Release v3.5

https://github.com/cy33hc/vita-launcher/releases/tag/v3.5

• Added option to delete cached FTP downloaded roms
• Increase buffer size of config.ini values to 4k. The previous size of 256 only allowed about 25 games to be moved to the a particular category. Now you can move about 200 games.
• Fixed issues where psx games are duplicated after rescan.

Thanks a lot @cy33hc for adressing the PSX duplicates issue!

I have a 512GB SD2Vita as my primary ux0: and internally I have another 512GB via PSVSD in the 3G slot - uma0 I'd like to be able to have games from uma0:app/ show in the Vita category for launching if possible. Any ideas? @cy33hc

[Release] v3.6
https://github.com/cy33hc/vita-launcher/releases/tag/latest

• Add option to apply Bilinear Filters to icons. This is enabled by default and can be change in the Global Settings.
• Add support to launch Game Maker Studio games via YoYo Launcher (NEW). Thx to @Rinnegatamante for this awesome app.
• Add support for scanning Game Maker Studio games from FTP Server. Like support for ROMS, update the "roms_path" of GMS category with "ftp0:" prefix.
• Add feature to auto-install "Adrenaline Launcher", "YoYo Launcher" (NEW). These are custom bubbles required by Vita-Launcher to launch games without bubbles.

I have my Vita since 6 days and i really Like your Launcher, great Work.

2 Questions:
What can we do with the Category Icons ? I See you have Icons for all Type of systems, but where are These Icons used (for example SNES, Megadrive etc).?

Ist there a way to Change the Vita and PSP Game Covers ? So we can use Pics of the original Covers ?

Basic if you care for PSP/PS1, RetroArch, N64, GMS games, you can install the various emulators like Adrenaline, RetroAarch, DaedalusX64, YoYo Loader etc... But this requires you to go to each of the various emulators to start your games.

This app will allow you to boot into all of those games from one place. I made some videos, but they are pretty old but it can give you some idea.

Go to my github page. I have some of the video links there.

Thanks but I know that i can Link games for Emus with your Launcher, i already configured this. I wondered where the console Icons where used because i had the Theme with the Tabs selected. Now with Folder View, i See the Category Icons.

And the other question?
Can we Change the Cover Pictures for the Vita and PSP Games ? A Option that we can Change These Like the Retroarch Games Covers, would be nice.
Thanx

Ok. I misunderstood the question. The default icons are in the ux0:app/SMLA00001/icons folder. You can customize it by editing the location of custom Category icon in the Category Settings. Hope I understood your question.

As for custom Vita/PSP icons, I can add a custom path. I think somebody already request that in github.

That would be great

@cy33hc any News regarding the custom Vita and PSP Covers?

 

[cy33hc]

I am busy on new Vita Ftp Client project. Haven't looked at this yet.

 

[xoULIox]

Is it possible to add an Option that we can scroll through the Games and category lists with the touchscreen?

Great Work.
In the notes you did Not mention that custom Vita Covers also working.
First i thought PSP Covers does Not Work but now i read that the Cover Files musst have the Name of the ISO. Later i will rename them.
