Developer Dridri (who created the open Idea iso loader for the psp a year ago) is now looking for Beta testers for a tool that aims at replacing Sony’s CMA client on your PC.
This tool is based on some research by Yifan Lu that I mentioned a while ago, and will allow to copy files from and to the vita without being connected to the internet (something that Virtuous Flame’s Open CMA already provides, but OI CMA is entirely open source and built from scratch).
Additionally it is compatible with Linux (actually, for now, it is *only* compatible with Linux if my understanding is correct). This means Linux users won’t have to wait anymore for Sony to provide a Linux driver for the Vita… (yes, once again, hackers are helping a company making its products better)
There are also a few additional features that I won’t describe until I personally test the tool, but basically this tool might help us remove some of the limitations of CMA. Needless to mention, OI CMA will not allow you to pirate games in any way. People who have seriously looked at the way CMA works for more than 5 minutes know that all the important DRM verifications are done on the Vita, not on the PC client.
If you’re interested to beta test, check this thread and contact Dridri. I have the feeling that this could become an extremely useful tool.

Nice
-
release the hack wth made plzz
-
waiting on the wth vhbl as well. was excited to see a blog post, but not quite what i was for. hopefully soon.
-
Just keep your patience. Stuff gets released when its ready.
Asking for it in reply to an article which has nothing to do with a new hack/exploit won’t make Wololo or others get it any faster. Aka like I always tell kids: crying for candy doesn’t work.

-
Is it possibel to instal homebrews with this tool? And does it destroy my warranty?
-
Yes it will be very easier to install PSP homebrews for VHBL.
And I don’t think there is any problem about warranty
-
-
This will be extreamly useful. I’m already fed up with the current CMA and it’s idiot-proof design. Not enough features!
Oh will we be able to see file structure?
-
Unfortunately it is not possible to see file structure, because PC the works as a slave and only can do what the PSVita has requested
-
-
Sure you do…
-
-
-
-
me ?
-
Wait what?…. Where the f*** is VHBL?
Sorry, but I don’t understand, why it’s still not released… -
It is released, only for people with the artic edge game!
I am not one of the lucky ones
Anyway be patient, theres are a lot of knowledgable people working on these things as we speak.
-
In the meantime let’s have orgies
-

-
BBAAALLLLLSSSSS!!

isnt this similar to psveeter? or am i just dumb which is probable.
-
No PS veeta 0.2, is just a program that relies on the actual content manager.
-
Ugh ubuntu 10:10 is diabolical. completely unusable, where did they go oh so wrong? pos
-
Every new app, homebrew, exploit, all add up as experience to what we’re all waiting for; easy access.
If it takes another year, so what? it’s a fairly new device with new technology to figure out. Kudos to those sacrificing their own time to help those like me who don’t have time to spare. -
This is untrue Dridi, you can see the file structure of the PS Vita.
Also next time when you release a work like that, say your source or give credit to the person who help to find this and how it works.
Like Nabnab said, the PS Vita use NFS structure/protocol and to exploit the file system, you need to go under NFS-root
File systems -> Network File systems (CMA) -> NFS client support (CMA) -> Root file system on NFS (Kernel CMA Mode)
Start to be annoying to see person like you that call themselves dev when you make stuff from other work and also claim that you are the only one who make this possible.
I just saw that nabnab has some problem recently and he can’t continue (sorry nabnab) and thanks for your work.
I rarely saying this but you just a piece of shit dridi, congrats for insulting and take work from other.
Typical of the GEN user website

*troll detected*
-
initiating burn-the-troll-like-a-boss program…
initialization failed…XDseriously, im an IT person and i have a psp with cfw, but one step of the whole exploit thing threw me off… one day, when i dont have anything else productive, i will try to make one. and hopefully, you can see something like “natsu exploit”… i think finding exploits is far better than trolling

Ando stop to talk about something that you can not understand, Nabnab Clone, you think that you are a hacker or something so, but no, your not !
Then go back to your stuff and stop to troll this blog !-
You make no sense… gibberish…
-
-
Ando’s an idiot for spreading negative vibes during this exciting time. If you haven’t got anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

una pregunta yo tengo 2 cuentas de psn una japonesa y otra de mexico con la japonesa compre un juego ^^ obviamente y pues para jugarlo tengo que andar reseteando mi vita y cambiando de memoria para cambiar de cuenta puesto que si yo intento pasar mi juego de una cuenta a otra con el cma me dice que el juego no es mio y que no me permitirá copiarlo existe alguna forma de transferir mi juego a la otra cuenta o para lograrlo pasar a mi memoria
-
a question I have 2 psn accounts a Japanese and a buy mexico with Japan ^ ^ obviously a game and to play it because I have to walk my vita resetting and changing memory switch accounts because if I try to spend my game one account to another with the CMA tells me the game is not mine and I will not copy it there any way to transfer my game to another account or to achieve pass my memory
-
So, where i can get this program… i ust bought a ps vita but i’m using ubuntu so where i can download it….
-
I recently deleted Windows 7 Ultimate from my Netbook and installed Linux Mint 13 Xfce (so my netbook runs about 100 times faster now its not bloated with MShit lol), so an open source CMA would be awesome! Can’t wait till it comes out so I wont need to use Wine with OpenCMA anymore…always better to have a Linux native app!
All I gotta do now is find native linux alternatives for a few Windows based apps I use all the time and I can finally be rid of Windows for good!
Long live the PS Vita and PSP homebrew scene
And all hail our new overlord Wololo
:D:D!

Apparently we're on twitter too
