Hackinformer Your device needs to transform, we are here to inform
I didn’t think I was going to have to make this post but it seem we are still getting a lot of newcomers to the scene and they need a little extra help installing VHBL Bubble on FW3.65. There are a few ways to do this like one of them is having two PSVita or PSTV to make the VHBL bubble on earlier FW then put them on current FW via CMA backups or have a friend on lower FW help you out.
With the release of PSVIMGTOOL there no need to have two systems as you can now decrypt CMA backups and add the files you need to it to make it in a VHBL bubble. I’m going to show you how to use PSVIMGTOOL to inject VHBL into a game backup. You will also need a PSP demo or a game and you can also use minis as your base game to turn into VHBL bubble. I’m only going to say this once ARK does not work on FW3.65 so don’t even waste your time trying it out.
What you need:
A PSP demo, game or mini on the Vita:
A PSP demo, game or mini backed up via CMA or QCMA:
First, it’s best to download your base games from PSN of course and once you have it on the Vita time to back up the base game with CMA or QCMA on the PC. You can use PSP demos like petz saddle club demo or loco midnight carnival demo in the US if you don’t have any PSP games or Mini’s.
Now that your backup is made you need to use PSVIMGTOOL and to make it easier its best to use PSVIMGTool frontend since it has an easy to use GUI that can just inject VHBL for you. Just back up the base game and pick the account you want to add then pick easy installers and pick VHBL to install VHBL.
Next, you will have to choose the Base game you want to install VHBL to then just click “Patch W VHBL” and it will automatically install VHBL to the Backup.
Now refresh your QCMA Database and then connect your PSVita to your PC and restore the PSP Game that you just modified and also copy the VHBL Savedata to your Vita.
Congrats you should now have VHBL on your Vita ?
Note: If you get error code c1-2858-3 just restart the vita and rebuild the database, then everything will work fine.
Here a video guide and a link to homebrew and emulators.
Doesnt it still require henkaku? It should work on 3.63 aswell with this method, right?
Nope it work in ePSP on the vita just like all old exploits.
My games is not in ps other is in ps vita and whwn i copy demo on pc he copy on app and when i try tool to inject games he not found the games ,and if i mouve the games on pgames not work ,file not found eror 2 etc . Pleas help and scuse my einglsh.
didnt work on 3.63 with ape quest demo and prinny 2
Double check the save data file as I know it works fine with the ape quest demo on either fw 3.63 or 3.65. I used it many of times for VHBL. Here the VHBL save again but on a different server.

I’m a recently newcomer to the PSvita scene and I really was looking forward to this post! My problem is that I haven´t managed to install any PSP demo or game…
If you are on 3.65, just go to psn and get a psp demo, now if you are on 3.63FW then use vita update blocker to bypass the update or use a PS3 to get it on the vita.
My problem is that for all PSP games and demos it says that is not compatible with my system… is it PSN EU. Any idea?
Thanks!
Ape Quest..
AWESSSSSOME mate. weeks looking for a PSP demo, I thought they were dissable on PSN EU.
Thanks a lot!
The save you provided for vhbl is bad it ends up with error. Used save whitch apears automaticaly after patching game and it worked
Put the wrong link in my bad its been fixed as that one has a different menu and was made to work on 3.60FW that is why it didn’t work and the new update to psvimgtool frontend must add it for you now as it didn’t before.
Hey i did all the steps and im still getting the load error when i open VHBL on the vita can you give me the psavedata link to the right version 3.65
and maybe you can contact me i really want to get this to work and have been trying and nothings working maybe skype or discord my email is kaotikff@hotmail.com
just try the one that psvimgfront puts in
Its the same save I use in my vita and works fine but here is just the save if it doesn’t work I have no idea why. https://mega.nz/#!UMZHGZSa!GW8dhJ6dkIdAlf42vvXtwRIBn29XW28r-oItrtatq5c
I tried the your file and i tried the one psvimgtool gave me and i keep getting error c1-2858-3
What base game are you using? That is the only thing that might be having a hard time with. I use Nova or Numbast for mine. Loco midnight ot petz saddle club works fine too. That all I can tell you is try another base game.
i tried it with pet saddle and loco roco
okay so i finally got into the VHBL menu and i have an error that it couldnt find any homebrews let me put an emulator on there and see if it works
1 last question is there a way to put a bubble for the emulator on the homescreen or do i have to run VHBl every time i want to get it
Yes you can make emu or homebrew bubbles here is how.
https://hackinformer.com/2017/05/03/install-emulator-homebrew-bubbles-psvita-fw3-65/
What did you do differently to get into the menu?
How i am stuck where you are Were
I have no idea why you get that error. Cuz others got it working, just double check your work that is all I can say.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQfiy2mIIwU
i got it working i had the same error as that guy in the video so i can give you tips on how to fix those errors if anyone else ask you about it. if you get the c1-2858-3 they need to restart the vita and rebuild the database there is a game that corrupts the data base and wont allow you to run psp/psone games so that fixed that and then yeah i used the VHBL1234 that the psvimgtool gave me and it worked
Glad you got it work and it seems not all of us gets this error, so if I can’t get it to do it for me there no way for me to find a small fix like you did. Thanks for the tip. I’ll add it to the post.
I tried the database rebuild and still no luck. How do you get VHBL1234 from psvimgtool? I have both the setup and zip versions. I cant it anywhere amongst the files. Help would be very appreciated.
It never has done that for me I just use the VHBL save that I have in the download link. Works everytime.
I get the error i tried building the database but that didnt work too can you help me
What base game are you using? Next download the vhbl save and install it on the vita via qcma? If you still get the error then go into safe mode and rebuild the database.
Use this version of VBHL (C1-2858-3) to avoid https://mega.nz/#!7Ehj2biA!ljGLzlu_TQfXIG5UmKDcDNARoa8svMb-7rGoGh-AgT0
Works 100% and tested
Heya, A slightly separate issues I am having.
Thanks for this tutorial, by the way, I am now able to play the games I backed up, using my Rerode 2, on my Vita =D
I noticed you are the one who posted about emulators and homebrew for vhbl a few years ago.
I can’t get DaedalusX64 to work when I put the files into an INSTALL.zip folder. How are you supposed to compile them and if its easier do you have a link for the latest revision that is compiled ready to install in vhbl?
Daedalus R13 will work but just a reminder that N64 runs like crap in ePSP but a few game are playable but still are slow at times.. Also there one in our download section of this site too.
https://hackinformer.com/2015/01/28/psvita-easy-to-install-emultors-homebrew-for-vhbl/
https://hackinformer.com/emulators-for-the-psp-psvita/
if I remember Dauedalus R13 always ran crap anyway even on the psp slim. Thats why I want DaedalusX64 the newest revision. Still probably rubbish but I think a lot better.
So i have downloaded the daedalus x64 emulator for the Psp, my question is how to I now make this emulator compatible with the ps vita. i have tried putting it into a INSTALL.ZIP but it just exits vhbl when I try to run it after installing it in vhbl??
It doesn’t work in user mode and that why I said r13. It needs a kexploit like Ark to work. There might be a ver out here that works but I haven’t ran across any yet.
oh okay thanks then. How about gpsp. I know that there was one that didn’t require the bios to work on the Psp Slim but i tried gpsp kai and that also just exits. do you know of any that work?
The one in the download section or on the vhbl emu post above work fine with only few errors. Any emu that exit like that need a kexploit like Ark. TempGPSP works the best imp.
Okay so if your QCMA has no VHBL data in it, when you patch your game VHBL data will be created. Exactly where you are supposed to put the one from the download. Put it on your PSVita then copy the game. It totally worked for me.
I keep getting an error when trying to install via psvitaimgtool WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified ‘/PGAME/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx//sce_/*.*’ (the x’s are the string of numbers for the file backup). i’ve tried restarting from step 1 but I keep getting the error. can anyone help?
I also don’t have the option to pick a game to patch in the psvitaimgtools backup directory when doing the easy install. its just a blank screen. i’m trying to use the locoroco midnight carnival but I also tried patapon 3 with no luck. neither will show up
Do it the manual way if you are having problems it’s where you make a whole system backup, then use psvimgtools to decrypted it. Here just take a look at this post but instead just do it with VHBL.
https://hackinformer.com/2017/05/03/install-emulator-homebrew-bubbles-psvita-fw3-65/
Hi! Newb here. I went through your video and was able to install VHBL. I do get the C1-2858-3. I see that I need to rebuild the database. The issue is that I’m not sure what this means or how to do that?
Ok, got it!! Now just need to figure out how to install the emulator and games!
Here you go..
https://hackinformer.com/2015/01/28/psvita-easy-to-install-emultors-homebrew-for-vhbl/
So, after I make this I will be able to transfer .iso psp games to my vita?
I was able to create the backup of loco midnight carnival demo, get the VHBL content installed onto the game, refreshed the database, plugged my Vita back in.. However once I attempted to copy said game from my PC to my Vita the process says it’ll take 299 minutes, been like that for a good 5 minutes or so. Perhaps I had done something wrong? Do I leave it for 5 hours and check back later?
No re install qcma something is wrong on your pc’s end.
Running QCMA on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Seems I cannot un-install QCMA, or make any modifications to it.. Keep getting this error
N: Ignoring file ’50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist’ in directory ‘/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/’ as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Unable to locate package QCMA
BTW! For those of you have the same problem, I found the solution..
You must do sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist
And then remove QCMA, and reinstall..
Thanks for the assistance Jim, would have never came to this conclusion without you pointing out that something was wrong on my end.
Glad you got it working and Jim is always helpful and been a member on of the site for a long time, via blog or forums…
i did everything that you did but when i load VHBL it just freezes
Running on El Capitan and I get as far as VHBL Easy Installer having a pop-up window that says “VHBL Backup Created! (Note: Icon will be same as base game). I click ok and the last line in Terminal reads: TclError: can’t invoke “destroy” command: application has been destroyed
Any suggestions?
Try these tools instead of the other ones this one is much cleaner…

Hi all!
I am stuck after few hours of trying to troubleshooting it by myself.
Got a 2nd hand PS VITA with 3.65. I downloaded few demo games from the PSN. They are located in Application (PS Vita) folder.
From all tutorials and reading that I have done, they would need to be in the PSPtm/Other folder. Correct?
On Windows with psvimgtools-frontend, I could logged to my account. However while trying to “VHBL Easy Installers” and Select a backup I have nothing
Can someone tell me what I missed?
Thanks a lot in advance team!
i followed all the steps from the tutorial but every time i enter the app it shows the health warning but the app closed pls help
btw the game i used: AngryBird
vita version: 3.65
I reset my Vita 8 times and rebuilt the database and restarted the Vita, yet it still gives that c1-2858-3 error.
Please help!
i need help i have been getting permission denied every time i click on the psp demo and it does not let me do the last step to changing the demo to the vhbl plz help i do not know why its not working i have been trying many things from deleting the whole thing and reinstalling.

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘keys/’
