The Not-So-Official What Features Could Improve TN-X Thread

Post by reprep » Wed Apr 22, 2015 7:41 pm

As the title says, this thread isn't an official TN-X request thread. I use TN-X daily, it is the best way to play ps1 games on a handheld (VITA) or on a console (PSTV) in my opinion. Even though it is much better than the Vita's official emulator, i would still like some more features to make it perfect. Who knows, maybe TN comes back or releases the source code, or someone can make another ps1 loader from scratch so he/she can use the ideas here.

-R1+L1 and R2+L2 combination for button remapping:
TN-X has a great built-in button remapper. It is better than the official remapper as it can even remap the analog sticks in analog controller mode. This is impossible on Vita's official emulator. TN-X button remapper lets you assign every button to every button but it lacks R1+L1 and R2+L2 button combinations to be assigned to a single button. This is possible on PSP and Vita's official emulator. These combinations are essential for some games, like Spyro 2 and 3 (You have to hold R1-2 L1-2 to let sparx point you to the nearest treasure, you could get away with holding 2 buttons if these remaps were possible) or Driver 2 (R2+L2 lets you look back instantly and it is very crucial to gameplay, it is great to assign it to a single button like i always do in PSP)

-Sorting games in a way you want or at least sort them in alphabetical order:
Not a big problem if you have a few games, but if you have over 10-20 it might become annoying not to be able to sort the games.

-Checking the path of the game before loading savestates:
Right now when you load a savestate and if you changed the EBOOT/FBOOT.PBP of the game in some way after you created the savestate (change the path of the game, rename it from FBOOT.PBP to EBOOT.PBP etc.) the save loads but you instanly get a memory card error, then return back to LiveScreen and can't use TN-X, TN-V again unless you force shutdown your Vita. A check to confirm the existence of game executable and if it doesn't exist an error popup like "game executable couldn't be found" before loading the savestate would be great.

These are just suggestions. As i said, i already think TN-X is much better than official emulators of PSP and Vita with the extra features it has.

Support for backgrounds and SND0.at3? Ability to choose your PS1 eboot directory (helpful if you use game categories plugins with TNV).

TN-X could really use support for 144x80 icon0 images. It squishes everything down into an 80x80 frame and it looks kinda bad if you ask me. I second support for pic1.png, snd0.at3, and icon1.pmf support. I like things to be flashy lol. Im still hoping we can get ark ported to the ps1 exploit so i can use my beloved ONEMenu for it :D

80x80 is the traditional icon0 for ps1 games on the psp and PS3 which is probably why that's the only support currently.

Very true. However in my opinion the best feature of custom ps1 eboots is the ability to add custom icons and pic1's. It would be great to add support for that! :D
