Arcade Darts and Hot Brain pulled from the PSN
This is it. After an unreal stream of exploit releases over the past few days, it seems the last entry points to a PSP eCFW on vita firmware 3.36 have been closed, at least in the US.
Unless you’ve been totally absent over the past few weeks, it is likely at this point that you are either running some flavor of homebrew on your 3.36 console, or you just don’t care about homebrews… if for some weird reason you missed the stream of exploit releases over the past few weeks, then it’s pretty safe to say you only have yourself to blame.
It all started with an exploit for Patapon 2 back in January. Sony quickly pulled it from their stores 2 days after the announce. A few days later, Numblast is the one that followed, with yet another exploit. Another exploit was then announced for Hatsune Miku: project diva extend. Once again, Sony removed those games from their stores within 48 hours of the announcement.

But Qwikrazor was on a spree of releases, and announced (and released) exploits for Arcade Darts, then Hot Brain a few days ago. Here again, after a few days, Sony is removing those games from their stores. That’s a total of 5 exploits released over the course of 2 weeks.
There will most likely be a new firmware release that will patch those vulnerabilities, then we can probably expect these games to come back to the PSN.

It is interesting, however, to see that some of these games have been a treasure chest of exploits for hackers: Patapon2 was already the target of the very first public release of HBL (VHBL’s ancestor). That was 5 years ago.
boom first!!!
good!!
k
That is why it is good to just back up the games even if you don’t have exploit working.
If I don’t upgrade my vita and the games come back after FW 3.67, can I still exploit my console using PS3 tricks or proxy PSN?
If you stay on 3.36, yes.
what is the point of this explid game ? plz some one tell me.
psp is dead and its is not fun to run psp game on vita , not anymore.
i am not dispointing you but its beter if you dont west your time on psp explid .
try to hack vita game . i know its look imposible but ….
People are trying.. And it isn’t just about playing psp games.. You could make your own program and use it, or share it. I like the trickiness of it all. I’ve loaded up ecfw 4 times so far and like the last three times I’m likely to delete it and upgrade after a while because psn, trophies and other services needed to enjoy the vita more.. I should’ve bought a second vita when i had some extra money..
I never owned a PSP before, now with this hack I have a whole new library of games and emulators to play for free on my vita. Just because you have moved on and left the PSP on the past it doesn’t mean everyone else owned one.
I even had a hacked PSP for years and still found a few games for the PSP that I am thoroughly enjoying I didn’t even existed before. That and PS1 games (regrettably without sound) are fun, I never get bored of the first 3 crash bandicoot games and so on.
Don’t pay no mind to him. meysam25 seems to be one of those people that has lost the ability to differentiate between fact and opinion. What he typed is 100% his opinion and yet tries to throw it out there like it’s a fact. These people are usually best left ignored. Plus he’s asking for Vita game hacks, which has been in the works since THE RELEASE of the Vita, but I doubt he knows that. Just look at that grammar *shivers*.
The hacks they’ve released so far are great, and I really appreciate this site sharing it with us, even though some may be undeserving of this kindness they do it anyways, arigato!
Damn… Should have bought Hot Brain when I was looking at it last night.
me too *** Sony
ok lets try the east of our time here not the west meysam….har har har
The PS3 was hacked natively in 09 right? That’s 3 years after its release. Damn I’m starting to think Sony has made the Vita unbreakable… It’s already been like 5 years.
Stay on second floor or roof and hold your psvita by pressing triangle, square , circle or x for some seconds and then throw it away…you will realize SONY does not make your PS VITA unbreakable
I still think this was a waste. And no, it’s not the consumer’s fault for not seeing any of these exploits in time; they were all released in quick succession of each other. It would have been more economical to release these over a larger period of time. But oh well. Hopefully one day the scene will understand my concern for the utter waste that’s been going on. Have fun with your exploits everyone that for them; and to those of you who missed out… I can only apoligize for the devs that didn’t think snot about you.
“Unless you’ve been totally absent over the past few weeks, it is likely at this point that you are either running some flavor of homebrew on your 3.36 console, or you just don’t care about homebrews…”
Or you have a second Vita on 3.18. 😉
Yeah then Sony releases a new firmware and all the hackers start to release more psp exploits for those who updated…this is not it.it will never end and it’s getting annoying.
ya im tired of this. it looks like sony is scrapping the vita and W WANT NATIVE VITA HACK AND VITA GAMES!!!
Sure, getting annoying, please release your PS Vita native hacks and I will follow you.
If we can get another ps1 loader ill be in shock, but ill be willing to pledge $50
