Reminder: register for PSM, time is running out and Sony has noticed the spike in subscriptions
Last week Yifan Lu advised Vita owners to register for PSM and warned that we should do it before June 2015.
It seems we have even less time. After Yifan Lu’s piece of advice, there was a spike of interest in PSM as explained in Wololo’s recent article, and seen in the picture below:
It was just wishful thinking that Sony wouldn’t notice this, it seems they did and i assure you they are not planning to stop shutdown. Here is the announcement Sony made:
As we have announced earlier, May 31, 2015 will be the final day to submit new PSM Applications. We are currently receiving a high volume of applications for the PSM Publisher License and the processing time may take longer than usual. We will review the applications sequentially, but please be noted that the review might not be completed by the due, May 31, 2015.
So if you think you still have time for registering, think again. Sony might just stop accepting applications from now on, so if you don’t want to miss this opportunity, it would be wise to register right now and see what it will bring to your dear Vita.
You can do the necessary steps even without updating. It needs either a PS3 or another 3.50/3.51 Vita/Playstation TV. Refer to this post for PS3 method. You need a CFW PS3 or an OFW PS3 with a known IDPS.
I used another 3.50 Vita on the same account to get PSM Dev App on my 3.18 Vita. To do it, first download the PSM Dev app on your 3.50/3.51, cancel the update which downloads at the same time, just download the main app, then copy it to your PC/PS3 and restore it on your 3.18 Vita. You will get an error about update if you try to run it. To avoid this, install the 1.14 patch pkg provided by Kankartje via package installer method and you are done. Sorry this is not a full tutorial, but feel free to ask questions about it.
Have fun, i believe this will lead to something big so you don’t want to miss it.

message from sony:
Thx for keeping us updated
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
I would like to know if I can do the process with a Vita on 3.51 or it needs to be 3.50?
IF it needs to be 3.50 then should I just get a help from a friend who has a PS3 or the PS3 has to have certain FW version?
Thanks in advance!
Good luck only Good luck!!
I were on 3.18 with all the stuff 😉
I have made the choice to update to 3.51 !
I have a problem : I have the dev assistant and I keep it to 1.2 just atfer the download but when I want to launch it, I must update !!
I need explications for the 3.51 firmware, can I find a tuto for newbies or a video ? Thank in advance 😉
I made an error, my Ps Suite Dev is on 1.00 .
If I update, it becomes a 2.00 .
I am complety lost …
Great, why wasn’t the cancel update info given when the call to install and apply for psm was given? Now it has 1.15 installed.
Honestly I think Reprep made that part up. Nothing from YifanLu says you need to prevent the Vita client from updating. “If you manage to run the Demo, you don’t have to worry” is basically what he told me
Nope i didn’t make it up. 1.15 update doesn’t work on 3.18 Vita, so if you do what i say, you will have the 1.14 update which works on your 3.18 Vita.
If you are on a recent firmware Vita, just install the PSM Dev app and do whatever you want, no need for extra steps.
BTW the post i linked for the 1.14 update patch clearly explains the situation. http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?p=387613#p387613
So, can I update my Vita to 3.51? I’m in FW 3.50.
Still waiting approval from Sony…
if you have the ape escare exploit, dont update. you can still use this on 3.50. you do not need psn access, just wifi access.
I have a question before I decide to update or not: Is it possible and probable that we get emulators through this? I don’t want to lose NES, Sega, etc., but it would be awesome to have a good N64 emulator.
(I don’t have a PS3 or 2nd Vita, so I don’t think I can have both :/)
I cannot say anything concrete at the moment. It is your choice, the risk is yours. I would advise to read the original blog post of Yifan Lu.
Yeah, I did when I first read about it, but it doesn’t seem much different than the post here. I’m tempted to update because I hardly use TN-V or my vita at all… (It’s awesome, I just don’t have a lot of time.) However, if it’s not possible to get more powerful emulators, I don’t want to update.
I’ll wait a few days just in case someone finds a way to download it with only one 3.18 vita.
It looks like PSM exploit allows execution of a native Vita code outside of PSM’s walled garden, so the performance should be on par with Vita games in theory. However, I highly doubt we’ll see (m)any native homebrew come out of this because the target audience is very limited in numbers (how many applications did Sony receive? 3000-5000? How many of those will be approved? 300-500?) and limited in duration (unless Yifan has a way to circumvent license expiration).
There’s simply not many people to develop for, I’m afraid. Moreover, unless another ‘entry point’ is found (webkit?), already developed homebrew will be rendered useless over time.
some very good points here. Yifan Lu has an answer for some of these concerns, but maybe not all of them. We’ll see how it pans out 🙂
you do know that there are a lot more than 3000-5000 users of the psm dev app right? people that have been using this can renew their license without having to wait for approval. that’s how i managed o get my license key already.
I was rejected this morning, with Sony saying that I needed to show a screenshot of an application ready to be published to the store. How would I have an app ready if I can’t even debug without an application key?! Idiots.
You’d obviously be developing the app on your pc. You don’t need a publisher key to compile your apps, just to run them on the vita.
When did you apply for it?
“Thank you for applying for a PSM Publisher License.
We are currently receiving a high volume of applications for PSM Publisher License and the processing time may take longer than usual.
If you are waiting for a PSM Publiser License and your PSM Application is almost ready to submit, please send us a screen shot of your PSM Application developed with the PSM SDK. We will review it and put a higher priority on processing your PSM Publiser License application.
Kind regards,”
It’s happening ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
They ask for a screenshot so I sent them this website and how we are all trying to pirate, they said they will research some more.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Lmao
that is funny. XD
you’re an idiot. this won’t allow pirating..
Unfortunately this came at the worst possible time. I was 600 miles away when this was first announced and came home a couple days ago to a shattered lcd. I ordered a new screen but that won’t matter now….
Sony said they needed more information, I said contact the Z he’s the vita pirate that can answer all your questions.
here’s hoping….
registered and confirmed this morning, downloaded the bits and bobs… running vita 3.51. so guess its a wait and see on how it all pans out.
do i only need the dev app? must i have a sdk demo on it? i am developer since 2012 but i dont know if i need to download sdk and demo again?
Good thing I registered a couple months ago because I actually wanted to develop games!
hi man, send me your account in psn, i can use for install psm in my psvita.
I got all the steps, but I’m missing the run a demo on your vita part, it says I’m missing the publisher key, is running a demo on the vita needed?
YES
Im searching dev assistant update 1.12 pkg for my FW3.01 Vita, please help 🙂
Did anyone get confirmed after May 15, when they started asking for screenshots? I mean WITHOUT an actual screenshot 😉
Nope, i did it the day the article originally got posted here, but I haven’t received any confirmation yet.
got an error C0-11274-5 when trying to copy the dev assistant to my 3.18 after i downloaded it in my vita 3.15 (samePSN account) 🙁
didnt updated it in 3.51, just downloaded the dev assistant and paused the update as stated in the blog
If you haven’t got your license approved follow this tutorial http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=42826
Thanks I followed the tutorial hope it workes
thank you
just SDK1.21 or all?
obviously like your web site but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the reality however I’ll surely come again again.
