PSX Scene - Latest News

Great news for PS3 owners who have not been able to exploit your console's. There is now hope as there is a new exploit for OFW 4.81 on the PS3. Which currently is the latest firmware, but sure to get patched here in the coming days to weeks . so do not update to a future firmware if released by Sony, until you hear about the current exploits and the future potential they are bringing to the table. When i say "they" i mean the 3 developer behind the PS3Xploit Team (bguerville, esc0rtd3w and W). They actually wanted to release the work at later date (as they have not completed all stages of the hack yet),Due to a situation several days ago, a portion of the exploit was leaked nothing significant in itself but would be enough for Sony to close the holes with a patch in a future firmware update that we are expectin. So your seeing the warning not to update your firmware past 4.81 (if update arises) if you want to take advantage of PS3Xploit hack.



Essentially what this all means for you,

This utility that runs on your PS Vita (& PSTV) will add a really cool custom touch to your LiveArea (HENkaku Reg.). As pictured replace those blocks with something a bit more useful for you device with Homebrew Shortcuts. This method now made easier with lupus new tool. Also note a couple unofficial updates have been made by TheHero_ and can be seen over at Brewology's new Vita Store

SwitchView UI is a Homebrew App for HENkaku (vita/pstv) from VitaHEX Games, that as you can see from the pic a Nintendo Switch Influence, while looking like the switch the primary function is a Homebrew Launcher. A great alternative to the LiveArea.

Have you ever heard of "Tetris" well here comes another clone of the iconic puzzle game that seems to never get old. This version by Svennd is really a great adaptation of the famous puzzler, with nice look / feel with enjoyable gameplay. Give it a test on your HENkaku exploited PS Vita / PlayStation TV

This is a game you can't judge by the cover, while looking like a retro classic from the golden age of the atari era this "touchy-the-fish" homebrew creation as the dev details is yet another homebrew powered by LPP (Lua Player Plus) Engine.

While this is not an official release of VitaShell its builds upon the official project by TheFlow, as developer BenM has added various features and elements to the popular utility that is a must have for those HENkaku powered devices.

So okay here is another VitaHEX Release and my personal favorite to this point. Zombiebound 0.1.0 has a gameplay style that many will enjoy as its heavily influenced by CoD Zombie modes, while within a simpler engine (Lua Player Plus) it does impress & is a high quality homebrew game. The homebrew is OpenSource so that means you can add tothis project if you wish. Its great mini game for on the Go with your Vita or on the big screen with your PlayStation TV Powered by of course the HENkaku exploit on 3.60 Vita Firmware

Enhance your picture taking experience with this PS Vita (not for PSTV) Homebrew by the developer (VitaHEX Games). New options and features to customize your photo collection. To run this homebrew you must have a PS Vita on firmware 3.60 running some form of the HENkaku exploit. Installed the vpk file through VitaShell or moleculeShell.

Need to take some notes, well your HENkaku exploited PS Vita or PSTV might be of use in conjunction with this new utlity from VitaHEX Games for your quick note taking needs.While there is several app that already have the ability to take notes, This is another choice with a great UI. Give it a look if you find a need for a note taking app on HENkaku

RetroArch has had it ups and down with the PS3 platform, while one of the original platforms to Run RetroArch as the project grew some of the attention on the PS3 was not quite there and caused various issues and bugs as the developer's had alot of platforms to maintain. However there has been alot of progress (while still more to do) overall most things are starting to stablize and more features are working as they should and more bugs as squashed. As various PS3 devs lead by Ezio have had the fly swatters and bug spray to rid the kinks but this latest version should be very playable but be warned could be certain bugs on certain cores. If you experiance and issue its best to report in the comments and the developers will see your comments and can only speed up the process so be very detailed as possiable, views and screens are a bonus, but again overall this is a very much improved release and one of the best for the PS3 we have seen in sometime.
