Support NeoGAF

[sensui-tomo]

we need to put website links, for both NA and EU on here and instructions and what you'll need. We dont want any accidents where someone does something stupid and messes up their handheld. Please dont require a ps3.

 

[DrROBschiz]

So there's about to be a new Vita hack that finally enables piracy or will lead to it at least. Neat...but it also bypasses the PSTV whitelist? Now that is awesome. Can't wait. Any ETA?

What? Any actual details?

I really just want a hack that lets me keep psn and run native homebrew in a convenient way

 

[Hero Prinny]

3.52 confirmed I guess...

i hope thats the case since I'm on 3.52

 

[Purdy]

Is this going to allow the PSTV to play MGS HD Collection? Would be so much nicer with a ps4 controller D:

 

[flux1]

Once you can play games that have been dumped and even modded, wouldn't getting rid of the cart requirement somewhat easy?

Thanks for the email info, thats awesome.

The way I understood it was you still need the cart to boot the game, but it uses the internal files from that point forward. So if its still the same, you can't really pirate off that.

No idea if this will be modified by someone down the line to enable it though.

 

[Perona]

I have the PSM hack working but I'm finding it to not be worth it. Will I need to buy anything for this new hack/should I just update?

 

[Rich!]

3.52 confirmed I guess...

Oh shit.

Yeah this is crazy

 

[Soulflarz]

Enabling piracy doesn't surprise me at all

Something something was only a matter of time something something

edit: but yes id rather that "market" held off until the thing died :/

 

[jrush64]

I just want to play PSX games and use CWCheat. My PSP Go is finally dead.

 

[Kriken]

Neat, now let me go to PSN and... oh, store's down :/

 

[Jarmel]

edit: but yes id rather that "market" held off until the thing died :/

The Vita already is dead.

 

[flux1]

Apparently its going to be released tomorrow. All you need is one e-mail file.

Also installing carts DOES NOT enable piracy as mentioned in this tweet from last month.

https://twitter.com/gabaas1/status/630607348722200576

You need the cart to boot the game. It also seems each vita game has a unique serial number, so you can't even boot an install of the same game from a different cart.

 

[sensui-tomo]

Neat, now let me go to PSN and... oh, store's down :/

gonna be taken down before we can get it :/

 

[Flandy]

So no games required then? Only e-mail app?

 

[MUnited83]

Assuming the dumps can be uncrypted easily, couldnt you just switch the game files of one game for the other , with just the files that indentify the game left? You could do that on PS3 and "mask" games. Theorically one even could do a backup manager that would be able to this process at will with several games using only one CART.
Of course, these are only assumptions on my end.

Although I do question the point of backups if you still need to bring and use the cart to boot it anyways . Well, at least it would allow you for mods/translation patches, like you said, that would be pretty nice, but thats assuming the dumps will even be decrypted any time soon.

 

[sensui-tomo]

Disregard what i said... holy crap

 

[mattiewheels]

So I guess if this is coming tomorrow then it was a different exploit than the one they were talking about on Wololo's page. They were holding that one till PS4 3.0 I believe.

 

[Rich!]

So no games required then? Only e-mail app?

Seemingly so.

 

[Cleve]

gonna be taken down before we can get it :/

There's nothing to get. It's an exploit with the email app.

 

[Flandy]

no, ape quest or a puzzle eu game are required. but psn is down atm.

Seemingly so.

guys pls

 

[beatdowniidx]

Is this going to allow the PSTV to play MGS HD Collection? Would be so much nicer with a ps4 controller D:

yeah this is the only reason i want this hack to install it on my pstv and bypass the white list

 

[jrush64]

So what do I have to do with the email app. Do I just need add an email account or what?

 

[Nyoro SF]

Seemingly so.

Good.

Taiko Vita, your reign of non-PSTV support is over!

 

[Rich!]

So what do I have to do with the email app. Do I just need add an email account or what?

Yeah, it will be a file you email over and then open on the Vita.

It's out tomorrow.

 

[MrHoot]

I might be dumb but what's the email app he's talking about ? EU psn btw

 

[dead souls]

yeah this is the only reason i want this hack to install it on my pstv and bypass the white list

Same here. I only own a PSTV and I want to play Ys Celceta so damn bad.

 

[Enigmatic Rainbow]

The PSTV Whitelist bypass is probably my favorite thing coming from this. Can finally play my copy of Ys MoC and other titles on the TV finally.

 

[Rich!]

I might be dumb but what's the email app he's talking about ? EU psn btw

It's preinstalled on your console. Look on your home menu

 

[jrush64]

Yeah, it will be a file you email over and then open on the Vita.

It's out tomorrow.

Ok thank you. My PS TV is on firmware 3.20. I got it during that sony store sale.

Is that firmware good enough for hack also.

 

[flux1]

I imported a JP one just to play and never got into it as I figured I'd need a translation guide.

I would have bought a US one if they enabled support, but since this is coming first I'll get a used US one instead.

Still, having the JP version is a nice novelty since I like the Ys series.

 

[Rich!]

Maybe. I don't know yet, you may want to update. Full details tomorrow.

 

[MrHoot]

Oh thanks. I put it in a folder called "Shit I don't use". No wonder !

 

[ThisIsMyName]

Oh thanks. I put it in a folder called "Shit I don't use". No wonder !

Time to take it out of that folder....

 

[Rich!]

Oh thanks. I put it in a folder called "Shit I don't use". No wonder !

Said every Vita owner ever


Including me

 

[Rich!]

Such a kickass week for homebrew. Firstly the insane progress of retroarch on the New 3DS over the past few days, the WUP downloader and GameCube pad as the pro controller hack for the Wii U and now this!

I can play full speed SNES on my 3DS and use a GameCube controller to play Mario 3D world and Wind Waker HD. Two weeks ago neither were possible.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

Really, all I want is the package installer back.

I guess an N64 emulator would be pretty tight too.

Been a crazy week.

“Searching for a cheap Vita on Ebay“ which is the “best“Vita to get? Oled? Or LCD? Pros and cons?

 

[MrHoot]

If anything, I won't be hacking vita games much if at all but i'll be crazy happy to have old console emulation (well, granted if emulators work already for vita).

Playing gameboy game was the comfiest on psp and I lost mine some time ago and felt lazy to rebuy one cheap

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Is the e-mail app stock on Vitas? Like, it comes with it out of the box?

 

[Spiegel]

Hoping for a Dreamcast emulator.

Would be nice to replay Shenmue I&II there.

 

[MUnited83]

It does.

Thats a bit ambitious . At least it should do Nintendo 64 nicely.

 

[Rich!]

“Searching for a cheap Vita on Ebay“ which is the “best“Vita to get? Oled? Or LCD? Pros and cons?

I had an oled, then swapped for a Slim.

Slim is amazing. Significantly better ergonomics, better battery life, 1GB internal memory, start and select buttons are better, it has a standard micro USB port for charging and linking and the screen is the best LCD I've seen on a handheld console.

Will never go back. The only benefit the original has is maybe the OLED, and even then that's down to personal preference.

and an xbox 360 emulator

jokes and i want my gba emulator back i loved it ..

 

[Cleve]

“Searching for a cheap Vita on Ebay“ which is the “best“Vita to get? Oled? Or LCD? Pros and cons?

I've owned both. I stuck with the slim one because I found it comfier to hold. Also, my lcd screen is comparable to the oled unit I had, but I hear that can be a bit of a crapshoot.

 

[TC McQueen]

Yup.

We'd need a full native exploit for that. Rejuvenate is pretty limited in what it can do, although it's way better than what the ePSP stuff achieved.

 

[Rich!]

Yup.

lol

That's exactly what is being released here, dude. Rejuvenate is old news now.

 

[MUnited83]

Yup.

You gotta read the last couple pages

Thanks, this is awesome. I expect better performance than on a pi 2 with retroarch. I mean this is all I want. A mobile console with good emulation support. Many years I waited, now it seems to be there (yeah, I know of 3ds but seriously, it doesn't stand a chance against vita). Even the tv now seems interesting to me (and my pi can finally be turned into a router).

 

[chrominance]

There's a tutorial on using the email app for dumping any file < 2 MB.

No idea if the rest of the batch of tricks/hacks use the email app too though.

Looks like it's a plain sqlite database too, so anyone can read it.

And this isn't sandboxed in any way? Wow. Stunning.
