    PSV CFW

    You just got your hands on a new PlayStation Vita? ;D, and are looking for a Custom Firmware solution? Well Then, bookmark this page, as it will be kept up to date with the latest and most basic solutions available.

    Although there is currently no "native" CFW solution for the Vita, but solutions exist inside the PSP emulator of the Vita, which gives you various levels of homebrew/backup access.

    If you are lucky enough to own the right game and be on the right firmware (currently 1.81 or less), then Total_Noob’s "CFE TN" is for you. You can download it here. CFE TN is basically a Custom Firmware for PSP running in the PSP emulator on the Vita. It has optimal homebrew compatbility, as well as iso support.

    If you can’t run CFE, an alternative to Custom firmwares is VHBL(more about the VHBL below), assuming you are lucky enough to grab the exploited games when they get announced. VHBL is only a partial solution, as it only allows you to play a subset of PSP homebrews on the Vita.

    Vita HomeBrew Loader (VHBL)

    Vita Half-Byte Loader is a port of the PSP homebrew loader HBL to the Playstation Vita, through the PSP emulator, running on the Playstation Vita.

    Although VHBL is free and open source, the current version relies on vulnerabilities in specific PSP games that you need to buy from the PSN. We cannot guarantee it will work on your Vita, so remember that you pay for a PSP game, and not for anything else.

    Downloads:

    The Version of VHBL you need to download depends on the PSP Game you own. Click on the game you own to get redirected to the appropriate download page (the download page of each game also contains installation and usage instructions). Currently, VHBL is available for the following PSP games:

    (up to firmware 1.80)]
    (up to firmware 1.67)]
