Developer TheFlow has been on fire of late in regards to his work on the PSVita we have seen the developer's amazing work with VitaShell an excellent AIO type homebrew for the Rejuvenate exploit. Now the developer has another release that many Vita enthusiasts will enjoy as PS1 Loader has been released. This new release will allow you to create Custom PSone Bubbles for the LiveArea menu of the Vite by using multiple exploits depending on your firmware, but if your on firmware v3.52 and lower there is a solution for you .. This release comes with 3 components as the developer outlines in the release [break]dd[/break] quote. Enjoy and be careful to follow all the outline instructions provided.:,

*UPDATE* PlayStation TV (PSTV) & PS VitaTV are not supported.

PSone Loader
PSone Loader is a software which allows you to run PSone classic games from the PS Vita Livearea (custom PSone bubbles). It does support custom as well as official PSone games. This software is made of 3 components: The DUMPER, which does dump the PSP and KIRK headers of the 'simple' module (DATA.PSP) that is required for the SIGNER program. The SIGNER, which does inject the fake signed custom 'simple' module into a PSone game converted as 'EBOOT.PBP'. The LOADER, which does patch the pops module in order to allow custom converted PSone games and to bypass license verification of offical PSone games.

Installation:(from installation.txt in release)
Be aware that this short tutorial here is hard to follow if you're not familiar with the PS Vita stuff. User-friendly tutorials are going to be written by other members of the PS Vita scene.

1. Base: To setup custom PSone bubbles you'll need to own at least ONE purchased official PSone game. Choose any PSone game, the size of it does not even matter.
You should be able to dump or download the 'EBOOT.PBP' of the choosen game in order to dump the base headers.

2. Dumper: Put the official PSone 'EBOOT.PBP' at 'ms0:/EBOOT.PBP' and run DUMPER on your PSP/pspemu running TN-V. The newest CFW is recommended.
If it could be dumped successfully, you will find a new file at 'ms0:/BASE_HEADERS.BIN'.

3. Signer: You can sign any custom or official PSone game with the signer program. Put a custom PSone 'EBOOT.PBP' and 'BASE_HEADERS.BIN' on your PC near to the signer.exe program. Then execute signer.exe with these arguments:

Code:

'signer BASE_HEADERS.BIN EBOOT.PBP' or 'signer BASE_HEADERS.BIN EBOOT.PBP OUTPUT.PBP'

If it could be signed successfully, the output file does now have the custom 'simple' module injected.

4. Loader: Transfer 'PSVX00000' to your PS Vita, you'll find it at 'PlayStation(R)' in CMA. These are core files of the PSone Loader. Custom PSone bubbles won't start without this loader.

5. Transfer ; You can transfer the signed custom PSone EBOOT.PBP to your PS Vita by using CMA (put it in any PSP savedata or even better, in the 'PSVX00000' folder) or by using FTP. Using VitaShell, PSPFiler or any other programs, create a folder at pspemu directory: /PSP/GAME/DISC_ID, where DISC_ID is the same as in your custom 'EBOOT.PBP'.
This step is important, otherwise the game won't start. Copy your custom 'EBOOT.PBP' to this new folder.

6. App.db: Insert a new entry or modify an existing entry with these strings:

Code:

566916785: mba 2593862978: originalpath=ux0:pspemu/PSP/GAME/DISC_ID&selfpath=ux0:pspemu/PSP/GAME/DISC_ID/EBOOT.PBP&discid=DISC_ID&parentallevel=0&gamedataid=&appver=00.00&bootable=1&category=ME 3022202214: vs0:app/NPXS10028/eboot.bin

where DISC_ID is again the DISC_ID of the custom PSone game.

7. Enjoy: Everything has been done and the custom PSone bubble will now work after reboot.

!!Notes!!

The method of custom PSone bubbles does not have the 'Settings' menu which is used to configure screen mode, button assignments, disc change, etc. However the structure of the configuration file '__sce_menuinfo' has been documented at 'include/pops_config.h'. Therefore it is possible to write a PC app that can do the configuration for your PSone games.

Update
@atreyu187 has some additional details about this release and the exploits needed for your firmware:

atreyu187 said:

So for firmware:

3.50 and lower only ePSP is needed for install.

3.51 Rejuvenate or EML is needed due to write access being blocked in ePSP & ePS1 CEF.

3.52 can only be installed via EML with ePSP CEF as Rejuvenate was patched on 3.52 thus stopping native Vita homebrew for VitaShell use.

PS4 Homebrew Store (ALPHA) - Latest Update by LigthingMods
Developer @LigthingMods has released an update to the PlayStation 4 Homebrew Store App that is currently in the Alpha Stages of development. We have now seen several releases of this homebrew store and the functionality of delivering you a homebrew package (pkg's) works very well."Simply" select and download then boom the app installs the homebrew and is ready to use on your Homebrew Enabled PS4. So the foundation seems solid in terms of the functionality. However you must be warned the User -Interface could use a bit of work but we are sure the developer is aware of this and plans to make further improvements as we embark into the future. One of more annoying quirks you will find in the UI will be with navigation as homebrew is randomly listed and you must navigate pages of listing to find Homebrew. In this update there has been the inclusion of a search feature and in my honest opinion it can be a bit picky (if you do not know the exact name of the homebrew) also a pagejump does allow you to navigate any page on demand, but not the most ideal way of browsing the Homebrew contained in the store. A suggestion to help the browsing of pages would be to add some category listing's and even a newly released section . Now this update there has been plenty of changes/improvements for those changes lets take a look @ligthingmods take it from here with the release details for this huge update found below, also @MasterTurkey has a video showing a bit of the update also.

Update #3 for Orbital - An PS4 Emulator by @AlexAltea - now with DualShock 4 support!
Following up after his Milestone Update back in March, Developer @AlexAltea showcases his third Update from his PS4 Emulator Orbital, which now supports the inputs from an original DualShock 4 Controller together with a new and updated Presentation from the current Development Stages of his PS4 Emulator on his own YouTube-Channel (know with a higher Resolution and Quality ). Although the support isn't perfect (the keypress shows big delays on the PS4 while running in Safe Mode - but they are fixable), it is still nice to see how difficult it is to emulate a Console from the ground-up until running a playable Game, but also how much effort he takes to get this PS4 Emulator updated and running better and better. This is already worth some kudos, don't you think? And he has already plans for future updates, such as the possibility to allow a re-installation from the PS4 System Software via an USB Mass Storage Device. Running the Operating System from a emulated Console is always very important and a good basis to make some further work profitable. If this progress will keep so strong for the future, we think we can expect some great functions from that Emulator and for emulating a PS4 on a PC in General, what do you think?

  Tutorial being written by me using Vagrant Story as a base due to its small size under 90mb. May use Tekken 2 since switching to XS Moto for TN-X since the trigger is much faster then Tekken 2's method of loading the CEF. Only thing stopping me is its size of 250+MB since I don't like that game, only bought it due to being $0.99 during a fire sale to use the game as an exploit title. I actually like Vagrant Story, but either way one of my easy to follow guides will be posted. Also should be noted my game I will be making a bubble for is a translation of Dracula X so hacked and modded PS1 games work as a bubble so you can have great games like Policenauts that aren't officially available to enjoy. Also another thing I forgot to mention is the only requirement of the PS1 base game. It MUST be an officially supported PS1 game. Since some are blocked on the Vita and even more on the PSTV make sure you use a known working game so you don't buy a "dud"

  Can't write on ms0:/
  
  When I try to copy the EBOOT.PBP file in the root folder (ms0:/) I get the dialogue " can not write ". I used Dino Crisis psn game and PSP Filer to copy the files.

  You obviously didn't read the whole page. 3.50 - 3.52 can't use PSPFiler to move as Sony blocked write access to those firmwares for the PSP/GAME folder. You have to use EML as your above 3.51 so Rejuvenate will not work. You have to write the EBOOT via EML hacks from the email app. Read the guides here I made they will tell you where to start and what to do.

  [MENTION=2]STLcardsWS[/MENTION] this hack does not work for PSTV users only Vita users. I have tried and failed as well as work with some notable Vita devs and no one can get this to work on Vita TV or PSTV.

  Real bummer as well. I made them on my Vita and did a CMA backup of them and restored the two games. Will install but throw the infamous "This Title is not Suitable for the PSTV" even with the whitelist. We are trying to find an adv. whitelist mod for the app.db like for Vita games that bypasses any restrictions. As the first whitelist (the blank db files) still would not allow some Vita games to work. Editing on the app.db allowed all games to work then. So maybe this will change soon but for now a no go. I spent hours making them for my PSTV, they install fine and look great but fail to launch. After success with my Vita I didn't bother to check on the PSTV as you would have to do an app db after each test so I just did all I wanted then tested and all failed. Bummer as this is the only PS1 Bubble method that doesn't use ARK as a back end which we know ARK has ZERO sound which isn't acceptable for games IMO. But if you don't mind no audio I can post that guide to using ARK for PS1 bubbles for PSTV sans sound.

  I've done this on 3.52 in another way. I've dumped EBOOT.PBP via FTP, modified TheFlow's dumper to look for EBOOT.PS1 on ms0, then transferred EBOOT.PBP (as EBOOT.PS1) via savegame and moved to ms0 via FILER

  I've run into a problem that I spent a whole night trying to fix, but no luck.
  
  When I sign an eboot of an official PSone Classic from PSN store and make a bubble for it, it plays no problem. Tried it with Einhander SLPS01008 and Warriors of Fate (aka Tenchi wo Kurau II SLPS00203), they all play great.
  When I sign an eboot that I converted using PSX2PSP 1.4.2, it freezes at the disclaimer boot image. PSP plays these eboots just fine at 1-9 compression, but corrupted with 0 compression. Even with 1 compression, Vita still freezes at the disclaimer boot image. PSX2PSP auto detects the DISC_ID, and I would copy/paste it for the bubble DISC_ID and PSP/GAME/DISC_ID/ folder too. All signed with BASE_HEADERS.BIN. Everything seems to check out, my procedure is identical for both PSN eboots and PSX2PSP eboots, but only PSX2PSP eboots won't work.
  
  PSP slim 3.36, NPJI-00019 as my base game.

  I don't have PSTV so i can't test. But this isn't my method - this is the very same mathod that The Flow posted in readme.txt but instead of writing "by hand" everything into app.db this script will generate all you need to execute in SQLiteBrowser

  No it doesn't work I am afraid as it is an issue with how the PSTV loads PS1 titles.

  Thanks Atreyu, hopefully something will be figured out down the road, or should I not hold my breath? Another question, does this method use TN-X or some other way to boot the PS1 game?

  It doesn't use TNX as that is just a custom firmware for PS1 this just makes use of all the tools that still work from the PSP days as all the keys are the same. To the system it looks legit.
