Homebrew developers working on cracking PlayStation Vita

Months after the release of Sony’s second attempt at a handheld gaming system, the PlayStation Vita, the system is already in the process of being cracked by developers so that homebrew software can run on the system. According to GenGame, homebrew developer Yifan Lu has started work on a homebrew application loading software called 'Usermode Vita Loader', which will allow homebrew apps and games to run on the system.The main way to bypass the PS Vita’s tight code is an unnamed exploit. There is no doubt that Sony will work on fixing the exploit as soon as possible, as the company is very much against letting its systems such as the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Portable (PSP) get cracked. Players not only run homebrew apps and games with cracked software, but also pirated copies of games. The PSP is one of the most famous handheld systems purely because of homebrew software and piracy. Yifan claims that the exploit isn’t meant to be used for piracy, but what others do with the exploit is up to them.Click here for full story
