There is little reason to be on firmware 3.69 right now. However, if you’re an unlucky buyer of a 3.69 console or run 3.69 on your second console for whatever reason, you may be in luck as Qwikrazor87, who released ARK for 3.60-3 a while ago, is apparently working on an ePSP hack for FW 3.69!
By analysing a string of tweets from the last couple of hours, Qwikrazor87 has revealed to us that:
He’s working on exploiting the ePSP software on PSVita/PSTV devices running FW 3.69
Currently, he has 5 different kernel exploits on hand and he can use 3 of these as he’s saving the other 2
His time working on this may be limited as he’s having some legal trouble so don’t except a release just yet
Apart from revealing information about what he has, he also suggests that you download a PSP game (or mini; a demo might work as well but Qwikrazor87 hasn’t confirmed this) off PSN and back it up via QCMA. This way, you’ll have a backup that you can easily modify with psvimgtools and potentially inject the ARK payload into. Qwikrazor87 also suggests that you head over to http://cma.henkaku.xyz/ and grab your CMA key by using the AID generated by QCMA on your PC.
