Hacking (not a release) Hackers have now confirmed PS Vita piracy

[MDashK]

Am I the only one that remembers that back in the Dreamcast day, ECHELON were releasing games on a day-by-day basis and no one knew they method, but eventually, they released they're method to the public as well?

And this was pretty specific, SPECIALLY about the selfboot method.

I think ppl are stressing out about "GIVE US THE METHOD".
You should be pretty happy that there is someone or someones that are releasing or trying to release the games somewhat in a public way and matter.
The method is not really important as long as releases are being thrown out the window.

I don't think that most would consider these releases, while scene substantive, to be of any worth. They're all in Japanese, and I really doubt that even 5% of people here even speak or know how to read 日本語。 There's no worth in something that can't be utilized by the masses.

I personally plan on buying Odin Sphere physical on my next pay.
Despite piracy being on the way, I still want to show devs my support for good games. Not too often a demo makes me want a game but Odin Sphere did.

But what if some release group, like we already have with the .pkg dumps, for Blackfin, start releasing this kind of thing?

I sure hope they don't unless it's a region exclusive such as Taiko or DoA.

Guys, do you all still remember the talented fruitphone's jb creator and ps3 cracker? Well $ony unleashed his unbreakable bull-lawyer-dogs and they bit him until he retreated definitely from ps3 hacking scene, well, I can't imagine if these once crackers release they PS dead hack...
Probably Sony will have their houses SWATED or raided by FBI LOL

Hmmm... True. These aren't "scene" capable releases. At least, not yet.
And you're right about the 日本語 part.
I get what you mean. But I was aiming more to the fact that games will eventually be released, and ppl just need to wait a bit.
More specifically: The ones that do the "code" and crack these type of things generally want to use they're creation at first, before releasing it to the wild public.

It pretty shitty for hacker who make a decrypting method because they can't name it and in the end all credit fall into the hand of scene release team.

True. But they usually join the team for that specific end, so...

Oh ECHELON, brings me back some of my childhood memories..

Even when he did release the method, it still wasn't easy to copy a GD, unless you had a GDROM for PC.

There was a method that you could rip it using the 'Broadband Adapter', but back then majority of the people were still on Dial-Up. (And those adapters are pretty rare, at least outside of japan)

team molecule turned it around. wololo gave it a shove.

err, maybe molecule turned it AND shoved it. wololo gave it another shove.

Completely missed the joke.

i read your post again and couldn't really tell if it was a joke, but it's not like misunderstanding hasn't happened on the internet before

Now its possible with sd cards and lately people have been releasing their own full non-ripped gdrom copies for use with both emulators and sd/hdd dreamcast mods. A great example of this is with Skies of Arcadia.

I might have to pick up a vita next. I chose the 3ds over it a while back but it looks like there's enough games to warrant a price.

Project Diva X next week
LoH Cold Steel II in November
There;s Root Letter and more japanese games which I'm fond of.

Vita userbase is small but it's enough to support these games coming out and I want to support games I like.

Don't forget Tokyo Xanadu, Steins;Gate 0, and the upcoming Ys game!

The Vita is so dead to Sony, they probably didn't even consider the Vita being cracked as good enough conversation for morning coffee-and-chit-chat.

Vita is still ok in Japan, but anywhere else its pretty much dead or non-existing... and all gaming stores barely carry anything Vita related.

Yeah, need to order all my games online. All stores around here got rid of the Vita stuff. Damn shame.

So do we know whether the methods allow the eboots to be modified and then still work? Curious if this is going to help fanslations or not (I know someone who was looking into one but said it wasn't really feasible without being able to modify eboots)

It solely depends on the game. Some games have all their text in files outside of eboot.bin. Most games I've checked actually. For those, no eboot decryption is required and we could even do it now. Finding enough people for a project though...

Probably my bad for assuming everyone knew the Age of Empires meme.
