Release: ARK-2 eCFW & kernel mode exploit for PS Vita firmware 3.36!
Developer Qwikrazor has just released yet another kernel mode exploit for the PS Vita firmware 3.36.
This enables you to use the ARK-2 eCFW on your PS Vita.
Before the questions start: This CAN NOT enable you to use or run the TN-V eCFW until Total_Noob himself updates it. Since TN is currently very busy, this won’t happen in near future, so stay with ARK-2.
This will also not enable you to use the PS1loader, PKG Installer or Webkit exploit. Things don’t work like that.
This kernel mode exploit for the PSPemulator of the PS Vita firmware 3.36 will enable you to run PSP game backups as ISOs/CSOs and PS1 game backups as PBPs (without sound, though)
It also enables you to use Plugins while using PSP or PS1 games and grants you access to superior Homebrew support than the current VHBL offers (even though the current VHBLs homebrew support is massive!).
This does work on firmwares 3.36 and below, is not only limited to the fat PS Vita 1000, but also supports the slim PS Vita 2000 and the tiny PSV TV. So all the Vita devices are covered.
To install and use the ARK-2 eCFW on firmware 3.36 you either need the Patapon 2 exploit, or a working custom bubble that is capable of setting up more custom bubbles (pretty much what we taught you in the last week).
While this does bring support for an eCFW to firmware 3.36, keep in mind that updating past firmware 3.20 means that you lose access to TN-V, the PS1loader, the PKG Installer and the Vita native Webkit exploit.
Custom Bubbles & the ARK-2 eCFW are also working on version 3.18/3.20, so only update if you really need to use online services or a Vita game requires it.
In the end I would like to thank Qwikrazor, once again, for his great work in the scene, and I bet he would enjoy it if you gift him a beer or two.

Nice work! I’m still part of 3.18 Masterrace although I do miss online play :(.
I’m using the Dissidia Final Fantasy 12 full and still ends up giving error at the end Would anyone help me?
Please, give me some money
If I manage to get hold of an exploit game and install ecfw then I’ll give you some money qwikrazor87

Opa, blz?
You guys really sc*** up this release, this kernal exploit should have been mentioned with VHBL a few days ago.
This kexploit wasn’t even planned for released, I took a look at it and got it working after the VHBL release.
Man I hate this f****whinners just sitting down waiting for people to give them hacks and then complaining that they don’t like how things are being done!
Why don’t you make your own hacks mat and GTFO of here? Oh yeah, you can’t do s**t and want everything handed over and fed on your mouth!
People like you do deserve some 40s treatment.
*kernel, scrub.
well..looks like a valid reason to get patapon 2 (didnt really care for the game itself, not my type of game to play lol)
thanks Quik
dang, sony moves fast…..went to go buy it and its already off 😐
Well Prince of Persia the forgottten sands isn’t working… guess I’ll play chinatown wars
IF I MISSED THE PATAPON 2 TO DOWNLOAD IS THERE ANY GAME I CAN SUBSTITUTE FOR THAT? THNX
Has somebody already tried Final Fantasy Type-0 with this eCFW? Thanks in advance!
Since ARK has the Inferno driver, yes. It works.
HI GUYS IS THERE ANY GAME THAT I CAN SUBSTITUTE FOR PATAPON 2 CUZ I MISSED TO DOWNLOAD IT.. I HOPE SOME ON HELP ME THNX
To play psp backup game,I just put the ISO/CSO to ark save folder with naming convention(all caps and not exceeding 8 chars). All the games just work fine
Hi do u know why i cant transfer iso files? I put them to the exploit save rename it to GAME1.ISO and my vita wont transfer it. it ll transfer all save files but the iso in it wont.
yeah that is my problem last night what i did is show the extension file of the and put it in CAPS ———–> hom.iso to HOM.ISO
you need to check the show file extension on the folder option
or your file name will be like this HOM.ISO.ISO
😀
Ive got a question and i bet it has been answered numerous times already but i didnt find an answer.. IF i “flash” my PS Vita so that im able to Play PSP Games.. Is it correct that i’ll need a PS3 from then on to put Vita Games on my Vita that are bought in the Store? Since i cant visit the Store unless i update my Vita.
Correct.
Correct.
Hi i have an issue with transferring iso files. I can run that menu without any iso files in exploit save data, after putting there that iso file (names GAME.ISO) and running that exploit game it freezy at creating app. My set language is english UK i even restart my vita and format it restoring the system but still idk what to do to run it.
This need work on Patapon 1 ;x
Zett doesn’t answer me so i hope someone here can help me…
Where do i put in the ISO. PSPFiler doesn’t find the ISO
Don’t need PSPFiler, just put the ISO in the PS Vita/PSAVEDATA/(random letters/numbers of your system)/NPUG80320KEXPLOIT (or whatever directory your KEXPLOIT directory is depending on your region) and name it with the 8.3 naming scheme (ie, MSLUGXX.ISO)…up to 8 letters, doesn’t have to be, with the .ISO extention)
I will donate if i ever get it to work Ahahaha
is there any way to get a patapon 2 game? 🙁
Don’t need Patapon 2 now, just need Numblast and it works just well :)….I just finished playing a PSP ISO with Numblast exploit….hurry up and get it before it is off the store ($3 USD)
How could you transfer an iso to the SAVEDATA folder on your PS VITA? I transfer it to the qcma and ocma but I get nothing inside that folder, should be the iso, but not out. can you help me?
Cool. got to get me the vita slim2or vita tv probably vita tv be cool.
Typo. vita slim or vita tv.
Would you suggest staying at a lower firmware or updating to 3.36? I have ffx hd remaster and want to use cross save on my ps3 but I can’t since I’m on firmware 3.01 on my vita.
the advantage to updating to 3.36, you can still use the store if needed. So, might as well do the update. I don’t know if you can transfer game saves to the PS3 via USB or not, but you may be able to stay on your current firmware and cross save that way?
I’ve followed your tutorial to the letter, but when I load the ARK, it always gets stuck at ‘Creating app list…’ – Any advice on how to help the vita past this? I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong :S
Got same problem dunno how to cure this

im not sure what u mean just use those saves which u download in this video put there ur iso files and transfer it using content manager. Then in ark aplication it should pop up
I meet the same issue, I google it, however, there is nothing we can use. Hope Someone can help us.
ok i got answer to this format ur system memory and then download this game run ark and everything should be ok
Cryptus, I don’t think formatting system memory is an option, as then we’d lose Patapon 2 AND the original VHBL exploit bubble.
Seems pretty cool but I was unable to load this, kept getting file errors, guess ill stick to my UNO exploit on good old 2.12
I did it and it works great¡ thanks, but I don´t have VHBL anymore, I did it with the game chamaleon, I clone it, But on the bubles I only have 1 chamaleon buble that launch Ark, when I´m on the ark I can see the chamaleon cloned (see 4 chamaleon) but can´t launch vhbl from ark.
games work perfect, psp isos and emulators!
Does this work with talk man travel tokyo
OK I’m up and running with iso files. Is there any way to close a game without having to completely close out of the ark loader by some kind of button combination or anything. i am using the same setup as in the video with the 1234L4 loader or whatever its called lol
Translate yo spanish please: yo instale numblast, luego descargue el xploit, luego transferí a travez del CMA a mi PsVita el xploit, inicie el juego e inicio el menú ark2, hasta ahí todo bien. Luego que quiero pasar una ISO o un CSO, en el momw to que voy a revizar a travez del explorer en el menú ark2 no sale el ISO o el CSO, osea, no se muestra ese archivo no lo veo, lo transferí en 3 ocaciones con qcma y ocma, y no sale. Es como que si no se transfiriera pero si lo hace porque el proceso lo hace todo normal, quisiera poder pasar la ISO para correr el juego. Es primera vez que tengo un xploit. Ayudame si puedes. Gracias.
Ya debes tenet una respuesta pero aqui te va de todos modos.
Tu ISO debe estar enayusculas y tener menos de 8 caracteres en el nombre. Ej: GTALC.ISO Y no grandtheftauto.iso
Asegurate que tu windows no esconde extensiones conocidas, estoe puede ser tu otro problema, ya que tu ISO se convierte en GTA.ISO.ISO ya que al no ver la extension estarias creando una extra.
I recently bought a vita just to play a couple of old PS1 games via ISO and saw the Numblast exploit yesterday and got it. Question now is – can I continue to buy games from the Play Station Store now that I’ve exploited or do I have to just use ISO’s from now on? And can I still have my Vita connected to the internet or do I have to turn it off when I’m playing stuff through the exploit? Sorry for the silly questions… i’m a total noob 🙂 any help appreciated^^
Playing ps1 games now on ark for now, I don’t mind the no sound but want to know how to increase the screen size. its quite small. I have searched everywhere but can’t find a solution. Please help. Thanks
can I buy this patapon 2 game voucher and install on my vita to run this exploit?

Hey i successfully have VHBL and ARK-2, now im having trouble installing my psp iso’s it just wont show ive done the method with the 8 capitals characters and INSTALL.ZIP just isnt working for me well…plz help me i really dont know what im doing wrong becuz im a noob at this.
ISO’s don’t need to be in a zip file, that is only for homebrews.
You take your ISO and put it on savefile, as easy as that. ISO’s DON’T GET TO BE INSTALLED.
