HENkaku is already being reverse engineered.
The entire point of the KOTH challange is to attract more developers and make the Vita like the PSP was.
Just releasing the source would end up with a backuploader and very little to 0 homebrew interest.
Besides, it's not like the Vita has much games anyway.
I say no.
I'd really like to see how long it takes for others to completely reverse engineer the exploit.
A lot can be learned from it.
That's wasted time and it will be a long time for a dead system.
If the Chinese or Japanese person who released the xandu game is to be believed he said he might release the tool that decrypts eboot's for vita games.
yifanlu DID release HENkaku, though.Not if he's like yifan_lu

@Topic:
It's up to yifanlu; one does whatever he wants with his code as long as it doesn't harm other parties.
Yiffypoo is never going to release the source code. Just deal with it tbh.Fail because no voting buttons / poll thread.

I don't disagree with this approach. It can get people motivated to learn something, so I guess I am all for it.
It has the side effect of everyone bothering everyone else for their knowledge, but you have to break some eggs, right?

I'm theorizing that this whole Henkaku thing was just a stunt to land a job at a cryptotech company. Kinda like how Smea landed an internship at Microsoft for his work on the 3DS scene. What a cuck.
I was joking and making fun of how pointless and cluttered threads like this one make this place.
i think the KOTH challenge is good because its going to get other Devs out there really thinking about RE Henkaku, thus they will get a deeper understanding as to what they can achieve with it.
So many people want things handed to them on a plate...i cant quite grasp that concept? to really appreciate things in life you need to work for them and earn it!
i have no hope of ever learning anything to do with henkaku or creating hombrews, my hat goes off to anyone with the talent to do those things.

"yifanlu DID release HENkaku, though" Were talking about the SOURCE CODE for Henkaku
He said that if nobody reverses the game in a period of time he will reevaluate the options, dont fight with him sadly he is the creator and he has the advantage
That means he could probably release the source"reevaluate the options" that can mean anything
