I had to check the DISC_ID with the PSP titleId prefixes.

this is great,i hope this fix will stay in future updates,also see how tidy it looks now:

Great. I've commited the code and it will stay.

this is great,your launcher has breathe new life into the vita,it's amazing i may use it for PS TV but not sure about the touch controls but my priority is the Vita handheld.

ok here is the final request if you can in the future please add the option for user to edit & add new emulators,if this can't be done then can you please add

SNK - Neo Geo Pocket Color
NEC - TurboGrafx 16
GCE - Vectrex
Handheld Electronic Game this is G&W (game & watch)
MAME-2000
MAME-2003plus


also thanks again for your commitment & constant updates,the launcher has come along way in about a week,it would take other Devs weeks maybe months to reach this level with their apps. you are a top Dev for sure. ;)

i just realized something. because my PSP iso are in uma0 the launcher doesn't seem to see it.
Thx for doing that test. I didn't realize the Adrenaline allowed games to be put on other devices. I'll make the pspemu folder configurable.

New release to address this. You will need to modify the "ux0:data/SMLA00001/config.ini" file and change the pspemu_location.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Release 1.6

  • Add ability to give an alternative name to the categories. In the "config.ini" file, there is a new setting called "alt_title" that you can modify.
  • Add ability to choose the pspemu location. In the "ux0:data/SMLA00001/config.ini" file, there is a new setting called "pspemu_location". Default set to "ux0 : pspemu". You can change to "uma0 : pspemu" if you store you ISO/EBOOT on the uma0 device.
  • Add a couple of new Retro categories for TurboGrafx 16, Vectrex, G&W, MAME-2000 and MAME-2003

@cy33hc

i will test later today,this is awesome update. since we now can edit categories names i guess adding some is the only thing we can't do ? also regarding the HIDE feature is it only for hiding roms or can we also hide categories i tried to hide a category but didn't work ? i have few categories that i will never use like utilities,originals & ports so i would like to remove all together is this possible ?

finally is it possible i can move adrenaline,pfba,psnes,daedalusX64 & retroarch from homebrew category to the emulators category which is currently empty ?


i just tested the brilliant styles you created & thanks for the video tutorial :).

@cy33hc I love the idea of this, I have been trying to install this on my Vita Slim since version 1.4. I can never get it to run, always crashes at the beginning of the scan even on 1.6. I followed your video, installed and ran bubble manager, plus the launcher/vitalauncher vpks. Always error c2-12828-1, are there any plugins that do not play nice with your launcher? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! I include a screenshot of the dump file, sorry it's not the best photo.

You just need to uncheck "Show all Categories" and it will hide categories without games.

I already have a how to video to put Vita bubbles into different categories.

There is already autoboot plugin created by Rinnegatamante. Just a warning, I tried it and it caused issue for me where I had to restore the vita.

Was it in the scanning for ISO that when it crashed. I had a similar problem, and I found out that one of my PSP ISO was corrupted.

OK. I though Adrenaline is superior to RetroArch for PSX, so I didn't include it.

Just a question about PSX for RetroArch. Does RetroArch support ISO files for pcsx_rearmed core? I my ISO always crash. Or does it only support bin/cue files?

i think Retroarch is superior one for easy saving & loading of games & i had a problem with PSX game that only retroarch was able to run it. i'm not sure which game now.

i only use EBOOT.PBP i have never used any other format so can't say. sorry

saying this will your launcher support games in folders ? as all my PSX EBOOT.PBP's are in separate folders. example: PSP/GAME/CAT_PSOne Shmups/Asteroids 3D/EBOOT.PBP

Instead of creating 2 categories for PSX, I'll just give a chose to start game with either Adrenaline or RetroArch.
