AdvRemap plugin – Assign Macros to your Vita’s buttons!
Ever played a game in which you had to mash a lot of buttons for some combo? If so, you’re not alone! Developer “ShadowPrince” on Github has released a plugin for us all that does that.
What’s AdvRemap?
AdvRemap is a plugin à la MacroFire for the PSP that allows you to map button combos to a single button. Available buttons are all front buttons, 4 analogue stick directions and the back touch panel. The back touch panel feature is particularly interesting as some retail games (and most homebrew) forget it even exists and don’t really use it, so it’s a good candidate for combos. If you use the back panel, make sure you hold your Vita correctly tho; I’m sure you don’t want you Vita to go haywire…
Great! How do I use it?
Install the VPK by installing it via VitaShell after downloading it from GitHub. You get a GUI app to change app specific settings to your heart’s content. Simply press ‘TRIANGLE’ to create a new entry; press the button you want to trigger the macro with and write it; press circle to enable. Full instructions are on the GitHub link provided below. Remember, this is an early release so there may be bugs; be civil and just report them! P.S: Dumped games don’t seem to work (as per official release notes) so don’t bug the dev about that! You need taiHEN enabled to use the plugin of course.
MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE THE PLUGIN IN UX0:/tai/config.txt

It is really a good plugin
Good news …
Actually I was hoping for a button-remapping-plugin. Let’s say I want to use right analog stick for accelerating and breaking in NfS – I need to map the shoulder buttons to the right stick.
Will this plugin do this ? Or if I use the stick it would just do one button press and then “release” the button ?
Would be great if the plugin can remap as well …
(Another game – Fifa – I would like to use the digipad instead of left analog stick.)
And of course I hope this will work for dumped games as well in the future.
does this plugin work with remote play Vita ==> PS4?
Nice~ now finally freedom war will be much easier with these hehe
yo
So Neat!
This says that this is a psp plugin, but is it ported to vita or was that a typo? Really what I’m curious about is if we can map controls to some of the accelerometer positions so that we can play games like Uncharted and Gravity Rush on PSTVs.
what’s wrong with the comment I wrote yesterday ???
