dekupk5 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hi, people. Don't get excited, it's not really hacked. ~Rainbow Dash You heard right the Ps Vita has been.... HACKED. Some group managed to get hello world running and will be able to get through the security. I look forward to this as then I will be able to use homebrew to do anything I want.

xdaniel Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 "Hello World for PSP firmware 6.31" implies this is homebrew running in the Vita's PSP emulator, thus it doesn't look like a Vita-side exploit. If that's true, it probably allows PSP homebrew to run on the Vita but doesn't yet mean anything for Vita homebrew. If I remember correctly that's kinda like early Wii stuff, where GCN homebrew worked, which is locked out from all Wii-specific hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I wonder if I'll ever be able to run DaedalusX64 on my future Vita. More importantly, would it run faster than on my present PSP? I assume so, but... penis, yes. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekupk5 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Im not caring as much as I would have if it wasnt region free, sony did it right this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeth Ryder Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hacking already and its not even out yet in Europe or America? O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameus Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well the PS Vita has its own PSP Emulator. I don't see why we couldn't run previous homebrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tjalian Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yeah... a bit misleading! However, good knowledge to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcaith Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I imagine it won't be much of a wait between this and an actual Vita hack/backdoor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdaniel Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 wololo.net: Day-1 Hello World, the PS Vita already hacked? First of all, the exploit happens within the PSP emulator on the Vita, and will not directly give access to the Vita hardware or features. So this can theoretically only allow to run PSP homebrews on the vita (which, to me, is already fairly nice), and also, only User-mode ones ( a game exploit does not give access to the PSP kernel mode, so some tools and functionality is missing, which prevents emulators such as Daedalusx64 for example to run at full speed). [...] As a conclusion there are lots of obstacles to turning this in a useful system for the end user, so as mamosuke states, this is not even step1 for the Vita hacking.

Conker Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I left a message in the original post(and changed the topic title), as that is very misleading. I basically did it because I know the pain all too well of stumbling upon topics with misleading titles. But yes, I hope it does get hacked eventually.

You could have changed it to, "Ps Vita emulator has been hacked" but thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 That title doesn't make too much sense, though. Might be the wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conker Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 OFF TOPIC: That title makes it seem there is an emulator for PS Vita games, that got hacked. Or something. And yes, back on topic: I will, at whatever point I own a Vita, try running a signed GPSP homebrew to see if they fixed the whole thing with the leaked KIRK keys. I hope they didn't, though I am not sure because I saw no mention of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekupk5 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Even if its just the psp part of it that got hacked, the vita has more processing power so wouldn't it be possible for faster homebrew emulation speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tjalian Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Even if its just the psp part of it that got hacked, the vita has more processing power so wouldn't it be possible for faster homebrew emulation speeds? Nope, as presumably the system gets downclocked to PSP-level speeds. Otherwise you'd start to get timing and framerate issues with official PSP games (potentially).

xdaniel Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The emulator could technically ignore/override the game's instructions to set the CPU speed, which is selectable in steps between 1(?) and 333 MHz on a PSP, and just force it to run on 333 MHz. CFW does allow manual speed selection for the XMB, games and I think the PSX emulator individually, and I haven't personally seen any glitches or somesuch on 333 MHz. Of course, if you ex. set the XMB to ex. 50 MHz, you'll get a very very laggy menu system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think younglinkx was referring to was going past the 333Mhz point - which thinking about it is probably feasible however you'd presumably need user-level (at least) access to the Vita... at which point you may as well use the Vita haha, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
