This month, we’re starting to see native vita homebrews, and I would expect this trend to increase in the months to come 🙂

Check out this month’s most popular homebrews and releases, as rated by our community below.

10. Vita Update Blocker

This application does what Charles Proxy Trick does but without the hassle.

Also this is Python based cross-platform application so you can even install this application to 24/7 running server to access PSN anyhwere.FEATURES
Automatically detects latest OFW version and Vita version. Can block other requests than update information for prevent server is being used as normal HTTP proxy server.

This basically lets you access the PSN on a lower firmware psvita.

9. SCE PS Vita – Hardware – Josh_Axey

Not an actual homebrew, this is Josh Axey’s entire analysis of the PS Vita Hardware. From the Readme:

This cataloguing (which is mostly complete) has been a long time coming.
I have promised to dedicate the time to doing it for a while and to a few. Here it is, more or less.

7. Open CMA

A patch by Virtuous Flame to prevent the PS Vita Content Manager Assistant from connecting to the internet.

The PS Vita comes with a system to copy save files that requires you to be connected permanently to the internet. This system is here to force you to update the Vita when a new version is available. In addition, it might be inconvenient for you to be constantly connected when you want to copy your files from and to the Vita. This patch is here to help you with this situation

Installation:

– extract the archive in your CMA folder (program files/Sony/Content Manager Assistant by default)

– quit the CMA if it is running on your PC

– execute “run.bat” (you need to run it in “Admin mode” on windows 7

– That’s it, now the CMA should run without requiring to be connected to the internet

Rejuvenate native hack for the PS Vita

5. CyanogenMod PSP C

This isn’t a port of CyanogenMod for android, it’s a project created from scratch. It will never allow you to run android apps, the psp system doesn’t have the hardware capabilities to run android. It’s purpose is similar to that of “iR Shell”, but with a UI inspired by CyanogenMod. If developers are interested, feel free to contact me through my email: sauskethunderkid@gmail.com

2. Lamecraft

If you know the PC game Minecraft, you will feel at ease with this genesis entry which reuses the same concept: allowing grownups to play with blocks like little kids. LameCraft is basically a sandbox that allows you to build a 3D world to your liking.

1. Minecraft PSP – [LC Mod]

Joel16’s mods based on Drakon’s game (Lamecraft, PSP’s popular Minecraft homebrew clone) are to enhance lamecraft’s graphics and gameplay, and give it a more ‘minecrafty’ feeling.

Credits go to Drakon for his amazing project.
