i was thinking...cant we do something like this? ive never used the content manager before so i have no idea..

first backup some game using content manager then connect another vita and then restore it or just copy that folder to another PC and just transfer using that content manager to their respective vita????? that way cant we share games??

 

just was trying to copy the folder to the folder of another account and it said "the game can only be copied to owners account" then i copied the license file of another game into that folder and only replaced the license file the copy process went half way and it showed "some content cannot be copied" if we could edit that license file to work someway..i think we can share games and play...just a thought im not sure though

 

oki how long do u think itll take for the vita to get hacked.

 

Not necessarily... Almost assuredly the keys used for backups are the individual keys for each system. It's not impossible that a way is discovered to 'acquire' the individual system keys (or they may be "PSN user Vita keys", depending on how complex Sony's system is... after the PS3, probably this latter option) without getting the private signing keys. In which case, it may be possible to decrypt someone else's game then reencrypt with the personal vita key. This wouldn't be the same as having the true private key and being able to sign anything we wanted (the actual game executable would undoubtedly be signed by that, meaning it'd still have to be a valid Sony approved game or file)

That is, of course, only theorizing. We won't know which way the Vita hacking scene will go in the end and because of that we won't have any sort of estimate. That said, the system was only just released so there is plenty of time for all of those shenanigans and I much like the fact that beyond Wololo's PSP-on-vita hack we haven't heard much (which means the big boys are working on it instead of bragging and posturing)

 

@xac3l3g3ndx its better if the game library builds up a little before it gets hacked..or its good even if its hacked now but only to play PSP isos for now coz im stuck with just one game, games are very expensive in india

 

i can't make sense of what you just said mate. how can having data on your HDD create you financial problems? unless you need to buy more HDDs? but considering i get 500gb for 45£ or less in an external enclosure for my lappy, it is fairly decent price.

Also, yeah hacking vita now would be pointless, it would die in its first year and get abandoned by developers. Still, if sony made running your own code possible ( say a set of keys to sign homebrews?) a lot of people wouldn't bother hacking the vita, as most just want to mess with it and see what it is capable of, plus a decent video player ( support for .avi .mkv etc.) would be lovely. Would beat the point of hacking it as well.
