Sony promised that PS Vita would get that PSX compatibility but nothing yet to avail, that’s not gonna stop this anonymous developer though, as apparently he got himself playing some PS1′s ninja game on his Vita. It has been known that the developer has been getting access to a kernel exploit running on the PSP emulator built...
PS3 scene started getting serious when fail0verflow revealed their ‘epic fail’ research on the console’s security along with the PS3 tools release (which has been taken down several times). 2 days ago, we get to see the release of the Vita tools which is the equivalent version of fail0verflow’s hard work, this...

The main “trick” is to register your PS Vita as “mobile phone” , so that’s about it.

Recently, SKFU tweeted something very interesting…
VITA is back to life, since last tweet found 2 new possibile vulnerabilities. If it runs good, news in blog this evening!
And has shared a screenshot (above) showing some HTML stuff in place of the usual system update message from Sony.
Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) bills are not the right way to fight against piracy. Tell Congress you don’t want SOPA and PIPA!
Excerpt from Google:
Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.
Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
A new firmware for the PS Vita handheld system has been released. Now that this firmware is available, if you attempt to transfer files to the PS Vita via Sony’s Content Management Assistant (CMA) app on your computer, you must first update to firmware v1.52. Also, if you have your Wi-Fi enabled on the PS Vita, the system will ask to perform an update. However, if you have Virtuous Flame’s open CMA installed on your computer, you don’t have to worry about updating to this firmware when attempting to transfer files.
And we don’t have confirmation yet as to whether this firmware patches Teck4′s exploit and/or Half-Byte Loader.
Developer wololo has managed to port Half-Byte Loader (HBL) to US and EU versions of PS Vita systems. According to wololo, this is a port/update as it contains additional tweaks to get additional homebrew apps to work. Since this task is done, the next step for wololo is documentation. And if Sony decides not to patch Teck4′s exploit, after the release of HBL, work on HBL for PS Vita will resume.
Developer wololo has published an FAQ that may help answer questions regarding the Half-Byte Loader running on the PS Vita system. You’ll find answers to ISO (backups), homebrew apps, kernel mode, etc.
The information below is an excerpt from wololo.net.
wololo says:
We’ve seen through Teck4′s exploit that PSP exploits run flawlessly on the PSP emulator of the Vita. I’ve spent the past 3 weeks working on leveraging Teck4′s exploit and port HBL to it. I’ve been receiving lots of questions (probably from people who haven’t used HBL back when it was the only possible way to play homebrews on the PSP Go) and will try to answer them here.
Open CMA r3 is now available for download. This release blocks the PS Vita Content Management Assistant (CMA) from upgrading and prevents it from sending POST to the PlayStation server.
Changelog for r3:

What an amazing achievement! Wololo has managed to get 12 more homebrew apps working on the PS Vita via the Half-Byte Loader (HBL)–all by stabilizing the HBL for Teck4′s exploit. Check out the video after the break.
