Open CMA has finally been fixed to work on the new firmwares.
After the recently released 2.00 and 2.01 firmware updates for the PlayStation Vita, Open CMA versions 4.5 and below no longer worked due to Sony’s new changes. However, now a new version, Open CMA 5, has been made by Virtuous Flame to work with the newest Vita firmwares. It’s recommend you download and use it, if you are on firmwares higher than 1.81. Open CMA 5 will only work on 2.00 and higher, so if you are on firmwares 1.81 and below continue and/or use my existing Open CMA 4.5 version. You can find the download for Open CMA 5 below with a description of what Open CMA is for those of you who need clarification or are new.
What is Open CMA?
Open CMA is the content manager assistant to copy files to the Vita. Open CMA is the same as the official Sony version but modified, so that you can copy files without any internet connection unlike the official Sony CMA which requires a constant internet connection to the Sony Servers, something that can be inconvenient It will also not sneak a patch or do a forced firmware update on your device if one comes out and it will not send any data to Sony or their servers about whats being copied, edited, and transferred. Open CMA also does not collect data regarding crashes.
In General it:
1. Allows offline transfers on either PC or Vita.
2. Allows lower firmwares to transfer. (Open CMA 5 works on 2.00+ Only)
3. Disallows the sending of information to Sony.
4. No contact to Sony’s servers.
5. Open CMA prevents CMA from auto updates or mandatory updates.
6. It also allows you to transfer anything black listed, it doesn’t check their servers to confirm if its on the PSN.
7. Lets you copy Homebrew, ISO/CSO to use with an exploit with less errors.

I deleted my old CMA (official version) re downloaded the latest version, and installed it.
Then I downloaded the Open CMA 5 zip file from wololo’s blog and unzipped it.
I copied all of those files into my program files/Sony/Content Manager Assistant where the real one is located
Then I ran the “Run.bat” (batch file) and a black window came up with some codes, I hit any key to continue when it was done.
After that I went to run “setdll” and for a very brief second another black window (like before) came up and immediately closes it self.And that is where I am. I have no idea if it was installed correctly or not, and if it was how do I use it? Also if not, what did I do wrong? (the instructions are brief and slightly vague)
Thank you (I live in USA) if that matters…

Open CMA 5 did not work for me on GC 1.81 of coarse. But i was able to use the connect to Open CMA for 1.81 on the PC and then run CMA on vita in backround then unplug and plug usb into PS3 then resume CMA trick to transfer UNO game and Playstation AllStars to my Vita on 1.81 without any fuss from PSN, the PS3 was indeed connected to the net too cuz it would not work if it wasnt connected. Does anyone have any explanation of why this still works?
-
I did everything on the directions but how do you make sure you have openCMA?

ATTENTION-Correct way for Installing OCMA
1-Download the RAR file
2-Extract all the files to the Original CMA folder.
3-Run “RUN” file
4-Run Setdll.exeNOTE-it wont work unless you copy all the extracted files to the Original CMA’s Folder

“ATTENTION-Correct way for Installing OCMA

4-Run Setdll.exe”Doesn’t work. I used what I had previously with 2.02. Extracted the .rar into the same folder. Opened Run.bat. Then opened Setdll.exe. Doesn’t work.
When opening the .bat file it seems that some files overwrite others, but there are a lot that say that they won’t overwrite certain files. Or access denied, 0 files copied.

Thanks brother! Love your work.

Open CMA 5, after a few months of using it, just stopped owrking last night, and I was trying to copy Uno back over to my Vita from my PC, too… wtf
-
So, what is this good for, save for being able to use CMA offline? Will this let me transfer games from one account to another, or is that still impossible?
-
if you’re on official firmware it is just basically good for being able to transfer while not being connected to the internet
if on some sort of psp exploit it also is good for transferring blacklisted stuff.. but yeah, only stuff that’s under the same account
