I love how this thread has been dead for nearly the past week then suddenly when RW access to more of the vitas partitions was gained all of a sudden people start popping out of the woodwork again.
Awkward. BahahahaThank you for letting us know that you have updated to the latest firmware. I mean, you took the trouble to personally visit the homebrew forum just to let us know that you cannot use homebrew.
And regarding your stance on piracy, I saw this post of yours -

Not everyone uses HENkaku to pirate you know.. Some of us are just genuinely curious in seeing the scene evolve and what magic developers can make happen on the Vita that Sony couldn't.
We're already seeing that with Moonlight, and ports of Open Source games. (Which if you have the game bought, is 100% legal unlike emulation. Where even if you own and dump the cart yourself, it's illegal.)
not every country, for example in canada until maybe 2014(?) it was not illegal (legal) - and i think still now in switzerland it is legal? i think also spain.What is illegal is downloading ROMs off of the internet.
(2) seems a bit easier, provided you can patch all relevant checks and have the necessary decryption keys (I doubt PSN uses something similar to the 3DS eShop ticket system). A first step would be to get the non-DRM demos installing without being in IDU mode, once we have Super HENkaku (open up kernel mode) using an open-source .pkg installer.
Take a leaf out of the PS3's book. The NPDRM systems seem pretty similar from where I'm standing.
There's nothing on vitadevwiki about the VITA implementation of npdrm, so I wouldn't be able to comment on that. For PS3 a lot of research has been done, so maybe that can be of some help understanding how VITA works.
One thing is "properly" installing the title, another thing is getting it to run. Perhaps the .pkg installing will never be done.
perhaps getting it to run can be (using pre-decrypted titles with a custom loader)
I should have bee specific, but in most places, dumping your own carts is still illegal. Emulation isn't as it's a grey area, obtaining Roms is.Woah, woah, woah, emulation is 100% legal.
What is illegal is downloading ROMs off of the internet. It doesn't matter if you own the game or not. You're only allowed to make backups of your own copies of the games (Which I've done with all my PS1 and Sega CD games).

Problem is, to dump a game you almost always have to get by some sort of copy protection. Just because a psx game is on a Cd, doesn't mean you can freely make a back up since you HAVE to mod yout playstation to play backupsIn germany (and I assume alot of other countries see it the same way) it is allowed to dump games if you don't bypass any copy-protection and it's your game, while a proprietary format are seen as "hardware copy-protection" => PSX dumping is ok, SNES dumping is not legal.
Good luck to proof that I haven't made the dump but that I have downloaded it

still needs to be confirmed - follow it here i thinkLooks like piracy is possible, someone cracked the eboot encryption.

although, if it's happening from china, i bet they are already talking about it on their chinese forums, so... anyone want to look?

Whoa neat. Did the guy share his method so other people can do it?
inb4 it's another devkit dump and all the pirateknobs cry their eyes out.
what about if it's real, and more games get dumped and a method gets released - will you be crying your eyes out because we have piracy?inb4 it's another devkit dump and all the pirateknobs cry their eyes out.
