This update is really great, finally the Sticks work for me too
But i have a bug to reported, that already occured in version 1.0 from time to time.
The inputs that i make are sometimes "detected" to long, and so it happens that i run into enemies or stuff like that,
while i wasn´t even pressing any buttons.
Also from my experience it seems to only happen for D-Pad, and not for the analog sticks or any other buttons,
but i´m not sure with that, because i don´t use the other buttons on the vita as frequently as the Pad.
But other than that this is really great, thanks for the work you´ve already put into it^^

Awesome this will be useful in the future.

Offtopic-ish

But is there a way to use a vita as a ps3 2nd controller? i mean i tried but the closest i got to it was remote play which isnt what i was intending to do at all.

If there isnt a way to do it using the vita then would it be possible to develop homebrew to do this? just a suggestion not a request since if its possible then i better head on over to the request sticky!

I don't have a PS3 so i can't really answer to your question since i don't even know how a PSVITA is paired on a PS3, sorry.

I don't understand the retro touch, i spam random touch/movement and sometimes it do the clics i want. But if i only tap it keep left clic for highlight text

Works on none of my Steam games.
I tried with Final Fantasy 7. I mapped all the game's inputs to VitaPad's default inputs, but none of the buttons work.
I've also tried it with Rune Classic as well, and no luck, but the program itself works.
I opened notepad, pressed some buttons, and it worked.
Not sure why it doesn't work on none of my Steam game though.

Hey there, are there any plans on making a feature to be able to use this via USB? For those people like me who don't use laptops

 

[Frinse]
