As i have no official confirmation from PS Vita devs, i am going to label this a rumour.
It seems that The Z a Super Moderator on German PSP website PSPKing, found a video on popular Chinese video site Youku, of an unknown coder playing PSP ISO’s and CSO’s on his PS Vita, here is a translated quote from the source, followed by the video, which TheZ uploaded to YouTube:
On the Asian video platform youku now a video has surfaced showing a PS Vita, which launches a sort ISO Loader, bringing to all appearances ISOs and CSOs can choose to launch the PSP.
Whilst this has been made possible by other projects from other developers been, so this is the first time that a video was made and posted them. One may assume that this is not PSP ISO Loader released for the PS Vita, as it is not based on the anscheinen VHBL is. Although this would appear PSP ISO Loader, the PS Vita would hardly hurt because no PS Vita can play ROMs or what is currently at the PS Vita is the most important thing.
UPDATE
Well know PSP Developer Wololo has confirmed this as the genuine thing, here are two small quotes from his article on his blog:
You might remember the hacker whom I nicknamed “Tony”, who was able to run PS1 games and psp isos with a CFW on a PS Vita. Or you might remember Davee’s HEN running on a PS Vita back in march. You might also remember that I mentioned that several groups are now in possession of a PSP kernel exploit on the Vita.
Well it seems today that a beta tester for one of these groups was not completely careful, and leaked a video showing him running psp isos on a Vita (video below).
What I can tell you right now is that this video is legit, and that this is neither Davee nor “Tony”‘s work. But this should not be a surprise to most people here, as I’ve mentioned in the past that we know of at least 5 groups that have PSP kernel exploits.
It’s worth mentioning that these exploits do not use VHBL in any way, but it is likely that most of them would require to go through a user mode exploit first (which probably means one of the game exploits we typically release with our Ninja release system).

Interesting video.. perhaps its based on the kermit files thing that came out a while back?

p.s.
copy/paste sucks, especially when you dont even use quotes >.<

Maybe we can see a Vita CFW soon.

if someone made the possibility of a cfw on the vita, within a week there would be someone to at least get an iso going, maybe not a Vita game but original

I just want to play my PSP games that are not currently supported on the Vita!
I would HAPPILY PAY for them again if they put them on the store, but since they have failed me on this I will happily go the hack/piracy route to achieve this (Although technically it's not piracy as I own the games in question, just not in a format my Vita will play).
I just want Phantasy Star Portable 2 on my Vita!!!

PSP Backups on PS Vita nearly a year into its life.
The PS3 had PS2 backups running in less time, PS3 released November 2006, PS2 backups running on PS3 March 2007

it was already possible with a tool called fake np along with VHBL. don't ask me why it works in usermode environment, i don't have any idea

Great the PSV would be usable with a lot more variety.
I'd love to play Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker PSP edt. on the PSV with both analogue sticks. Don't have a PSV though. Just wishful thinking.

Interesting. Still awaiting for Cobra to be decrypted to play PSP ISOs via PS3.

HACKERS - Please dont reveal the kernal exploit
SONY will patch it before PS4 is released so no (potentially the same) PS4 exploit.

Strangely 3DS is still unhackable.

I wonder if running psp isos on vita will help with the lag problems that I've noticed with some a few years ago, like gta

*never release anything or it will be fixed!!!* - corrupted logic and one of many excuses not to release anything for public.
--not "never" - but once a decent amount of exploitable consoles are for sale.. release now and a tiny number will have the exploit.. like the King Kong hack on 360.. even JTAG (non RGH) were hard ($$$) to find 12 months after being patched
--I am 99% sure PS4 and 720 will not be hacked.. a 1MB hypervisor where each line of code can be scrutinized, everything encrypted numerous times, efuses etc
Dont forget PS3 was only hacked because of a leaked service dongle.. in other words a documented way to access the system that was made public. before that.. years of no progress then geohots frankenfirmware was all we had.
But I do hope we see DUPLEX releases of playable PS4 isos.. coz.. **** Sony.

If PS3 still had OtherOS everyone would still be happy without JB/CFW. I for one would, I'd love to use my PS3 as a Linux PC.

Pretty cool. Not $250 cool, but pretty cool.

No, your choice to use the current exploits to use homebrew and other applications on your PSP is your choice, but to do that and to want to continue to do that is a bit of a bigger choice. Once the exploits are released, they WILL be fixed, there is nothing stopping them from just being patched, but then you have to make the choice to enjoy your own newer games over playing older games on older firmware just to have homebrew and other things like that.
If you are in it for the homebrew, the choice is a simple one, just don't update, and enjoy as much emulators and etc as you want.
If you are in it to pirate and play games, you will probably end up updating to play the one game you own over the hundreds you can play.
It's human nature to want what we can't currently have, and if there is a possibility of having it, there's a possibility of doing it.

Before PSJB, we had Emulators running via OtherOS and via Swap magic on the GameOS.
Before PSJB, we had PS2 Backups, running via the switch method, or Via Swap Magic/USB Loader.
Before PSJB, we had homebrew games via BD-J, until Sony blocked that, the only option back then was to buy a BD Drive, blank BR discs and place your 1MB homebrew game...
We had all the above, whilst being on the current firmware, with access to OtherOS and PSN(apart from BD-J).
Once Sony stole OtherOS and PSJB was released, we had all that in improved segments, with the addition of PS3 backups and PSP/PS1 backups(Via Cobra).
This is the same as the PS Vita, we have everything/emulators/homebrew/PSP backups, once the Vita gets properly hacked, we will have exactly that with the addition of PS Vita backups.
So really things have not changed that much

limited otheos emu with crippled hardware support, very rudimentary emus
vs
full versions of most top emus with full hardware support and heaps of bells and whistles
--
playing region restricted discs and m2ts files
vs
playing every video and audio format known to man
--
ruining your hardware by ejecting discs while being read and opening the console and taking it apart voiding any warranty
vs
loading multiman
--
running games via a slow, expensive bd drive
vs
running games off a fast, cheap hdd, all in one place
--
imo things have changed a lot

So in reality, things didn't really change that much, they improved and evolved.
