Release: 6.60 TN-B for Urbanix and Mad Blocker Alpha



Total_Noob just released an update to his eCFW for the Vita, CEF 6.60 TN Hen. The game makes compatibility with previous exploits easier to achieve, brings some bug fixes, but more importantly, brings compatibility with the game Mad blocker Alpha.
We organized a Ninja Release for the game, and hopefully many people were able to buy it in time, but sadly, the name of the game was leaked by a handful of people, and got pulled from the Sony PSN (this is at least confirmed for Europe, people in the US might have better luck) before we could do this public announcement. 15’000 members of our forums were part of the Ninja release, and in all honesty I wouldn’t expect all of them to keep their mouth shut, but it is sad to see that some major scene websites contributed to the leak, in the form of “rumor” articles and falsely naive posts. In the long run, those things hurt the scene more than necessary.
That being said, hopefully all the people who were looking for the ninja release got the info in time, and, well, if you missed the Monster Hunter exploit AND the Urbanix exploit AND the Mad Blocker alpha exploit, maybe the world wasn’t ready for your Vita to be hacked. There might be other opportunities in the future, but to be honest, a Kernel exploit has that “once a year” kind of feeling to it, if you ask me. And the “extra opportunity” for those who missed the release was actually the Mad blocker Alpha one, which really wasn’t planned initially.
For people on previous exploits who haven’t updated to one of the 3 exploits mentioned above, I’d say stay tuned. At some point TN’s work will be made open source (as he said a few days ago), and porting the eCFW to your exploit will become possible at that point.

Lots of things to say about this, but for now I have to catch a bit of sleep.
Credits go to Total_Noob for the CFW, and to Frostegater for the Mad blocker alpha usermode exploit. A Paypal link to donate to Total_Noob can be found in the readme. Additional credits in the readme as well.
- Custom Emulator Firmware 6.60 TN-B
- for PSVita 1.81
- by Total_Noob


INFO: I am sorry those guys, who couldn't download the exploit game yet. In the EU Store it has been already removed.
Those who leaked the Exploit name are idiots who just hurt the scene, not me. I just do my best, it's not my fault that they do such damn acts.

- Instructions
* You just should either have the mini "Urbanix" or "Mad Blocker Alpha: ROTF" from PS Store. Else, you're fucked ;-)
* Extract the associated folder (see below) to "PSAVEDATA/*SOMECHARACTERS*/..." and copy the new savedata to your PSVita with CMA.
* Launch the mini and after the savedata loading the screen should be flashed WHITE, before it automatically starts "TNMenu 0.2".
- If you got here a RED screen, that means the exploit couldn't be initialized.
- If you got a PURPLE screen, that means CEF couldn't be started.


- Associated savedata folders
* Urbanix EU: NPEZ00176
* Urbanix US: NPUZ00077
* MBA EU: NPEZ00327CPMEM
* MBA US: NPUZ00210CPMEM


- About "Custom Emulator Firmware "CEF" 6.60 TN"
Actually it isn't correct to call it "CEF 6.60 TN", because the kernel is always 6.60, but changes are within the PSVita Firmware. But anyways, it doesn't matter how the CFW is called.
--This "CEF" does NOT have anything to configure yet. All configurations of the previous Custom Firmwares are not available, as they are not useful for "CEF".
--It DOES NOT support PSX. By emulating 6.60 pops modules I get PSX working, but there is no sound, so better let it be.

Features:
* Possibility to load unsigned homebrews and modules.
* Possibility to load plugins (NPEZ00176/GAME.TXT, NPEZ00176/POPS.TXT).
* Possibility to play backups with March33 and Sony NP9660 driver.
* Possibility to get back to TN Menu by holding the START BUTTON for some seconds.
* "CEF" renames "EBOOT.PBP" to "FBOOT.PBP".
* Protects you from removing license files, else you have to download the game from PSN Store again.


- About "TN Menu"
This menu is developed with OSLib. IT IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT, so it may have some bugs.

Control:
* [] to open the configuration menu.
* /\ to delete a file.
* X to install a homebrew, move backups, or to load a homebrew/game.
* Arrows to move.

Prepare homebrews:
* Create an ZIP archive of the homebrew, saved as: "FILENAME.ZIP/PSP/GAME/*THE_HOMEBREWS_NAME*/EBOOT.PBP".
* "FILENAME.ZIP" can be saved somehow, it just MUST BE UPPER CASE LETTER and the filename can ONLY BE 8 CHARACTERS LONG.
* Save the archive in the savedata folder.

Install ISO/CSO:
* Copy backup file to the savedata folder, UPPER CASE LETTER, 8 CHARACTERS LONG.
* Start TN Menu and press X on the game to move it to "ms0:/ISO/" (you'll reach ~2000 KB/s).

* DEFAULT.PNG 144x80
* CORRUPT.PNG 144x80
* BATTERY_SKIN.PNG (size doesn't matter)
* BATTERY.PNG (inside the skin)
* PROGRESS_BAR_SKIN.PNG (size doesn't matter)
* PROGRESS_BAR.PNG (inside the skin)
* BAR.PNG (where the game title is) 480x26
* OPTION_MENU.PNG (which scrolls up) 480x246
* BACKGROUND.PNG 480x272

Colors, style and etc. are up to you.
Send these images to my email: total_noob@hotmail.com
Please don't waste your time, if you aren't talented. I'll only pick up the best ;)


- Porting CEF
If you want to port CEF to other user exploits, just check the "H" folder, for "normal" people, that isn't interesting.
You don't have to modify any files, just use these files:
* TN.BIN
* FLASH0.TN
* MENU.PBP
* DEFAULT.PNG

NOTE: Always use this document and add your name to credits when you release any ports.

* Thanks to Takka for his ISO/CSO reader.
