Oh man I couldn't be bothered to install the PSM thing and all that when Wololo first mentioned it, so I've missed the boat. They seem pretty confident other methods will be found though.

Vita "hacked," (PSP) homebrew on the way (not piracy)

I'm really hoping someone ports over Retroarch and PPSSPP, maybe even VLC. That would make the Vita/PS TV a nice little media and game device.

Same here
The hacks are still too inconvenient and early
I am hoping for a more universal solution to come about someday. Until then this stuff just takes too much time and dedication to be worth it.

Indeed. If I was still a kid I'd screw about it with it all as I did during the PSP days, but I'm happy enough to just play games nowadays lol.
I think your in a better position than some.
It is only a legacy platform in some regions.
I think they clarified the "legacy platform" meaning by saying the first gen Vita is the legacy platform. The revised version is not. It's total bullsh** though. Like Muteki said, the Vita name is still relevant in other regions.
oh no no no no
just before the flash sales ?
how i am gonna buy the vita games ?

You can use a PS3 and OpenCM from your PC to get Vita games on your hacked Vita.
1. Download Vita game to your PS3
2. Download OpenCM to your PC.
3. Connect your Vita with the Manager to your PC
4. Unplug it from the PC
5. Plug it into your PS3
6. You should now have access to your PS3's downloaded Vita games.
what is OpenCM ?

Doesn't cost them as much to update the system software compared to how much it costs to develop a game.
Despite what people say, there's still a lot of Vita games being released, especially Japanese games. Homebrew would destroy software sales and the chance of Japanese games ever being localized anymore.

I've been out of the loop on this native hack. It's too late at this point right? My firmware should be pretty low since I haven't updated it since like March.
It really wouldn't because the homebrew that is being worked on has no chances to ever enable piracy.
Google it. OpenCM vita. It's a modified version of Sonys content manager that allows you to connect to your PC without having to check your firmware.
you mean..OpenCMA , right ?
edit , so , i need to download openCMA from here
http://cma.dl.playstation.net/cma/win/en/index.html
and download the other file from wolo
my vita is not hacked
just connect the vita to the PC ?

If you've got a Vita/PS TV below firmware 3.52, here's a way to install the PSM Unity Dev App: http://wololo.net/2015/06/27/eml-generator-write-directly-ps-vita-memory-card/
I thought you had a hacked Vita? Why would you post that question in this thread then?
If so, disregard whatever I said. If you just need to buy stuff for your PSN account, go to the PSN with your PC https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/games/ and buy whatever you need.
i just have PSM installed in my vita and i am waiting for a hack now
Finally managed to install "PSM Dev for Unity" using this.

Did you use QCMA or OpenCMA? Because I hear it only works with QCMA, but QCMA isn't picking up my PS TV.
QCMA. It's pretty finicky for me too, try closing QCMA, pluging in your Vita and starting Content Manager on it before starting QCMA again.
Edit: Oh, PSTV, well replace "pluging in your Vita" with "connecting your PSTV".

Managed to figure out how to connect my PS TV to QCMA, but since I don't have an app to update, I'm stuck.

I haven't really felt excited for homebrew on the Vita like I did the PSP. I remember when my friend was running Super Mario World on the SNES emulator and this was before smartphones really existed. It was amazing to see and I wanted one immediately. Now I don't wish the Vita was truly hacked but homebrew gaming on the Vita doesn't really do it for me anymore, and it would be cool if I could rip my games to the memory card and load them all through there. I know that would be bad for the Vita but at the same time I wouldn't be mad...
Nah, that'll clearly encourage piracy. You should have gone digital for the games you want on your card. Not like they aren't cheap enough during sales. You still can, even by selling your retail copies. If you want both why would you be off the hook by owning one, when they currently charge for both and let you do that?
I guess I can see why you'd think it's fair. But not worth the piracy damage even at this stage.
Personally I'm checking quite often for the snes emulator and genesis etc. I have a spare vita set up waiting for it but it seems like a decent native vita emulation scene or even just the psp emulators might still be a way off on this psm app stuff. Can't wait to have it all set up properly. PSPgo isn't cutting it.
You can go to Settings > System > Playstation®Mobile, touch the bottom right corner and hit 'update'.
Should work.
Doubt it, Gamecube emulation is even still a WIP on modern Android phones.
you MUST be joking!

There still are no hex editors available for the Vita like CWCheat or TempAR? I will buy a Vita again if there is now.

Do you have a PSM licence? If so, you need to enable wifi prior to opening the PSM dev app (but dont worry it wont ask you to update or anything)
For now you cannot run Rejuvenate if you don't have a psm publisher's license.
We're doing a closed beta test of psm+, the hack/service that will allow you to run homebrews without the publisher's license.
In other words:
don't try too hard for now if you don't have a publisher's license and are not part of the psm+ beta test.

Yeah, I was trying it earlier and it wasn't doing anything. Ended up downloading to PS3 and using the Qcma trick.
