(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Here is some more debug firmware news. Visiting Gamescom some very fine gentleman stumbled upon a PS Vita running debug firmware 1.69.1. The video below showcases the many neat features one can find, but the firmware does come with a rather interesting security feature. Every 90 days you are required to enter a new activation key and failing to do so would render your PS Vita useless as it will refuse to boot.

About PS Vita Debug Firmware:
Our good friends The Z and npt were at Gamescom this week, and found out that the Vita they tried had a 1.69.1 Debug firmware.

Features include:
1)A Package Installer (this apparently needs to run through CMA in order to copy packages), which, as the name implies, allows to install (unsigned?) packages.

2)Download content to the console without having to go
through CMA.

3)Choose which server to download Updates from, an option to fake a 3g network from wifi (to test 3g functionality)

4)A possibility to fake lots of parameters (such as free disk space, etc…)

5)Options to change key bindings (in particular X and O can apparently be exchanged)

6)Change region settings
