Sony has removed Everybody’s Tennis as well as MotorStorm Arctic Edge from the PlayStation Store after it was discovered that homebrew applications could be loaded onto the PlayStation Vita using an exploit. The homebrew loader, known as VHBL (Vita Half Byte Loader), uses a SAVEDATA exploit with these two games to load other homebrew applications.
GeoHot is at it again! The PlayStation 3’s “Root Key” was discovered by a group of hackers last week and has been published by famed hacker GeoHot. The root key allows PS3 users to run homebrew applications without the need for dongles and devices like the PS3 Jailbreak.
Firmware 1.00 to 1.50
Homebrew for Firmware 1.00 to 1.50 can be loaded directly from the PSP XMB. Homebrew games should be placed in the “PSP/GAMES” folder of the Memory Stick. Some games may require certain steps in order for the game to work, please see individual games for more details.
Firmware 2.00 to 2.60
Homebrew om Firmware 2.00 to 2.60 can be loaded in two ways, either using the TIFF Exploit by loading a image from the XMB or by using the GTA Save Game Exploit. Both these methods allow the use of a EBOOT Loader that again loads games from the “PSP/GAMES” folder of the Memory Stick. Not all homebrew games are compatible with these firmware versions.
Firmware 2.70 to 2.80
With Firmware 2.70 to 2.80, homebrew can be loaded using the TIFF Exploit. If you are using 2.80, there is no EBOOT loader available, and as such, only a limited number of games are available. If you use Firmware 2.71, you are able to load homebrew directly from the XMB using a hack.
