PS Vita Finally Hacked: Makes Way For Homebrew Apps, Games and Game Backups
C. de LacyOwners of PS Vita have will have more reasons to keep their PS Vita as a hack that unlocks the systems potential for homebrew apps had been finally released.
The browser-based exploit runs on the latest firmware of 3.60 and it unlocks the hidden potential that the Vita hardware has for homebrew folks. The hack is called "HENkaku."
In order to run the exploit, Vita owners need to visit the official website and follow the instructions provided to unlock their handhelds.
The code then exposes Vita's file system and this will allow the users to access its files through FTP. Through this method, homebrew apps and files can be accessed and executed.
The same exploit works on PS Vita T.V as well.
Available homebrew apps include emulators, tweaks to overclock Vita and even whitelist some games that have been once blocked by Sony from the PlayStation store.
"HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. It installs molecularShell, a fork of VitaShell that lets you access the memory card over FTP and install homebrew packages (which we create as VPK files). "
It should also be noted that the Vita should at least have 10MB of free space in order to successfully install the exploit and have it run with no problems.
"With vita-toolchain, developers have access to the same system features licensed developers have access to as well as undocumented features that licensed developers cannot use including overclocking the processors" Yifan Lu, one of the developers, stated in an announcement.
This will bring more possibilities with the PS Vita since it may appear that even Sony itself abandoned it with no first-party games being released or announced recently.
Just like how it was with Nintendo's 3DS hack with Gateway before, PS Vita's Henkaku hack may also bring the possibility of allowing players to run backup games without the need to purchase the real thing.
