Total Noob’s CEF TN-V4

You’ve been waiting patiently for months. You’ve read change logs, heard rumors, looked atpictures and watches videos. You’ve checked Wololo’s site to the point where your F5 key is broken. You’ve put Dollars, Euros, and Yen in your PSN wallets. You (hopefully listened toinstructions and) downloaded your ninja release and now it is sitting in your Vita. Waiting. Begging. Crying. Screaming. GIVE ME TN-V4!!! Well the wait is over. TN-V4 is here!!! Welcome to Hackinformer! Would you like your TN-V4 served with 32 or 64mb of ram?

First off NONE of this wouldn’t be possible without the work of a single man. The masterpiece that he has crafted for the Vita that bears his initials, TN. Total_Noob you are a hero to the Vita scene, and the man that made this possible. Thank you for all of your hard work in making all of our Vita’s 1000 times cooler, giving us access to content that by all rights we should already have access to, and removing restrictions on a device WE OWN, NOT SONY. Total_Noob. We all humbly thank you.

On a personal note, Total_Noob DOESN’T get paid for his work. Nobody in this scene does. Everything down to the news you read to the exploit’s you install is all done for free and for the love of the scene. If you find Total_Noobs work worth a couple bucks (and you know it is!) you can donate to him here.

Secondly, We here at Hackinformer would like to thank Wololo and his team of moderators. Who made the ninja release of both exploit games possible. Without Wololo and his ninja release, Sony would most likely pull the games long before the majority of the end users would be able to get them. So to Wololo and his team a big thank you!

And lastly we would like to thank every developer who provides this game exploit to the scene (special thanks to Acid_Snake, Qwikrazor87, Patchouli and 173210) A big thank you Freakler who prepared all user exploits that trigger TN-V4.
