You just got yourself a new Playstation Vita, and are looking for a Custom Firmware solution? Then bookmark this page, as it will be kept up to date with the latest, greatest, and simplest solutions available.
Although there is currently no “native” CFW solution for the Vita, solutions exist inside the PSP emulator of the Vita, which give you various levels of homebrew/backup access.
If you can’t run any of those (either because you don’t have the right game, or because you have a recent firmware), an alternative to Custom firmwares is VHBL, assuming you are lucky enough to grab the exploited games when they get announced. VHBL is only a partial solution, as it only allows you to play a subset of PSP homebrews on the Vita.
One drawback is that all these solutions require you to purchase an “exploitable” game on the PSN when it gets announced. We regularly announce names of new exploitable games on this blog, so stay tuned if you didn’t get the games in time. In 2012 alone, 8 such game exploits were released.

Hey i was thinking and you should make cydia or something like that for the playstaion vita.And installous with a different name.Start hacking the vita like a ipod…I think this is a very good idea and would like a reply if possible.All playstaion vita tittles would be so easy to download and install with no problems…not having to worry about pluging into computer when you can just use wifi.
-
Would be nice but in order to do any of that we need to figure out how to gain root access for the vita itself so until someone finds an expoilt to grant super permissions thats a no go
-
what… an… idiot. a vita is not an iPod. dont expect a hack with full iso game compatibility any time soon bro.
-
There is a CFW for iso support
-
1, look how long ago I said that, way before TN-A CFE was released.
2, I was talking about Vita ISO’s, not PSP ISO’s on the Vita -_-
-
-
-
Okay think a little, Sony knows what they have been doing wrong with the psp (minus the expolits) They made it pretty damn well coded….. Either hack your PS3 and play free games or wait for CFW or VHBL. Other wise your screwed.
-
-
aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh voglio la modifica che azzz :’(
-
ma come si fa a trovare i giocchi ai qualli se possano metere hbl mi dite come fare cosi li cerco anchio grazie mille in anticipo

How can I search exloit in ps vita,
I want make something too
give me please some link… -
thx for your help..
I’m looking all game european, for some crash exploit, but for now nothing, btw I need link for some apps like psplink in ps vita cuz that old for psp its not working -
Any news on some new Vita hacks? It has been a while and it has been really quiet. Frankly I’m starting to run out of hope for this Sony brick…
-
People either need to be patient or learn how to exploit and program instead of complaining about not have a full hack yet, IMO if all you want a hack for is to pirate games then you should’ve have it if you want homebrew or even emulation just go get a PSP I bought on of Craigslist for 50
-
hey i wondering if attempts are being made at vfw for ps vita or is it all at half byte loader right now,not saying half byte loader is bad just yea a full on hacked vita would be nice
-
hey wololo, has there been any progress on vita cfw?
or 1.69 HBL or is everyone waiting for 1.80?
-
Is going to allow to run iso games
-
No. Low life pirate…
-
Well hello there mister Hypocrite ^_~
-
-
-
Is it going to allow iso games???
-
Nope. Pirate scum.
-
Pirate scum? are you fucking kidding me?
What the hell has hacking come to…Fuck off. If we had a full vita hack YES there would be some pirating, but honestly, there never would be enough pirates to kill the system… If the vita goes unhacked, there is no reason IMO, to buy one. I purchased it with the hope of getting something up to a ps2 emulator or maybe higher because the system has the power. But instead we have a million close minded 12 year olds saying “awmaigawd dun get a full vita hax kause it’ll like ruin the system herp a derp derp”.
-
Pirate scum? don’t be so f***ing prejudice!
its not pirating if said person bought the game ages ago and decided to turned it into an iso so they can emulate on another device :S
they’ve spent their money on it and want to make use out of on another system, at least they’d be getting their frigging moneys worth out of it. instead of moaning like a little b**ch.

Everyone really needs to support the developers and just buy retail games. There are plenty of deals that popup making some $10-20. We have a Vita specifically because of the developers, they need money to make great games. I really truly hope a full CFW NEVER exists; playing homebrew and stuff is fine but to any worthless “non-contributing to the world” pirates need to have some morals. Give Vita the support it needs!
-
True enough, i do admit that even the fact of getting an iso of an actual ps vita game might not be good for the future of gaming within the vita system yet your not thinking outside the box with games that are not really meant for the vita, like it was with the psp, thanks to CFW one was able to play GBA ans shit like that that was not even from sony, might be we will be able to play full FPS ocarina of time with the vita.
-
I just got done playing some Ocarina of Time on my vita with great fps. 1.80 ofw using the monster hunter exploit to load VHBL. Also works great when playing old pokemon games with the gba emulator!
-
-
The PSV has online gameplay with trophies and that’s its biggest strength in my opinion against idiots that wanna play Nintendo Sega 64, go do it on a PSP but then again, i’ve never had a PS3 and so many games are new to me for all you “port whiners”.
-
How do you install CFE TN in VITA?
-
This is what I’ve been talking about. This is what the public want.
If you want to run homebrew than you can. If you want to run backups then you can. It’s up to the individual to do what he/she wants to do with it NOT the devs which is the way it should be.
IF it can be used for piracy then thats a perk the enduser gets. WHY are the devs so against it? IF they dont want to play backups then DON’T. Just don’t stop others from doing it as its THEIR choice. -
BTW, AWESOME job Total_Noob. Always loved your work.
-
PLEASE MONSTER HUNTER COMPATIBL WITH 1.81 and 1.80 THAT WILL BE VERY GOOD
-
GOOD
-
MH3(jpn)ecfw6.60 Tn-A +Ps Vita = limitless possibilities. I just need an off day to install.I have a retarded way of reading the instructions and it always takes me the whole day. Necesito PSN POR Fa FOR!B-)
-
The new TN-B works great but it still locks up when you press and hold START to try and return to the TN-MENU in some games under some situations. 1 time I was loading the level, another game I was doing nothing in the main menu.
Sometimes if its doing nothing it works and does return. -

hi wololo, i have urbanix on my ps3, but i can’t find any way to copy it to my ps vita, i think this is my only possible way to get urbanix, so it would be awesome if you know any way, thanks
-
re-download urbanix to your ps3 but leave it in bubble form i re-peat leave it in bubble form do not install it on your ps3 and transfer it to your vita it is posible i do it all the time reply if this proccess does not work
-
-
I dint get Urbanix before sony remove it from psn
-
Fingers crossed. I very unfortunately bought my vita a few hours after the last one was pulled from the uk store. Guess i’ll hang on to my psp for a while longer.
-
I need another xploit for psvita pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
-
I had my PSVITA Pre ordered, but a week after it broke “i accidentally drop it on the ground” There goes my fucking 250$…
i’ve bought a new one yesterday, but fuck, i wish i had know about this a few weeks earlier…
-
i found a very interesting demo that you could probably use for the half byte loader its called escape plan it has a save and load feature in the demo i think you can work off that
-
Since no release is seen I am off to rooting my tablets hahaha. Flashing kernels is kinda fun unless you get a pixelated screen then you know you have a problem haha. It does make a difference when you have super permissions on a device. More than porting iOS to the Vita my guess is that an Android port would be much more efficient. Exploits are loved nonetheless
-
Hey wololo. Isn’t it possible to atleast form a crash using a PNG or TIFF image.? Please reply.
-
I am 1 of the millions that didn’t get mad blocker / urbanix, what can I do to make sure I don’t miss the next 1
-
can i do anything with MHFU?
-
Only on fw 1.80

-

Good job !
Thank you very much!!! -
Hi, I’m an extremely newbie for PS vita. I just want know 4 things. Please be nice I am a newbie. I am thinking to buy a vita depending on if I can get free games. I live in a really poor background. I’ve worked 2 months just to get enough money for a vita. And now that i got the Money i want to know these stuff. Please be nice. I was endless entertainment from my PS vita. I want to be able to play any games out there without the need to change consoles. Because I don’t have any other consoles. This will be my first. Thank you. <3
1. Will there be CFW like PSP one.
2. Which website is a good update resource for me. I mean where can I keep track on what going on.
3. Is there a way to play PSP games on PS vita right now?
4. Is there a website where I can download PSP games + vita games?-
Well first off this site is great for tracking what’s going on at the fourms (wololo.com/talk)
Second there is a eCFW which is more or less the same.
Third, If you are able to catch a release of eCFW then yeah you can play homebrews and emulators (older console games including psp) and this site has most of the emulators and homebrews.
-
-
I have downloaded urbanix. How do I get it onto my vita so that i can run the hack?
-
would there anyone willing to make cwcheat or tempar or any cheat programs to cheat ps vita games? i am looking forward for one soon or later..
-
ah i see wololo… well i hope u hackers can do your best to make it dreams comes true!

Apparently we're on twitter too
