A plugin that allows you to bypass DRM protection on any PS Vita content
A PS Vita kernel plugin that intercepts the DRM license check and exports a fake RIF file, letting you run purchased content on any account or device without decrypting the game. It targets PS Vita homebrew users on firmware 3.60–3.68 with HENkaku installed. Dead platform, niche audience, but it solved a real problem cleanly.
Works at the kernel level via taiHEN, so it intercepts license validation before the game ever sees it — no game patching needed. The fake license approach is clever: it preserves the PFS encryption so you can still pull official updates from PSN. Single C source file and a CMakeLists.txt; the whole thing is small and auditable. Documentation is unusually honest about what it won't do (PSP/PS1 titles, decrypted dumps).
Last commit was February 2021 and the PS Vita is a dead platform, so this is effectively a finished artifact, not an active project. Firmware support tops out at 3.68 — anyone on 3.69+ (or who accidentally updated) is out of luck with no path forward. The hardcoded fake license filename `6488b73b912a753a492e2714e9b38bc7.rif` across all games is a fingerprint that's trivially detectable if Sony ever cared to look. No tests, no CI — not that you'd expect them for a kernel plugin, but worth noting if you're studying the code.
