“We are very happy to inform you that the Open Beta phase of Developer Program for PlayStation Suite is now ready,” Sony said in an email to TheSixthAxis this morning. “Developers around the world can join Open Beta.” We’re told that the closed beta test has just ended, with participants automatically getting access to the Open Beta. The best news is that you can test and debug games and applications developed with the PS Suite SDK on a normal PlayStation Vita system. The developer suite can be downloaded from here.

Wario, is the Vita saved, I am waiting for your response. Takao too.

[Wario64]

Nope.

[Truth101]

Takao too.

I'm afraid he isn't with us anymore.

[Infinite Justice]

I'm afraid he isn't with us anymore.

So he actually got permed?


as for the topic: good to hear and i might try it out one day.

[dallow_bg]

Hope gaffers make something.

[Spaulding]

Here we go. Will download the SDK as soon as I'm at home.

[ReaperXL07]

Awesome, i'm not programmer myself only some minor experience on the music/sound end, but i'm really looking forward to seeing what people might do with this. Hell some of my favorite games this gen have been from PSN/XBLA/ and Android

[Panajev2001a]

Awesome news :).

[gofreak]

Awesome news.

edit - oh snap

[Truth101]

I don't know if he's permed but he is banned so can't comment, lol.

[DukeTogo1300]

Strange about that bolded statement. It seems rather trusting of Sony, like a way to trade homebrew without getting it approved first.

I wonder what the limitations are.

[Chesskid1]

ohhh, there's a vita only link on that page you click to get the app on your vita.

someone download it and share what's all on there, please.

someone make a ps1 emulator.

[Zeouterlimits]

Awesome news, can't wait to dig in.

[lowrider007]

Yes finally!, I have a lot of hope for this Suite, the fact that they let you test games and apps on a regular Vita is very cool and unexpected tbh.

[opticalmace]

So... what is this thing?

[Luigiv]

Strange about that bolded statement. It seems rather trusting of Sony, like a way to trade homebrew without getting it approved first. I wonder what the limitations are.

They're not native PS Vita apps. PS sSuite is a virtual machine that runs on multiple devices, as such no low level programming and overall limited performance. It'll scratch the itch of some Homebrewers but not all (it also depends on how open the platform is).

[gofreak]

Excite.

Installing SDK still...

Cool, it opens up immediately the the PSN store on the Vita.
8mb app.

[hodgy100]

Can't wait to try this out :D

oh i thought there was some more info, my bad

[Yjynx]

Cool now I wish to see what you guys at gaf could make.....

[Jaroof]

Where's the download for it? I can't find it.

Edit:
Durr, never mind. >_>
Stupid me.
Didn't read all of the quote at first.

Uncanny that I also got those three games recommended to me on the same page :p

[chris.trejo]

Already downloaded can't wait to get started!

[Panajev2001a]

I hope they realize that, like Unity, a Mono.Net centered SDK and MonoDevelop based tools (which run on MacOS X already) should allow developers to use MacOS X as native development platform.

If you want to get apps from iOS only developers you should make it easy for them to code their apps... and when you are working on portable technology already running on MacOS X very well...

[gofreak]

Cool, Vita's screenshot function works with suite apps. (Assuming the dev environment is 1:1 with the final release environment at least)



Also, it seems like it would be fine to share projects/code and run them on each other's Vitas. But don't think you can 'download' the apps to your Vita...edit - oops, nevermind, see below!

[gofreak]

Scratch that - apps are actually kept on the Vita beyond a debugging session. So you do basically download apps 'for keeps' onto it. You just access them from the dev app rather than the main Vita menu.

[Why would you do that?]

Time for me to get a Vita. :p

(Hopefully I can get one $200 or less.)

That's just crazy.

[michaelius]

"Hello World" ;)

[Luigiv]

That's just crazy.

Crazy how? That's pretty exactly how I was expecting it to work myself. PS Suite is separate from the Vita OS and BIOS, after all.

!!!!VITA IS THE NEW AMIGA!!!!!

I have a long holiday coming up without the family - i think i see what's going on the MBP.

[kassatsu]

lol I will screw around with this more after finals

[gofreak]

That's just crazy.

And just checked to be sure, they're still there and playable when I plug my vita out of my PC.

Well, I had a bad feeling they'd only be exposed or playable during a debugging session with your PC. So it's nice they appear to be available all the time.

[Jonnyram]

This is very exciting.
I don't know if I'll ever get around to developing something myself, but I'm very interested in seeing what others come up with.

Edit: things are gonna get messy if they don't update the OS, though. Little apps are soon going to fill up the home screens.

[kassatsu]

Can I develop free games and applications? Development will be limited to paid (including freemiun) content.

Dumb.

[gofreak]

Some detail in the docs about the on screen controller thing too...you just specify if you want it to be used or not, and it will be automatically modified (size/layout etc.) to suit the device you are playing on. On a Vita it won't be displayed. The developer can manually modify the layout of the controller, and the player can also move and change the size of the different components.

Where did you get these demos?

Ok that's fair. Seems like it'd be a pain in the ass for developing if it were like that, so I'm glad it's not (Imagine trying to test/debug a location tracking, AR or Motion controlled app with the thing tethered to your PC. Yuck). I'm guessing PS Suite is going to be a relatively open and unrestricted platform if Sony is leaving the rabbit hole open like this.

[gofreak]

Where did you get these demos?

Once you install the sdk, there should be a Pss\sample folder in your public documents folder. You can open the solution files for them in there.

cheers, I wondered where they were.

They included a virtual joypad by default? Interesting, oh well... I just finished coding a nice virtual DPad on Unity for a small company. Had a nice time :).

[Shalashaska161]

Cool will definitely play around with this tomorrow.

[2+2=5]

F**K YEAH! XD

[fr4nz]

The tower defence demo is pretty nice :

[nofi]

Seems to crash the Vita connection on the bigger samples. Just me?

[StoppedInTracks]

Can people officially write emulators for NES, SNES under this PS suite thingy? Is this Java based?

[kassatsu]

C# atm

[PaulLFC]

Dumb.

That is silly. Maybe you could make the app "freemium" with one very cheap purchasable item that has no effect on gameplay (cosmetic maybe?) - so then it would technically be free.

[Twinduct]

Dumb.

Hopefully this changes after/ during the beta.
Will kinda limit the type of stuff being released :<
