Hackinformer Your device needs to transform, we are here to inform
Like promised here is ARK, the original one, updated for the latest firmware!
For firmwares 3.3X and 3.5X, here's the ARK files (kexploit) using the MajorGas bubble method, readme included.https://t.co/F99GCG9z2v

In the provided download pack, you will find different versions for different firmware. This release is not meant for a savegame but for Mr.Gas’ and Major_Tom’s re-birth bubbles. To make this work, you will have to actually work for it this time! 😀
You must have a base game installed from PSN, and it should not be a crappy minis, and full PSP games with previous exploits may not work, but I haven’t tested much. In my tests, Pool Hall Pro and Numblast didn’t work.
Just follow our tutorial on how to sign homebrews here http://hackinformer.com/PlayStationGuide with the provided ‘NP.ISO’ if you are on 3.50 to 3.52
We know it’s quite hard to set up and it needs some time to figure everything out but its worth it!
Notes:
I have provided three separate saves, which have different patches/kexploit depending on the firmware.
For 3.3X, it is possible to create folders in ms0:/PSP/GAME/, but it has been patched in 3.5X.
Folder names should be self-explanatory for which one you require.In the “menu” folder, you can choose the menu of your choice, current menu in ARK save is ONEMenu,
drag and drop the files into the ARK_01234 save so that VBOOT.PBP is at root of ARK_01234/.To exit homebrew/ISO, hold button combo L + R + Start + Down.
To enable plugins:
Make a file called PLUGINS.TXT inside ARK_01234/.
Here are some examples for the format to use.
game,ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat.prx,1
game,ms0:/seplugins/tempar.prx,true
umdemu,ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat.prx,on
pops,ms0:/seplugins/cwcheatpops.prx,enabledAs you can see, the format is mode,path,switch
mode:
“game” should be used for homebrew.
“umdemu” should be used for ISO/CSO/PSN.
“pops” should be used for PS1 games.path points to plugin.
To enable, you can use “1”, “true”, “on” or “enabled”.

Note by Hackinformer:
Once you make an Ark bubble and any other bubble you want. You can still update to 3.55 and these bubbles will still work, but you will not be able to use the email trick again. So that means you can NEVER make any more bubbles or put custom themes on your PSVita or PSTV. I don’t recommend going this, but the choice is yours and if you do this make SURE you make a whole back image of your vita just encase something happens. Once again I do not recommend you leaving FW3.52.

Got a c1-2749-2 some prob with the bible creation, will try Tom, need to study today ;P
And to carry the tradition,FIRST
Edit: bubble creation
Oh so we gonna play the FIRST game?! Alright I’m in! 😛
What basegame did you use it the screenshot, or is it just an empty bubble with icon0? ?
Numblast 🙂
but the post say it didnt work?
google drive not found i can’t download it
Mirror! http://www.mediafire.com/download/g8w0d4uh70ybmyq/ARK_MajorGas_bubble.zip
someone please help on the step 6, whats mean the mail installer ?? please guys.
Link is down 🙁
Thank you Freakler for the download mirror 🙂
link it’s broken
Just to clarify, is the path ~\ARK_01234\subfolder\eboot.pbp (an otherwise empty folder) or is it supposed to be ~\ARK_01234\eboot.pbp (in the same folder as the auxiliary files)?
Thanks.
basegame: Ape Quest starter edition – Quits right out of it
same happened with me 🙁
What does he mean by “crappy minis”?
psp mini games i guess.
So games like urbanix
So all minis are crappy?
i think he meant it in the way that they wont work as an base.
Hmm, tried a number of ways, it gives me a C1-2749-2 error. Does anyone know what that error stands for?
Yeah same here… I don’t know what is wrong.
We need an already installed base game, can’t we install a DRM free package using the email app (the same method we used before to install Dev Assistant for Unity)?
by “Just follow our tutorial on how to sign homebrews” do you mean only create a “eboot.pbp” or doing the whole tutorial?
I’ve Created the signed eboot from my base game.
How to transfer this file to vita ?
The whole tutorial!
You transfer it through psp save data.
I’m unable to do the writer.eml hack, it just doesn’t do anything, so I cannot install back app.db since it shows as a question mark whatever I do
There’s a tutorial on how to fix that.
Ugh. I can’t get this to work. I see the splash screen, then it exits. Same thing I got when trying to install vhbl. Oh well.
same problem
also same, i can get any psp game to work tho, i just cant get ark or vhbl to work with fw 3.52
Same here. I really wish someone had a solution.
what game you using as base?
I’ve tried several. All work for running ‘backups’. None will run homebrew.
Im using locoroco midnight carnival they work great with any PSP iso, but not with vhbl or ark im on fw 3.52. I know for a fact i am doing everything correctly.
Qwikrazor figured out whats causing this. Open the config file in the Fake NP folder and set compression to 0 (on). It now launches for me, but says “NO GAMES” when it starts up, not sure if that’s an issue or just my unfamiliarity with the program.
What “Fake NP” folder?
The Sign104Bat folder. Open SignCFIG.txt and change COMPRESS to 0.
Obviously you’ll need to resign whatever ISO you are using after doing this.
I got it working! Thanks! Also, I can’t remember which button, but a certian button will bring you to a file explorer. I was able to launch vhbl that way. Then it said I didn’t have any homebrews.
Got it working.
Go here:
http://hackinformer.com/psvita-tools-for-pc/
Download that.
Go and get the np.iso from the download on this page
That comment wasn’t ready.
Anyway, get the eboot from your base game. Follow custom bubble tutorial for that. Than open the program you got from wololo. Put in the iso and eboot. Turn on compression. Turn in the thing about a snall header or something. Turn on fake np mode thing. Then press the button that looks like a save button. The eboot is generatres can be used. Put it with your save you use to transfer eboots to your vita. Do everything else as normal.
I got C1-2858-3 error.
Did you delete and reinstall your base game?
This step is very important otherwise the c1 error will always appear.
btw, i use the same tool.
I believe …-3 was a licensing thing. Try a different basegame.
same here
Turn off compression
Tried everything. But no luck 🙁
Hi all
I need a link to download “the warriors” european game pkg.
Thanks for the community.
I am very happy I got this bad boy running on 3.52 with Jikandia as base game, and elite np signer program. Everything is working great. Thank you to all that contributed to the hacks I will be donating to the proper people on payday.
How to reinstall base game without PSN on 3.52?
You had to make backups onto your PC before the update came out =\
If you still have the base game on your Vita, you can still make back ups with QCMA. Make sure to put the vita in airplane mode before connecting to block it from nagging you about updating.
Use Vita update blocker
Up(thanks)

Run iso/cso inside of ARK I mean … installing iso bubbles work like a charm
Finally able to run ISO through ARK (One Menu).

Using 138menu provide in the ARK pkg
I used 138menu to transfer ISO’s in the ISO folder created in ms0: (root). Using one menu to execute my ISO’s. Hope this helps!! 😉

“ux0:pspemu/psp/savedata/here must be ARK_01234 folder?” I have ((C1-2738-0) when i start bubble ARC. I use Ape Quest Deo as base game…

http://hackinformer.com/forum/thread-482.html
Iv tried everything even switching to separate save files, No base games not even the confirmed ones work for any thing other than psp iso’s which is useless as I prefer ark/vhbl emulators.
Vita 3g/wifi US 3.52
Petz sc demo = does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso
Gravity Crash= does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso
Loco roco carinival demo= does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso
FF Tactics= does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso
Prince of Persia sands=does not work for any homebrew or ark. only psp iso
Would appreciate any help Or if someone can post a signed ARK EBOOT for any of the above listed as a base?
What do you mean by “does not work”? Does it show error or what?
This has been answered up above. Open the cfg txt file in sign104.bat and set compression from 1 to 0.
sign104bat folder
