Release: Open CMA 5 (Compatible with all 2.00+ firmwares)
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 hope they release the title of the new game soon… im still at 1.81 but im thinking of going 2.01.
This wont have any use unless they release the exploit..
I doubt it will be for a little while, to be honest. However, since you have 1.81; there’s really no reason to update.
Furthermore, it does have usage if you wish to remain on your Firmware and Sony decide to release another (for example those wishing to stay on 2.0)
buy mba then, is back
mba is on the blacklist for saved games. it will not boot up the exploit.
the link supplied is only updated with the r4.5 update for 1.0- 1.81 firmwares.
can you re upload the 5.0 link for 2.0+ firmware?
Refresh your browser.
Wait for a few minutes and try to reload the page. There is some heavy caching and it is possible you are seeing an old version of the download page
I’m waiting for the release too. I updated because of the browser update but I’ll just wait patiently for them to release it.
Can’t wait to play P3P on my Vita.
No Internet (tethering now), Staying at 1.81, Having a error(C1-2858-3) after uploading Modnation then that error just pop up, Guess its time to flow where the water leads.
These Developers never disappoint. 😀
rock on when i bought my vita it was at 2.00 so this helps out so much. i still can get over how sony is trying to lock down the vita file system. i mean just to add a wallpaper i have to use this program.
i dont know if im doing it right, my CMA wont open at all help please.
so…will there be linux suport?
Is it not possible to run it through Wine?
i heard it couldn’t be run through wine but i can try it
Thanks
oh this only for 2.00 & above..i thought we can get access to psn on 1.81 if this can be use..keep up the good work guys..
Thank god.
Cool!
This is what everybody need~~
I don’t believe Sony will release a software which is so bumbler and can’t transfer file when offline.
Waiting for eCFW for 2.01~~
NICE WORK!!
This is great news!! Thanks guys!!
Can you guys show this in a video its hard for me
if open cma can copy iso to ps vita and than also can play iso psp in ps vita without exploit game , i want it.
You still need an exploit game to do that.
i think we all want this. just wait until a full vita hack is released, or use the ecfw for now.
AWESOMEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANKS A LOT GUYS!!!!!
Thanks you guys. good work!!!
Try this later.. does it works on Windows XP?
Pls Put Uk Region ps vita
this psp Open Cma is for Jp Region
pls put Uk Region Ps vita
^^ yeah .. it’s only for Japan region, per the ppsp2-updatelist.xml file. I believe you may be able to use one of the other region’s .xml file from the previous version of OpenCMA.
and below continue and/or use >>my<< existing Open CMA 4.5 version.
If I just have a stock PS Vita with Sony 2.01 firmware, should I install this open cma? Or should I wait for custom firmware? Thank you.
only now lack the VHL to 2.0
How do i install PSP games? when i copy and extract the files to the CMA folder it says file corrupt file
i cant copy PSP iso, it said corrupt file for all
Make sure it’s all capitals, even the extension.
put the iso or cso in the save data folder for the exploited ecfw game. then transfer them. and like Jd8531 said. use all caps, like; XXXXXXXX.ISO or .CSO max chacters is 8. no more, no less or else it will not show up.
Thank the_Z for putting this up. Apparently VF was too busy(?)
please somebody make video tutorial i dont understand
Thank you for posting this. Im about to lose internet in 6 days and this will help with my PSVita and controlling my cotent on it. 🙂
What a coincidence, I’m going to lose my internet by the end of the month and was wondering how I was going to get my backup from the PC/PS3
release cf for ps vita 2.01
mba on psn is patched
Dear wololo, i have a vita with firmware 2.00. Plz tell me that can I transfer iso games that I download from the Internet into my vita. And if I can plz tell me how. I want to know everything before I install cma. And 2 more things. Is the menu like the OFW and do the ISOs go into the memory card or what. Plz reply plz.
you can not download the isos right to your vita. you will need the exploited pspemu game that is currently being worked on for ofw 2.0+ i know your pain, im still waiting for it too.
What about 1.81???
What about 1.81
No piracy allowed. Period. Read the forum rules before you post. I do not speak for the site but this webpage that Wololo has provided for you does not support piracy.
So just to make sure I have this straight, if I have this installed and can connect my Vita to my PC and transfer things while not connected to the internet, then I can use this WHILE connected to the internet without it sending anything at all or checking Sonys servers for anything right?
Apparently this version of OpenCMA does not allow transfering through wifi, only USB connections.
Can you wait at least a week cus money is low
noob here how do you set it up on the vita
Hi im kinda curious but is there even a minor possibility that we will have psvita isos? plz tell thank you.
Thank you i was wondering what took long.
This is silly no wifi transfer the update is pointless and pretty useless.
well i think its cuz if u want to use to wifi tranfer sony make u register the vita with the computer n people was saying they were having trouble running the wifi on cma to the vita on the 2.0 firmware. and u can jus use ftp to tranfer wireless if anything …
dont hope too high guys..i dun think the exploit will be released..while this delay continue sony maybe will patched 2.01 & produce new fw..at that time this exploit will be delayed again & again.
To everyone stay on your firmware that allows you to play homebrew.
Its dumb to update unless your a fiend for whatever sony may be offering with the update.
