VitaPad 1.1 released. Use your PS Vita as a controller for your PC (now with Linux support)
Developer Rinnegatamante just released an update to his tool VitaPad, which lets you use your PS Vita as a controller for your PC. VitaPad requires a hackable PS Vita (that is, a PS Vita running on firmware 3.60).
The biggest update with version 1.1 is that VitaPad now supports Linux. Additionally, the developer tweaked a few things to improve the experience.
The full changelog (From the developer):
Client:
- Added Linux support (big thanks to nyorem).
- Added possibility to change controls binding by editing the XML file even during execution.
Server:
- Now the application uses a safe eboot.
General
- Added mouse emulation through touchscreen (mouse movement) and retrotouch (mouse clicks).
Download VitaPad 1.1

To install & run, please note that you will need to have a PS Vita running firmware 3.60 with the HENkaku hack. To install HENkaku, please check our PS Vita CFW page.

Great!! Que aplicación mas util! Gracias.
Heres an sample video of what it looks like if anyone want to see how it works
It is direct input or Ximput?
It’s neither, it simply sends keyboard inputs (which doesn’t work in some games). This should change in the future, though
wish usb support 🙂
What’s the name of this game in the picture?
God Eater
The Linux version won’t launch at all for me. Is there something I’m missing?
How do you set this up on Windows?
Yeah I don’t get it. Instructions say intall vpk… Okay. Run the app… Okay. Open Vitapad on PC… Wait, what? How? There’s no PC program, just a vpk.
