PS VITA / PSTV Vita Launcher v3.9.6

Vita Launcher v1.7.1
  • Add ability to rename Adrenaline PSP/PS1/PSP Mini and all RetroArch names. Bubbles will not be editable since I don't want to mess around the vita's app.db. Others are editable becuz I have my own cache.db in the ux0:data/SMLA00001 folder.
  • BUG FIX: Favorites is messed up, after the implementation for moving Games between categories. If you have issues with Favorites, delete them all and then add back again.
  • BUG FIX: After selecting to move the game to another category, the game shows up in 2 categories temporary until you restart. After restart it shows properly. This is just to fix the UI glitch after the move.
  • BUG FIX: Fix an issue when scanning for RetroArch roms, if the rom filename is too long, it corrupts the cache.db and crashes the app. This fix will skip any file whose name it too long. Filename limit is 127 chars. For those whose experiencing app crash during retroarch scan. Delete the ux0:data/SMLA00001/cache.db file and restart the app.


Vita Launcher v1.7

  • Add ability to change settings directly in the app now. Don't need to edit the config.ini from VitaShell or PC. Although you still can.
  • Add ability to hide games or apps. For bubbles, you can restore the game by removing the title id from the hidden titles section of settings.
  • Add ability to move Bubble/Adrenaline games/apps between categories. RetroArch roms cannot be moved since they depend on the retro core that's in the category of where the game reside.
  • Known issue: After modifying the category title. The LT/RT can't change categories. Just restart the app to fix it.

  • Add better RetroArch support for PSX games. Will now scan EBOOT in the pspemu/PSP/GAME folder for adrenaline. And also scan an alternative ROMS folder for disc format games like "img, bin, ccd, chd" files. Disc format games will default use RetroArch to boot the games. For EBOOT, you will be given a choose to boot with "Adrenaline" or RetroArch. Please update ux0:data/SMLA00001/config.ini to add additional disc extensions if missing.
