Thread: DOOM Running On PS Vita

PSP Dev Wololo is coding away and has managed to get Doom running on the PS Vita, here is a quote from the source:



A year and a half ago when I got Doom for PSP to run on the PSP Go, website hackaday noticed it and said “[being able to run Doom is] a prerequisite for any cracked device”. Some people try to run Linux on their hardware at all cost, I prefer Doom. Today I was able to tweak HBL a bit on the PS Vita to get Doom to run on it. Will I get hackaday’s attention this time too? That’s, hands down, the best fps available on the vita so far.

We are aware that this hack will be easily patched by Sony, but we still plan to publicly release it some time soon after the US/EU release of the Vita (we still have to port HBL to…………

me too :D release date in Europe is February, i can't wait !:evil:

good news nice to see ps vita Hacked

It is a standard to get DOOM running on anything with a processor, just like Linux junkies have to get Linux running on a toaster or a shoe!

Wait, I think I missed something, Did they somehow hacked vita (not completely of course), or does it allow users to install and use homebrew? I'm thinking of getting one if it's going to get hacked soon.

They sort of hacked the PSV, finding an exploit within the psp emulator files that allows ANOTHER emulator to run within the original. It's def.a step in the right direction, but it's not running PSV backups yet. Can't wait for the US release!!!!!

p.s. Someone managed to run picodrive (sega master sys.emu) just the other day. Since HBL runs, I'm guessing they simply need to re-code a few things per compatibility (probably an sdk thing, dunno).
