Vita hacked?

[Foxi4]

That's a Tron refference, he's saying much more than just End of Line.

On Topic, I wouldn't think this as hacking the console just yet...we don't know whether or not we have full access to the system, so for now let's just call this an exploit.

SudokuHax was an exploit.

Exploits are a type of hacks.

Exploits enable hacks.

Nnnope, these are all hacks in themselves. They enable unsigned code to be ran. Huge difference.

An exploit is a type of hack.

You know, like how you can cut somebody's hand off and use it to pass a biometric scanner... or trick them into doing it for yout themselves.

 

[Foxi4]

Seeing that an Exploit is a specifically modified save file/system file/whatever which has the purpose of launching code or bypassing certain security measures, it's a hack in my book, and that's that. People can agree or disagree, at the end of the day it's a matter of nomenclature.

I'm more interested in the retro emulation side of Vita than its games, so that's the only reason i could care for a hack. PS2, GC emulation in your hands.

Anyways it might be while before that happens.

good lord id love ps2 emu ...one that works really well. I never got to play some of the great RPGs on the system, particularly some of the very hard to find (or stupidly over priced) SMT games. Even though i know id pirate some vita games (50$ for some games can be a bit much when your a full time collage student) PS2 emu would be a top of the list for me.

btw how big are games like uncharted digitally?

Smallest game is Ridge Racer at 561MB
Largest game is Blazblue Continuum Shift II Plus at 3.18GB

To be perfectly honest, the most interesting part of this video is the clear presence of a driver for the Vita as a standard USB device. I'd hate it if I had to use the manager for every transfer - Foxi likes his Explorer much better than MediaGo or any other kind of bloatware.

There is no driver there...all you can see is a program that displays information on the connect USB device. Nabnab is however working on a driver for the Vita (cross-platform). A driver though, is not necessarily going to do what you are talking about. Many devices have drivers (all non-plug'n'play USB devices in fact), only a few show up in Explorer. Having said this, nabnab also mentioned he wants to mount the memory card (i.e. make it accessible like a removable disk), and presumably his driver will incorporate that provided he can manage it.

EDIT: Also, quote from nabnab over at ps3news.com:

USB Debug mode allow more than we expect but it's pretty unstable for now
Every person who have a PS Vita can do it and without anything else than a PS Vita and computer

That would be absolute poetry, thanks for the info.

I can't believe it for now.

Just go and party all, if it is hacked that would be nice for us. If not good as well!

I know it will eventually happen. ;D

wow, a 2d fighting game is bigger then the voiced cinematic uncharted O.o; almost hard to believe.

It's has a visual novel aspect to it too and from what I've heard, it's quite long.

Gotta have those HQ sprite boobs and voices.

There are gonna be sceptics, but the guy who did it- good on you Nab

If piracy starts early on the Vita, I will certainly buy it.

does agreeing with you make me a horrible person too?

If piracy starts this early though, Sony might as well cancel all future gameplans for the PSV, they'll hardly make the deserved profit with them.
