VitaPad++ released – GekiHen contest
The GekiHEN contest has almost come to an end after being extended by a few weeks last January. The postponing of the end date from January 27th to March 19th has brought along a lot of awesome homebrew, including various games, that’s made our PSVita more useful! VitaPad++ is one of the last entries and it’s by developer “Arkanite”.
What’s VitaPad++?
As some of you more techy people may already thought, it’s meant to be a word play on the popular PC software “NotePad++”. This homebrew is a very robust text editor that also allows you to write code in it so it’s an IDE in an indirect fashion. It includes the following features:
- A simple to use touch interface
- Ability to edit and save documents (duh)
- A simple file manager to open files with
- Ability to have a Status HUD
- Various options to tweak your experience (some are not finished yet!)
- An included readme file that gives you detailed instructions
- A different keyboard that you will be able to theme in future releases
It’s quite important to note that this software is not yet finished and not all features work yet (such as the search function).
What’s planned? How do I get it?
Various features are planned such as a Search function, style changer and much much more. You can read all about the promised features in the readme file which is opened automatically on the first run. To get it, simply download the VPK and install it on your device via VitaShell (it requires unsafe access so only get it from a trusted source).

Hah no one can be first!
First! To reply on your comment.
Its name is a little confusing because there is another homebrew with a similar name called “Vitapad” by rinnegatamante
Application has been renamed ‘Notepad++ (VE)’.
Changes will be applied on the GekiHen website shortly.

Nice Work! 😀
This im liking Great work @Arkanite
The CIA control this version, too?
bluetooth keyboard support? i don’t have one atm
Judging by the thumbnail I thought it looked more like Sublime with its default colorscheme, but on second inspection the interface doesn’t look that similar.
While text editing is nice to have and all, syntax highlighting for programming languages is probably a little useless, given you’re unlikely to edit source code while on the Vita. Unless someone’s made a compiler or interpreter(s) that run on the Vita itself, in which case where are the posts about them? 😮
Code on the go.
I guess that’s the point of it.
It can be useful.
You could actually create a LUA interpreter program on the Vita, with such a good text editor. Imagine completing your code, open interpreter, check errors, close, back to text, fix, repeat. The workflow could get much faster with such an app. Not considering that you don’t have to carry a PC with you.
nice.

I have creative control, but yes in the end i answer to the CIA. 😛
@geos
No bluetooth keyboard support.
I’ll need to get my hands on a BT keyboard before i can look into that.
Nice idea though 🙂
Please learn what IDE means…
