[VITA Tool] PS VITA FW xTractor 2.01 update [Tool]

 

Description
PC utility for Windows that can expand the firmware
for PlayStationVita "PS VITA Firmware xTractor" has been released.

PS VITA Firmware xTractor
Since a more or less short break from public posts I am back with a little tool called "PS VITA Firmware xTractor".
For now it only works with firmware 00.945.040, tho surely I will update it sooner or later.
Just a short info about the firmware itself, it is not unencrypted like the PS3 ones.
The tool is ment for those who will join the VITA scene as a little sign that you are not alone ;-)
Crawl out of your holes and come up with your tools and research, guys!:)
I hope the PS VITA scene will not up as the PS3 scene did over the last months cuz of the piracy infected environment.
If you ask anyone who was with the beginning of the PS3 scene it was much more fun without the commercial sense behind it all.
Without this it would even have saved many talented people of a lot of trouble.
Nevertheless I hope to see the good guys back @ VITA!
Greetz to the ones who kept it real,

Version 1.01
Here a little update for the PS VITA FW xTractor:
Because of some requests I compiled a linux version.
The download is available below.
Aswell I added a simple check for the input file validation.
On linux I didnt bother to fix graphical issues, yet.
Version updated to 1.01.

Version 2.0
As the last version was hardcoded for a specific firmware,
this new version supports any PS VITA firmware file.
As well graphic bugs which appeared for some users should been fixed now.
As a little extra I implemented an information tab,
which shows various info about the loaded firmware.
Information about the single files will be added in the next release,
to be honest I was to lazy to implement it for now :P
In the next days I will compile it for Linux and MAC, so anyone can use it

Version 2.01
I just updated the PS VITA FW xTractor, changelog is attached below.
The 2.00 version had a problem setting the filenames correctly as the 1.0+ updates have different files than the older ones. Anyway, enjoy...
Filename fix

Nope the Vita comes out in December....

I don't have big hopes for the Vita being hacked early to be honest, but this is still good news.
