Purchase the game legally!
Click the button to get PSN Funds (use Paypal or create an account to use a credit Card)
This will redirect you to Play-Asia, a trusted online digital store that has both Japanese and American Merchandise.
If Play Asia does not work for you, then click on this website that redirects you to Japan Code Supply, another trusted online digital store that has Japanese Digital cards that will arrive to your email within a minute!*
*First time purchasers will have to wait up to 24 hours, since you are making a first purchase on their website. I would recommend users who only have Prepaid Credit Cards to use Japancodesupply.

If you are redirected to the U.S. PlayStation store it's because your (Local Region) PSN account is signed in, please sign out and re-click on the same link after you signed in with your new JP PSN account.
We will upload a guide on how to patch the game in a future date.
For now, please purchase the PSP version of Sakurasou no pet. Do not buy the vita version until we can get into the game files.
UPDATE: The PS Vita seems to be unhackable. If you have a spare PSP, or PSP emulator on your computer, please use that instead of waiting for the Vita patch. Sorry about that. In addition, Vita Exploits don't seem to work anymore, and the Vita Build files are getting more complicated to get into.
Update 11/9/20: It no longer matters what version you get, they will all work.
