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

Half-Byte Loader (HBL) is an open source Homebrew Loader for the Sony PSP and the PS Vita. It allows to play fan-made
games on any PSP up to firmware 6.60, and on the Vita up to firmware 1.61. HBL allows to run emulators for the
Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Sega Megadrive, NES, Super NES… and many other applications.

How to Install and Run VHBL

It is *strongly* recommended that you turn of all wireless connections on your PS Vita, and that you use OpenCMA
on your PC instead of the regular CMA. This is recommended because otherwise your console has a way to force
you to upgrade the firmware even before you get a chance to use the exploit.

Extract this HBL archive in your CMA PSP Savedata folder. It is a folder on your PC named
PSSAVEDATA/[lots of random characters here]. If you don’t know where it is, check your settings in CMA

Connect your PS Vita to the PC through the CMA, it should give you the possibility to copy the
savedata from your PC to the Vita. If not, you probably extracted it in the wrong folder.

To run HBL, start the Motorstorm game, select “Load” in the savegame menu, open the HBL
savegame, then go to “Wreckreation > Time Attack” and select “No”. At this point, HBL should start.

VHBL is now available for download, for the people who are lucky to own an unpatched version of Motorstorm
Arctic Edge on their vita. Download the version that matches your version of the game:

Downloads:
EU Version
JP Version
KR Version (Seen at least on the HK store)
US Version (not very useful since wee're not able to dl the game on to our Vitas)

Woot, it's out, but how long will the game be up for?
I presume you can only purchase the game off PSN and not instore?

Yes, the game has to be Buy from PSN, and it will be up until Sony stops from Selling it.

The game was taken down by SONY before this was released. Once Wololo publicly announced the name of the game Sony took it down in a heartbeat.

bah - great release, but it got kock blocked real quick... Damn you $ONY!!!

It just goes to show that $ony is watching the hacking scene closely, and they are not about to have their vita become what the psp did...

Sheeeyit. Fast. It's been what, a week? Less?

From what I've read, you can't transfer the game (EU) to your Vita anymore, because of the market pull.
I've downloaded the game to my PS3, but i had to wait for my Vita memorycard to arrive.
Until that arrived, i couldn't transfer it (and it still hasn't arrived).
But now because of the market pull the game cannot be activated. The activation files no longer work for this game.

I still have to test this myself so I'm not 100% sure this is the case, hopefully my mc will arrive in the coming week...

I hoped Wololo would wait to release the exploit Whyowhy

So do you at least get a refund? Or will they patch the game then give it to you?

They will patch the game and put it back up, since they know what to patch in Half-Byte Loader.
