Vita "hacked," (PSP) homebrew on the way (not piracy)

Right, thanks
install the psp filer 6.6 and move the files into there
I tried that but it didn't work. There's no way to move any files to PSP/GAME on Vita firmware 3.50 and above, I've read.

Update Blocker, same as a regular Vita. Only difference is the name of the settings in the menu (Internet Connection vs Network).
So I can download straight to the PSTV via the internet (using the PS Store, I assume) as long as I have update blocker running and configured in network settings? I guess I can work out the specifics later, just need to know if I can get to those games on a PSTV if I buy one in the future.

You could set up your bubbles/whitelist and then update, but once you update you can't use the exploit anymore. So if your whitelist gets overwritten or you need to redo your bubble or add a new one, you are out of luck.
I doubt the update blocker would work for that, but I guess you could try.
Hi Guys,
Need some guidance (My apologizes if this has been answered a million times already). I have a PSVita on firmware 3.35.
Unfortunately, don't have any of the previous exploit games, however interested in playing some homebrew emulators on the go.
I currently don't have any PSP games on my Vita but have a number linked to my PSN account. I cannot download the games directly to the PSVita due to the firmware, however since I have my PSVita linked to my PSN account I tried using the website to queue the download on my PSVita. I have turned the PSVita off and on again but am not seeing any notification that the game is downloading.
Don't have my PS3 with me either. Is there a way I can download a PSP game from PSN onto my PSVita without updating and without a PS3?
Thanks

the queue wont work , you have to sign in on your vita
update blocker don't work on low frameware
you have to use a PS3 to download the games
good news , SMB is working on 3.52
but i don't know if it will work on 3.50 or less
you can download it from the PS3
No need. I downloaded it on my Vita, along with the other PS+ games.
Just use update blocker.
oh yes , i think its just matter of time for the blocker stop working
i really hope its continue to work
i still don't know why its not working after some time from a new update releases
edit : the blocker wont work on 3.51 or less
only on the frameware below the last update
Thanks for the confirmation. Is there any way to update to 3.52 now that 3.55 has dropped?
better stay at 3.35 , or just update to 3.50 to keep using TN
there is a way to manual updating your vita to a certain update , but i don't know who to use it
check wololo
Thanks. Is there a way to use TN without the exploited games? Or shall I just wait till a new one is found.
Sorry for the million questions. Just so out of touch with what is happening in the scene.
Yes. There's a variety of options: ONEMenu, Menu138, yMenu, etc. I personally use ONEMenu and it's pretty solid and customizable.
how to install it ?
i already have arc , but i don't know what i do next
also , ark only play .CSO games ?
i tried transfer iso file but in the end it wont show in the folder
Here. Just extract your menu of choice to the ARK folder then transfer it to your Vita as usual.
ARK should be able to play PSP ISOs and CSOs and PSX PBP eboots. Try installing ONEMenu first and put your PSP ISOs in the ISO folder (you can also leave them in a SAVEDATA folder and set the frontend to scan it [press Triangle to access the options], but that's a bit cumbersome in my opinion). If that doesn't work, try converting your games into CSOs with CISO Multi Compressor.

I was following this tutorial for ARK on my PSTV, and I'm stuck at the step where I try and connect to QCMA but it tells me I need to update. Is there a way around this that I'm not using? Seems like you can't use USB to connect to PC CMA with the PSTV, only WiFi, and I always get the update prompt when I try to connect.
Don't use WiFi then, use a usb cable and turn WiFi off.
Edit: ohhhh, a PSTV? Hm. I uh, don't know. I want to know now.
I used vita update blocker yesterday and my PSTV was able to connect to official CMA despite getting update prompts earlier. I used the windows exe version of vita update blocker, not the python script (though it wouldn't matter either way, just more convenient)
Guys. TNV-11 on 3.52 thanks to Qwikrazor!
I'm trying to install it right now. Running into some trouble, but I'll get it done and report back

Sound on PSX games with this, right?
Theoretically, yes. I don't know how TNV deals with PSX games on OFW 3.5x and up, since you can't write on the PSP/GAME folder.
I tried installing it with Puzzle Escape as a base, but I somehow screwed the process. I'm retrying with Ape Quest right now.
Edit: Got it. I successfully created the TNV bubble. All my PSP games are there, but not my PSX games, as expected. Maybe there's a plugin to scan other folders?
Edit2: Yes, there is a plugin! Trying it right now...
awesome.
I need help on one thing, bolded below:
Copy PBOOT.PBP to your base game folder, example:
ms0:/PSP/GAME/NPUH10091/PBOOT.PBP
or for MajorGas method:
ux0
Place 660.PBP in TNV_00000 save.
Transfer TNV_00000 save to Vita.
Backup and restore base game with PBOOT.PBP inside, if done correctly,
it should show up in the Live Area where your base game was previously.
Launch TN-V from bubble while hold R trigger, then install 6.60 files and exit the recovery menu.
My basegame is Mega Drive collection, ULES00556. I've copied the pboot.pbp over to the psp/game/ULES00556 folder using the FTP app. However, is that correct?
No. That's a bit misleading. You don't have to copy the PBOOT.PBP manually. In fact, my QCMA was crashing every time I tried to copy a folder with it. Instead, follow The Zett's tutorial, but instead of copying the ARK folder, copy the TNV folder. Then rename PBOOT.PBP to #0 and send it to your e-mail with the title line "ux0
spemu/PSP/GAME/ULES00556/PBOOT.PBP", and the go as usual. Open it with your e-mail app on your Vita, click on the photo, close the app, restart on Plane Mode, transfer your base game from your Vita to your PC, then close the Content Manager. Transfer your base game from your PC to your Vita (I did it twice and it worked), then restart. You should see the new custom bubble were your game was.Awesome!
I'm moving all my PSX games to a PSX folder in the root of my card so I can try how that plugin works. Honestly, I only want to play a handful of PSX games on Vita with sound. According to Hackinformer, sound is limited and some games run like shit... so if DQ7 and the Final Fantasies don't work well enough, I'll just wait until ARK-3 is released.

TN-V 11 bubble installed and customized!
I managed to install the PSX/HB plugin for TN-V, but I can't load any game with it. Every single one of them gives me the same error: "The game could not be loaded (80010014)". I'm using my own EBOOTS. Has someone managed to get it working? I know some people on Twitter have.
I guess so. I've heard that you can install exploits on 3.52 (and previous OFWs) and use the same card on another PS(TV) on 3.55 and, as long as they are connected to the same account, the exploits will transfer.

Has anyone gotten custom bubbles to work using apache overkill as the basegame? I managed to install an iso but it refuses to run.
I always preferred TN. I never even bothered with ARK. I didn't like what I saw of it in screenshots. Regardless of all the drama TotalNoob causes, TN is pretty good. You can do anything with it that you can do on an actual PSP.
Are you using the LPP plugin I linked above? You have to do some tinkering before you're able to launch homebrew and PSX games through TN-V.
Edit: Success! Got everything working! For PSX and homebrew apps, you need to create individual folders inside their respective ones (PSX and HB). Then you rename the PBOOT.PBP of each game or program to "FBOOT.PBP". For example, you should have /PSX/Final Fantasy VII/FBOOT.PBP.
An update regarding my PSX situation. These are the games I managed to get running:
The games I couldn't run:
I suspect that the common link between them is that the latter group contains multi-CD EBOOTs, while the former only has games with one CD. Maybe it's causing some compatibility issues? I'd try with some other games, but I'm going away for the weekend. Hopefully someone is able to try them while I'm not at home and post their results
It's really easy, actually. You just need to send and open one file in the e-mail app and then transfer a save folder with QCMA, and you're basically done. The Zett's tutorial is easy to follow and worth giving a try.

- Suikoden II
- Digimon World 3

I'll look into it. Thanks.
New exploit released thats compatible with version 3.55:
http://hackinformer.com/2015/10/10/psvita-qwikrazor-releases-new-exploit-for-3-55fw/
The game is Mimana Iyar Chronicle. Works the same as the PHP one. Copy over a save, load it, get ARK installed.

I might have to try this again tomorrow but I doubt it would work. The first time I tried it, I couldn't even get the app.db file to attach (very 1st step) and would always get a "file too large" error.

i've tested Vagrant Story it's running very slow like 15 fps or less with horrible quality sound
does all the games running slowly like that ?

Just create one for each disc?

I just created the ARK bubble on my PSTV, and it was so easy. And now I realized that by choosing the smallest psp game to use as the base, I actually used one that I got from PS Plus. So when I stop updating it'll probably stop running because it needs to verify my PS Plus, right?
Mmmm... wow, I never even thought about that. I guess it could make the games work, but I'm not sure that I'd be able to get past Disc 1, since even the PSN release has all the CDs in the same eboot. It's not like an emulator, where I can manually choose each CD as the game asks for them.
But maybe, if the game saves right before changing the CD, you can save, quit the game and load it up from the second CD... I don't know if that would work.
Nevertheless, it's worth a try. Or I'll just wait for ARK-3, since I'm in no hurry to play those games
