… and I’m sure you’ll love it. I already pledged.
Some of you might have read an interview of me on website Eurogamer, where I said I am not sure I will keep actively hacking the Vita myself now that the playstation suite SDK is available in open Beta.
Recently, some interesting things have been released through the PSS, such as a NES emulator. Technically, Sony are giving us the tools to develop homebrews on their platform, so in theory their shouldn’t be any need for more hacks, right? Well, I believe that’s not true, and I’ll explain why.
A few weeks ago, an anonymous hacker released a dump of the flash0 from the PSP emulator running on the PS Vita. Although it brought nothing new for the end user, it was a verifiable proof that this hacker has access to a kernel exploit running on the PSP emulator.
This week, the same dev apparently got PS1 games to run on the Vita, as shown in the video below (thanks to the Z)
I’m organizing a contest around VHBL with 2 ways to win. You don’t necessarily need to be a programmer, so read along.
This patch fixes some crashing issues with snes9xTYL and Lamecraft, among other things.
A few weeks ago, our forum member The Z twitted about a “leak” of a full dump of the Flash0 of the PSP emu on the PS Vita. Unless you’ve been in the homebrew scene for a while, this probably doesn’t mean anything to you. Worse, you’ve been getting mixed signals from various people or websites, some of them going as far as claiming claiming this cracks the vita open, etc…
So what does this really mean for the end user? Well, in the short term, absolutely nothing, but read along for more details.

Some of you are running into issues with some homebrews on VHBL. I’ve been working recently on fixing some of these issues, in particular some incompatibilities with snes9xTYL, the most popular SNES emulator out there. I got it to run, and I am trying to add a few more fixes before I release a VHBL update (video below).
There are so many things in this release that I don’t even know where to start, but if there’s one thing that will make our long-time followers happy, it’s probably this one: Planeswalkers!
Hey everyone, I’m back from holidays and will try to catch up by the end of the week on the stuff I missed in the past 2 weeks. In particular, I hope to have some time in the next few days to investigate the Snes9xTYL issues in the Super Collpase 3 release of VHBL.
Hey everyone, just a quick post for those of you who are having trouble running VHBL.
A few days ago I released VHBL for the game Super Collapse 3, and I’ve seen lots of people running into various types of issues, so let me try to summarize a few hints and tips here.
