My VHBL Release: FAQ
Note from wololo: this post, and the release, are by Acid_Snake, not by me. Just giving the precision here for those who don’t take the time to read the author’s name at the top of the article 😉
Still having some questions about my upcoming exploit? read this first!
What type of exploit is this?
It’s a usermode only exploit, no kernel, no ISOs, just VHBL.
Will it ever be compatible with a kernel exploit?
Yes! when Total_Noob releases his TN-V4 I will immediately port it to this exploit, so it’s a good idea that you hold on to it and don’t update the firmware until then.
What can I do with this in the meantime? does it have good compatibility?
Yes, compatibility is decent, better than Apache or Gamocracy, so you can use it for some of the best homebrews in the meantime.
Does [insert homebrew here] work?
As time progresses, I’ll be releasing compatibility lists, if your homebrew is not listed, you can ask us to test it here: https://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=34368
When will it be released?
I don’t know.
How much does it cost?
I can’t tell you the exact amount. All I can tell you is: be prepared with the maximum amount of money you are willing to pay for the exploit.
Is it a normal PSP game or a mini?
I can’t tell you, and to be honest, it doesn’t matter.
I don’t speak English well, are there other sites that speak my language where the release will happen?
We are working to gather partners from other sites so that most users can get the exploit, specially PSP scene sites in other languages. When time is right, I will publish a list of Approved sites where you can ask for information and maybe obtain the Ninja Release.
Can I make my own Ninja Release in my site?
It depends, your site must have some prerequisites and must follow a few rules.
The golden rule here is that if your site is backed up by trustworthy scene members, and you know what you’re doing, we can allow you to do the release. But you have to be in constant contact with us for everything you do to make sure you’re doing it right and no leak happens.
About the $20 PSN contest, is there any requirement for submitting an entry?
[note from wololo: Acid_Snake announced in this article he would donate a $20 PSN Code to whoever reports the most leaks as part of the ninja release. To give a bit of context on this: leaks put the ninja release at stake, and we are trying various techniques to prevent them. This is one of these attempts. However I want to clarify that this “contest” is 100% driven by Acid_Snake, this is his money, not mine, and his decision to drive this]
There isn’t any, but if the leaker posts a screenshot of the Ninja Release it counts a lot more than if he only says the name.
What if someone leaks the game on purpose to report it and win the $20 PSN prize?
We have ways to tell if the reporter is legit or not. I wouldn’t have done the contest if I didn’t know what I was doing.
I found a leaker, but he’s leaking the wrong game!
He’s most likely a troll that wants people to buy the wrong game, it has happened before, nowadays we have photoshop and the like, so it’s easy to fake these things. You can/should report it as a real leak though, so we may stop these users from trolling other users with fake names.
Where do I report a leak?
Either send a Private Message to me, Wololo, or any other mods, so we can take action.
You may also send me an e-mail to acidsnake.dev@gmail.com
I CAN’T SEE THE NINJA RELEASE!!!
Chill out, you’ll eventually see it, just check the site every 5 hours or so.
What’s a Ninja Release?
Read this: https://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=11307
Can I contribute somehow?
If there’s something in which you think you can help, ask me.
If you want to donate I will make a donate link available at launch.
How many people are behind this?
Lots of people. I will name them all when time is right.
Is VHBL all we got?
Like I said before, TN will release a new kernel exploit, and when he does, I will port it to this exploit. Other than that, there are a few surprises with this release.
D03s 1t pl4y 1S0s?
No.

Hi guys I am getting interested with vita after reading this. now I am planning to buy a psvita at least second hand unit, my question is what fw should the unit pre-loaded with? and what game should I buy?
When I bought my Vita it was on a really low firmware. It was new out of the box from best buy. I thought to set it up I had to update and ruined my chance of the last kernel exploit. If I were you I would update your vita to 2.02 (Using the process in an older post) and transfer UNO using a PS3. Then install TN-V.
Will TN-V be released for 2.60?
{What’s a good lie] My dog updated my vita when I had Urbanix… 🙂
Only one question， does it play N64 emulator？
Thanks Wololo, I’m looking forward to playing PSP ISOS
im on 2.12 with Gamocracy One…should I update to 2.60 to able to play iso?
I am a new to this but if I am correct you can stay on Gamocracy (GOLOR) with your 2.12 firmware.
And when total_noob releases the kernel exploit you will be able to run your backup psp iso’s.
Greetings!
Mr. Acid snake
I switched back from my saudi psn to us psn account, then i cant download my download que games anymore got error np-9978-3. My concern is does the game is available at saudi psn account?
Thank you for any response.
I don’t know, I need someone to confirm it
So many new exploits coming out! And I was about to buy a PSP 3000; but will wait now 😀
Feel shy, I don’t know what you mean. I want to ask, i have buy a new VITA has been upgraded to version 2.6, and I want to play the games ISO with VITA, but I know a user mode exploit games can run VHBL, can’t run TN, so look at the top of the problem, it seems can buy the user mode exploit games, until Total_Noob in the PS4 firmware update after the release of a new kernel exploit. Acid_Snake said it will be porting TN-V4 to the user mode exploit, whether it can run games ISO? There is the need to purchase a new game, after all the user mode exploit released after Soni will update the firmware, the 2.6 can not login to the PS store to download new game.Or should I wait until after the release of the PS4 to update the firmware download TN released a new game??
Acid_Snake, can you help me to explain it, thank you
Hi Acid,If I were in Hongkong server,I can get the game？
I hope I can get your reply.Thanks~
yes, it has been confirmed to bein Hong Kong PSN
Mr. Acid

Hello
Hey ill help by also giving away a $20 playstation card to the winner
i will Also contribute to the winner $20 playstation network card
This is the most lame thing ever. Every exploit apart from game specific exploits should be free. That’s how it has also been, with the PSP and even iPhones. The fact that this guy is charging money shows me how terrible the Vita community is, compared to how open the PSP community was. If you’re going to charge for something, do it for an actual Vita hack, and not some PSP emulator exploit. That’s worth paying for, perhaps. But for now, you’re no real hacker. Hackers share with the community what they have learned, so we may all be better equipped. Lame.
I don’t really know what you’re talking about. If you’re talking about the $20 PSN contest, it’s just something to prevent the name of the game from leaking too soon. No one is asking you money, just that to get this exploit you need a game from the PSN which the exploit is based on, so you need to buy it, and that’s all. No one asked you to give money to someone else.
Acid Snake,about the Amount of RAM being reduced in 2.60…does emulators like DaedalusX64 be affected by it?
like running slower than previous firmwares? i was willing to play Smash Bros 64 with better framerates on Vita,but that will make it run exactly the same as in PSP?
Marcos, in the VHBL topic someone said that daedalus x and PSP Filer doesnt work, but it has very good compatibility. but Adding to his question, if I updated to 2.60 is it going to be a major problem if I later try to use PSP Isos with the future TN-V4 port?
Somebody please tell me.
Im on VHBL – GOLOR 2.12 Vita… Will i need a PS3 when this TN-V expolit is ported to GOLOR-VHBL.??????
Please reply…coz im planning to sell my PS3…
what if some of the spies at sony have forum accounts here and pretend to be normal forum users who are happy to see new exploits…
this exploit will cost less or more than $ 10? what do you think?
sorry for my english, I dont speak very well
It’s already been announced. It’s 2.99 euro. Other exploitable games have been announced too out of having no choice, maybe. That’s too bad. This shows hackers are not united.
Too bad. By the time people wakes up, it would have been already too late. So much for excitements. I hope the Z’s is not yet publicized so they can have their plan B.
The name of the game is A………. and it costs $1.99 in the US.
