Well, they'll need to supply some sort of unoficcial sdk, right?
Right so, anyone who is below 3.52, stay tuned and keep an eye on the scene news. If you need to update for this hack (signs are you need 3.30 to 3.52), it may be your only chance before Sony block it.
Nope.
In fact, doom is already ported iirc.

Holy...I'm afraid to go to bed tonight in fear of missing some important update!
Btw thank you for all the help!Ruud_Luiten

This, I need another Vita!
The code is already to a large degree. Vita has an arm processor which means retroarch will happen as it already has emulators written for arm. A lot, actually.
Yes, it might take a while to build binaries which can be executed in the environment but seriously, I don't think it will be long. Vita can't be much different than other systems.
Yep.

So, you won't simply be able to dump your games when this comes out tomorrow and then run them, right? Somebody will have to program that functionality?
I ask because, I know everyone is saying the system is already dead, but Digimon: Cyber Sleuth isn't coming out until 2016. While I'm happy this is happening, because of the whitelist functionality for the TV, I'm going to be super sad if the localization ends up getting canceled because of this.

I....had actually forgotten about that. Still, it would be nice to have on the go.
Again though, I'm not trying to be a debbie downer. It was just the first thing that popped into my head.

I do however hope it doesnt stop the next digimon vita game from coming over... otherwise we gotta have someone do translation fixes... and not announce them until they are done because i've seen enough games get C&Ded for translation fixes.

nope. there was a tonne of confusion (which I got caught up in) as this exploit was kinda out of the blue.

Awesome. Thanks for everything you for homebrew and emulators here on GAF.
So does this mean that we could see emulators on the Vita? I'd love to run GBA on it.

no gba core yet though, oddly - but I presume we will have one available within the next few days.
Apparently, all you need to do is update to 3.52. The exploit was found on the e-mail app, which comes preinstalled on every Vita.
Just set up an email account on the app and, well, wait for tomorrow.
edit:
I said goddamn.
The next thing I hope comes out is a way to enable Unity to work without having to screw around with a license key every day or pushing apps from PC. I haven't bothered setting it up before now because of all that. Guess I finally will on my 3.51 system tomorrow.
The only other problem keeping the PSTV from being one of the best emu solutions is the damn prices on the memory cards. Guess I'll break down and get a 16gb now.

Wait, what?
We already have emulators for Vita. No PSP or PSM limits?

Vita is a 3-4 year old cellphone with buttons
most of the work for getting things done already happened when mobile ports of those emulators happened

I would give just about anything to be able to play GBA on Vita, hope the core lands soon.
Wait so this "hack" beats out the PSM hacks from recent? I thought that having PSN/Unity app made sure you could use Native Vita homebrews?
How the heck did they do this on 3.52 without those apps? Im on 3.18....will this hack top that old one? Only reason Im still on it is full sound PSX games with TN-X.
I have a Japanese VitaTV. Still on FW 3.20. I think I may have to update both soon.

So is there like ANYTHING I need to do to prepare for this? Anyway to block updates? Any games need to be downloaded or do I need any carts?
Or just the default ass friggin email app.

Would I be able to move the exploit files and what not from one memory card to another?
Oh ok.
So anyone know if Emulation of old system is still limited by PSP mode? Or are they native vita homebrew ports (like the ones used in Rejuvinate) playable on 3.52 without PSM/Unity app method?
hooly shit, these guys arent kidding. the email app is totally open. typical sony. how on earth did no one notice this before?
You can email yourself a simple link (email:send?attach=ur0:shell/db/app.db. for example) and then your vita attaches that specified file from your Vita to a new email. I've just copied a whole load of shit off my console's NAND using this method.

Does anyone know if those emulators mentioned support rom loading via network rather than storing on local storage?
It's completely native.

Do I need the thunderbird program on my PC or just my normal email website?
behold, the contents of my Vita's database files:
anything that can send a hyperlink.
