Hackinformer Your device needs to transform, we are here to inform
Just a weeks ago 173210 announced Metal Gear Solid Portable OPS exploit to run VHBL but at the time, it didn’t work on the EU or the US it was just JP release. Well, we have some good news as he just released Metal Gear Solid Portable OPS+ and it’s for the EU.
So if you bought this exploit and were little upset that it didn’t happen, today just goes to show you the 173210 doesn’t give up that easy and released the exploit found by @ABCanG1015 as he was hoping this exploit would work but didn’t. Now like it says in the tweet below it should work for 3.57FW but no one has tested it yet.
Now when it come to the bubbles there no need to worry as the pboot hack still works for homebrew and emulator bubbles. Once you install Vitaftp you can even make your own VHBL bubble too, so if you like to know how to make your own custom bubbles check out our guide on them here.
I’ve been trying to get it to work on 3.55, but it runs the exploit then blackscreens with an Error: C1-2858-3, Am I doing something wrong, or does the exploit just not run on 3.55.
Thanks
Sidenote: When I replace the main files with a homebrew game it starts to load it then crashes
indeed it doesn’t work in 3.55, because it was made for 3.57.
The debug version actually did work on 3.55 for anyone interested, probably a v2 or final release will come soon
I try it in 3.57,,doesnt work it s only load the game…
To Run it you need to:
1. Load the Exploit SaveGame
2. Press Cancel (X for me, but could be O )
3. Go To “MATCH”
4. Go To “EDIT MESSAGE”
5. ????
6. Profit
black screen then error c1-2858-3
Grab the debug version from here: https://github.com/173210/valentine-hbl/releases/tag/hbl-0.10
it seems to be more stable
So if I do 6 of those steps, I should have VHBL come up?
Niiiice, About to test this in UK
thanks it works with debug version
Worked for me on debug also.
This is actually my first vhbl install,new to ps vita scene. Is there a zip flying about with all the saves of best emu and homebrew?
How do I do this? tell me everything you done please. I’m on 3.57
https://github.com/173210/valentine-hbl/releases/tag/hbl-0.10..unzip this put it in psvita savedata use cma or qcma transfer it to the vita and enter in metal gear ops +…then load game when it s done press x u will see a menu …choose match and edit message then the vhbl will be installed
Here all of our emulators that are all done for VHBL..

Wow thanks 😀
is there a way to change vhbl to one menu like in vhbl bubble
I got on VHBL, but i got an error saying couldn’t find any homebrew. What does this mean?
Ok so I downloaded all emu in that post. Vhbl won’t save them to /vhbl/
How can I do this?
It saves them to /game/
how do i put emulators on VHBL?
I got the emulator on,how do i put the game in to make it load on VHBL?
How did you get the emulator installed?
I downloaded Daedalus_R13. When you downloaded an emulator, extract it on your pc then you should get a folder. Put that folder in your Psave data folder. Then go on your CMA when you done that, then go on copy content. Click Pc to PS Vita, Click Applications, then go down to Psp Other. You should have the emulator in there, Copy that, when thats done. Go on to your VHBL, go on to save data. and the emulator should be in there. Press X on the emulator and Press Install.
I’ve managed to get that far, but I can’t open the emulator.
Same as me buddy, there not installing to the correct folder.
Not sure how to fix this.
Hopefully hackinformer can tell us lol
No way to make any emul work ….something Up with firmware 3.57
Just install vitaftp and use it to put all you games it the vita via the PC and filezilla. Once you have done then you can easily make a vhbl bubble with any epsp game, mini or demo.
Damn, can this be fixed?
I managed to get the emulator in, it’s just the games i cannot get in. But the emulator i installed, isn’t opening on the VHBL anyway.
Just install vitaftp and use it to put all you games it the vita via the PC and filezilla. Once you have done then you can easily make a vhbl bubble with any epsp game, mini or demo but it hasn’t been tested yet so you have a 50/50 chance of it working. The pboots still work on 3.57 but no one has tried to make a new one with this VHBL exploit.
http://hackinformer.com/PlayStationGuide/PSV/INFO_EPSP_VHBL.html
Where can I find vitaftp?
You can find it here.. http://hackinformer.com/2015/01/28/psvita-easy-to-install-emultors-homebrew-for-vhbl/
and don’t forget to checkout the download sections too..
http://hackinformer.com/downloads/
I tested it and you should be able to make a vhbl bubble. You just need vitaftp to place the pboot into any epsp game. If pboot does not stick in ftp just rename it Fboot and it should go right into your vita then rename it back to pboot. Once done just backup the epsp game you use via cma or qcma then place it back in the vita. And your new Vhbl bubble should appear.
When I try to load vitaftp it just gives me a black screen and then I get kicked to vita homescreen. I was able to install an emulator but that won’t start.
I’ve used the FW 3.55 Vita Blocker where I bought and subsequently withdrew the game yet but it somehow does not. mpox_eu.zip this immediately bite and leaving a black screen. Then I tried mpox_eu_debug.zip there, the game shuts down, and I was back on the menu Vita. Perhaps some better version comes out.
A few other got the debug ver to work so we know it works..
hombrew has been installed in game folder instead of vhbl any way to change config
It is possible, but whether it would be possible to do a version for fw 3.55 I followed the instructions 3 people. I tried 2 files. I rewrote the Pc Save up game after copied to Vita and subsequently gave Load and pressed X. Then I set match, and subsequently edit the message and Vita returned to the Home Page appears. I am doing something wrong ?
Can I use ftpclient instead of filezilla? I always get stuck on the name of the host on filezilla.
How did you get vitaftp to work?
I’m not on that bit yet, I’m still stuck on the emulator bit
Oh wait they are both the same, I still can’t work out the host
Try some of these emulators as they are made to run under 1mb patch and some of them have games in them.
http://hackinformer.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=461
Has anyone got anything working on hbl yet ?
My emulator is in the game folder, how do I move it to where it should be?
Does it please someone on FW 3.55 ??? Possibly put to download the files thank you.
You can also use the onemenu on vhbl which will install emu/homebrew in a vhbl folder and you might have better luck getting everything to run. http://hackinformer.com/2015/05/18/onemenu-now-universal-thanks-to-gdljjrod/
Trying to open vhbl with onemenu through debug ver of the exploit gets you a long black screen, followed by error (C1-2858-3)
Yep I got the same thing I even tried the other way around same result but you get some error text first
It is possible that it does not work because of a Sony correct? Probably doing something wrong on FW 3.55 because I every time, no errors will not, but just turn off the game and returns to the menu .- (
Yea you might be right if you record your vita loading up onemenu or psvitaftp and look at it frame by frame you will see a message pop up. So I think it don’t work due to Sony 🙁
It’s not sony cuz vhbl bubble still work fine from 3.52 now on 3.57 with onemenu. 173210 may need to clean up some loose ends in the code and that is the reason why you could all be having problems.
Has anyone tried the final ver of the onemenu yet? Cuz the first link is the one I used this the lasted one here..
http://hackinformer.com/2015/11/02/onemenu-vfinal-released-for-the-psvitapsp/
Just tried it and it still doesn’t work; causes an error C1-2858-3
I’ve been having the same problem, needs to be fixed ASAP.
Has anyone tried the 138menu?
http://guidobot.hostoi.com/software/138menu.html
It loads then I tried vitaftp it then hangs then gives the error we all love
I guess all we can do is wait for whoever made this exploit to hurry up and fix it
finally it ‘s work on 3.57 i upload a video on twitter
So I just wanted to make sure everyone knew what they were doing when installing Homebrews with the new exploit as I’ve heard a few people are lost. Create a folder on your PC called PSP, within that folder create another folder called VHBL, You will be placing your homebrews within this folder. Once the homebrew you’ve selected is within the VHBL folder (Warning if your homebrew is an emulator, only selected emulators work with this exploit check my twitter for the links- @T3CHHI3F) Archive the folder as a zip with the name being INSTALL.ZIP and select store as the “compression method” (warning if you don’t use store as the “compression method” VHBL will not recognise it) Once you have a file called INSTALL.ZIP place this is a separate save of MSG and transfer it over to your computer, This is all we need the computer for. Now we have a vita with the save that contains your homebrew boot VHBL and click L2 to make your way to a screen called Savedata (this will only be true if you’re using the native HBL loader) click on the save you have placed INSTALL.ZIP in and HBL will install it, once this is all completed if done correctly you will find that your homebrew is now on your PSvita under VHBL, Enjoy 🙂
Any questions feel free to ask me on twiiter my user is @T3CHCHI3F
1) Do you have gmail?
2)So,all the instructions you mean that apparently we can play like gpsp or Daedalus on 3.57 (Eur)?With short info,what do you want to say? :p
yes i test it it ‘s working on 3.57 all emulators…..
What!!!!!!My goodness!!Congratulations!!!You are amazing anouar 😉 .Could you please to tell me with short info how did you do that and if you can give me some like about that?
What do i do?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0YQ1PtqW6U
IN MY VIDEO U WILL FIND ALL LINKS
UNZIP ALL INSTALL.ZIP EXTRACT THE EMUL INSIDE A FOLDER CALL THAT FOLDER VHBL AND CREAT ANOTHER FOLDER PSP …PUT EMULATOR INSIDE VHBL AND VHBL INSIDE PSP AND ADD TO ZIP FILE USING WINRAR AND CALL IT INSTALL.ZIP PUT THE INSTALL.ZIP INSIDE ANY SAVEDATA PSP FOLDER AND COPY IT TO UR VITA ..WHEN U START VHBL CLIK L1 AND FIND THE SAVEDATA U COPIED WHEN IT ‘S INSTALLED GO TO VHBL AND ENJOY
So it has to be the european version, but there is no american version that it can work on.
138 menu is the best solution to install homebrew. And back to the vhbl to play the game from vhbl installed homebrew. Believe me it works..
Make 138 menu as your way of installing homebrew whatsoever
and
After that return back to vhbl to play the games. (Because 138 menu hang if you start the game there)
I prefer the old version of 138 menu the L3 I think
Does it work on 3.57?
YES IT S WORK ON 3.57 READ MY ANOTHER COMMENT
I made a psp folder, then made a VHBL one inside it. Then i put Snes emulator and game file in the VHBL folder. Now I right click on PSP folder and click archive and rename it to INSTALL.ZIP with compression method on store, I press ok. Now what do I do with that INSTALL folder that I just got? Please help!
PUT THAT INSTALL.ZIP IN ANY SAVEGAME ON SAVEDATA FOLDER ON UR PC AND COPY IT WITH QCMA
NOW ON UR VITA WHEN U RE ON VHBL CLIK L1 AND CHOOSE THE SAVEDATA WITH INSTALL.ZIP AND INSTALL IT FINNALY GO TO VHBL FOLDER THAT WILL BE CREATED AND ENJOR ALL EMULATOR
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ9f_t6IZQMLcFw03qkvGmA
Do I put that install zip in the ULES folder?
yes finally something like this ULESXXX/INSTALL.ZIP/PSP/VHBL/SNESXXX….OR ANOTHER EMULATOR
THANKS TO HACKINFORMER FOR ALL HELPS
VHBL will always have to run through the game and then save or it is somehow so I do VHBL to 3.55 embarked on a tour?
I’m at the part where I got the install.zip from making the psp folder. I made a psp save folder to put in my save data with the install.zip inside it. When I go to use CMA to transfer it to my vita, it comes up saying corrupt file why?
Use QCMA and make sure you just put the zip file in any game save. No folders needed in a game save.
is there a compatible gba for this vhbl
iam new to vita my i ask can i install VHBL with out buying the metal gear? like the email thing method ? in 3.55?
No, that hack was only for 3.52, if you have a US account you will need this game.
http://hackinformer.com/2015/10/10/psvita-qwikrazor-releases-new-exploit-for-3-55fw/
iam on 3.57 already US account does the metal gear exploit works for me? the spelling of the game from EU and US is different
Nope it’s EU only just like it says in the title of the post.
I just bought the ps vita slim pretty sure im running version 3.57 k so now I just learned that I could use emulators on it im googling everything on it and cant seem to find a good site where it tells me step by step on HOW to hack to get emulators on there and how to get games on it like from step 1! can anyone help me that would be sooo awesome! thank you !! :0)
Step 1: Hack?
Step 2: Get VHBL on it?
Step 3: Get emulator on it?
Step 4: Now what? lol :0)
We have everything you need there.. http://hackinformer.com/PlayStationGuide/
Download here.. http://hackinformer.com/downloads/
Thanks for the reply but aren’t those downloads only for 3.55? Do I need vhbl? Is there a download or is it just a folder I create? I’m lost lol
Just read some of the old guides as nothing has really changed. Next the downloads for emulators it doesn’t matter. First you need to buy -metal-gear-solid-portable-ops+ from psn then download the files that are on this page in the post. Then take the file you downloaded and get them into the psvita with your pc and cma.
Since you need to make an EU account, does this mean once you go through the hack and get VHBL on there, does this mean your stuck with your EU account and wont be able to access the US store??
Yup you are stuck on the EU account unitl you change it back.. Just easier to buy a used vita on older fw at pawn shops..
And let me guess….if you change it back (requires formatting?) then you lose VHBL and have to reinstall?
Is there an exploit for vita 3.57 us? want to put emulators on my vita please help!!
me too
Hi,
I can open VHBL through the exploit. In wMenu 0.4 I install homebrew.
Copying starts, and when I go to PSP/GAME, I see the homebrew I installed.
Yet, there is NO way to open them using X or O is anyone else having this problem?
Kind Regards
Thats because they need to be installed in the vhbl folder. Make the INSTALL.ZIP like this
ULESXXX/INSTALL.ZIP and inside the install.zip it should look like this. /PSP/VHBL/SNESXXX
Here are a bunch already to go here but you need to redo the install zip to inculde these folder, PSP/VHBL/SNES or that whatever you are installing.
http://hackinformer.com/2015/01/28/psvita-easy-to-install-emultors-homebrew-for-vhbl/
Thanks, I swear I did that already… After 8 straight hours I might be seeing ghosts. Gonna call it a day. Will try again tomorrow. Thank you.
Well I seen you say psp/game and I know that folder is off limited to FW 3.57 or 3.60.
Indeed, that’s what I tried at first. Now, it isn’t any better when using PSP/VHBL (and it sure as hell can’t be the INSTALL.ZIP :p), i’m updating from VHBL 0.11 to 0.12. Try to see if 0.12 is compatible with 3.57.
Hey maybe you or somebody else can help me. I am on 3.57 and I have everything ready, the only Problem I have is, that the save File does not show up in the Content Manager (PC -> Vita) the only way I can get it on the Vita is, if I create a Savegame on the Vita(real one), then load that on the Computer and then Copy&Paste/Replace the Folder into that Savegame. But if I load the Save and “Edit Message” it just throws me out of the Game. I am just lost on where the Problem could be. Thanks!
Ok found the Problem, I did not reload the Database in qcma, so it did not copy all the Files and they only showed up after I transfered a Save from the ps to the pc. After that the VHBL Savegame showed up and I could copy it. Ingame everything worked then.
