Hacking PS Vita - Hacking Possibilities

[gman666]

i think a 3ds emulator would be possible because the cortex a9 is backwards compatible with the arm11's...if someone could do this the purchase of a 3ds would be unnecessary....

 

[Foxi4]

Emulation doesn't work like that gman666. If that were true, I'd already have a 100% compatible DS emulator on my cellphone.

Apart from that, why are we discussing hacking possibilities of a console that neither of you even held in your hands? A bit early, AMIRITE?

 

[Link5084]

I just wanna ask is there any way to prepare the hackers for attempting to hack the NGP? Is it?

 

[Foxi4]

You can't prepare for something you have no idea about. We haven't even seen the "carts" yet, let alone the system. If you want something to prepare the hackers, go on ahead, bust into SONY Co. and snatch one of the working prototypes, because that's the only preparation method I can think of.

...I'm joking, obviously, don't do that.

A 3DS emulator.
A hack which allows all 4 cores to be utilised. (Only 3 are available to games apparently, homebrew could use 4 with hacks.)
A better user interface, I know i've not used Live Area in person but it looks terrible and unorganised, it would be nice if you can skin it though and arrange your shit.

PS2 Emulator... without knowing how powerful the PSV is and how much is required to run a decent ps2 emulator I just wish this could/would happen in the future. Better yet, bring PS2 games to PSN and let us download them. I wouldn't mind forking out a reasonable amount to play my old PS2 favourites again. Ratchet and clank: Gladiator

DSI mode was hacked, just not really utilised because of the launch of the 3DS

At this point I don't know how easy it'll be for hackers to break the PSV. Sony have had people hacking them at every angle for the last year, practically nonstop. Since the Geohotz case, it's like the entire world has tried to hack every single aspect of Sony as a company (and it's websites). Surely from all of this, they must've learned a thing or two about security and will put all of that into practice in the PSV.

That said, there will always be holes and exploits in their FW that persistent hackers will uncover. It's a matter of time.

 

[pistone]

well linux on that thing gonna be awesome also a emu for gamecube/ps2 would be great ,but i dont think that a photoshop app will be practical as its screen is finger touch screen ,meaning not good at all

 

[kevan]

Why are people speculating PS2 emu soo much when my

i7 2630QM 2.00GHZ
8GB Ram
Radeon HD 6770M 1GB

PC cant do it well?
Unless some guy can code 5 times better than
the PCSX2 team it aint coming.

Or if Sony releases one

But unlikely since the
PS1 one was Virtualization.

 

[clegion]

WAIT?! your PC have higher spec than mine
mine has a i7 2620m, 4 gb of ram, and Radeon something (IIRC 6380)
It can run PCSX2, hell it runs FM5 at 55 fps, It also runs persona 4 at 50 something, topping out at sixty sometimes

What game are you trying to emulate?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't really utilized because almost no one was interested.

I mean it cant do it well as in all games, although it might do better
if I run the quadcore thingy now.

I was trying to run Ratchet: Gladiator so yeah.

@Machomuu: True

 

[Net_Bastard]

pcsx2 on the Vita would work about as well as NullDC PSP does, if not worse. Gamecube games on Dolphin would work better if a Dolphin port were to come to the Vita once it's hacked, since Dolphin has lower system requirements.

It would be so awesome if the N the NGP(PS Vita) got a PS2 emulator, that would be so cool carrying around a PS2 in my hand

Now that would be kick ass. It'll be hard on the memory though, with 4-9 GBs per game

Meh, get a SDXC drive.

 

[Martin1]

PSP didn't die because of hackers, the problem was that Sony didn't support it well enough with games.

It is all well and good if the machine is the most powerful handheld on the market, but if the NGP doesn't have the games, and then blocks the only other way to play games on the machine, hackers, then you have an under-featured iPad.

Fake? It odes say hellow world for psp fw 6.31.

 

[Satangel]

If the 3DS isn't possible (maybe it is, but not in the first 5 years), maybe the DS? Definitely possible I think, and with the touchscreen the games are actually playable.
Only things I would play on it would be Advance Wars / Fire Emblem anyway, touchscreen isn't that necessary in those SRPGs

 

[DigiTak]

There's a very big potential on this portable. I think it can emulate all the things that the DS and the PSP had difficult of doing, like SNES or Genesis (some games). PS1/PSP will be there since day 1, so I'll not count that... N64 should be easy too. GBA, GB, GBC, I think it can emulate it too.

Obviously you've never owned a hacked psp or you wouldn't have just said the statement you said I put in bold. The psp had no difficulty emulating any snes, genesis, gba, gbc, or N64 games. So the psvita could go farther beyond these consoles, and maybe even emulate a ps2. I just had to correct you though.

 

[Rydian]

Actually some of the older SNES emulators for the PSP had issues with some games, and we still run into people using those old ones.

I don't really know why i'm posting this, because it certainly won't work, but i can't refrain from posting.

At the PSN control panel you can download "links" that you supposedly transfer to your vita, then the vita will download that application. However, that file is in plain text, so you can enter whatever link you want. The thing that probably won't work is the signing, so it's really stupid
