Open CMA is a patch by Virtuous Flame to prevent the PS Vita Content Manager Assistant from connecting to the internet. The PS Vita comes with a Content Manager Assistant to copy save files that requires you to be connected permanently to the internet.
To connect your PlayStation Vita system to a PC or Mac and perform operations such as copying data, you must install Content Manager Assistant for PlayStation on your PC or Mac. Download Content Manager Assistant and follow the instructions on this page to install the application.
- Connect your PlayStation Vita system to your PC / Mac.
Connect your PlayStation Vita to the PC / Mac using the USB cable that was supplied with the PlayStation Vita system (make sure the PS logo is facing upward when connecting the cable to the PlayStation Vita system). The PC / Mac must be connected to the Internet. If the PlayStation Vita is recognised by the PC / Mac, a message stating 'PlayStation Vita system was connected' will be displayed on the PC / Mac status bar.
Note: If you're connecting your PlayStation Vita to your PC / Mac for the first time, it may take a few minutes for the device drivers to be installed.
If the PlayStation Vita system is still not recognised, try the following:
