30w ago - 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!

- Create an ZIP archive of the homebrew, saved as: ‘FILENAME.ZIP/PSP/GAME/*THE_HOMEBREWS_NAME*/EBOOT.PBP’.
- “FILENAME.ZIP” can be saved somehow, it just MUST BE UPPER CASE LETTER and the filename can ONLY BE 8 CHARACTERS LONG.

Install ISO/CSO
- Copy backup file to the savedata folder, UPPER CASE LETTER, 8 CHARACTERS LONG (e.g. BACKUP.ISO).

DATA.TN
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.

The Z: By the way, the readme says something interesting about PSX emulation:

PRO Firmware by
coldbird &
virtuous flame is an Aftermarket Firmware for PlayStation Portable. It's licensed under the GPLv3, and thus is under full control of the community, made by users for the users. It will continue to provide you with new features, even after Sony drops the platform and allows you to develop your own applications for PSP.
Features:
Homebrew Compatible
- Run your own unsigned applications, both user and kernel mode. Plugin Compatible
- Add new features to your PSP via kernel mode background plugins. ISO / CSO Game Dump Playback
- Backup your own UMD discs via USB and play them from Flash Storage. 2g+ Memory Range Unlock
- Use the previously locked RAM range within your own homebrews. NODRM Engine
- Use your bought DLCs, no matter on which PSN account you are currently logged in. PSX Emulator Unlock
- Play your PSX classics, yes - all of them. Not just PSN titles. And a lot more...
Remember to turn on the wifi when you use it and that if you leave it there without doing nothing for some minutes at all it shuts down.
Playing Gungnir with a couple of cwcheats activated and I have no problems at all.
You have just to get used to how things works on the Vita (structure for the homebrews, where they go, names in caps (extensions too!!), max 8 characters, and so on...).
If, when you move a folder from pc to the root of the ms you don't see it, just close the ftp connection on pc, close the program (i use filezilla), start it again and connect to the Vita ftp again and it should be there.
Or just create a new folder on the root of the ms, rename it (seplugins for example) and just put the contents in it from the folder on your pc.

From his blog: Despite conspiracy theorists who would love to see us not deliver, here’s, as promised, Teck4′s port of Total_Noob’s eCFW to a new game exploit for the game Gravity Crash Portable.
As “expected”, the game Gravity Crash Portable was removed from all Sony PSN locales yesterday, following our announce 3 days ago of a vulnerability being discovered in that game, that would allow a malicious attacker to run Super Mario Bros on your Vita.
Hopefully, people who missed the Monster Hunter AND Urbanix AND Mad blocker alpha exploits had enough luck this time to catch this 4th game in time before it got pulled.
Teck4 ported TN’s CEF to the Gravity Crash game in JP, while Frostegater adapted this work to the EU and US versions. Total_Noob’s CEF is a tool running within the PSP Emulator of the Vita, which will allow you, among other things, to run most PSP homebrews (see a good selection of great homebrews and emulators here) and PSP plugins. Tools such as the Vita FTP will also simplify your file transfers, compared to the tedious official Content Manager Assistant.
Thanks to TheZ for a video of the tool in action:
HOW TO INSTAL AND USE
Installation and usage are explained in the readme (thanks Frostegater!), but here they are again:
Copy both savedata folders to PSVita by CMA(Open CMA is preferred)
Run game->Editor->Press START->Load level->Choose “exploit”->
Save level
Enjoy
