PSM+ Beta has started. How it will work
Hey people. I finally found the time to put in place the files sent to me by Major_Tom, Mr.Gas, and Yifanlu for PSM+.
What is PSM+?
PSM+ allows you to access PSM and PSM Unity (coming soon) without a license from Sony. This means you can develop and test with the PSM SDK and PSM for Unity without a publisher license–even after Sony shuts down developer access. Additionally, it allows for hacks such as Rejuvenate to work on any device with PSM DevAssistant installed for unrestricted native homebrew.
You must be running firmware 3.51 or lower and have PSM DevAssistant installed on your PS Vita. We are currently working on support for PSM Unity.
Where do I access PSM+?
As of now, the PSM+ functionality can be accessed only on a “by invite” basis. This is to limit the amount of traffic, and fix potential bugs before this goes public. Long story short, the release is working a bit like our traditional Ninja releases.
If things look normal, I will progressively open access to more and more people, until the page becomes “public”.
I need to emphasize, however, that to access the PSM+ pages, you will need a /talk account, even after the beta is over. This is not a lame attempt at getting more members on our forums, but a security measure: the PSM+ system is slightly intense on the CPU, so we need to have some reasonable way to control who accesses it, how often, etc.
PSM+ works by sending you some files by email, and letting you download other files directly to your computer. The email is sent to the email address you registered at wololo.net, but you need to open the email on your PS Vita. If you use a different email address for your wololo.net/talk account and on your Vita, you can simply forward the email to your vita account.
Because of how DRMs work with PSM, you will unfortunately need to use PSM+ every day (or at least, every day you want to use rejuvenate) to get a fresh license. Did I mention this was CPU intensive? Maybe one day we’ll find a way against this limitation, but for now this will be needed.
How do I know if I’m in the beta?
You should see a message “PSM+ Closed Beta” at the top of every single page of /talk. Again, remember that I will keep adding new members to the beta regularly, until we finally open PSM+ to everyone.
pls add me 😀 nick is Godogs
Great news, i was wating for this!
Soon we will have tons of homebrews storming in!
Please me agregan!!!!!estoy en3.51 y no tengo el psm
Pls add me
Are there any limitations to who can see the beta message? I don’t see iit and I have no clue how to enter the beta without it.
Yes it’s called a ninja release. It will release in waves to users. Just like with game releases
i cant belivet why i have to register agin ?
hmm,
my emailadress recently got deleted by the service stopping from nokia.
so what i need now is a way to host and acces that email adsress locally (spoofed)
and send psm+ and EML from the generators to it in
sutch a way i can open it from my psvita withe email app.
and install the pkg’s.
any clues for me ?
wololo, could I donate my cpu power to help get this out to more people quicker? I’m already running the exploit with my dev license but would lover to help out.
Just send me an email or PM me in /talk garrettcorn. Thanks
It’s finally here.
You no I have been reading about this now for sometime and I am glad to see some kind of development behind the vita. Obviously I can imagine this has taken countless hours to make and utilise it and for that I for one am grateful.
As soon as I had seen an update on my vita I came straight here to see if it would patch it and of course it did so I am glad I avoided that.
I just wish Sony would leave the vita alone now it’s clear there not doing more to it or trying to give any life to it so why not just let it die already and let people use there hardware the way they want to.
I hope that there will be some active people who will contribute to the home brew side of things and I have always wanted to learn how to make things so u think now is the perfect time for me to get my head around alot of things and try.
Thanks again to all involved and I can’t wait to test it out.
Let me guess… your maternal speech it’s not english and you make that comentary with the help of internet.
if you speak spanish and need help just send a PM
-_-
I think you will find my native language is English.
I made that post to say thanks to all of those who are involved within making this.
Can’t someone even say 5ha ks for the hard work people put in to something like this without someone like yourself think it’s alright to reply and say something like that?
It was not being nasty, or horrible to the people behind it in anyway so u don’t see the need for your response.
Also what on earth made you think I am Spanish? I live in the UK not that I should have to say where about I am in the world but no I am British and speak English quite well thank you.
Good day.
Thanks*
Sorry I was replying in my phone and made a typo.
Sorry men I am not try to make you fell that way I’m just trying to help to new people and because wololo.net have a lots of spanish readers I though may be you are one, sorry for the misundertanding and don’t be mad about it.
Besides I’m really greatefull of the work in wololo.net, I follow this page about for five years now so don’t need to mention it, I really apreciate the efforts of the people behind it.
Goood job !!!!!!
I have psm dev app without a publicer license but the app it has an update. I am on 3.51. Can I install the update or remain on it’s current version ? I downloaded from psn before the new firmware cames out. What can I do ? Please someone reply fast.Also I do not see the PSM+ Beta on /talk forums although I am already a Member.
Thank you
>the app it has an update. I am on 3.51. Can I install the update or remain on it’s current version ?
It should be safe to update PSM. From what I know, Rejuvenate supports multiple PSM versions, including the latest: 1.15. So you should be fine regardless.
>Also I do not see the PSM+ Beta on /talk forums although I am already a Member.
More important members will receive it first. The regular members like you and me will get it in the coming days.
Thank you so much !!!!
🙁 bad news:

Thank you for using the PlayStation®Mobile Developer Program. Your application to the Publisher License has not been accepted for the following reason. Please check the reason and apply again.
Reason :
We have stopped processing applications for a PSM Publisher License as we no longer accept submission of new PSM Applications.
Please sign in to the PSM Dev Portal for the details.

i’m currently in 3.01 and have had psm devkit on it but it won’t run. i’ve researched and i might need to update to at least 3.18 to be able to run pkg installer of psm devkit update 1.14 (as the update 1.12 isn’t existing).
$ony is such a hassle … [sigh]
Is this whole publisher license stuff working locally? What does this “call home” limitation mean? > connecting to your SDK instance? I mean does it connect to Sony servers at some point?
The PSM apps USED TO have to connect to Sony’s servers in order to verify that you have a publisher’s license. The PSM+ is intended to make this connection unnecessary, since Sony has officially ended registration for this license. Instead, PSM+ will connect to a new server, which will keep authentication going, even for those without publisher licenses.
Hoping to be placed into the closed beta!

This is good. No need for everyone to download it until it is perfected.
Almost the newest member in /talk 🙂
Thx for releasing such awesome stuff.
So instead of hosting the psm+ on your host, it could be useful to disclose the code and tools used, so everyone can run a local server for it, instead of using this website everyday.
very nice that this hack has a closed source part, which makes it harder for sony to get behind it 🙂
One question from my side:
how do you select the closed beta testers? activity? because i was never a big writer, but i read much on wololo. would be uncool if i dont have a chance, just because i am inactive 🙁
Considering that I’m currently sc*** around with a GCC 5.1.0 arm-none-eabi+vita-toolchain combo (devkitpro is *** from my perspective) to attempt something nuts off and on (like, say, an SDL2 port? :3 ), I’ll just post here that I’m probably a good candidate.
My username is the same as on the forum, except that my finger slipped on the ‘y’. Ahaha.
Some people can’t read i just said i used my phone to buy games on psn an send it straight to my vita no updating.i am on 3.51 like most people what so hard to understand.
Wololo I need PSM+ talk id: bubbles
Thank wololo
Push
psvita Fw3.35.PSM instaled!
Please anyone help me! I have Vita 3.51 with PSM Dev & PSM Dev Unity. I’m registered on sony’s dev portal, but not having appoved publisher license. I try BallMaze demo with keyring (shared for me by any very good man), but i have error on stady deploying application to device: (-2138107559), 0x808F1159 Installing App Key failed/ Unknown Error Message.
Anybody now’s how fix this?!
This is not the right place! Go ask into forums.
Not yet on the beta but I’ll wait. Gives me time to finish working on my Mac and to learn cpp
I haven’t installed/downloaded psm yet, but I have FW 3.18 could I use package installer to install it if someone have it as a .pkg?
Pleas invite meeee :O
xD
PLZ invite meee 😀
I confirm it works nicely!
(just be patient and, while being logged in, check daily the presence of the green ninja banner in /talk forum in order to access the two consecutive psm+ beta web pages. you will need one account and one mailbox per compatible device you have)
Big congrats to you, skilled hackers! All sony servers are now ignored with this new homebrew launching method!
I wrote down here step by step what I did to make it work within a fresh environment :
psvita : fw 3.51, psm dev assistant 1.15 (installed through ps3+charles proxy+qmca trick when 3.5.2 was out)
pc : recent Asus pc with windows 8.1 pre-installed on it
– installed none of the pre-requisites (windows 8.1 seems to have all of them already)
– successfully obtained both eml (pre calculated cert and keys) and zip (seed+keys) from psm+ beta pages
(used mozilla thunderbird to obtain eml files, and removed manually extra some bad empty lines inside)
– vita connected to a router not connected to internet but connected to pc
– vita mail app getting eml files from babypopserver drop directory, running on pc (can see attached images inside)
– in first mail, clicked attachment 1, didn’t reply ok to ‘can’t display’, closed email app immediately
– repeated that for attachments 2,3,4,5
– launched setup.bat in rejuvenate directory (installs driver)
– stopped the bat execution when it said ‘you don’t have .p12 etc’
– launched support\run_publisher_utility.bat and selected the key management tab
– successfully imported device seed (device line appears with seed symbol)
– successfully imported app key ring (key symbol appears in device line)
– successfully imported publisher key (replied No to question ‘do you want to check…’)
– launched setup.bat in rejuvenate directory again (says copied keys from publishing utility)
– replied 1.15 when setup.bat asks for psm dev assistant version
– successfully created the two signed vitadefiler.* files in rejuvenate directories
– deleted PSM_SDK_1.21.02.exe there
– vita connected to a router not connected to internet but connected to pc
– vita mail app getting eml files from babypopserver drop directory, running on pc
– in second mail (daily one), clicked attachment 1, didn’t reply ok to ‘can’t display’, closed email app immediately
– repeated that for attachments 2
– turned ps vita into airplane mode
– launched psm dev assistant 1.15
(success! The keys put in cache by daily mail work! It doesn’t ask for it over network)
– drag n drop of hello_world.elf on top of run_homebrew.bat
– bat crashed immediately (when that happens just launch a previously installed defiler, or just reboot -maybe-)
– retried and bat worked but said VM Death (it’s normal since it wants at least wifi activated)
– deactivated airplane mode (but wifi connects to a router not connected to global internet but to the pc only)
– hello_world.elf homebrew worked! (will have to repeat obtaining the second daily mail each day if need to re-run it)
(will try later with my vita fw 3.18 and da114, by creating another /talk account, but i’m pretty sure it will work)
Please, add me on beta, my ID: Lderground
So, is this for testing to see how it works on various PS Vita’s or is it more of a developers-only thing for now?
That CPU part sounds a bit dangerous…
Oh well, guess I will just wait for PSM+ Mk II.
Everyone quit asking for early Beta! Like the Ninja release your turn will come soon. Just have a little patience. You haven’t been “forgotten” it’s just not your turn yet ffs.
I LOVE where this is going 😀
still waiting for my psm+ invitation…
im not seeing it in !talk !
am i the only one ?
Is there a sign up list for talk members or are the emails sent randomly i signed up a few days ago an got the unity app so now im trying to figure out what i need to do from there
Ahhh… My license got expired… Good that we have Psm+ 😛 if I get into the beta tho.
They are only allowing a few people for stress testing. Reading would have helped understand WHY you aren’t in the Beta yet. Because they don’t need a million people for stress testing. If the servers hold this will be a public service for EVERYONE. Just wait and be patient. I’m not included in the beta either at this point.
As an end user, i say, Godspeed .
can u help me guys? i use the CMA and the dev unity file show only 15kb in my vita, then i follow the step.. all goes smoothly until hello from mr.gas app apeared but it says cannot install the app..
my fw 3.51, and i use shinobido 2 as updated game..
