Still waiting for the PSM license approval? – You might not get it in time…
In the past weeks we have told you that it would be a good idea to get yourself approved for Playstation Mobile, and its publishing programm.
After Sony has massively reduced to number of approved people for their publisher license, they have now completely stopped approving new publishers.
As you can see on the following playstation website, Sony states that the final day for submitting new PSM applications will be the 31st May 2015, which is less than a week (as of now).
This has been known since a few weeks. New additional information has been added, which now states that Sony is not going to approve any more publishers for the PSM program.
Since getting a PSM publisher license doesn’t seem to be a definite necessity anymore, this should not prevent you from using Yifan Lu’s upcoming PSM hack.




Hi The Z,
What’s about the Demo to start? Is still needed?
According to Yifan Lu, the only thing you need is the PSM Dev Assistant on your PSVita.
The demo was never needed. That was just to make sure hit had everything set up correctly. You can’t run the demos without the publisher licence, so no you don’t need them.
Perfect,thanks a lot
Yeah, I luckily got my licence within the last 24 hours and launched a demo. Even though it’s not that much of a necessity now, who knows. Maybe having it will allow better privileges later on.
Maybe faster or more easy but not better.
Hate to post this link, but the approval period is over. no one else is going to get their license https://en-support.psm.playstation.net/app/answers/detail/a_id/345
Hm, yeah, that’s pretty much what we’re saying in the article
English motherf#cker, do you speak it
Sony is not fair.still a week to go but they stopped right now before 31
Totally not fair right?!
and your true reason for getting a PSM licence is….??
For playing PSM game demo on my vita 😀
I want jailbreak is the ps4 is + important!!!!!
I want Windows OS on PS 4… Then there is reason to buy it! 😀
I believe there where a few people approved today. Can anyone confirm?
I applied this very morning. So this stopped just about a phew hours ago.
SONY already said that no one else will be approved!
No ,they said no to new PSM Publisher License application.
but old application are being reviewed.
Can you not read? It clearly stated that the application process has ended. This includes all OLD and NEW applications. It takes days to publish an app, for legitimate devs, there is no use applying or receiving the license at this point.
Maybe so but still some people got their license even today, you even get to reapply if there was a problem with the address”that happened to me”.
Approved but can get my license as I only have a PSTV!!
Glad it isn’t needed anymore because I have been to the point of needing to generate a key since the start of this mad grab. Never did get approved… Atleast I didn’t get a list of reasons why I couldn’t :->
What should I do if I was approved but had my PSN account banned? I have the PSM Dev Assistant on my 3.50 VIta.
Also, will it be possible to change make a new PSN account and be able to use the PSM hack too? I’m still interested in purchasing games from the PS Store.
be fast, make your other account and get the psm dev assistant as fast as you can
I think mine was approved after they asked me to send them my game title and in game screenshot,but alas…rejected because I provide wrong postcode. I apply back with corrected postcode on friday.but that’s a holiday. And they stop approving begin monday? What the F***
Hello. My vita is on 3.18 but i haven’t licence for psm… I haven’t ps3 so do you think i must update my vita for download assistant manager app? I will loose my exploit game but i think a vita hack is more important but i will loose the package installer too… So what is the best solution for me?
Buy a cheap PS TV, update it to latest firmware and activate it on the same account your Vita is on, then you can download the Assistant on that, back it up to QCMA and put it on your 3.18 Vita 🙂
Unfortunately it would appear your best option is to update and install the app. Just curious, does anyone know why exactly you can’t just use the Package Installer trick on 3.18 to install the PSM Dev Assistant?
I read somewhere that, thaks to the PKG installer, you can install the PSM SDK without updating. maybe do some research.
I was approved early this morning after a two week wait. I am going to run a demo on my 3.18 vita and 3.51 vita just to be safe. Just in time!
I got approved weeks ago, so I play the waiting game, and for kicks and giggles I started to develop a little app.
What type of app?
The Z do you really need a ps3? I read in a comment b4 that you need one. Lmk
Ohh so that’s what psm dev looks like,.. I kinda wondering why some are asking how to install psm dev app without updating.. I downloaded psm through their website from my vita..
Ill sell my license for $4,995 usd if anyones interested
OMG! Lol you can buy 5 ps4s with that money
11 by my calculations. .. But ill cut ya a deal. Ill sell you 6 for 4300.
shod i update my PSM Dev Assistant on PSVita to 2.0 or stay on 1.5?
Annoyingly I can’t redownload PSM from my ps3 and transfer it. Looks like I’ll have to update to 3.51.
Just to clarify, if I update can I redownload the dev assistant? I originally had it 2 years ago on my vita.
Does anyone have experiences with downloading PSM manager in an unsupported region? I don’t want to update and end up with nothink.
So I finally got my licence but I decided to update to 3.51 because of 3 reasons
1.) A f**kton of PS+ shizz that’s been building up
2.) In the end, I can just revert back to an old backup of the vita I made ages ago
3.) Yes, the themes got to me. [But senpai, they were so tasteful].
I’m basically playing the ‘All In’ manoeuvre and risking it all on 3.51 (Well sorta_
I may be wrong, but I think restoring a backup doesn’t let you to go back to an older firmware. So basically there is no turning back.
Since I never had a PSP, I gotta admit that the ePSP hack was more than I ever dreamed, yet, being unable to connect to the PSN is quite frustrating (even though I’m not a pS+ user)
I’m really glad that I applied back in 2012 On a whim. I never ended up doing anything, but I did it back when people had made remote play stuff for the PC using the dev assisstant and I wanted to try it out. I look forward to seeing what Yifan Lu does with this for the hacking scene.
Did Yifan Lu said it directly that there is would be hack (or something similar)?
pitydafool, an old backup will NOT restore your old firmware
Actually ‘dragng8’, it does. I made this backup awhile back and what I did was completely reset the vita, hooked up CMA and imported the backup. Then all I had to do then was load the exploit and jobs a good one.
And for those who believe that I am still incorrect, then I will host some images on imgur should you want them.
Proove your downgrade.
Please.
Wow… all the work from Yufi-hacker &co. about reading and writing the NAND was in vain after all… you’ve discovered what nobody could achieve until today o.o…
Do you really think if it were that simple won’t everybody be doing it already?
Proove it with a vidéo and not picture, we all want to see what and how you ‘ve done it … if ever it’s true…
Very well. Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxu_3X09OIs
Now will you stop with the accusations of me lying.
Well, he wasn’t lying after all. I think he deserves an apology.
Yh I apologise for accusing you (if I did anything). At least now we know it’s possible
uhm did you check your link? it’s a youtube link to “Average Day on DFS [EARRAEP COLLAB 4 Entry]”
this isn’t proof for your downgrade
Now everyone know who you are.
@EarthwormJim , sorry if I have the same name, but it’s mine on /talk 😉
BTW, where is your proof PityDaFool ??? I’m not the only one who is wainting …
*waiting*
*waiting for proof*
LOL @ people still waiting for proof. Idiots got trolled so hard.
why idiots ? who are you to judge us ? think you’re the idiots to found this stupid video funny , no ?
Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M12pDUrQdcs
this is an apil fools ……
I don’t think that’s an April Fools joke at all.
I think Z is lying to us, because he doesn’t want to share his downgrade hack. >.<
I just think you’re a little *** ordi, did you read the descritpion fo the vid?
Yes, I read it… so what’s your point?
You can clearly see in the Video that a downgrade is possible, but he simply never shared the downgrader with us. I guess The Z is a hack hoarder. >.<
well explain how he upgraded his PSV -1000 with firmware 3.50 to PSV-2000 lower firmware….
Qual o e-mail que devo enviar o print? Ou por qual local faço isso? Desde já, grato pela atenção.
ja tenho um psvita 3.30 com ape scape rodando homebrew, ps1… agora comprei um psvita branco 3.51 para esse novo exploit, já instalei o Psm Dev.
Você fez esse processo do screenshot da tela? Caso sim, saberia me informar o e-mail ou o processo para enviar para a $ony?
Grato pela atenção!
Cara, a sony, nao esta mais dando licença para ninguem. para quem nao tem basta instalar o psm dev em seu vita e aguardar yifan. antes precisava dessa licença, mas agora segunda yifan nao precisa mais. so precisa que seja instalado o psm dev.
Hum… Beleza então. Pode ajudar como fazer a instalação? Estou na FW 3.18, terei de atualizar e perder a TN-V, certo?
Muito obrigado cara. Abs!
cara, no seu caso, vc tem nao precisa atualizar. vc pode instalar o psm dev e depois o pkg. olha nos posts antigos que esta explicando como instalar o psm para quem tem 3.18.
DO I NEED PSM DEV FOR UNITY LIKE THE SCREENSHOT TOO???
i was just thinking the same…
someone please reply
No word of Unity being needed as of yet. You only need the regular dev app. I would suggest getting both and backing them up though, just to be on the safe side.
Why are you impersonating EarthwormJim?
How to install PSM Dev Assistant in lower firmware vita? Im on 3.01
Just update to 3.51 and get it that way. Probably the easiest method
I ask because i dont wanna lose my exploit.
Follow the tutorial on /Talk
Sony excluding psm dev at 3, 2, 1.
Is there anyway to get the PSM development assistant installed on a vita with the 3.0.1 update without using a ps3? Please any help will be appropriated.
I only bot this PSM Dev for Unity stuff on my Vita. I can’t find anything else. Is this right?
No, there is another one. There is one for psm sdk and unity. I would get both, just to be safe.
uhm it’s the psm dev assistant that we need, psm dev for unitity isn’t needed right ?
Do i need to be approved? I´ve installed the dev app on vita is it enough?
Imposuble,Good luck only good luck!!
Psn is down again
do i need to update the app and runtime of psm ?
yes
No as long as you can run the puzzle demo ting it’s fine
how copy psm dev in psvita to pc?
im 3.51 and have psm dev.
using QCMA, but disconnect your pc and vita from the internet first.
i try, dont work with me.
Strange that’s how I did it, I’m on firmware 3.50 maybe that’s why? hope someone can confirm
I think sony patched in 3.51. i can transfer in ps3, but in pc no.
Just an independent thought, why doesn’t he just release the info about it now since it’s very unlikely for anyone to be getting a licence now since they’ve stopped accepting applications. Plus the fact that people who DON’T get a licence isn’t a problem any more.
they are still reviewing the one who applied before the closing date
The Zett can be a bit of an *** sometimes for little things.
Finally got accepted. But then I forgot my Vita is still on 3.18. Oh well.
It works on 3.18 just to the /talk forums and look under tutorials.. you will need a ps3 thought so if you don’t have one I would update your vita
PSM officially closed today on the 30th but I got accepted. Can I still use the those tutorials you were mentioning about?
