    wow! well done to all you guys. i’ma gonna work on it heheh

  4. Me

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but with this I’ll have no iso support, and since I can’t update my firmware I’ll have no store support, meaning no playing ps1 games I don’t already have on my pc?

    • NotWololo

      Rejuvenate does not run PSP ISOs and cannot run retail or pirated PS Vita software. If you do not have the PS1 game already downloaded and cannot use the OpemCMA trick with a PS3, you will not be able to transfer any PS1 games to your Vita.

    So i have a psvita fw3.52 and a upcoming psvita fw2.12 ao i can use it or i need to update to something newer? Because i wanna use my king of pool exploit so i pretend to stay between 2.12 and 3.01. Or there is a better exploit i can use after 3.01,? Im looking for advise

    • nope

      Well if you did any reading you’d know you won’t be able to do anything above firmware 3.51. And rejuvenate isn’t supported until 3.01 at least. And unity requires a minimum of 3.01 to run in the first place.

    • k3nn

      @Redirr: i came from 3.01 and recently changed to 3.18 so i can have rejuvenate using psm dev assistant & now, hopefully, psm dev unity. i got the patapon 1 game for 3.18 and everything works(homebrews/isos/ps1). btw, i also got ps3 ofw to transfer things to psvita 3.18 using opencma.
      p.s.: “pretend” –> “intend” works better for your sentence 🙂

    9th, y u jelly doe?

    So should I buy a ps TV and use that for home brew, and update my vita, or use my vita for home brew and have an up to date ps TV?

  11. Smoker1

    OK, got a bit of a Problem. I grabbed the PSM_SDK_1.21.02.zip, but when I try to Unzip it so I can Install it, Avast pops up saying there is
    Win32:Crypt-RXJ [Trj]

    • Smoker1

      It is saying it is located in the ShaderConverter.exe

      • Smoker1

        Does it for the Zip and the Exe Download

        • starglad

          man, did u read the readme file?you dont need PSM_SDK_1.21
          you need PSMToolSetForUnity_1.1.0.7 in the same folder as rejuvenate

          • Smoker1

            Yeah I figured that out at the last minute. But there is a Issue with the Download though like I said. Mod might want to look into that otherwise, if there is a problem with a Virus, ppl might be having PC problems when trying to Install it

    • Smoker1

      OK, also, how do I find out what my Device Name is????? I tried putting in what it says when I connected my Vita to my Computer and QCMA pops up saying it is connected to it.

      The Virus is a False Positive. File is now confirmed SAFE!

  12. Ben

    Wololo admin is it possible to download grade from 3.52

  13. whackm

    Hey all, everything seems to work fine. But when I go to execute the app, I’m getting “Failed the authentication to execute application” any idea here?

  14. Cameron Diaz

    Thanks now i can use it inside a limo with a 19 inch monitor via pstv with a ds4 controller!

  15. ssampiseth

    So does that mean we can play psp game on vita??? oh and i just successfully installed it and i have no idea how to install homebrew, can someone give link to guide?

  16. ssampiseth

    So can we run PSP game with this?? and after i just intsall Rejuvenate i cant seem to install homebrew so can someone give me link to guide??

    • Quade321

      You can’t play PSP games, and you can’t install homebrew, you can only run it temporarily. Also, there are tutorials on this site for Rejuvenate, just look for them under the Vita CFW section (Link at the top of the page)

  17. Quade321

    Has anyone else had the issue where you can only run one homebrew, then you have to reboot your PC or VitaDefiler will keep crashing? 🙁

  18. Thompson

    Is being able to play Vita games on Vita TV part of Rejunivate? Ive been waiting for that one since I saw it on youtube a month or two ago.

  19. TheGrandPubaa

    I’ve managed to get to the point where it tries to install VitaDefiler and it crashes for me. I’ve tried in two different installs of Windows. On XP, it finds the Vita and lists out it’s mac address and serial and then my Vita freezes and the application on the PC side eventually crashes. On Windows 7, VitaDefiler crashes as soon as it tries to find a Vital to install itself on.

    • TheGrandPubaa

      After a lot of poking around, I seem to have managed to get VitaDefiler Client on the Vita, but when I launch it, it freezes on the “Powered by Unity” screen and eventually seems to lock up the system…

    Still can’t play PS Vita ISOs…

    • w/e

      shut up and cry about piracy somewhere else

      • Anonymous

        Go back to using your *** homebrews and expensive games, you conformist. This is why I prefer the 3DS. It has a better community AND you actually have been able to play ISOs for a long time running now. The PS-Vita has always been ***. CFW is the only way to actually make the PS Vita worth something

  21. Manuel Eduardo Koegler

    Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for Ironhax.
    As awesome as this news is, I don’t really care for this dying handheld.
    Had decent potential, but left untapped.

  22. Neal C

    The only thing that’s holding me back from installing Rejuvante is that you have to update the license every day otherwise it’ll expire, and I use my PSP way more than the PS Vita.

    • wonre

      If you play often a rejuvenate homebrew game, then just put vita on sleep (don’t shut it down) when you wake it up later the rejuvenate homebrew game will still be running (thus no need to refresh license and run again the bat file). try that with hello world elf

  23. kopko

    But the every day check is still need to be done right, didnt bypass this one yet?

    Thanks for answer.

  24. Kazuya101

    Do the PSvita and the ps TV have to be on the same firmware. (i want to try and run rejuvenate on the PStv 3.20 fw, but my psvita is on 3.01 fw)
    If i need to have them on the same firmware, is there a way that i can manually update to a particular firmware?
    Appreciate any help i can get

  25. Darth Agnon

    Is is possible to port TNV to the Rejuvenate exploit?

    • Crzo

      Do you even know what are you saying??? Makes no sense.

      TNV is an emulated custom firmware for the PSP emu inside the PS Vita, how in the freaking world would you be able to use this eCFW on something that has nothing to do with the PSP???

  26. SoraNoKuni

    Rejuvenate is great as it is, and emulators are coming in waves.
    Still I believe the scene will come into climax once we get a kernel exploit, I can’t stop drooling in the thought of CFW (Perma or Temp), well the gates for piracy open as well, in 3ds scene smealum doesn’t want piracy so others do the dirty job while he retains his name clean.
    I personally will pirate some games I can’t bother to buy(Unlocalized JRPGS) since importing is pricey here.Either way there is no chance in heck to complete a slightly complex JRPG without knowing Japanese.

  27. Stanislav

    Yeah broken Yes!!

    People I need a help ..Please I need to know my device name so I can use it in getting the keys of the psm+ ? anyhelp

    • Wolfvalantine

      Connect your PSVita to Publishing Utility for Unity, go to “Key Management” tab and your device name will show there.

  29. Gamegard

    People I need a help ..Please I need to know my device name so I can use it in getting the keys of the psm+ ? any help

    • ted

      For your device name you have to open open the publishin itulity for unity and have your psvita conected to the pc, when the program recognize your psvita it will show your device name. sorry for my english im argentino .

  30. Chips

    does running rejuvenate still require a pc to run any homebrew

  31. Android.Juglar

    My Vita never connects to VitaDefilerUnity, it always shows “Waiting for Vita connection on the Network” and I’m sure that both are connected on the same network :/

  32. NeonAera

    WOO HOO!! Finallaayyy! 😀

  33. jingletit

    I have the same problem all it says is Waiting for Vita connection on the network any help?

  34. jacko

    I have a 3.36 PSP Vita and a 3.36 PSTV. it’s possible to transfert the hack with memory stick method or i have to wait for the method without a 2nd device ?

  35. Quade321

    So close, it almost works. But I can’t get it to fully launch anything. I can get it to connect over WiFi, it does its whole defeating ASLR hacky thingy, and then right about it gets to “Killing running app” in the console it says there was an error SCE_PSM_DEVICE_NO_CONNECTION. :\

  36. malaam

    It’s so sad that my vita doesn’t support rejuvenate.

  37. Lafrog
