Sony Still On IDGAF Status - HBL Still Works On 1.60


Submitted by Demonchild; February 18, 2012


Now with the Vita officially released by way of the First Edition Bundle in both North American and Europe, progress towards the release of Wololo's Half Byte Loader can be made. With yet another firmware release, Sony still has not taken the effort to patch up Tek4's exploit that was discovered back on v1.00. It's an unprecedented move good enough to say that Sony doesn't give two shits.

What else more is there to say? Wololo has confirmed that Tek4's exploit is still working on 1.60 and that HBL is on track to a release. It won't be a surprise if everything is still working on when the Vita is released in Australia. In other news, the OpenCMA work around is still working regardless of the updates being pushed.

Wololo has posted on how the release will happen. You can read up on that, here.

Great day for the real good guys out here... Do something Sony!

HBL (Half-Byte Loader) is a homebrew loader for the PSP and also works on the PS Vita, it only loads homebrew not iso. Wololo is the developer of HBL

It's not that sony doesn't give a fuck it's that they don't know what the exploit is yet so they can't exactly patch it.

Is everyone so arrogant that they think Sony can't fix this?  I'm sure they're just waiting for a blockbuster game to attach a forced update to.

I'm not saying that Sony won't get to fixing this... It's just weird that they haven't already. The guy who bought up that Sony don't know what it is yet is completely right. That's something I did overlook after all this time.

that why wololo has said the name of the game yet, to prevent sony from patching anything

Sony doesn't care because it doesn't lead to piracy.

This, pretty much. While a patch may eventually arrive somewhere down the line, it's likely not anywhere on a list of priorities at Sony.
