Developer Neur0n Finds New PS Vita Game to Exploit - Wololo Lends a Hand

PSP developer Neur0n recently divulged a user mode exploit for the PS Vita. Today news over at Wololo brings to light yet another game that is exploitable, available on all stores and is almost ready for VHBL on the Vita. Wololo was roadblocked as he could only get 2MB RAM available while running VHBL but needed more than ten times that in order for homebrew to run. Luckily for him the talented Neur0n stepped in, did the impossible and cleared an additional 22MB that Wololo required. Wololo still needs to test this on a PS Vita and is confident it should work. After that the usual tests would have to be performed with various homebrews and states the game release will coincide with Neur0n's.

About VHBL Progress:

Neur0n has been kind enough to share with me the details of his latest user mode exploit, so that I could help porting VHBL to his game on the EU and US versions (yes, the game seems to be available on all stores, and don’t stop reading here, it gets better).

There’s still lots of work to be done: confirm it works on the vita (which should not be a problem since neur0n already confirmed it on the Japanese version), code cleanup, homebrews tests and bug fixes, port to the US version of the game, ….

a game that's on psn. That narrows it down. Maybe I'll get this one before they take it down and patch it.

Yeah and bet you wont see a white one in the US very often...... I wish you could just get many colors of cases to choose from like with nintendo handhelds lately. either way hope I snag this title before its taken down.

Why is it always games you have to purchase from PSN? Why never a cart game? As soon as they announce the title it'll be pulled so only the quickest people can get it. What can they do to stop a cart game from being bought from stores.

They can recall all the carts from the shops. The shops would be forced to send them back and wait for new ones or get a refund for their orders.. There aren't that many cart games either compared to PSN ones.

Actually these exploits works on retail games as well. But they are PSP games. The Vita cant read retail PSP games because it has no UMD drive. The only way to get PSP game on Vita is to buy them from PS Store.

Wait, is this actually a Vita Homebrew Loader? Or some bullshit pigeon-holed PSP Homebrew enabler for the Vita?
If the Vita has indeed been hacked then this is a massive deal. If not then I couldn't care less.
Poorly worded article.
