanks much ^_^
-

-
-
If you are on Windows 7, then you have to run the “run.bat” file as administrator. (right click > run as administrator)
-
-

-
S0NY took a while this time lol
-
It says “System Undergoing Maintenance” when I try to login to the US store
-
that’s because they’re doing maintenance for 14 hours today
-
-
-
Thank you for all the nice work. Have already donated to the Red Cross several times and what I donate is far more valuable to them than just money.
-
hey wololo i need to know how to put the games on deadalus64?? plzz help me
-
Rom folder in the INSTALL.zip, just place in the roms
-
-
Thank you Wololo for the new VHBL, i now tested with snes9x and some rom, works great!! Really amazing
Waiting for some new cool homebrews now -
hi,got a little trouble,can someone say me how to put books in my psv to read them with bookr,i’m newbie,so waiting for your help)
-
Yeah to put books on your bookr they have to be in .pdf first and if you have to get a converter to make it .pdf, you then take the .pdf book and put it in the bookr file where the EBOOT is located, from there you archive it as INSTALL.ZIP under ‘store’ option, place that into your psp savedate folder on your copmputer and vhbl should download the homebrew within the ps vitas vhbl ->save data<- option on the handheld.
-
-
Hey wololo im having problems installing homebrews, was wondering if u could post a video or tell me how im really lost.
-
Where can you download the source for Monster Hunter FReedom Unite VHBL?
-

how to delete roms/homebrew from vhbl?
-
What happens when a new firmware is released and a new exploit is found that requires a new game? Will we still be able to use our monster hunter game and the newest vhbl or will we continuously need to keep buying psp games that have exploits in them? Is vhbl updated to include the past game exploits but for the current firmware as long as you downloaded the game before it was patched?
