We have a proof of concept video of the Vita Half Byte Loader (VHBL) running on PS Vita firmware 2.10. To be clear, this homebrew firmware can only play homebrew games, no roms, CSO’s or ISO’s.

The Z on Vita Half Byte Loader

A quote from the maker called The Z:

This video shows a running version of the Vita Half Byte Loader (VHBL) by me, The Z, at a PS Vita with the new Firmware 2.10 ! Its at the moment just a Proof of Concept, I am showing that its working. I will have to increase the compatability with more homebrews, but for now, its working fine.

What is the PlayStation Vita?

The PlayStation Vita is a portable game console (handheld) made by Sony. It is the successor to the PlayStation Portable as part of the PlayStation brand of gaming devices. The PS Vita primarily competes with the Nintendo 3DS, as part of the 8th generation of gaming.

Inside the Vita
The handheld includes two analog sticks, a 5-inch (130 mm) OLED multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, and supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and optional 3G. Internally, the Vita features a four-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor and a four-core SGX543MP4+ graphics processing unit, as well as LiveArea software as its main user interface, which succeeds the XrossMediaBar.
