So, as some of you might have seen on my twitter, I've been working on an alternative to UVL for about a week now.

Today, with menu support finally working, I'm releasing beta builds for VHL and a version of psp2shell modified to launch homebrew with the start button. There may still be many issues, as the loader is still in beta.

I would also like to take this opportunity to define some minimal standards for homebrew packaging and layout so we can have a single uniform format for menus to use. I'll be creating a separate thread for that discussion soon.

Back to VHL, the source code can be found at:

Vita Homebrew Loader
PSP2SHELL (by coldbird, ported by Yosh) with homebrew loading support
libVHL (Library to configure and control VHL from a homebrew menu or app)

And a full build is available (linked above).

Things working:

Homebrew loading
Menus

Things to do:

Plugin support
Automatic object and memory management
Stability improvements

Updated the link, this version ought to work, despite the 'Exit' in the corner.

A new build of VHL is available, along with a new build for psp2shell which fixes the black screen on return from homebrew bug. Additionally, all logging to console has been completely disabled in this build, resulting in a massive speed up!

For normal people (logging disabled in order to increase speed), latest complete build with modified PSP2SHELL (linked above). For homebrew developers (logging for homebrew enabled, may be slower depending on the homebrew).

Lua Player Plus is a multiplatform LUA interpreter currently available on PSP (lpp-c++ / lpp-plugin), 3DS (lpp-3ds) and PSVITA (lpp-vita).
At current stage, it’s good to make 2D games and apps but final goal is to provide a complete set of tools to make any kind of projects and make them easily portable towards consoles (lpp-3ds and lpp-vita for example both use a similar code syntax).

Features:
– GPU rendering support.
– FTP server for fast scripts debug.
– Controls and touch support.
– Alpha blending support.
– Native support to BMP and JPG images.
– Built-in script selector menu for multi-homebrews loading.
– I/O functions support.
– Arithmetical functions support (mathlib).
– Minor functions support (Like battery ones).

Full feature list:
* 333MHz and 444MHz support
* Configurable screen size
* Configurable screen smoothing (new feature)
* Configurable controls
* Save state support
* Frame limiter
* Frame skipping
* Screenshot support
* Configurable vsync
* Configurable FPS counter
* Configurable sound output

A simple homebrew for testing the keys on the Vita

Someone had contacted me a week or two ago asking if there was any key tester homebrew for the Vita yet. Unfortunately, I don't remember who this was, but I did find the time to create it for him.

So, to that person, here you go.
Press keys one at a time and it should display in the middle of the screen which key it detected ( if any )

VitaKeyTester v1.0.1
Renamed project to VitaButtonTester since it has nothing to do with Vita private keys
Fixed exit combo
Updated coordinates of text on screen

VitaButtonTester v1.0.2
Added left and right analog support
Entered into the Revitalize homebrew competition

Complete redesign
Added proper analog measurement
Added front and rear touch panel detection
