PS Vita Hack “Rejuvenate” – Where and when to get it
I’m seeing lots of confusion following YifanLu’s announce earlier this week about his upcoming “Rejuvenate” PS Vita homebrew platform.
People are asking me by email, on facebook or twitter, “where” to download the PS Vita hack. Hint: it is not out yet!
PS Vita hack – Where to download?
YifanLu has been pretty clear on his blog that the tools are not released yet, but will come soon. Specifically, he said:
- [This week], early beta access of Rejuvenate is being distributed to SDK developers (to complete and test the SDK) as well as hackers who will begin searching for more exploits (and hopefully bypass the current limitations)
- By end of the month (or whenever Sony removes PSM DevAssistant from PSN), a public beta goes out. However, it is only recommended that homebrew developers use it as there would be no homebrew for users to try yet. Hopefully at this point, the open SDK would be complete and ready for developers to write apps.
- When PSM is revoked, the directions for using PSM+ to bypass the revokes will be released.
So, there are a few things that need to happen here, if you’re an “end user”, before downloads for these tools appear online. The SDK needs to be complete (the Vita SDK is very close to completion), and actual homebrews need to be created. Now, if you’re interested in how hacks and homebrews work, you’re in the position of being one of the pioneers on this platform, this is not something that happens everyday.
People involved in the Vita SDK, and who have directly or indirectly contributed to the hack, are already testing it. Keep in mind that this is for them to find issue, or to help with the development of the SDK.
Finally fixed, thank you very much @yifanlu pic.twitter.com/SBGFFW1ZYE

If you have significant programming skills, once the SDK is ready, you might even be able to be one of the first people to port one of the existing emulators, to the PS Vita. This could be extremely exciting. I’ll also be expecting people to start writing tutorials to help everyone getting started with this new development suite. (hint: we have a tutorial contest every month, with PSN codes to win!)
Once everything is in place, wololo.net and other scene websites will have all the information and downloads you need to get started. What matters at this point is to have the PSM Dev App installed on your Vita. Sadly, if you did not download the PSM Dev App back in May when Yifan Lu announced this, You might be out of luck as the app was pulled from the PSN store. It seems there might still be a chance if you own a PS3, so you should still try to register as a PSM Dev in order to get access to the app..
40th!
Error!
Unexpected coment!
wish psm to be revoked sooner.
After much deliberation, I updated from 3.18 for this, I hope it was the right decision.
I installed it on my 3.18…
Followed the guide for 3.18 install with ps3 & charlie proxy. It worked great!
installed on my 3.18 with second vita
Wololoooooooooo I need official answers xD!!
I have PSM Dev app on 1.00, is this ok or do I update it???
PSM SDK 1.21.02 or 2.00???
Yeah I’ve been wondering about that too. Which SDK are we supposed to download?
there is no need to download sdk just download psm dev app
Actually you need to download the 1.21.02 SDK. Just download it and wait for further instructions.
no, stay on 1.21.02 as YifanLu said.
None of that is necessary! Just need the dev assistant to run stuff. It shows up as PSM Dev on your home screen. If you have this you’ll be able to use homebrew created on the Rejuvenate platform.
I have an older PSM Dev assistant — v1.12. Is this ok for Rejuvenate, or do I need to upgrade to Dev Assistant v1.21.02?
Do we need to download the sdk to the vita from the website? I’ve got the psm dev app on my vita but there is nothing in it. Do we now get the sdk with the vita browser?? Someone fill me in thanks.
yeah the app on your pc is necessary.
According to Yifan Lu’s blog post
LINK://yifan.lu/2015/06/14/rejuvenate-native-homebrew-for-psvita/
You only need the Mobile Dev Assistant on the Vita, of course you’ll need the dev studio if you plan to develop for the platform, but as far as using the code others will create, you only need the Vita app. Even the last ditch guides on the blog only mention the vita app.
I do not have a PS Vita yet (planning to buy one next month), and also, I do not have a PS3. Am I ***?
well yes and no,
yes: well you won’t be able to enjoy the homebrews now if you can’t get the psm dev app, but what you already could do is make an account on psn and register for dev (link in post), maybe you’ll get your hands on a ps3 or get the psm dev app some other way.
no: well this hack will open other doors, maybe in the future, (im talking about more then some months, maybe half a year or a year) there will be a hack that doesn’t need psm dev app any more, people will be able to just hook up the psvita to the pc and put their hacks on it, it’s just a matter of time.
PS Vita Genesis Competition 2015 😀
Will this mean that there could be N64 and GameCube emulators on the Vita, because it should be powerful enough for them? Also, could there be a way to play PSX games through this. I ask because I have purchased some PSX games on my US account, but I’m unable to play them on my Vita (except PS3 Remote Play, which is extremely laggy) due to the memory card locks.
N64? Maybe. Gamecube? No way in heck. The Vita isn’t powerful enough for PS2 emulation, let alone Gamecube. I’d be impressed if somebody gets a Dreamcast emulator ported to the Vita.
So if we upgrade our vita, will we be able to run emulators and psp games as with TN-V?
Not sure about psp games, but (if I read right) this will allow the use of emulators!
well one could emulate a psp game ?
Could be.
I need Wololo to answer me about this ….I heard that I must have the Psm dev app 1.21.02 but mine is the last one which is 2.00 .So, Am I out of the hack and its benefits or I am still in ? Please I need your answer
I just downloaded 1.21.02 from the website, but it does say “Submissions of new PSM Applications made with PSM SDK 1.2 will no longer be accepted after March 31, 2015.” If i understand correctly, you should be fine as long as you weren’t planning on submitting anything to sony with 1.21.02.
I also must know. I have the PSM app for the Vita that is on 2.00, is this out of the hack? Or is 2.00 okay? I AM TALKING ABOUT THE FREAKING APP FOR THE VITA, I ALREADY HAVE THE SDK 1.21 ON MY COMPUTER SO DONT MENTION IT.
Thanks to anyone who can actually answer this
normally you should be fine, the dev on vita is 1.21.02/2.00….
but for certainty you should ask wololo or jifan(on his site).
SO , the answer is …?
The answer is that the PSM Dev Assistant on the Vita contains both runtimes!
If you check in Debug Settings in the menu, under Show Build Information, it should say PSM Runtime version : 1.21 / 2.00 which means it can run both versions of apps.
I think you may still need to install the PC SDK because it installs a USB driver, but that could easily be released separately I think.
I guess it means that we are in the clear.
There is not much to any development for this thing so i suggest for everyone to stick to their firmwares and not update or even download this just as of yet. But one should practice on how to download this so take notes people.
Wonderful conquer! I would like to beginner even while people fix your site, exactly how could possibly my spouse and i sign up to for the site web-site? The actual consideration helped us a acceptable offer. I’m small bit comfortable of the a person’s sent out provided brilliant translucent notion
Yes.
right then
MMM Good!!
What is the entry point of an executable with the psp2sdk and how to compile it (I guess with arm-gcc)?
I would like to compile a test 🙂
awesome contents
I realized that I never use my homebrews anymore, and my Vita is actually REALLY dusty. Not to mention I wanted to buy Lego Jurassic World, and it may ask me to update. Lucky for me I downloaded both the PSM Dev Assistant AND Unity for PSM in the past for curiosity purposes, so I had those ready and waiting on my download list. I read in a previous Wololo blog that said this would probably be more significant than the Webkit exploit, which is what I was holding out for. So I went ahead and updated my 3.18 to 3.51 and downloaded the PSM Dev Assistant, which was luckily still on my download list. I’ve registered and everything in the past, so I think I’m good.I can get to the screen you load games from.
I expect big things from this!
OK……….how are ppl still able to get the Dev App on the Vita, when I just tried to do the Register bit, and it says
Email Verification
PSM Developer registration could not be completed.
Not to mention, when I try to Download the 2 Files on my Vita, for both, I get the same 2 Messages on the PSN saying
This content may not yet be for sale or is no longer for sale
(NP-2247-5)
Im having the same exact problem. Ugh
Idont have psm dev,ps3, and i have 3.18 🙁
Hey, I got the PSM dev app just yesterday (17/06/2015) on my vita I just needed to go to the psm website, click the link and it took me to the store and the PSM dev app was there for download
How exactly? The Link that shows the 2 Apps that take you to the PSN?
I dont have psm dev,ps3,and I am 3.18 version 🙁
How about porting your favorite Android Games with a version using this like Candy Crush Saga Vita or Android apps like viber or messenger. This will not be necessarily an apk file as you reiterated that Android emulation is IMPOSSIBLE in PS Vita.
come from china
i want to play FC on PS Vita . my is 3.51 HK
I installed the Dev app on the PS Vita, any way to get the Unity connector app, or is it gone for good?
How?
This makes we wish I learned programming… All right, I updated my Vita, downloaded the apps and currently waiting the news on that small step in homebrew on the Vita! 😀
Hey, I don’t know if this is the place to make the question, but I’m kinda curious: Do you think it will be possible with this to find a way in which you can switch your PSN accounts WITHOUT having to ‘reset clean’ the PSVita each time?? ‘Cause that’s kinda…really annoying D:
I was able to get the PSM dev app. But it’s not that useful when you can’t generate the publisher key (which is needed in order to sign code to run on the dev app).
Getting to hello world on the pc was pretty easy though…
Ah CFW ps3, you make vita exploits so much easier and a lot less painless.
Excellent news I hope I’ll find the time to fix up a more clean and light media player and browser for the Vita. But if other more experienced devs with more free time do it first then yippykaeyay 😀
I want to play clash of clans using ps vita is it possible with this hack?
CoC from google store
Which version of SDK should I install?
