PoC: TN-V8 Running On PS Vita Firmware 3.15
It had to have happened sooner or later. The (in)famous Katsu recently came out with a PoC showing TN-V8 running on PS Vita firmware 3.15. Can a release be expected?
The most complex public Vita hack to date would be PSP eCFW paired with either TN-V or ARK. Whenever a new PS Vita firmware is released, devs try to see if they can get it TN-V/ARK (ARK is no longer in development) to run in the latest firmware. A few people already have VHBL running on 3.15, and I’m pretty sure that Acid Snake ad his cronies have got some cool stuff too. But now, Katsu also has got his little boat sailing down the river.
When you think of Katsu (or at least when I do) the software realm is not where I think of his hacking. I think of his hardware accomplishments. After a little disagreement with the scene surrounding his HDMI out hack (honestly, I don’t care about any of your opinions on this so please don’t state them in the comments) Katsu went away and then came back with some really good stuff, this time software hacking.
Katsu had made a PoC Youtube video, showing that it is indeed possible to run TN-V on PS Vita firmware 3.15. The odd thing, as it seems always happens whenever Katsu releases a video of this sort, it is either made private, or taken down. because of this, I have no video proof to show, but I trust that will believe in my words. As far as I know, a release, if it will happen, will not happen soon.
Two things for you guys to be aware of:
- There is a VHBL ninja release coming up. It is Japan only, but if you want to be involved, go create an account on /talk.
- @TheASHfire06 is hosting a PS Vita Borderlands 2 Bundle giveaway. There are only a few days left, but go ahead and give winning a shot here.

I already buy psn card for my japan account i hope i can get the name of the game and play my old video games so nostalgic thanks guys
Just 3 days of TN…
It was made private because he was told not to reveal publicly what doesn’t belong to him. -_-
TN-V is of course is TN’s work, but the exploits do not belong to katsu.
So it is an exploit that was shared with him?
Yeah.
Also I’m not entirely sure why he’d make the video private simply because he doesn’t have the moral right to release the exploit. Did the video show something it shouldn’t have?
It’s about getting credits for something others have achieved and publishing without their permission.
@Freakler
Oh, I guess that does make sense. haha =)
I was thinking of it as “well it’s not like he can rescind the news” but it does make sense that people might not appreciate him showing it off and getting credit for it when the actual creators could have done that themselves, had they wanted to.
the exploited game maybe?
Hasn’t katsu himself stated that it wasn’t his work before?! I could swear i read that somewhere.
Yeah, it was on the forums. not his exploit.
una pregunta…se sabe para que cuenta esta el juego para ejecutar el TN-V8????
a question … is known for this game has to run the TN-V8??
En 3.01, todas.
Pasame tu mail necesito preguntarte algo, puede ser??? gracias
¿A quien le dices…?
What does this mean? Does this mean an exploit game which can have vita running at 3.15 be able to run eCFW?
Er… DUH!
yes.
This is some very exciting great news. I will definitely be keeping a eye out for this 3.15 PSP/PS1 eCFW hack. I definitely want to play my PSP/PS1 games I personally own on my PSVITA.
i will be waiting for this. More power to creator.
Is there a changelog?
A changelog of what?
i will be waiting for this. More power to creator.
YESSSSS I CAN. Finally play ISO GAMES ON MY 3.15 PS VITA YAHHOOOOOO!!!!!
@Nico, what procedure did you use?
Did you happen to create your own version of Kernel Exploit? Or are you just celebrating over nothing?
How do you make TN-V work on ps vita euro firmware using space invader exploit ?
Can I play any monster hunter game in ps vita?
