Video: PS Vita PSP Kernel Exploit (ISO Loader) Demo, Files Leaked

[PS3 News]

Following up on the PlayStation Vita TN-B Urbanix and Mad Blocker Alpha and Gravity Crash releases, this weekend Total_Noob has released TN-C eCFW for PS Vita handheld console owners with details below.

To quote: Developer Total_Noob has released TN-C eCFW with a huge list of improvements including compatibility for the Motorstorm and Super Collapse exploits. TN-C has also now become open source. Keep reading!

The long awaited and highly anticipated update to TNmenu by developer Total_Noob for all exploits is finally here, bringing a substantial update to just about everything. With TN-C Total_Noob has added compatibility for those still holding out on the Motorstorm and Super Collapse 3 exploits; something he was testing a while back.

TN has also made this release open source which means other developers will be able to build and add new features to TN-C. With this release Total_Noob also released a statement that this will be most likely his last release. It’s very sad news; we can only say thanks and best wishes in your future endeavors.

“As promised, here is the new open sourced TN-C. This is probably my last release, because my priority is still familiy, friends and school If you continue my project, please keep it open source and call it ‘TN’ Best wishes.

~Andy, aka Total_Noob”

The release is packed with tons of bug fixes, fixes for compatibility issues and has an entirely new look. TN listened to users and fixed everything, making it the best TN release thus far. You can find a list of the full release and new features below including a tutorial on installing ISO/CSO and homebrew by TN. The download links can be found at the bottom with a preview of it. Enjoy!

• “FILENAME.ZIP” can be saved somehow, it just MUST BE UPPER CASE LETTER and the filename can ONLY BE 8 CHARACTERS LONG.

This is a ZIP file which contains images for TN Menu.

Source Code

CEF TN got open sourced by GPLv3. I am tired of programming and give you guys the job continue it. Please respect the license, make it open source. It also contains ‘popcorn’ which is a beta module for psx support. Perhaps a master can finish it with sounds.

Just a quick question, is there going to be more exploits made? because my friend just told me about it and hey i have a vita!

cheers for whoevers answers my question

[G Sus]

exploits are a 2 part thing, theyre not just made they're found. sony will release a game and a weakness will be found in it, then an exploit will be written for that game.

so to answer your question. yes i think at sometime another game is likely to be found with a weakness. and yes as soon as it does someone will exploit it.

as for whether the exploit is much use is another question.. and for that answer only time will answer that. sorry if the answer seems vague

[Tidusnake666]

I think, after so much 24/7 patrol for these exploits, I'm willing to give up them in favor of new 2.00 firmware and a bunch free vita PS+ games: Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack, Chronovolt (only for EU), FFT: War of lions (US only), Wipeout 2048 (US only) - and a dozen of 20% discounts. Not to mentioan alot of free PS+ games for PS3.

Sony made a smart move, combating piracy with awesome offers. I'll stick with my psp once again for psp backups and homebrew. Although I loved using vita for it, I must admit

[Renold]

I still have 5 games to play emulated on vita and then I will decide what to do. They could have been more if only Half-minute Hero 2, Trails in the Sky 2 and 3, Grand Knights History, FF Type-0, Persona 2 EP and others would have been released.

(P2EP could still happen but I don't have so much confidence in Atlus anymore... they used to bring lots of games every year but now they just focus on very few projects).

[GrandpaHomer]

Sadly - have most of the Vita games already so not much for me to benefit from PS+ offer ... Sony is VERY smart by offering as "free" games always those, which sels best so they have lowest loss possible on those - most of the people interrested in those games have them already anyway.

[Renold]

Exactly. Uncharted? Got it. And resold it after a couple of hours. Wipeout 2048? Got it. Completed the "game" (a little more than a demo...), completed the HD remake and almost completed the Fury remake (got both for free because I had already bought them for my PS3).

FFTWOTL? Got the original on PSX. I had on PSP too but I resold it. I don't like the other games in the offer...

I could update if they gave me for free something like Ragnarok Odyssey...or YS-Celceta, but it won't happen in a million years.

If tomorrow we suddenly got an only playable HD Vita version of Trails in the Sky 2 I would update in the blink of an eye. But this it's not gonna happen too..

BTW, I've never updated my Vita. I bought it used with some games and It came with 1.81 installed. So, I was wondering: are the updates stealthly forced if I got the wi-fi running or will they pop up only if I try to use the store or the PSN? That Vita ftp is very useful...

[bolaraton]

good news!! trying...
