Awesome development.

This exploit seems like it is the door to make bigger things happen. Writing files to the system?

So like, is the email app available on a stock Vita TV, or will you have to go online to download it?
its preinstalled.

What a cool trick, but it will be useless in the long run, if Sony decides to patch it, you still wont be able to play any non compatible new PS1 purchases etc.
All we can hope for is that Sony forgets about the PS Tv, when was the last update?

I'm still trying to figure out this error that trying this gave me. Every single game PSTV compatible or not is giving me an c2-15413-4 error and won't load now. I've tried redownloading and trying again but nothing.
So woo, seems like my PSTV is basically a brick unless I can figure this out...

that's wrong - of course you will. for a start, transfer via the content app or PS3. Also, you have the option of using your own PSP and PS1 rips via epsp -
da fuck, Gravity Rush works? why didn't they give it that support?

I don't mean to sound like I'm shit-posting because added functionality is good, but, that's it?

I can't see them anywhere much below 40. I'd jump on one for sub 30 right away with this glitch.
Edit haha people already dealt with the question.

Yeah you guys we wouldn't want to hamper the Vita's thriving and robust release schedule.
go to cex. £28.
you dont need to update to use that. by "offline", I mean just dont use PSN.
Weapon and item selection is done with the touch screen. I suppose that could be accomplished with the DS4's touchpad fine enough. But there's some rear-touch controls too, and clicking in the analog sticks on the controller won't cut it. I guess MG1 and MG2 in MGS3 would play fine, though.
But the game was blocked on PSTV for a very good reason, and I can't see Konami patching in controller support, as nice as that'd be.

Does his best thinking in the flying car
The list of "compatible" games is only a tiny subset of what the system can run. Sony required a whitelisting process that hardly any developers bothered with. Now that Sony has abandoned the system, future whitelisting of established titles becomes increasingly unlikely. Getting rid of that restriction is huge

shit, that means that Sony will block it... I wish this was only to unblock games.
Who the fuck cares about trophies that much that they need freaking hacks for them? and this is from someone that has like 15 Platinum trophies.
And the last thing the Vita needs is piracy.

I'm afraid the ship has sailed on that one
No need to be a fucking smart ass. People still appreciate the little support it has that's now going to suffer even more.
I bought a Vita TV primarily for Ys knowing it worked in Japan. I was shocked to find it didn't work here in the UK so promptly returned it. I've since finished Ys and Tales of Hearts so no oonger have any interest in a Playstation TV. Gravity Rush with a controller sounds nice, but I'll juwt get the PS4 version instead.
Sony really screwed it up. They should have just let you open anything and just warn you it wasn't an approved title.

Hoe about Sony making this official? Jesus how stupid can Sony be?
By this point Piracy would help the Vita more then it would hurt. Because then more people would at least buy the Vita/PSTV.

Yes. It's the very first thing in the initial setup.

Would hope Sony would just open the gates at this point. The platform is dead.
Aw, I was hoping it was at least a system update or something.
Really is the way it should have been from the start. Restrictions on what is supported should have simply been a warning message about how not all inputs will be available.
(at least, as far as I know. I'm not privy to the technical details, of course, and speak with no authority.)

Sweet I'll get a PSTV and update my 3.18 PS Vita
Did you forget how selling consoles works? Money is made on the software, and very little on hardware (or even worse considering that write down a months back).
