OpenCMA Gets Updated For Firmware 1.80

Over on the Wololo forums, jd8531 has posted up a tutorial illustrating how to get around the new security protections set in place with the latest update to the Content Manager Application. As you may know, the latest update kills the ability to copy over files that fall on Sony's "restricted" list. However, with a new patch, those restrictions are pretty much removed and you'll be able to have the same copying abilities prior to the CMA update. Take a look at the tutorial below:

HOW TO INSTALL

The following tutorial by me and is also included in the download with more details and troubleshooting (just follow Jd8531′s tutorial text file).

1. Download the patch and extract the files to your desktop
2. Run “CMASetup”
3. After installation open the folder openCMA_vita_180 and copy everything to where the official CMA is installed at —>(C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Content Manager Assistant).
4. Run (<–DOUBLE CLICK)the “set.dll” file (run everything as administrator)
5. Then Run the batch file named “run”
6. It should load everything within the window and it’ll install CMAWatcher and CMADownloader in that same folder.
7. Run “CMAWatcher”, it should open and close quickly (you might not even seen it open)
8. After that let it rebuild the database if needed
9. You are all done!

NOTE: You need to have CMA uninstalled before you get going with this. In Addition, you cannot close CMA while it is running on the Vita or you will have to repeat this tutorial again. If you are getting any errors, replace your 'psp2-updatelist.xml' file with the one of your region below. Finally, this tutorial will only work on PCs. A solution is in the works for OSX users.

You can find everything that you'll need below.
