The solution can be a C-CMA…which acts like the real one…ask the system to update to a new firmware (CFW ofcourse)….

Has anyone got youtube and direct video download to work again on the vita? Why is the fact that sony stopped the direct video downloads with the javascript not being discussed or at least a warning that updating to 1.80 blocks it? I think that should be front page news also as it effects many users. (

In 2 years, definitelly. In 10 years? No idea to be honest. 10 years is a long time, much can happen by then.

But if the servers is being shut down in 10 years from now, i hope that Sony updates the CMA so that it doesnt require internet connection. I’m not sure why it requires internet connection in the first place. I mean, seeing that OpenCMA works fine, it doesnt seem to be any heavy online checks going on. Based on this, i guess that it shouldnt be a problem to do an official CMA that doesnt require a internet connection.

But i guess there will be some solution in the future, official or unofficial

So, you trust that Sony’s servers will still be here in 2 years… how about in 10 years?

I still dont see the big problem with CMA. Having to have internet connection is not really a problem at all in these days, generally speaking. I mean, certainly in some cases people dont always have internet access, maybe if they are traveling with a laptop to take on example. But for the most part, having internet connection is not a problem for most people.

How CMA works is pretty self explanatory from my experience. You install the program on your PC, then connect the Vita. Then you get option on the Vita screen what you can do.

Not entirely true. The PSP was a closed system. The vita, on the other hand, is the mother of all closed systems.
Sony did not announce how CMA would work, how copying files to the system would require constant internet connection, etc… that was discovered by early buyers after they had made the purchase.

Even today, few websites explain clearly how restrictive CMA really is.

I mean, i can understand if they buy something and the item isnt working properly. Then i understand the complaints. But it was known that the Vita was a closed system from day 1.

Yep, i think the Vita browser is running in sandbox mode anyway, so it wouldnt work indeed.

I think it would not work. Because PSP games run from a virtualized environment. It would not have access to the browser’s cache.

It will always be like this. It was like this from day one of the Vita launch, and Sony will try to do everything to keep it secure. If it feels bad, why did you buy it? Just wondering. I dont understand why people buy something and then complain later on how it is.
