Hello World On PS Vita, Thanks to Buffer Overflow

Posted by timothy on from the in-the-palm-of-your-hand dept.

YokimaSun writes "Mamosuke, a PSP Homebrewer from Japan, has posted the first Hello World on the PS Vita which comes from the PSP Emulator in the console. Using a buffer overflow, he has found a way into the PSVita, and with many PSP Game exploits still around and not published for the whole homebrew and hacking community this means that in the short term homebrew is here on the PSvita. Lets hope this is the start of a true PSVita homebrew scene."

    Well, considering it was a known (to the author) exploit for the PSP, it would make sense to try that same exploit in the PSP emulator on the PSVita.

    Two analog sticks, front and rear touch screen, a lot of power, great PSP/PSX emulator compatibility (much better than ePSXe or PCSX), and a cheaper price for people who can't afford a data plan for their phone.

    Right, so you run a product made by Sony, the largest lying and swindling house on the planet.
