While it has been a rather slow news weekend when it comes to releases of homebrew, over at our forums, developer Joel16 has once again updated his VITAident application even if this time it’s mostly a minor ‘cosmetic’ update. All information has been re-organized into better categories and display for storage and which enter button your system uses has been added.

What is VITAident?

VitaIdent is a tool in the vein of tools such as 3DSident, PSPident and PS2ident that are really cool know-all tools about your console hardware. It will tell you all sorts of information about your console like firmware and model information, battery information to the most minute detail (including temperatures and voltage) and now even tells your own PSN information, along with CEX/DEX/IDU/Debug/Tool information. It is available in both with both a GUI-based and non-GUI versions.
