The Playstation Suite Open Beta is here!

Just a quick note because I don’t have much time to go in details: I just got an email from Sony saying that the Playstation Suite open Beta is (finally! It’s not like the console was out for 5 months already) now available.

If you have ideas of apps or games you would like to see on the vita and/or Android, think you have the skills to do it, and, who knows, hope you might get rich by selling it on the psn store, check their official page here:

(wow, I’m blogging two days in a row about cool stuff that Sony is doing, what’s wrong with me lately?)

    Wowsers…so for example, you would be able to develop an emulator for sale? Or alternatively, other homebrews become “Apps”. That’s great enterprising spirit from Sony!

      Most likely, emulators will be rejected. They clearly specify that the stuff you develop will work on your device without any specific activation as long as the beta lasts, but then it will stop working (how? That is not clear, timebomb in the firmware or the compiled binary? Force people to update?) and you will have to sign a contract with them if you want to distribute your stuff. Of course, at that point, emulators will be rejected.
      However, if the cost is “stay on a lower firmware to enjoy unsigned homebrews”, I might go with this…

        Thanks Wololo. I would love to see an Appstore-like opportunity for developers and for consumers. Although Apple is quite limiting, its Appstore has opened up to all kinds of creativity…. there wouldn’t be Angry Birds without the Appstore right?! lol.

        Too bad emulators would be rejected. Still – the prospect of homebrew apps being legit is great also.

        Notice: This application cannot be used when the Dev Program for PS Suite(open beta) is finished.

        Not sure if this was stated but couldnt the upper homebrew people make an emulator that works but then distribute the source code etc to the public so those who are registered with sonys program can install it on their own device?

        Or is this the type of contract distribution thats not allowed

        Reply

        1. predatorxdx’s avatar

          Also, could you guys make a simple (but hopefully) cheap game, then add a hidden exploit that is hard to find by sony, release to market, then later on announce you have discovered an exploit and port etc to it?

          Reply

          1. wololo’s avatar

            And lose the contract with sony? The goal of the playstation suite is to sell indie games, not to ruin one’s own contract…

    “Currently, the following devices are PS Certified (as of Apr. 19, 2012).” Then it shows pictures, no Vita. lol

      Cool beans, would love to convert some free source code just to play it on the Vita if it works that way…

        He diddn’t, if you read the “do not fuck announced” you will find he has no reading skills… and his username is likely the result of him trying to find a key on the keyboard while holding down d for too long.

      What the hell is wrong with you, can you stop living in your selfish little bubble for one second and realise that Wololo is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do, and he is doing it so as many people as possible get the exploit. It certainly wouldn’t be helpful if the only people who got it were ungrateful children like you.

        As much as I would as well, it isn’t likely.
        1: Its a game by a major scene advocate of Sony being more open on its devices. Sony may deny it solely on this basis.
        2: wololo would have no say in how much the app will cost, nor how much he would receive from each sale, nor is he allowed to make the app free.
        3: Wizards of the Coast may not approve.
        4: It would require the removal of all Wagic statements from this site, and all other works based on Wagic would not be allowed to be used except by Sony’s direct written permission.
        5: Wagic is GPL, and the license forbids such apps.
        “2. RESTRCTIONS
        ix: subject the PS Suite SDK in whole or in part to any of the terms of an Excluded License.

  17. M3rror’s avatar

    Does the Suite take control of the Vita’s functions? Such as using its GPU core to the max? To me, it doesn’t seem much could come out of this for the Vita’s sake when the game would have to work on all PS Certified devices and it would limit the developer to whatever works on the lowest platform (idk which one that is though).

    Guess I’ll have to try it out later and see, but I’m not keeping my hopes up for this to be a full way into the Vita homebrew wise. Another question: How long does the open beta last?

      My speculation, if he releases it now sony can take it down the same day. If he releases it on the weekend, they’ll have to wait til Monday to take it down because they only do changes to the PSN store on business days.

      Stop being so entitled and impatient. He surely has good reasons.

    xmm if the suite has access to ps vita kernel a tool to inject random code in order to crash the system or loop fuctions and look ram will be possible and then exploit the system.Nop i dont think sony will allow that restrictions on the suite are sure ;)
    but hence it will worth the try for one that knows what he do
