Players will experience an incredible journey as they visit seven different kingdoms and battle against evil dark lords that have captured the royal princesses."

Updated Open CMA, Fixes Errors

September 10th, 2012, 22:22 Posted By: wraggster

via http://wololo.net/2012/09/10/updated...-fixes-errors/

A new version of the Open CMA for Vita 1.80 has been made to easily fix the errors alot of people have been receiving. (This also fixes the music/video bug!)Tutorial for the new version:
- Extract the archive in your CMA folder (program files/Sony/Content Manager Assistant by default)
- Quit the CMA if it is running on your PC
- Execute “run.bat” (you need to run it in “Admin mode” on windows 7
- That’s it, now the CMA should run without requiring to be connected to the internet
Its recommended that you do use open CMA when the vhbl files come out. Open CMA for those who do not know is the content manager to copy files to the vita and back but without any internet connection unlike the official Sony CMA. It will also not sneak a patch or do a forced firmware update on your device if one comes out and it will not send any data to Sony about whats being copied, edited, transferred or crashes.

PSP was overrun by ports admits Sony

September 10th, 2012, 19:56 Posted By: wraggster

A lot of content was 'thrown over' from the PS2 by developers to the handheld, says marketing VP

Sony’s PSP handheld was overrun by console ports affecting its sales in the West, the console giant’s marketing VP has admitted.
Speaking to Gamasutra, John Koller said that despite its success it became difficult to define the console’s unique capabilities due to a lack of original IP.

He said many developers had simply "thrown over" a lot of content to the handheld from the PS2, rather than taking advantage of the PSP’s own functionalities, and hoped this was a mistake Sony would not repeat with Vita.
"The issue that happened with PSP is we got overrun with ports," said Koller.
“It became very difficult for us to define what made PSP unique. The content development became a bit unstructured or decentralized, in that we got a lot of content that was on PlayStation 2 and got thrown over to the handheld."

Large Sony dev team supporting Skyrim for PS3

September 10th, 2012, 14:38 Posted By: wraggster

But console giant cannot promise any kind of resolution or timeline to bug fixes, says VP Adam Boyes

Sony is providing a large development support team to work with Bethesda on fixing the various issues affecting blockbuster RPG Skyrim on PS3.
Since release on the console the title has been plagued by a number of bugs, such as struggling to cope with the amount of game data as a player progresses through their game.

Bethesda has also recently revealed that it was not positive it could solve the problems surrounding the release of DLC Dawnguard, which was released in June for Xbox 360 and PC owners.
The studio said it was unsure if it could make the game plable to an acceptable quality, given the sizeable content added in the expansion.
It also admitted that it could not commit too many developers to fix the issues as it had other expansions in the works.

Project PSIO - PS1 SD Card Adapter News

September 9th, 2012, 19:10 Posted By: wraggster

More exciting news today is the Project PSIO, a project to have a SD Card Adapter for the PS1, heres the details:

Project PlayStation Input Output (pronounced sigh-oh) is a project in development that will allow you to back up your PlayStation CD-ROM's and let you then play them directly off an SD card on the actual PlayStation 1 console.
We have also gone to the trouble of adding a PS1 Development section for the users who would like to program and share their work. This is basically a way of replacing the Yaroze server that Sony shutdown a few years ago, as well as preserving and providing a free and dependent backup of the SDK's, tools, manuals, code and much more that are impossible to now find.
Regards, The PSIO Team.

Hack disks True Blue?

September 9th, 2012, 12:54 Posted By: wraggster

via http://ps3.gx-mod.com/modules/news/a...p?storyid=3134

When True Blue was launched last year, he used special discs engraved to play games instead of Eboots.

Even after all the releases of the Team, there were some games that did not. Since last year a lot of teams have looked over and they have finally discovered the "BCA codes" that can now be burned to Blu-ray regular. At present, these codes leaked by 'OxweB' that can be seen with a magnifying glass, is not yet usable, but the rate things are going now, it could be that the latest security True Blue also falls.

VHBL on the Monster Hunter exploit

September 9th, 2012, 12:45 Posted By: wraggster

Via http://wololo.net/2012/09/08/vhbl-on...exploit-video/

I forgot to upload the “proof of concept” video this morning when I announced Neur0n’s exploit for Monster Hunter, so there you go.

In this video, we are running the exploit (which is done by going to the “Download” section of the game), I then go to the “savegame” section of the memory stick in order to install some homebrews: Wagic and CSPSP. Wagic seems particularly long to install, but this is because its resource file is a single 40MB file which takes a little while to extract an copy. You can then see me play both Wagic and CSPSP on the PS Vita through the exploit.

New Vulnerability Found in PSP Game

September 9th, 2012, 12:43 Posted By: wraggster

via http://wololo.net/2012/09/08/4th-times-the-charm/

A vulnerability has been found by Neur0n a few months ago in a PSP game, and this vulnerability has been leveraged to port VHBL in order for us to run PSP homebrews on the Vita. Following the request of many Vita owners, this announcement was postponed to wait for the release of Vita firmware 1.80, a firmware that brings PS1 compatibility.



As usual, we’ve let the members of our forums know about the vulnerability a few weeks in advance, in order to let them buy and download the game before Sony pulls it from their store. Protip: If you’re a member of our community and haven’t seen the announcement by now, you probably need your eyes checked (unless you joined in the past 24h).

Hmm, this one might hurt a little bit, given how successful this game is on the PSP…



Disclaimer: This announcement comes with absolutely no guarantee of you successfully running VHBL on your machine. We’ve been testing this for a while now, but there’s always the possibility something gets patched between this announcement and the release.

The game used for Neur0n’s VHBL port is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, also known as Monster Hunter Portable 2ndG in Japan. Similar vulnerabilities exist in Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and in Monster hunter Portable 3rd, for which we also have VHBL ports (although I haven’t personally tested these ones).







We expect Sony to pull the game from their stores within the next 48h, so if you are interested in homebrews, you might want to buy that game asap before it is out. For those who worry that we are sacrificing one of the best titles of the PSP in the name of homebrews, please keep in mind that so far the PSP games used in VHBL exploits have always returned to the PSN after a patch has been pushed by Sony.

I don’t expect brainless gamers to read that far, so I assume this blog will, once again, be filled with comments in the form of “you guys are killing the vita”, “this will lead to piracy”, “why would you guys prefer to play pong over Uncharted?”, “hackers should die”, “OMFG leave Sony alone they already have so much trouble with the bad Vita sales” or, my favorite one “wait until Sony removes psp support from the Vita because of you”. But in case you read that far, I just want to remind everyone that VHBL has never led to PSP or Vita piracy in its 2 years and a half of existence.

Well, that’s it, hurry up and buy the game. It also happens to be a very popular franchise, so if only for the game itself, it’s probably worth it.

Oh, by the way, some people mentioned that the game only supports one save slot. This is true. If you actually want to play the game, you will have to regularly swap your own save and the VHBL save.

Once you have downloaded and installed the game, it is recommended that you do not update your console. In particular, do not update the CMA client. The VHBL files will be released, as usual, after the game gets pulled from the store.
