You Should Register for PSM says Yifan Lu
You probably know Yifan Lu from his work on Vita/3DS/Amazon Kindle and various devices. He says you should register for Playstation Mobile, if I were you I would do what he says.
Sony declared PSM is shutting down about 2 months ago. The shutdown takes place in steps, final date for registration is May 31, 2015.
As the registration is free, you have nothing to lose for registering before this date. Also don’t forget to setup your Vita. Yifan Lu says it would be wise for a Vita owner to register and run a sample demo even if he/she isn’t a developer. Well, I follow Yifan Lu’s work from Kindle days and value his opinions so I can advise you to do the same.
I don’t want to speculate about it so I will leave it to you what you might regret about if you don’t register [Note from wololo: oh, oh, let me do the speculation, please! Here it goes: It’s pretty obvious to me that there’s something big coming up from a hacking perspective, and people who don’t follow the steps below might regret it for a long time].
Here are the steps you should do, quoted from Yifan Lu’s blog.
What you should do before June 2015:
- Sign in to the PSM DevPortal with your PSN account
- Click the button to “Apply for PSM Publisher License” and follow the directions
- After you get approved, download SDK 1.21.02 (NOT SDK 2.00.00 or Unity for PSM)
- Follow the directions to get the dev assistant for your Vita
- Once everything is installed, play with a demo! For example, BallMazeDemo is pretty fun. Before the demo will run though, you have to generate an app key. Refer to PSM’s documentations for that.

Update: notice the “after you get approved” bit. To get approved for a PSM publisher license, you need to go to to the PSM Dev portal, and click on the “Apply for PSM Publisher license”. You will be asked to provide full information, including an address and a phone number. Do not do anything on your PS Vita (including updating it) before you have received this approval. You won’t be able to even run a PSM game prior to this approval.

This is a trick for hunt pyracy online developments. Never recorder in PSM, it’s just a tip.
If you are going for most excellent contents like me, simply visit this web site everyday for the reason that it gives quality contents, thanks
I maybe found a way to do it without accessing to PS Store, but can’t test it now because I don’t receive the confirmation by Sony yet. Could anybody tell me when the Vita needs to connect to PSN? In wich steps?
Thanks
You need to connect to pen to download PSM dev assistant
Pen = psn
I can already do that without PSN.
How did you get the dev assistant app with out updating? When I click on the link it opens psn and asks me to update.
Could you give us more info? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Yes, if anybody replies to my question…
The Vita web browser opens the Store when you click here psns:browse?product=IP9100-PCSI00007_00-PSSUITEDEV000000 , which I suposse it’s a simple “link” to the “page” of the software on the store.
Obviously, in order to explore the store and download from there you need to be at the most recent firmware version, so…
OK so I did everything but I hope that this “something big” ends up being some sort of native hack. B/c otherwise I’d rather just keep updating my vita in order to buy new games. I could care less about pirating ***. If you guys do, then get a job, it’s much less of a hassle
This will be great when it comes out for all stealing vita pirates. Just look at all the comments, everyone is ready to pirate.
Lol who care about piracy at this point, vita’s dead and buried by Sony.
Just a couple of things wrong with your statement: Yifan is agains’t piracy AND what he has done is create a way to run vita native code (homebrews) like VHBL by the way doesn’t give you native piracy…
I won’t be stealing any Vita games, though I might copy a few that aren’t released in my region.
BTW, keep posting the same bull$hit on every article, I get a kick out of it! TROLOLOLOL
If applications need to be approved by a human, someone is going to come in on Monday morning to an unusual amount of applications. Chances are they might make some calls, then all the apapplications might be rejected.
I really like your avatar
Updating literraly right now…good bye TNV
YOU SHOULD WAIT TO GET APPROVED BEFORE
Maybe he was already approved? I’m still on 3.36, waiting for that approval… I hope Yifan knows what he is doing, and actually has something that is promising. I’m sacrificing the webkit exploit for this…
Actually I havent received it yet. Im just tired of the back and forth so im going to gamestop to get a used one. They have plenty of them and 90 percent are at 3.15 or below
Thanks for finally writing about >You Should Register for PSM says Yifan Lu <Loved it!
I feel like out of all Ninja releases.. this should have been a Ninja release first.
im praying that a release of bubbles method, or at least TN-X for 3.50 before this months ends.. please..
the only reason for forcing people to play crappy online only crud is
PURE GREED
all these arguments about – oh.. people will cheat.. – bull effing shee ite – besides we are not in
school anymore – we are grown-ups – if a bunch of kiddies want to cheat – boo hoo… do NOT
ruin gaming for the rest of the world of innocent non-cheaters – i for one + anyone else with commom sense
am never EVER paying a single cent for online only crud..
anyone out there – devs – if you want real money – sell your games for a decent price-say less than 5 bucks us…
and never EVER make them online only…
also if they are a multiplayer game – at least add bots for gods sake…
multiplayer is a silly gimmick – when the time comes and it does for everyone with half a brain…- we want to own
what we pay for… – this silly drm crud is actually the main reason people pyratethings besides the obvious greed
of pricing… i mean even if games were only 1 us dollar each – all you need is less than 1 percent of people to buy it for over a million dollars!!!!
the end…
TRUTH OUT
Wololo, I trust you. I hope this is grand.
my license is been in ‘Applying’ status for more than 24 hours. hmm…..
Should I update or stay on 2.61 eCFW (Urbanix)?
Patience… max 5 working days
Mine also already 24 hours but still no confirmation
I think a lot of us hit the end of their business week and so have to wait until Monday or possibly later before the system (or a person if Sony really didn’t automate the process) starts pushing them through again.
they’ll check it if the address provided is valid…hope mine passed
You can use pkg Installer for PSM Assistant
How did you do this? 🙂
Well does that mean I have to update my firmware? I’m on 3.18 at the moment.
what if your in 3.18 firmware? i got psm installed in my ps vita but no mobile games are running unless you update your firmware
I bet this is all just a big hoax. Yifan Lu is trolling us guys.
If you get an error “MSB4185”
Open a command prompt with admin privileges and type
setx MSBUILDENABLEALLPROPERTYFUNCTIONS 1
Is it ok to use ps vita TV for this? then just back up all the files made and use it later after buying a new ps vita updated firmware?
3.18 user here, staying on it enjoying TN-V, TN-X, Package Installer, custom bubbles and Webkit vulnerability.
PSM is deader than Vita, and any hack relying on PSM is a dead end of the evolution.
I’m not going to give up 3.18 and update to 3.50, losing the best of everything released so far for a temporary hack (PSM subscription expires in 1 year I believe) of unknown nature, which is even unlikely to allow backups/piracy.
they stated we will regret if not applying this. I think this one is more worth it than what you said. I’m waiting my publisher license to approved. after that,surely doing the update things. no one force you to do this but it is up to you to choose 😉
I agree with anon. I’m going to stick with 3.18. Now if he is wrong then we can all yell at him because he thought this new exploit will not be any good and anon is a ***.
After I read all the comments, and stuff, Ive made a final decision. Il stick to 3.18, but also I’m getting a 2nd hand vita for this.
anybody got the license already? how long did it take
Hi,
I can’t click on the agree on the registration page !!!!
Why ???
You have to “read” all the Terms & Conditions, in other words, you have to scroll to the bottom of the Terms & Conditions frame.
Hard decision this, dunno if I want to lose ability to play my PSP backups.
My country is not on the list? How to get approval ?? Is there some way? I hate losing the TNV11 for nothing
Maybe get a US P.O. box for the address and make a usa sony account? Lol.
Awesome, I already registered a year or so ago so looks like I am ready for whatever this mystery is. All I want is full speed emulators with full control options!!
Hey wait…….login and check ur status…….it may remind u that ur key is bout to expire, renew it.
Waiting for the PSM dev license to confirm through, I also wanna try the PC remote play anyways 🙂
Where’s the registration link?
so i am still on 2.12, if i update to 3.36 will i be able to use a proxy to access the store? Also the exploit on that should include arcade darts, but i need a base game. So would any game i can download on the vita work? i have tetris (like 30 mb)
nevermind about the tetris however is there any demos that work?
I have arcade darts exploit on 3.36 and im using ape quest demo (starter pack) as my base game.
cool thanks
no prob 🙂
damn, very vague instructions but got it working after like half an hour. Wonder what this will lead to.
wolo your a ***. why do you censor comments that talk about Sony’s *** behavior. *** lamer
I rarely censor comments unless they contain insults. It’s most likely your cache playing tricks on you. That, or learn to type politely
i’m getting an error on the postcode part of the publisher license registration. it says: “Enter Postcode (no hyphens or spaces) in text of 9.” help please? i am using a Cary, Illinois address. with 60013 postode.
you need the full 9 digits postcode.
is there a way to get that? please help. thank you.
nevermind. i foun it. thanks for the reply, good sir. i’m from the philippines. so i didn’t know that.
need clarfication on psm run time package do i need to update it? because no mobile game would run ifits not updated
It’s been 2 days and still “Your application for a PSM Publisher License is being reviewed. Please wait.” How long does it take?
Took me 8 days 😛
Been a dev with licence and key for the past two yrs……..finally some use of it
The key expires after few yrs, it told me tht my key is about to expire and to renew it, I did and jzt waiting for whtevers comin up
Running remote desktop to play cs 1.6 pc
Yifan lu can atleast hint us what is it he had found soo hidden and awesome, it must be better than only ps1 emu and psp emu and homebrews stuff…………..maybe ps3 emu or ps2 emu lol…………..or maybe he just wants us to get the key so it may aid in future if an exploit is found
He better keep it hidden if it’s really something, if Sony get a hint of a hack, they will shutdown the whole service just for this as he said nothing, I doubt they will do anything
so pretend you just need a key for developing games for now
Wouldnt sony have arleady got a hint that somethings wrong, they can shutdown their service anyway ? :p
