The 50 best PSP/Vita/PS3 homebrews in 2012
Here is a huge post with the most popular 50 homebrews and tools of this year for the PSP and the Vita in our database. We’ve also added a few PS3 ones for good measure. If you are new to the PSP/Vita scene, or if you’re looking for some exciting new content to try, this is what you are looking for! The homebrews are in no specific order, but organized by categories. You can find more homebrews on /downloads, and don’t forget to add yours, and to rate your favorite ones. No login is required!
Most of the homebrews are compatible with both the PSP and the vita (in the case of the vita, you’ll need to run VHBL or CEF)

Oh hey wanted to tell you I downloaded it for FREE. Thanks! 😀
Same here 🙂 Still like vice city better
Oh yeah can’t go wrong with an ’80’s theme. 😀 Although San Andreas is still pretty good. Even better when you can modify radio stations you don’t like into those you do. 😀
Just wondering why CPS1 & 2 and MVSPSP is not included? LOL!
BECAUSE THEY SUCK ASSS!!!!….. yea being an ***-hole didn’t feel so good.
but i agree, those some of my favorite emulators
most ppl will say *** is NeoGeo?
Then they probably wouldve said the same to CPS1/2. But those are my favorite emulators… Ever in fact.
I enjoy the megaman battle games and mvc!!!
they are not included because they didnt get to the top 50 list ¬¬

Hey does anybody tried downloading a game from the playstation store and then transfer it to your computer. After that you will find the game in C:\Users\USRNAME\Documents\PS Vita\APP\3f029c9f3b43f84d. After that you can use it to make copies of it and sell them or just share them with others.
It worked for me but I dont know if it will work with other people because there might be a license or it is for only your psp.
You were able to play it on a Vita with a different account linked?
With the same account, but Im going to test it out with another account.
Hope it works
If u want to help me out go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2V1sAeNrP4
“Touhou. Famous space shooter port on the PSP”
It’s not a space shooter, man. Those are people. Or Demons. Or Whatever.
Fair enough. But it plays like a space shooter, and quacks like a space shooter, so…
Lamecraft is one of my favorite homebrews.
Does PSPokemon Grey work on Vita 1.81 with Gravity Crash exploit?
Trying to get it to but keep getting the amazing C1-2858-3 error on launching it on TN-C.
question, i got PSPCOMIC and installed it into my psvita, now how do i put comic in it? someone please help 🙁
wifi hack not working :S

NO IDEA WHAT IT IS
GUYS IM HAVING TROUBLE WITH ALL EMUS … HOW DO I INSTALL THEM, WHERE TO PUT THE ROMS AND SO ON FOR EMULATORS
.. CHEERS LADS IN ADVANCE
One annoying thing about emulators is that they have 932489234 different builds. I mean, I only found out that Snes9xTYL mecm is the best version yesterday.
Even now I don’t know what’s the latest version of gPSP (especially because of that drama involving the creator and some Japanese dude).
PRO-B10 fix CFW is the best ever !
No Duck Hunt PSP? I really enjoyed that game though
Someone should make a android emulator already!!!
