Alright, VHBL is back on 1.80!
So, how cool is that? Less than 48 hours after we thought VHBL was locked out for good, we’re back on our feet!
To be honest, I must say I basically freaked out for just a small thing. After a few hours of investigation, it became clear that Sony was not really after VHBL, they just cleaned up some of their filename rules in CMA, in order to comply to the FAT naming conventions (also known as 8.3).
As I mentioned, I had started working on those limitations a while ago (see here and here) since the limitations already existed when trying to copy files from the PS3 to the Vita. So in hindsight, it seems Sony just unified CMA to the restrictions already in place on their systems.
I realized how obvious this was when many people contacted me about this, and since I had already all the bits and pieces ready in VHBL to support it, it was just a matter of confirming, adding a few compilation variables, and recompiling the thing.
As I am writing this, the JP and US versions of VHBL are being tested, while I could confirm it works fine on 1.80 with the EU version. Below is a screenshot of GPSP running Advanced wars. The overlay shows one of the new options of the touch screen in 1.80 🙂
Neur0n also figured this whole thing out I assume, but he hasn’t sent me any file yet, so for now we’ll go with my changes. This shouldn’t matter too much anyway, the core of the changes here are still from Neur0n, as he is the one who made most of the compatibility fixes for homebrews here.
Yes, the files are ready and the Ninja release will happen, from now it is not a matter of “if”, but a matter of “when”. For obvious reasons, I cannot give you any precise date, just know that it is happening, soon 🙂
how are you eligible for the ninja release again i cant find the page and i remember it being brought up a few posts ago

so vhbl is like a game save thats a game in itself that plays emulators? simples
wow! i cant w8 for this.
Hopefully “Tony”‘s Costume Firmware will be out soon.
VHBL VHBL hmmm, i want it but is it really worth to stop accessing psn or updating my ps vita because of emulators? i don’t think so, i got excited when i heard about the ARCHOS gamepad with physical buttons -7inch screen- yeahh emulation without any restriction , plus no longer need to wait for any sort of ninja release , :),
I already HAVE a Vita. I won’t have to go buy a new device.
So I have SC3/VHBL, if I update to 1.80 will I lose it?
lol, really want to play Twisted Metal 2 on my Vita.
if you update to 1.80 you will lose access to the SC3 VHBL
I thought so. :/ what to do what to do….
I guess I’m gonna risk it, and hope to get the next VHBL.
Gonna miss Wagic and the NES.
dear wololo, we all need soon back to school,
so give a fast answer!!
do u gonne release it before school time begins or later!!!
plz we need to know it tell us plz. i dont wanne mis it again!!!
i dont want a answer like : Do as everybody and follow the site!
i need fast and Good answer !!! like every body here.
every body here know’s that u and ur team awesome is!!!
plz i dont wanne mis it again !!!
do u understand me?
we are waiting sooo long!!
oke good bye 🙂 !!!!
Again, I think this release is only for dropouts. You school types don’t deserve it.
yo wololo well, when do u know more about the VHBL release? (Ninja release)
well can u give us some more information?
not only this info: ”do the same as everybody and follow the ninja release”
ok good bye 🙂 !
I’m actually laughing at you now. You realize that asking them over and over again will NOT change the release date/time and that they can NOT tell you if it will be out before or after school starts.
yea dude, you need to read the forum rules before you get banned. asking over and over again will only keep you from being apart of the ninja release.
I know the game name 🙂 I got it two days ago..
Can you pass on any info?
how you know the game name and the ninja release hasn’t released yet can you tell me please
note:i have register
don’t understand me wrong but really how you get it?
You need to reread the part of not talking publicly about it.
i am sorry i am new here
Well it made sense to me (if close to ready) it would have been released this weekend as we all know the $ony trolls aren’t all working on the weekend and less on stat at taking things down.
Of course, if not the case on being ready, I still think we should wait until a “saturday or sunday” release.
Soo when is it coming out?
wow all these damn people keep asking when its released just wait damn it i hope wololo looks at everyone that keeps asking and then denies them access to the ninja release be glad you guys even have something to look forward to.
oh and a big thank you out to wololo, vhbl team, and any coder out there that has brought this over from the psp and made any sort of homebrew,app, or mod possible on the vita
What kind of studies i need to do, to become a coder? Is it hard? I think is very exiting, o well, thank for all your work, i want to learn to be helpfull to the community.
Adios,
All I want to know is if, like Frank said, we could get the post emailed to us. Thanks Wololo I for one appreciate all that you’ve done for us!
im like everyone else cant wait for it to b released, but wont b asking for a release date/time. just wish u wud inform us when u go shopping and stuff like that cos im visiting the forum all the time whilst your probably putting beans and stuff in ya trolly lol i cud relax for a hour then ha
Thank you wololo and take as much time as you need.

Thank you wololo.
Arrrrg. Only been a forum member for 2 months so i know i have some waiting to do. Cant take it!! Lol. Thnx btw to everyone for making this happen.
how can i start on my own exploit/ hack
Ok guys, you know the drill!
On this page I reveal the name of the PSP game used by Neur0n to run HBL on the Vita.
Due to the many securities on the Vita, We are now doing “ninja releases”, so please bear with me, and read this.
You are one of the very few people who can see the contents of this page. This is because I trust you to not make this information public, and keep it to yourself, until I let you know it’s not a secret anymore. If this information is not kept a secret, Sony will remove the game from the store, and we will lose the exploit, so I’m hoping I can trust you here. In a few days/weeks you will see a download link for HBL itself on this same page. I am not distributing HBL now because Sony monitors the crashes that come from the PS Vita, and if you were to use HBL extensively now, Sony could see what game is being involved, and you would unintentionally leak the exploit to Sony.
By releasing the exploit this way, I’m trying to make sure that at least the people I trust have a few days to get access to the game, and then even if Sony patches it later on you should be able to use the exploit.
Ok, let’s sum this up again
You are seeing this page because you are one of the few people I trust with the secret, and I found no more efficient way to make the exploit “public” without wasting it
This page for now will only give you the name of the game, HBL itself will come later
Please do not share this information publicly, with your friends at school or whatever, this is the only way this thing will work. Other people will have access to the exploit too very soon, assuming we don’t mess things up
The game with the exploit is not free, and what we are giving you is only HBL, a Homebrew Loader for the PSP within the Vita. This exploit is not convenient, probably not very useful, and easy to patch. I cannot even guarantee it will work for you if Sony decides to patch it randomly, or if they find ways to force patch our PSPs or something. It is also very possible that other people are working on much more intersting hacks that will render this one useless
OK, read the point above once more, I give no guarantee, you don’t have to buy the game, so don’t make me responsible if for some reason that doesn’t work out for you. It’s your money, and your choice
Ok here’s the name of the game Show
The Game is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (Monster Hunter 2ndG in Japan)
Availability: The game is Available in most stores as far as I know. If you know a store where it cannot be found, please let me know. BE SURE to use the SEARCH function of the store before reporting that the game is missing!
Compatibility and limitations: check this blog post for a list of tested homebrews
Not happy with the limitations and/or the price of the game? It might be ok to wait, we potentially have other exploitable games, but we cannot promise anything, the choice is yours.
VHBL itself will be released at the same time we make the public announcement, in a few days/weeks. Thanks for your trust, and again let’s keep this a secret so that as many people as possible can benefit this hack.
