Vita Rejuvenate port for Unity released, brings homebrew to the masses and PSTV support
Yifan Lu just announced it: the long wait is over: Those of you who stayed on firmware 3.51 and managed to install the PSM For Unity Dev assistant (you can see how to install it here) should now be able to enjoy homebrews, thanks to Netrix’s port of Rejuvenate to the Unity app.
Rejuvenate and Unity
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.
Additionally, because the PSM Unity Dev assistant can debug through Wifi, it makes Rejuvenate compatible with the PS TV (Vita TV)
This port of YifanLu’s Rejuvenate was made mostly by Netrix. Yifanlu mentions that SMOKE was involved with testing and script modifications.
How to Install Rejuvenate, the PSM Unity app, and run your first homebrew
- Make sure your PS Vita is on firmware 3.51 or lower. If you have firmware 3.52 or higher, your PS Vita cannot run the Rejuvenate hack
- Install the PSM Dev Assistant for Unity on your Vita.
- Download & Install Rejuvenate (once downloaded, run SETUP.bat and follow the instructions)
- Get your developer license through PSM+. Follow the instructions here. (note: psmplus is also available on hackinformer)
You should be all set up. In order to confirm everything is working, go ahead and try to run your first homebrew.

You can download Rejuvenate for PSvita here
How do I get Rejuvenate on my PSTV (VitaTV)?
YifanLu explained that you’ll need a PS Vita in addition to your Vita TV: install the client on your Vita and then move the memory card to the VitaTV. YifanLu mentions that that mr.gas will release a method for client installation that does not require a Vita to install.
Alright, I’m all set up, where do I get homebrews?
- We maintain a page of Emulators for the PS Vita running with Rejuvenate.
- Here’s a good list of available homebrews and emulators for Rejuvenate, maintained by /talk user Warft.
More details on our Rejuvenate page. Be sure to ask for help on our forums if you’re stuck!

Great news
That’s great news got bothe dev apps installed
wow! well done to all you guys. i’ma gonna work on it heheh
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?
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.
Not the real NotWololo…
Awesome, good job guys
First
Yay
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
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.
nope @ rsrsr. So can you give me a advise about a good FW to update my 2.12? That I can use to run eCFW (Emulates PSP) and use this new Exploit also? Because I really wanna play some psp games but i dont wanna miss a thing about native emulator.
I’d say 3.18 is the best choice. Check this out: http://www.zload.net/bilder/PSVita/VitaExploitChart.png , some of those exploits should still be available.
Go to the one before mini memory restrictions
Don’t remember which
3.36 is the best firmware for Vita.
3.18 is the best u get everything
3.18 is the best
@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?
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]
It is saying it is located in the ShaderConverter.exe
Does it for the Zip and the Exe Download
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
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
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.
Smoker163B10
I cant find my Device Name to Help pls. Cheers
You can find your Device Name in “Key Management” tab in Publishing Utility for Unity. Just connect your PSVita in USB and go to the tab.
Yeah I figured that out at the last Minute. LOL.
The Virus is a False Positive. File is now confirmed SAFE!
Wololo admin is it possible to download grade from 3.52
Unfortunately no.
Nope

Well I dunno about that

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?
Thanks now i can use it inside a limo with a 19 inch monitor via pstv with a ds4 controller!
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?
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??
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)
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? 🙁
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.
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.
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…
Im stuck here to have you figured it out?
Still can’t play PS Vita ISOs…
shut up and cry about piracy somewhere else
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
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.
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.
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
I didn’t know that, thanks!
But the every day check is still need to be done right, didnt bypass this one yet?
Thanks for answer.
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
Is is possible to port TNV to the Rejuvenate exploit?
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???
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.
Sorry but the Vita will never be unlocked fully. Piracy will never happen to the Vita.
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
Connect your PSVita to Publishing Utility for Unity, go to “Key Management” tab and your device name will show there.

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 .
