VitaShell v1.70 – Major Update Released!
TheFloW is back yet again with another update for the most widely used homebrew in the VITA scene, VitaShell. This is a major update, and adds more welcomed features and bug fixes to enhance overall application quality.
What’s VitaShell?
VitaShell is a multi-purpose file manager that provides a GUI for file management. Being one of the most widely used homebrews in the scene, it allows you to do various things such as installing vpk applications, transferring files via FTP or USB, open a plethora of media files, and view/edit text among other major things such as mounting hard drives/flash drives as a storage device for PS TV/VITA TV.
Change-log:
- Added QR Code scanner and file downloader by cxziaho (press L+R to open the camera).
- Added option in ‘More->’ to open applications in decrypted mode (bypass PFS). Thanks to frangarcj.
- Added ability to mount sd2vita and psvsd as USB device.
- Fixed bug where ‘imc0:’ could not be mounted if the Memory Card was not available.
- Fixed bug where accessing the settings menu crashed if there was no Memory Card available.
- Fixed bug where automatic USB connection was not blocked, after leaving and resuming VitaShell. PS TV will now always open FTP when pressing SELECT.
With this update, installing VPKs has been easier than ever before. All you need to do is Press L + R, point your camera towards a QR Code (as long as the URL ends in .vpk format), and sit back and let the installation take place. Now you also have the option to mount sd2vita and psvsd as a USB device. This is incredibly handy considering how ridiculously expensive those memory cards are.
In previous releases, imc0: could not be mounted without a memory card inserted. While it would be still be accessible via PC, it was unable to mounted on VitaShell. This is no longer an issue and has been fixed. There are also other features/bug fixes which make the app feel a lot more stable than it ever was.
Download:
PS, if you have an internet connection, you can update straight through VitaShell itself. If not, you can download it via the GitHub link below.
yay just tried it
worked like a charm
cant connect psvsd over usb. still get an error 🙁
Works fine for me.
mounted as ux0 without a memory card inserted? weird.
U gotta change the USB device to Sd2vita
si what dee said konni…
still get error 0x80244112. but usb on normal memory card works fine.
All I get is “Please insert a microSD” I have a psvsd and it’s selected in the settings.
Who here has psvsd that works over usb with Vitashell. I get “Please insert a microSD” like felipus.
i do i had to change setting to psvd
Hehe, just finished reading the article and there’s an update to 1.71.
And now there’s already 1.72. 😉
Where can i found qr for download vpk
Love the auto update feature , mounted uma0 like magic lots of love here!
Anyone else having storage issues on USB? My “system use” allocation is far higher than it should be. I tested this on 2 devices. Nothing left over or unaccounted for. When I plug the drives into a PC the space used up for “system use” isn’t reflected.
TheFlow is on fire. Download 1.73, should fix your problems.
Unfortunately I still have this “system use” issue on 1.74. Anyone have any ideas?
Is it possible to install Vitashell to ur0 without any issues, so vitashell can used without any card? If so how do you go about doing so, I haven’t seen any info about it.
I agree, can @theFlow help us or team xyz so we can boot vita phat straight to sd2vita like MLTHaku (with just sd2vita inserted and no sony mmc just boot straight to mlthaku and there it goes, your vita boots up even without the sony mmc) . mlthaku is nice but the system version is only 3.60 henkaku-8, I really hope @joel16 you can help us reach the devs. thanks for all the hard work @theflow @teamxyz @yifanlu and the rest of the hard working devs!
