VHBL for Firmware 1.80 Status

First news came from Wololo regarding an anonymous developer having a exploit for the PS Vita. Then Neur0n's announcement which was closely followed by xerpi. All having found exploits for the PS Vita in order to port VHBL. How many more freaking exploits can the PS Vita have? Well I can tell you that there is at least one more. Acid_Snake has now joined the party and has ported VHBL to his PS Vita. Only downfall to his method is the lack of support for ScummVM, Chicken invaders, Warcraft 2D and snes9xTYL to name a few. But hey maybe his second exploit, yes second, might be a little more forgiving.

About Acid_Snake's Exploit:

I have another VHBL port ready for my second exploit, and a new exploit.

Only my first exploit will be available some time after neur0n's, the rest will be kept in the dark for a while.

It seems that no one will be releasing any exploits until Sony brings update 1.80. So you will need to be patient. What you will like to hear is that Wololo knows of at least 16 exploitable games which need further testing.
