Most damagingly the file deleted os0:KD where the drivers for interfacing with the hardware for things like safe mode are kept, rendering the vita irreparable short of a hardmod being developed. However, the mai.suprx file that is injected into mai dumps for functions like plugin and DLC support had been replaced with code that would mount and delete vs0: and os0: (which are the system partitions of the vita) and reboot the vita. The backups claimed to be “ Fruit Ninja ” and “ kung fu rabbit – tested working – maidump v233.2z8” and indeed, inspecting the eboot, the overall file size, and game files, appeared to be normal game dumps. The issue would obviously only impact people running on a hacked PS Vita, not “regular” users of the system (in particular people who have updated to firmware 3.61 are not at risk with this)īelow, the article from MPT: Warning: Vita brickers are now in the wildĪ few days ago, two malicious game backups were posted that would perma-brick vitas, with no chance for repair unless someone develops a hard mod. On the other hand with this kind of stuff now out in the wild, it wouldn’t be surprising to see similar virus-like data spread in otherwise legit use of your hacked PS Vita, so please be careful what you download and where you download it from.īased on the explanation below, you will hopefully see how easy it could be for people to not only brick your ps vita, but also to alter their virus to make it less obvious to detect. It’s not our role here at to judge, but clearly here there was no legitimate use to downloading these games. On the one hand if you’re trying to pirate content then you’re probably asking for trouble.
