There's no special case for Yaroze owners;
_everthing_ published on PlayStation (ie every CD playable in a consumer
PSX)
has been published through Sony, and has gone through their quality
approval
process. (Nearly all consoles have tight quality control, the main market
that
doesn't is the PC).

Yaroze owners cannot directly make CDs that run in consumer machines;
neither can professional developers. You must go via an established
PlayStation publisher if you want it to be available commercially.

If you make something decent, think of a good presentation and find
a publisher ....

   You can't, not unless you engage in certain practices that would
invalidate your license agreement. The Net Yaroze was designed not to
compete with the professional tools. There are quite a few members who
have expressed their desire to be able to hand out a few CDs to their
friends, and the bottom line is, "Don't hold you breath waiting for
that opportunity." Many professionals would be quite peeved that they
spent tens of thousands for their tools, and hundreds of thousands for
their licenses, to be competing against yaroze games.
   Don't get me wrong, I wish we all could do this, but it is not
going to happen.
