    I don’t know if posting this as an article will actually help people or make sony “more” sceptic.

    This has become the norm and Sony is looking VERY closely now. If they find it online they will deny you and trust me they are looking for your game online!!!!! You have to create something of your own. If you submit a screenshot you found on the web IT WILL GET REJECTED!!!

    They stopped reviewing applications at least a week ago!
    Do you think idiots are working at Sony and they don’t know what’s going on?

    wololo, ***! Don’t put this on the front page! Now this will have even slimmer chance of working! Btw, I tried this 3 days ago and PS staff asked me to provide multiple screenshots (not only a single loading screen)…

    Lol, Good Luck You’ll get Rejected of course, Sony Aren’t That Stupid -_- Try to make another Hack instead of bringing some more trouble with PSM.

    Or you could do what i did and tell them your kid is really interested in seeing how the ball maze demo plays on the vita. They approved me immediately as a special case lol.

    Don’t you realize sony workers who we’re assigned to monitor this website and activities get tweets whenever there’s a sony related exploit?

    I wonder, has anyone submitted a screen shot of Wagic yet?

    When I got my first vita (3g model) I signed up for this when the desktop app was made. Hopefully after this hack we wont need it anymore because my license runs out late this year.

    Why do we need a license? Cant we download the PSM app off the bat?

    • Ikker
      May 22, 2015 at 8:57 pm

      You need a license to run an app on the SDK on pc. Also, the PSM Dev Assistant app on Vita needs to connect to Sony servers every 24hrs.

    I had done this to get mine approved, but it doesn’t always work. I had mentioned this method to a friend and he was rejected for using someone elses IP.

    It’s not guaranteed to work even if you take all precautions

    Well, I have a work in progress game. But that’s because I already have my license and I actually wanted to make games with it.

    After this front page “article” people will probably be required to send video captures of their games running. Great job.

    May 22, 2015 at 11:46 pm

    This method no longer works since Sony is cracking down on Applicants. The only hope you have right now is to develop your own test game and take a few screenshots of it. Best of luck to all of you.

    Screw it this would be a big deal 10 years ago ,its pointless now that ps now is coming out stream ps4/ps3/ps2/psp/psx games for an ultra super low price of 189.99 a year USD with no need for an overpriced vita memory card!?! That beats emulation of retro consoles anyday plus you have your phone is emulation is what you want..idk thats my 2 cents, wololo or the devs on this site go ahead and delete my post like you always do all im trying to do is get people to see the light and pointlessness of these hacks on a device that’s already great in every way.

      You are incredibly annoying. Go hang out on the Sony forums, you don’t belong here.

    • Rolenzo
      May 23, 2015 at 12:47 am

      Super low 189.99 😮

      PS now is [***] expensive. The subscription service is good and seems to be growing but imho, not worth it as of yet.

      I really hate magic: the gathering, I find the cards themselves annoying, but I love homebrew like Wagic, SNES, GBA emulators.

      I have a ps3 that I modded just for the phenomenal SNES emulator.

    I had a license back in 2013 when they were first offered for free, is that still active or do I need to try to get a new one? The site isn’t working right now so I can’t log in to find out.

    I just sent playstation this web page and said this was my game. Also said I wanted approval as soon as possible so I could steal games later. Said just call me the Z. They said they will get back in touch with me after they talk to their lawyers.

      LoL. Not helping at all… How about send them some blackmails or DDoS psm… threaten them so they’ll approve all publisher lics. XD

    • lolzoar
      May 23, 2015 at 1:56 pm

      Ah so you’ve put the blame on The Z huh? Lol yeah they’ll definitely believe you…especially because The Z got his licence ages ago.

    Or, you know, people could actually make a game. PSM Studio is fun to mess around with and pretty easy to use, seeing as it’s almost a clone of XNA. Making a simple game for this purpose is a little more honest than a photoshop job and actually helps people develop game dev and programming skills.

    Here’s a short, in depth tutorial that really helps introduce PSM Studio and Object Oriented Programming:

      This is awesome, thanks! Plan on checking out PSM in a few weeks, after my uni exams are over. For all we know, this hack Yifan has, might just be a way to run PSM games/apps you’ve developed on other consoles without them being attached to your account, or uploaded on the PSN store.

      In that case, we already have a SDK, which Yifan has hinted at multiple times since he first wrote that everyone should join PSM. His new post about making a Vita SDK makes me hope that this hack might actually be native, rather than using the PSM SDK, but we wont know till he releases more information, in June.

    You have to up the standard now. Make a video of your computer with PsmStudio running the game in PSM Emulator. 🙂

    So the 31st is when publisher applications aren’t accepted anymore…does this go for submitting PSM programs too?

    • Estel
      May 23, 2015 at 1:38 pm

      Did you use any of the methods to ‘push’ Sony (email or screenshots)? Or you just waited? I applied on the 14th and I’m losing hope I’ll get approved.

  37. dreassic
    May 23, 2015 at 11:39 am

    Been 15 days since I applied and the status on the website is still at “Your application for a PSM Publisher License is being reviewed. Please wait.” Looks like it ain’t happening.

    Yes guys do it quick. This is might be the only time when they finally release this for us to steal and pirate vita games, oh glorious day, finally!!

    • Estel
      May 23, 2015 at 2:55 pm

      Lol, get out! I don’t care one lick about pirating Vita games or piracy in general. I own all the games I play or want to play and I spend a lot of money on Vita games every year. I want the hack mainly for emulation of older consoles that are more powerful than the SNES emus the PSP got. My main interest is to one day have Saturn and Dreamcast emulators to have some of my favorite games on the go.
