TheZ Gets His Own Exploit Running On The PS Vita


Submitted by Demonchild; March 21, 2013


Of more good hacking news to come about for the Vita, TheZ has managed to get his own PSP usermode exploit running on firmware 2.06. Now, TheZ is usually known as the guy who throws up videos of exploits from other developers such as those by TomTomDu80. Now, he's playing on the other side of the table so to speak. As usual, the name of the game remains a mystery and will continue to be one until something more becomes of this exploit. That is if and when it does. Knowing TheZ, he will keep us updated on his findings.

 

This is an excellent feat for TheZ and hopefully something more can come from it. On top of that, it's always nice to see some kind of progression in the Vita scene. Now with one exploit running VHBL and another one up being worked on for firmware 2.06, there's at least a fallback available, for those who miss out on a release the first time around. Again, that's if and when VHBL can be ported to TheZ's exploit. You can take a look at the proof of concept video uploaded by TheZ below.

Awesome news! Can this be ported to TN-V? I foolishly updated to 2.06, and naturally the Uno exploit doesn't work anymore (as of 2.05 I think?). My PSP is in for repairs with a friend and I'd love to have the same XMB experience with my PS Vita! In regards to TN-V, how's the compatibility with PS1 games converted to PSP games i.e. not a direct PSX ISO? I have some of those and when still on the MBA exploit running TN-Menu 0.1 or w/e I tried one and it errored out. It was Tomb Raider 1. I wanna play through the Tomb Raider games all over again in honor of the new one that I just beat not too long ago.. Anyway, great work!

This cannot be ported to TN-V as TN-V requires a kernel mode exploit and this is a user mode exploit.
