whats the purpose of this homebrew?

 

Thanks. It took so much work to get those shoulder buttons colored in.

 

I've made a slight improvement to the tester. Cleaned the way directories are handled
I've made it so that touch screen input is drawn onto the onscreen vita image proportionally. So if you're touching the top right part of your screen it's drawn on the top right of the virtual vita.

For convenience I'm going to copy paste my entire index.lua but the relevant lines about the touch screen (near the very bottom) are
if(tx1 + ty1 > 0) then
Graphics.fillCircle( (tx1*( (769-189)/Scr.w) )+168+21 , (ty1*( (469-146)/Scr.h) )+150-3 ,radius, white) --the +21 and -3 is some magic to fix some unknown problem..
end;

I've only been able to test this on a vita TV using the virtual touchscreen input with a dualshock but it should work on all Vitas.
Perhaps this could be a replacement for the x1, y2, debug text output.

And suggestion, change the whitenoise audio clip to something like a piano scale ascending and descending. White noise is probably what a BROKEN vita would sound like.

I wonder if it would be possible to detect what kind of Vita is being used. If it's a original, slim, or TV. That would be cool.

 

No, I'm just messing with you

@PSSceneIsBestScene it's pretty dumb that Smoke is complaining that someone else made a button tester. First the one in this thread uses LPP and Smoke's uses the Vita SDK so it's not possible for them to be direct copies. If Smoke is really going to get upset that someone did something similar he should have gone out of his way to make something not so generic.
It's totally understandable that someone else would make something like this even if they had never seen Smoke's button tester.
