One of the biggest questions that users have surrounding ARK is compatibility with PSX games. In this post I’ll explain why psx doesn’t work natively on the vita, and how ARK managed to make it work.
First of all, we must know why PSX games won’t work natively, unlike ISOs or Homebrews.
This due to the fact that the PSP used it’s second processor, the Media Engine, to emulate PSX sound, effectively taking some load off the processor and keeping a decent framerate. The problem we are facing on the Vita is the lack of Media Engine, the Vita does not emulate the Media Engine.
So when a PSX game tries to run, it calls the Media Engine functions, but Media Engine doesn’t exists, so the functions don’t either, causing a crash. But, if PSX games crash because of no sound, how are able to make it work? the answer lies in hacking.
In ARK, Coldbird managed to hack POPS to make it accept custom sound plugins (if you have ever used an emulator, you’ll know what a plugin is). For this version of ARK, Coldbird simply injected a dummy sound plugin, meaning there will be no sound, but the game won’t crash cause the dummy plugin will return a generic ok signal, even if it has done absolutely nothing.
Ok so the first step is done, we are able to get PSX games running without crashes, but there is no sound, and we can’t make sound working cause there is no ME, which means to get sound working a plugin must be coded and it must be ran by the CPU.
The only open source sound plugin that came to Coldbird’s mind was PEOPS, so he got to work on it. Did he get any sound at all coming out of PSX games? I’ll let this video answer the question:

via http://wololo.net/2013/01/12/ps-vita...e-uno-exploit/
The PRO team (the people behind the PRO Custom Firmware, probably the most popular piece of software of the PSP scene these days) are back with a huge release: a PSP CFW for the Vita, running on the recently revealed UNO exploit. Codename: ARK
If you’ve been using the UNO exploit, ARK is basically an alternative to Total_Noob’s CEF. At the core, ARK is a port of Pro CFW to the PS Vita, and seems to bring features that might be lacking in CEF. In particular, the Readme emphasizes the following:
Features
•PSX game support (soundless so far, our sound plugin is too glitchy for public use at the moment)
•ISO/CSO game support
•NoDRM Engine for decrypted dlc playback
•MS-SpeedBoost (most noticable on games like soul calibur)
•Stargate Game Patches (fixes several anti-cfw games)
•Customizable Main Menu
•Plugin support
•Recovery support
•ISO-cache support (speed up ISO gaming)
Some of you might remember a leak of some of Coldbird’s work a few months ago, which led him to leave the scene. ARK is the project that was leaked back then (although the leak was encrypted, and therefore not usable), and that the Pro team decided to release today. I assume the decision was taken a while ago, but porting the existing work to the new firmware 2.02 might have taken some time.
Although I haven’t tried this specific build, I was lucky enough to try early builds of the ARK project a few months ago, and overall I was impressed. Coldbird left the scene while he was in the middle of bringing sound support to PS1 games, so it is unclear if the sound plugin for PS1 will ever see the light of day, but independently of that, I am pretty sure ARK brings a nice new option to those of you looking for alternatives to CEF.

via http://wololo.net/2013/01/11/new-exp...-psp-emulator/
We have recently come across what might be a new exploit for the PSP emulator, by a user nikcnamed zaiii, who posted information on our forums as well as a video on youtube. At the moment, we have no confirmation about its legitimacy, but we will be following up.
In a video on YouTube, a hacker appears to have discovered a new exploit in the PSP emulator.
We are not really sure if this is legit because we already have the UNO exploit which wasn’t removed until recently and it seems like most people had the time to grab it.
But nothing on the video makes it look like an obvious fake. The video shows a hello world, and a flame effect similar to some of Wololo’s hello world Proof of concepts from early VHBL developments.

The new-look PSN store is a mighty fine beast, but it can chug a little.
Not anymore, though. Spong reports that Sony has released a 26MB patch that not only increases the speed at which users can browse its catalogue but should also stamp out erroneous error messages.
The HTML5-based store design was rolled out in October and offers a far more modern and visually led experience than the old design, which was well overdue a revamp.
The revamp comes as Sony increases the emphasis it places on the digital distribution of not only ‘small’ titles on the service but also of bigger, triple-A releases.
On Christmas Eve Sony even discounted the price of recent release Far Cry 3 to just £24.99, meaning that for the first time PSN was able to compete with retail on a modern title.

Sony’s PS4 and Microsoft’s next Xbox will both be launched by the end of the year, an analyst has claimed.
As reported by MCV, Baird Equity Research’s Colin Sebastian said the PS4 will be released in October, while Microsoft will launch the new Xbox in November.
He further stated that the next-generation hardware from both companies will also be revealed at E3 in June, and will be built from ‘off the shelf’ high-end PC components.
Sebastian added he expected the consoles to use hybrid physical/digital distribution models, enhanced voice controls and motion sensing – with Kinect integrated with every Xbox.
He said however that “early production issues” could delay the PS4’s release.

FuturLab has announced Velocity Ultra, a native Vita version of its highly praised PS Minis game Velocity.
 Featuring a "completely overhauled" visual style, Trophies and online leaderboards, FuturLab MD James Marsden says it can be thought of "as the director's cut; everything we would have done the first time around if we'd had the budget".While there's no solid release date, the studio's "on track to submit to Sony at the beginning of April, so we are guesstimating a release date in May".
For those hoping for a sequel to the original, Marsden added: "Velocity Ultra is a way for us to establish the Velocity franchise with a wider audience, and we've got plenty more Velocity in the works.
"In fact, we've just published a Velocity Sequel Questionnaire to find out what you want to see in a sequel. If you fill it out, you could win a copy of Velocity Ultra."
Edge described the original as "a new standard bearer" for PS Minis in its 9/10 Velocity review.

A redesigned PlayStation Move? Sony's taken a stab at it before-- but this time around, it's imagining a controller withultrasonic location analysis and Wiimote-like IR tracking. A new patent application details a "method for determining location of a controller," which proposes tracking controller depth by measuring the travel time of sound emitted from the device to the television. Two-dimensional tracking would be managed via the existing Move's visual spectrum camera, or by using a display-mounted IR emitter in conjunction with a remote mounted sensor (again, just like the Wii controller).
Although not technically part of the patent, the application's attached visual aids are pretty creative too -- showcasing a completely redesigned Move wand with swappable button faceplates. One embodiment shows two Move controllers attached end-to-end, mimicking a sword, while another shows a pair side by side, linked by a full gamepad sized faceplate. One bold image shows a player with two devices strapped to his ankles, performing a backwards flip to kick a digital soccer ball -- Sony is apparently very confident about the patent's potential tracking accuracy. We'll reserve judgment until we see the technology in practice, but feel free to read the claims for yourself at the source link below, or simply mosey on past the break to see the aforementioned athlete trying to break his neck.
