[Release] Vita-Launcher v1.2 App to launch games and apps

Find in github for https://github.com/cy33hc/vita-launcher/releases.

INFO: This app requires accessing the game icons from the “ur0:/appmeta” folder therefore compiled with UNSAFE flag. Dev’s can verify the code in git.

This is a app/game launcher application.

The main purpose of this app is for users who have hundreds of games on their vita.

The psvita has limitation of 500 bubbles only, anything more is not accessible. I couldn’t find an app that served me well to manage my library of (~1600) games so I decided to create my own.

Use in conjunction with the CopyIcons app to get icons not created by psvita. Search in github for https://github.com/cy33hc/copyicons/releases

Features

  1. Add ability to luanch Adrenaline ISO and EBOOT directly within the launcher. No need to create many bubbles.
  2. Games are display in 4 categories (vita/psp/homebrew/favorites). The psp game categories looks for games starting with the gameid PSPEMU. Mainly the bubbles created with Adrenaline Bubble Manager
  3. Game caching. With hundreds of games, scanning the folders and building the list takes a long time. So a cache is built on the first scan and subsequent startup of the app reads from the cache.
  4. Favorites. With hundreds of games, it’s takes a quite a while to browse all the games to find your favorite game. Therefore I’ve implemented a feature to add a game to you favorites for easy access.
  5. Game images loaded on demand. With hundreds of games, we can’t possibly load all the game images into memory. So images are loaded on demand only and a few pages of images are cached.
  6. Last but not least, you can access you full library of games/apps. Just an FYI, I could load 1600 games/apps on my vita-tv.
  7. Add the ability to launch Retro games directly via the launcher. Includes N64,
  8. Added new categories for each of the retro cores eg. NES, SNES, GC, GBC, GBA, N64, etc…
  9. Added ability to customize the category where a game or app shows in the launcher.
  10. Add option for parental control to hide dangerous settings.
  11. Add option to change the default retro core used
  12. Add options to specify where to import roms from.
  13. Add option to change icon path location.

Vita-Launcher make some modification to the content in the Bubble with the game info before starting it.
  • Add rom filters in the ux0:data/SMLA00001/config.ini to only look for specific files in the ROMS folder. This allows the scan to skip sav file and unrelated content while scanning for games. Also you can edit the config to specify any other file extensions you want to skip.
