Rejuvenate for Unity is right around the corner
PS Vita scene member SMOKE has been very active lately, and yesterday he announced that the long awaited port of Rejuvenate for the PSM Unity Assistant is coming soon.
Rejuvenate and Unity: The story so far
Rejuvenate is a series of tools that lets you run unsigned software (homebrew) on your PS Vita running firmware 3.51 or less. The one main issue with Rejuvenate so far is that it required the PSM Dev Assistant app to be installed on your PS Vita, but that app has been pulled from the PSN Store by Sony quite a while ago.
However Yifanlu, who is behind the Rejuvenate hack, announced that Rejuvenate was also compatible with the PSM Unity App, assuming people would port his exploit’s code to this second app. The PSM For unity application has the great benefit of having looser license constraints, meaning that with a few tricks you can install it on your PS Vita today, even though Sony has also removed that one from the PSN.
Status of the Rejuvenate port to Unity app
It had been known for a while that Netrix (whom you might know for his recent release of Doom Vita – on Rejuvenate of course) was working on the “Unity” port of Rejuvenate, and apparently SMOKE has been helping with that (although he mentions his involvement was minimal).
Just to be clear (In case news starts coming out) the #Rejuvenate for Unity port was by @MrNetrix I simply made/modified the setup scripts

It also seems that the port is pretty much complete. Yifanlu mentioned to me that a beta had been going on, and I guess this is not a secret anymore now that SMOKE announced the release is imminent.

In other words, people who are still on firmware 3.51 (but who did not manage to grab the “original” PSM Dev assistant app in time) will be able to enjoy Homebrew on their Vita very soon, by installing the PSM Unity Dev App.
More details on how to install an run Rejuvenate can be found on our Rejuvenate for PS Vita page. It will be updated with specific information for the Unity port, when that one is released. Stay tuned!
I have both dev assistants, but still, awesome!
Cool. Exciting time to be a Vita owner and a homebrew aficionado.
Ok so a fail of a question but I’m gonna ask it… what the lowest firmware with an exploit is this comparable woth? I’m on 2.02 uno and wondering what to upgrade to.
3.18 With the Tokyo Travel exploit. It has Package installer EPSP PSX and Rejuvenate.
Yeah, 3.18 is probably the best place to be right now. You can get TN-V 10 which will let you run an XMB. You can get to the Package Installer really easy. You can get a PS1 exploit game to run PS1 games with good sound emulation. It’s compatible with Rejuvenate. And if anyone still cares about it, it’s vulnerable to the WebKit Exploit.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I got the tekken 2 exploit so for the psx I’m good. I just have to pick up the Tokyo exploit and do the update
nice but i update my fw
So is there absolutely nothing to do for people on 3.52 (However, I still have the app). Also any news on the Puzzle Scape exploit?
Well probably they will find something via email app to re enable the psm dev app. But to be sure : don’t update any more! $ony WILL patch the eml trick and/or other exploits !
The data that checks the update is either stored in the vitas hidden memory or where it’s nand is, so right now there is no method or ways of getting it running at all but hopefully soon there might be a few tricks that could enable it by possibly doing something like using another lower FW system to fake the game ID and thus force it to run. i am pretty sure though that once dev for unity is released it wont be long until we can load a file into ram that would unblock every app/vita game on a ps tv.
After 9 years in development, hopefully it will be worth the wait
lolwut?
Seriously cant wait for the Homebrew Gate to bust open 😀 . Like I keep saying, I hope there will be a N64 and MAME type Emu down the road. Along with a Doom Port that can run the Brutal Doom/Wolfenstein Mods.
Here im hoping for a vita tv port since that way i can enjoy the homebrews with 2 controllers
There’s much more to it than just looser license requirements. There’s PSTV support, exploit launching support for Linux/Mac, with the possibility for Android/iOS support. There’s no USB required for launching the exploit (only Wi-Fi). The exploit launches a lot faster as well. There is a lot more RAM available through PSM Unity than the regular one.
How much more RAM are we talking here?
Interesting. However, a few months back, didn’t $ony mention version 3.50 freeing up ram as well? Wonder if this will take effect in Rejuvenate.
I’m really happy for all the opportunities for homebrew, but I really hope Rejuvenate won’t lead to piracy in the end. What if there’s a loophole in PSM+ that allows you access to the wrong parts, which can enable piracy? It will kill the Vita for sure…
It didn’t kill the PSP, though. In fact, one could said the CFW helped it, and we all know that the main reasone most installed one in those times wasn’t to create/play homebrews…
ps vita is dead anyway but you can’t enable piracy on it, just install emulator like nes,snes etc…
Thats literally impossible, sony did a good job on security for the vita and no game or app has extra permission than needed.
Psvita is already dead in the water when Sony abandoned it, so no you cant kill it only ‘rejuvenate’ it. It’s there own fault when you try to milk people like cows, there may be a few Bulls amongst them.
At last! 😀 Now all we need is a way to run it on 3.18 🙂
Will this work with vitas on 3.18 firmware?
Just found out it’s 3.20 + which is fine. Which exploit game do you guys suggest getting, which is the best for this firmware?
Y U think It’s 3.20+ only? 0-0
3.18 works
Yifan lu,i love you,continue!!
meu ps vita esta na 3.52 tem algum jeito de fazer um downgrade ? ou istala Rejuvenate a Unidade app ?
Translation @Ricardo – My vita is on 3.52. Is there a way to downgrade or install the Unity app?
No y no.
To be honest, I’m looking forward to this more than freehax. If the existing homebrew can still run on Rejuvenate Unity, I’d probably use Vita homebrew more since I wouldn’t have to connect my Vita to my PC every time I wanted to run homebrew.
Sad to see many people still doing the vita hack. How often do you play your OWN game n beat it? How often you beat the game and let it sit there?
How often do you even buy games and not touch them?
So ask yourself, in 24 hours how many games are you playing, beating and not even touch? Waste of your money, time and your so call life existence? So you want to prirate games, how many? You going to play them all or leave it cause a new game is out and you didn’t even the other 5 games you just bought at a discount price?
so did I *** you off cause all you poser talks about pirating games, for those that want to admit I don’t pirate, kid your behind a computer screen, you could be working for Sony, FBI or even a pedophile priest. Don’t act like a saint online when you clearly doing other crazy *** behind close doors.
So you digitally buying games or downloading them til you got no space? Is that correct?
While you finish downloading old age psp games you want to play, good luck on choosing which to play first on your list of pirates and never beat or make 10 Achievement.
FYI- get a tablet, it have ppsspp and you can play PSP.
Everyone so hype about the vita hack, especially the one that can’t code, do nothing with their own life and complain, complain and act needy for the vita hack cause they can’t afford high prices games well they don’t want to teach themselves any new tricks , only what comfortable to them, so much for thinking outside the box.
If you thinking walking around with a vita hack is going to be the best gaming portable for you, then please look at all the ports of old generation games to a handheld.
People like you are easy to grab money from, all I need is a product, amazing details about it and you be asking me for it like its really important Iike Your whole life depends on it.
Why did I write this post? Well those Claims” first” post are morons with no motivation to do anything in life but surf the web all day, be fat and wait for food to be ready.
Those that complains that can’t do it right doesn’t know how to use google translation.
Those that still playing PSP games on a vita. Its 2015, you had many years before that to beat all sorta games on a PSP, guess you are just another ***.
Smart person gets 2 vita. Why is that person smart? He is not. Probably just greedy .
Ask yourself , you own ps4, ps3,PSP, vita xbox360 , a xboxone, D’s, dei, 3ds, 2ds, it doesn’t stop….SNES, genesis. Gameboy , GBA
And the games keep going and piling up. Now which one you going to play first, now which game and how long you going to play it til you switch to another game? In 24 hours beside working or schooling, you have *** to still talk about hacking when you haven’t beat a single game.
So pirate away, use all that memory doesn’t matter to me, what I really want you to see is how wasteful you are.
Cry me a river 😀
Thanks for wasting time on us, on “people that only waste their existence”. Thank you kindly 🙂
note last sentence, “So pirate away, use all that memory doesn’t matter to me, what I really want you to see is how wasteful you are.” Does anyone else believe this didnt matter to him?
Guy’s just *** he updated to ’52.
You must be fun at parties, dad.
When will Rejuvenate be at a state where it can simply be downloaded to PSV and installed, regardless of the FW?
Also, what about all the relevant emulators for piracy, especially of old Sony consoles?
Until then you haven’t fully hacked s* but I appreciate the efforts, nonetheless.
This was much sooner than I thought, but this is even more fantastic news for those who wants to join in on the Revitalize competition!
Can some please tell me how i’m supposed to install rejuvenate unity on firmware 3.51 with content manager? I can’t use content manager coz it forces me to update to 3.52 which i won’t. I searched trough the internet but i couldn’t bypass content manager. And unfortunately OpenCMA is not supported since 3.01. Appreciate any kind of help.
opencma si permite gestionar contenidos y copiar la app psm para el truco…pero para poder entrar a la play store y actualizar el juego y usr el wiifi es el problema
Muchos gracias amigos, i finally installos psm unity 🙂
I got the beta. Still work to do regarding the SDK and compatibility.
I can’t wait for a native port of RetroArch for Vita & PSTV. BTW, can 3.18/3.20 still be exploited? I got a Vita on 3.03 and Numblast exploit and a new PSTV on 3.20.
Ok, updated Vita from 3.01 to 3.18 and got the updated Numblast exploit which works on 3.18. Haven’t touched the Vita for nearly a year!
can you guys make PSPEmu for Rejuvenate ? I know there is one integrated in the Vita but for now you can see that we can’t use the old exploit game’s way to play the ISO PSP that I have .
Sony just better come out with a 128GB Vita Card LOL. If Homebrew and Emulators start busting out like no other, we will need the space for them. All I care for is a MAME type Emu, N64, Doom that can run the Brutal Doom Mod, SNES, Virtual Boy, PSX, a way to load MY PSP Games, and a SWF/Flash Games(Killfrog and JoeCartoon)
I have psvita with firmware 3.18. ¿I can install PSM Rejuvenate and Unity Dev App or sofwrare necessary to Rejuvenate? or I have to upgrade the firmware to a version superior? If you need to upgrade the firmware would update the NEXT is 3.20 m or automatically updated in the latest version of firmwarwe?
Yo tengo psvita con firmware 3.18. ¿puedo instalar Rejuvenate y PSM Unity Dev App o sofwrare necesario para Rejuvenate? o tengo que actualizar el firmware a una version superior? Si tengo que actualizar el firmware se ma actualizaria a la siguente 3.20 o se actualizaria automaticamente a la ultima version del firmwarwe?
It will update to 3.52. DO NOT UPDATE. In fact, on 3.18, you have access to the package installer, se install both the PSM dev and Dev for Unity and you can use Rejuvenate right now!
Se actualizará a 3,52. No actualizar. De hecho, en 3.18, usted tiene acceso a la instalación del paquete, se instala tanto el dev PSM y Dev para la Unidad y se puede utilizar Rejuvenate ahora mismo!
Lo siento por Google Translate.
Muchas gracias. muchas gracias tambien por molestarte en traducirlo en google translate
Thank you. Also thank you very much for taking the time to translate it into google translate
finally installed unity! now just waiting patiently. Thank you Yifan, Yumyum, mr_gas, Majortom, Wololo and all people involved, you are awesome! 😉
How can I install the PSM Unity App on 3.35? Don’t I need to be on the latest firmware to access the PSN Store/Sony services?
We need a way to go in psn store back again :/ FW 3.36 no way with updateblocker…
