I keep getting this error: Error MSB4185: The function "CurrentUICulture" on type "System.Globalization.CultureInfo" has not been enabled for execution. (MSB4185) (BallMazeDemo)
Any ideas?

sure. you'll need psmdev.pkg, ps3xportgui and your idps.bin

1. create a lightweight backup (no games\saves\videos etc.) on your ps3

2. go to ps store and download any ps vita app (i got Network Media Player, but it should probably work with any other app), then make another backup

3. extract the whole second backup with ps3xportgui

4. search extracted folder named dev_hdd0 and locate the folder with your downloaded app (mine was in dev_hdd0\vsh\game_pkg\80000001). inside there should be a .pkg file along with three others (d0.pdb, d1.pdb, ICON_FILE). copy this folder somewhere, but recreate the original folder structure (i.e. newfolder\dev_hdd0\vsh\game_pkg\80000001 in my case). extracted backup folders are no longer needed, you can delete them

5. open the folder you just copied, then replace the .pkg file with psmdev.pkg, but keep the original filename (i.e. VTXgiSAPiRkiRGYEShqfBDtjjmwoOKtEbCMHBMBsWRmgmyiPsCNMTzwEpguevtUj.pkg in my case)

6. add the folder from the previous step to your first backup from step 1 (use the 'Add from an existing copy-protected Backup' option in ps3xportgui), then restore this backup on your ps3

7. connect your vita to ps3 by using the qcma trick, then transfer the app to your vita. it will be listed as the original app you downloaded in step 2 (Network Media Player in my case), but it's actually psmdev assistant.

8. install this update via package installer and you're done

some of these steps are probably unnecessary, but this is exactly how i did it. my vita is on 3.18 btw

Just to be clear, for people that need their idps.bin, since using flatz tool on 4.70 OFW doesn't seem to work, is there still some way to get it (CFW only maybe?) or is it too late?

edit: I think the answer is if you don't have it, you're probably out of luck

To transfer to vita from ps3, your vita and ps3 must be on same account.

Thanks very much for this. I got it installed fairly easily thanks to your tut. Installing the demo was a bit more involved than I thought but it wasn't too much as long as you follow the instructions to the letter. I tried to rush it the first time around and I got a couple of errors.

Alot of people are having the same problem and it's probably because of psn maintenance yesterday/today. It might also be because of the random psid.
