72w ago - Following up on the previous update, today Mysis has updated the PS3 Remote Play Loader Runtime Patcher for PlayStation 3 to include several enhancements as outlined below.

Download: PS3 Remote Play Loader Runtime Patcher Update (SPRX Patch) (for PS3 Firmware 3.55) / PS3 Remote Play Loader Runtime Patcher Update (Complete) (Pack includes the PC software patch too)

From the included ReadMe file via PS3 Developer Wiki, to quote:

Hello fellas,

These patched files should enhance the Remote Play-Feature. Naughty Sony-Developers or propably some smartass manager fcker thought official pc remote play should only be limited to 6x ps3 applications, namely:

• NPEA00135 (VidZone)
  
• BCES00096 (PlayTV)
  
• NPEA90028
  
• NPEA90029
  
• NPJA00001
  
• NPJA00046
  

For 3.55 extract the modified "premo_game_plugin.sprx" + "premo_plugin.sprx" from this package to:

• dev_flash\vsh\module\
  

Now for newer firmwares this idea might work:

72w ago - Following up on his previous update, PlayStation Vita hacker wololo has shared a progress update on the PS Vita Half Byte Loader (HBL).

Additionally, Nabnab has also made available a video showcasing some hidden PS Vita information for those interested!

To quote: A quick report: I'm making some progress on porting HBL to the Vita. Although I'm sad to say that I can't get syscall estimation to work, I got some major homebrews such as Doom to run already, so overall I think it's in an acceptable shape.

Because it is roughly stable now, today I focused on porting HBL to the EU version of the exploited game (I was working - obviously - on the Japanese version of the game so far). This went smoothly and I can confirm HBL runs fine on the EU version of the game, although of course I could only test on a PSP, not on a Vita.

I used the opportunity to refresh my two guides, how to write a binary loader and how to port...

74w ago - Following up on the rumor from last week that a PlayStation Vita Hello World was achieved through a PSP Save Game exploit, today established PSP hacker wololo has confirmed it and stated that a Half-Byte Loader (HBL) is incoming!

To quote: Last week, an exploit on the PS Vita through the PSP emulator was announced by Mamosuke. The exploit was found by Teck4, and, we won't stress it enough, is a PSP exploit that gives us user mode access within the PSP emulator on the Vita. So this is not a Vita exploit per se, but it's still very cool.

Mamosuke confirmed this with a video a few days ago, and today I was able to confirm the exploit myself as shown in the video below (and I must admit that I spent way too much time working on that basic flame effect). The video below shows the exploit running on both a PSP 1000 and the PS Vita.





Here's also a screenshot since there is not autofocus on my stupid camera.

I spent a good amount of time today confirming some of my hopes that it will be possible to run HBL, at least to some extent, with that exploit. It doesn't mean I have...

79w ago - Following up on the PS3 GameData Tool comes an Ext GameData Loader homebrew application for PlayStation 3 external hard disk drives by Jay-Jay.

From the ReadMe File: For those that have multiple external HDDs connected to your PS3 and are using the gameData.pkg (released a few weeks ago) this tool (tweak) may be helpful to you, so you don't have to be swapping USBs in order for the gameDATA app to see your current external HDD as the (1) main ext HDD.

So for those that have been enjoying the latest PSN DUPLEX backup games, but running out of internal HDD space, plus those that have more than one external HDD (and don't wish to be swapping the external HDDs so they can be identified as the (1) USB drive, this will help you.
