You Should Register for PSM says Yifan Lu
You probably know Yifan Lu from his work on Vita/3DS/Amazon Kindle and various devices. He says you should register for Playstation Mobile, if I were you I would do what he says.
Sony declared PSM is shutting down about 2 months ago. The shutdown takes place in steps, final date for registration is May 31, 2015.
As the registration is free, you have nothing to lose for registering before this date. Also don’t forget to setup your Vita. Yifan Lu says it would be wise for a Vita owner to register and run a sample demo even if he/she isn’t a developer. Well, I follow Yifan Lu’s work from Kindle days and value his opinions so I can advise you to do the same.
I don’t want to speculate about it so I will leave it to you what you might regret about if you don’t register [Note from wololo: oh, oh, let me do the speculation, please! Here it goes: It’s pretty obvious to me that there’s something big coming up from a hacking perspective, and people who don’t follow the steps below might regret it for a long time].
Here are the steps you should do, quoted from Yifan Lu’s blog.
What you should do before June 2015:
- Sign in to the PSM DevPortal with your PSN account
- Click the button to “Apply for PSM Publisher License" and follow the directions
- After you get approved, download SDK 1.21.02 (NOT SDK 2.00.00 or Unity for PSM)
- Follow the directions to get the dev assistant for your Vita
- Once everything is installed, play with a demo! For example, BallMazeDemo is pretty fun. Before the demo will run though, you have to generate an app key. Refer to PSM’s documentations for that.
Update: notice the “after you get approved” bit. To get approved for a PSM publisher license, you need to go to to the PSM Dev portal, and click on the “Apply for PSM Publisher license”. You will be asked to provide full information, including an address and a phone number. Do not do anything on your PS Vita (including updating it) before you have received this approval. You won’t be able to even run a PSM game prior to this approval.

Knowing Yifan an how he is about the piracy, I’m guessing this could lead to memory read, decryption, etc, or just a way to run unsigned code, so piracy will not be possible, at least not in the beginning. but if it needs you to run a game demo that would be the key, so inserting the same key of that demo on a different unsingned app will allow you to run it on your vita, so maybe a homebrew channel is emerging on the psvita scene, or maybe just another useless hack as the video out. anyway, will wait to see, but don’t expect so much guys, remember hope is the last thing you lose, but in the end you lose it.
Don’t fret people, it’s gonna be daijoubu.

though i arleady have mine
took me 8 days 😀 LOL
3 years and still nothing huh
Made a USA account and applied for PSM, let’s see if that works, it would be a shame to see Sony blocking the signups after the “announcement” though this is hardly an announcement xD
3 years and still no native hack?
Is vita even still relevant?
Just get the jxd s7800B for emulation

nevermind. i foun it. thanks for the reply, good sir. i’m from the philippines. so i didn’t know that.
How u fiixx can u send u’r postcode please
hey guys follow this tutorial if you are having trouble running the PSM demos.
1. Close PlayStation Sutie Studio
2. Run (Administrator) command line “cmd” and use this command:
setx MSBUILDENABLEALLPROPERTYFUNCTIONS 1
3. Open PlayStation Suite Studio again.
cheers!
This actually works, I’ve also had to do it before PSM Studio worked properly.
One of the last recommendations was to not to update to a newer firmware if we were on 3.18 or lower, but some time has passed and there are no any news yet for firmware 3.18 (I know devs work is hard), then, would you “Devs” advice to update to 3.50 to have the possibility of any native hacks on 3.5?, I like the way to play PSone en PSP games on 3.18 using TN-V(X), at the end, I know is our own risk, but does it worth?
Do not tell as other: buy a second Vita, since collecting Vita is not a cheap hobby, I have one I use One, not like The Z that has one vita for every firmware released (must be proud of his collection).
Hmm…If I try and do this with my PSTV, I’ll have to update first. If I update, will that mean I am locked out of the whitelist proxy trick?
Still haven’t gotten my key, hopefully soon
Anyways here’s hoping to emulators and homebrew on the vita proper! I don’t get the piracy wants, the vita memory cards are too expensive to truly pirate and make it cost effective lol
If piracy was possible though, you wouldn’t need a big memory card. Just one big enough to try one game at a time. The rest could be backed up to your computer.
Hopefully we’ll be able to get some kick-*** homebrew and such though. I’d love a Vita equivalent to the old PSP 1000’s ctf themes plugin. The possibilities it opened up were awesome. IR Shell was phenomenal too.
One day the web kit will lead to anything but nobody will be able to still use it 😀
i applied on my 8th at 130 pm and got approved may 13th at 2 am. now i wait 🙂
I get stuck on email verification step. I don’t get anything in my email. Guess Sony are on it
