I know its a lil late but some of you might be lucky enough to have downloaded one of the 3 mini games from the PSN that can allow you to instal cfw 6.6 psp on your Vita. Giving homebrew , plugins and ISO support (psp only , no vita iso support as this is in psp emulation not vita root.)
first check out wololo.net for Vita home brew loading info and updates , as games get posted for exploits and PSN takes them down quick.
What you need.
A Vita running 1.81 fw(current as of now 11/16)
1 of 3 games from the psn downloaded from the store. They have been taken down , so if you did not down load it yet , then you will have to wait for a new game exploit to be found.
The games are "Urbanix" or "Mad Blocker Alpha: ROTF", or "Gravity Crash" all are mini's from the PSN.
A pc is required to alter the save data. recommended you install
OPENCMA. Currently opencma allows you to connect your vita to your pc w/o having your Vita connect to the PSN and possibly force update.
How to do it:
- from wololo.net
- Custom Emulator Firmware 6.60 TN-B
- for PSVita 1.81
- by Total_Noob (individual game exploits by various hackers)
- Instructions
* You just should either have the mini "Urbanix" or "Mad Blocker Alpha: ROTF", or "Gravity Crash" from PS Store.
* Extract the associated folder (see below) to "PSAVEDATA/*SOMECHARACTERS*/..." and copy the new savedata to your PSVita with CMA.
* Launch the mini and after the savedata loading the screen should be flashed WHITE, before it automatically starts "TNMenu 0.2".
- If you got here a RED screen, that means the exploit couldn't be initialized.
- If you got a PURPLE screen, that means CEF couldn't be started.

- About "Custom Emulator Firmware "CEF" 6.60 TN"
Actually it isn't correct to call it "CEF 6.60 TN", because the kernel is always 6.60, but changes are within the PSVita Firmware. But anyways, it doesn't matter how the CFW is called.
--This "CEF" does NOT have anything to configure yet. All configurations of the previous Custom Firmwares are not available, as they are not useful for "CEF".
--It DOES NOT support PSX. By emulating 6.60 pops modules I get PSX working, but there is no sound, so better let it be.
Features:
* Possibility to load unsigned homebrews and modules.
* Possibility to load plugins (NPEZ00176/GAME.TXT, NPEZ00176/POPS.TXT).
* Possibility to play backups with March33 and Sony NP9660 driver.
* Possibility to get back to TN Menu by holding the START BUTTON for some seconds.
* "CEF" renames "EBOOT.PBP" to "FBOOT.PBP".
* Protects you from removing license files, else you have to download the game from PSN Store again.
- About "TN Menu"
This menu is developed with OSLib. IT IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT, so it may have some bugs.
Control:
* [] to open the configuration menu.
* /\ to delete a file.
* X to install a homebrew, move backups, or to load a homebrew/game.
* Arrows to move.
Prepare homebrews:
* Create an ZIP archive of the homebrew, saved as: "FILENAME.ZIP/PSP/GAME/*THE_HOMEBREWS_NAME*/EBOOT.PBP".
* "FILENAME.ZIP" can be saved somehow, it just MUST BE UPPER CASE LETTER and the filename can ONLY BE 8 CHARACTERS LONG.
* Save the archive in the savedata folder.
Install ISO/CSO:
* Copy backup file to the savedata folder, UPPER CASE LETTER, 8 CHARACTERS LONG.
* Start TN Menu and press X on the game to move it to "ms0:/ISO/" (you'll reach ~2000 KB/s).
Also there is a part to you can do to help. Graffix guys they are taking images for the interface.
