If you were able to grab the Patapon 2 or Numblast exploit for firmware 3.36, be sure to keep reading!

Since a lot of people had problems in the past with maintaining a healthy exploit game, I am going to list some tips and recommendations that you can follow, if you want to be 100% sure to be able to reinstall the exploit game, after you somehow messed up (game doesnt start anymore, license errors, you deleted it, and so on).

1.) After buying the exploit game, immediately download it onto your PS Vita. Do NOT download it onto your PC, PSP, PS3, PS4, Nintendo DS or even GameCube. It has to be downloaded onto your PS Vita, otherwise Sony can prevent you from installing the game on your PS Vita (e.g. via removing the game from the store).

If the game is not on your PS Vita, and Sony has removed the game, then you are unable to install the game on your PS Vita. Even if you have it as a bubble on your PS3, the transfer will fail!

The other mentioned devices are unable to download & transfer the game to your PS Vita. Only a PS3 or your PS Vita itself is capable of downloading the exploit game in a “PSVita-friendly” format.

2.) After you have successfully installed the exploit game on your PS Vita, be sure to create a backup of the exploit game via the Content Manager Application. If you have created a backup of the exploit game on your PC (via CMA), then you are 100% safe and can even mess up and delete the exploit game from your PS Vita. As long as you are using OpenCMA/QCMA to transfer it, you can even restore the exploit game backup onto your PS Vita after Sony has removed the game from the PSN Stores.

3.) Be sure to disable the automatic download of a new firmware update via your PS Vita Settings Application. Go into the PS Vita Settings App and go to system-settings. Then uncheck the “automatic firmware download” function. This will prevent your PS Vita from an automatic download of a new firmware version. This feature can not and could never automatically update your PS Vita firmware, this was only a rumour.

That is pretty much it. If you follow these 3 steps, then you should be able to actually use the exploit game, keep it save and have a secured PS Vita in terms of being on an exploitable firmware.

If you have a japanese PSN account, and you happen to own a specific game, then you might already have an exploit game yourself, without it being necessary to buy Numblast.

This game exploit is by japanese Developer 173210 and it requires the japanese game ‘Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Extend‘. It is a full PSP game, available in the Japanese PSN store and most of you should know the Hatsune Miku games.

The game is quite expensive, so you might want to prefer the Numblast exploit that is currently still available.

In the end I want to thank 173210 and Qwikrazor once again for providing us with yet another release of exploit games, and I hope that you appreciate their work and dedication too.
