I had the opportunity to have a great little chat with total Noob(给我吐槽这个人名啊,什么叫彻头彻尾的菜鸟。。。太谦虚了吧。。。), to discuss his work. He was nice enough to disclose some cool new features for his exploit, as well as his planned release schedule.(好吧,也就是放出前的访谈了。。。)
wololo: For those who don’t know you yet, can you quickly introduce yourself and the things you’ve worked on for the PSP and Vita scene?
Total Noob: Hello Community!
(哈喽!)You all know me from the PSP scene through my useful plugins such like
xmbctrl, DayViewer or Download Manager and other famous works. Also, I was the first to publish a HEN [Homebrew enabler, a kernel exploit hack combined with homebrew launching functionality] for 6.XX and for the PSPgo…good old 6.20 TN-A Patapon times
(就是当时psp3000和pspgo发售的时候通过patapon的存档bug让我们运行自制系统的那家伙)
wololo: Can you describe what TN-V does? Can you share a list of features?
Total Noob: TN-V is a project I’ve never spent so much time on, compared to my other projects. I know that my work cannot break out of the sandbox [the PSP sandbox on the PS Vita] and therefore it may not appear as an awesome hack for some people. Regardless, it’s the biggest event in the PS Vita scene until now I guess.
(是啊,比如电玩巴士psv破解区基本上没人啊,不然怎么说是现今最牛叉的psv破解的东西呢。。。)Also, it is lots of fun for me as the inside of the PSP (Emu) is so great, there are still plenty of things to explore and discover. My aim was first to have the complete PSP environment on the PS Vita and second the best CFW core.(the Video below showcases the previous version of TNV, TNV-3, running, among other things, the PSP XMB, MP3 Player, etc…)
wololo: Any secret or new exciting feature in TN-V 4 that you can share with us?
Total Noob: The extra memory is of course the most exciting feature of TN-V4 (myself, I cannot even benefit of this feature xD) With this ability almost all homebrews (especially emulators), which have been designed for the PSP Slim, are now supported.
(熟悉的玩家都知道,现在所有psv上的psp模拟器都是基于最老的psp1000版本制作的,内存是32m,少的可怜,更新后,会变成64m,这样一边运行游戏一边开个金手指神马的就so easy了,不过,上一次搬运还是上上一次搬运的时候提到的,得是2.5一下版本的玩家才能获得此次破解,更高版本的玩家仅仅是通过漏洞能够运行psp模拟器而已,并不能享受到此次内存扩容更新,你问为啥,本文下面有讲的)Furthermore, TN-V4 exploits all the possibilities of the PSPEmu. For example, there will be a feature where you can apply PS Vita settings such like PSN account, Button Assign, language, date, to the PSP Emulator. This is a practical feature when you lost the PSP settings for example.
(也就是说这次放出的psp模拟器基本上是接近原版psp全功能的模拟器了,嗯)As many users wished, I’ve added the possibility to change the button combo to simulate the HOME and NOTE button. ISO games can now also be categorized with GCLite.
Emulators running on TNV4
wololo: You said a while ago you would release TN-V after the PS4 is out (to guarantee the Vita will have the necessary firmware to interact with the PS4). You also asked the community to help by porting existing usermode exploits to your upcoming kernel exploit. Now that this is mostly done, do you have a better idea of when you plan to release?
Total Noob: It is expected that TN-V4 will be
released between November and January. In my eyes, TN-V4 is already good for a release
(简而言之,作者在这仨月内会放出这货,并且,已经觉得更新的差不多了,没必要再继续更新了。。。) wololo: Typically a kernel-mode psp exploit also requires a usermode exploit to activate it. We have the usermode exploits from past
VHBL releases, but do you also have your own usermode exploit to release as part of your TN-V release?
Total Noob: No I don’t, I am looking for the cheapest and widely available user exploit. If someone of you has got one, you can contact me about it [if you can help with that, you can PM Total Noob on /talk
here].
(果然破解还是省钱才是王道啊!) wololo: You said you ran into issues with the extended PSP RAM on recent Vita firmwares. Did you find a way around this issue, or is it still a problem?
Total Noob: On FW 2.60 the extra RAM is no longer available, because now the RAM from 0x8A000000-0x8B000000 is now an alias memory of 0×09000000-0x0A000000. This makes the rest of memory from 0x8B000000-0x8C000000 unusable for homebrews, because the extra memory must be appended to the normal user memory.
(索尼还是很会堵漏洞的。。。) wololo: Some people have been using your previous eCFW on Vita’s firmware 2.02 for a long time. Would you suggest these people to stay on 2.02, or to update to 2.61 (or above) once you release. In other words, do you think your new TN-V is better than your previous version of the eCFW?
Total Noob: If you have a preference for PSP homebrew s and emulators, then I advise you to stay on a FW below 2.60. TN-V4 is way better than the previous revisions. I’ve fixed tons of bugs made by Sony but also my own bugs made in TN-V3. hackinformer, my betatester, reported that no Custom Emulator Firmware has ever run as fast as TN-V4.
(所以,想在psv上玩psp的玩家就别着急升级psv系统了,最好在2.6以下,而且这次升级后模拟器的速度相当给力。。。) wololo: Several former psp hackers have access to psp kernel exploits, but you are the only one who shared yours for the Vita. How would you explain that? Are people afraid to release their exploits?
Total Noob: I always wanted to publish a CFW by myself. 3 years ago that was even my dream xD.
I guess that people are simply not interested to spoil the scene with their Kernel Exploits. Me I’ve got 4 Kernel Exploits, that’s why I can offer you guys one.
(好吧,4个漏洞了。。。如果能有更多人发现,漏洞更多,那该多好。。。)
wololo: Would you have some piece of advice for people who want to give a try at console hacking? Maybe a list of tools you use regularly?
(国内黑客们急需关注的东西,结果答案就一句话。。。。)
Total Noob: I use most prxtool and PSPDecompiler. PSPDecompiler to have a quick overview of the code and prxtool to reverse engineer.
wololo: Have you looked into the possibilities of Native Vita hacking? If so, did you find anything interesting you can share with the community ?
Total Noob: Until now, I’ve only worked within the PSP Emu.
(也就是说原生态的psv破解目前还没人去啃。。。) wololo: Will you be getting a PS4, and if so, do you have plans to look into hacking possibilities for it?
Total Noob: Not trying to sound overly modest, but I’m really just a PSP hacker
(好吧,你专业黑psp若干年,长发已经及腰了)Also lets you run games that are only available on UMD…
wololo: Any final words, people you would like to give credit to, etc… ?
Total Noob: I want to thank Dark_AleX. He was the biggest inspiration in my PSP “career”. So that’s it guys! A release somewhere between November and January, increased speed, even better homebrew support. And of course, all of this will be available on the latest and greatest Vita firmware (2.61 as of this writing). Oh, and TN still has 4 freaking psp kernel exploits, this is crazy!Thanks a lot for your time TN, I can pretty much guarantee a lot of people are looking towards this release. I know I am! It goes without saying, but stay tuned for Ninja releases…(Thanks to TN for the interview, TNV-4 screenshots courtesy of
hackinformer)
发布完毕,大家静待更新发布,嗯!!!!
