A new update has been released for one of the most valid alternatives to the Libretro retroArch frontend on the PlayStation Vita console , known as Emu4VitaPlus .

Emu4VitaPlus offers a wide range of features, including overlays and shaders, support for numerous emulation cores, and compatibility with RetroArch romsets .

In this new release, the ROM database has been split between FBA and MAME, making management more organized and specific to each emulator.

Additionally, the ability to bind multiple keys to a single function has been introduced, improving control customization. Finally, several bugs have been fixed to ensure a more stable and fluid experience.

Run the command ./compile_shaders.py. You need to search for the file psp2cgc.exeon the Internet.

Routes

Previews

The program will automatically search for a JPG or PNG image with the same name as the ROM in the directory .previews, located under the ROM directory. If it is not found, it will search the screenshots saved in the instant state.

Cheats

The program will look for the file .chtwith the same name as the ROM in the following directories:

In the ROM directory.
In the directory .cheatsbelow the ROM directory.
In the directory ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS/[core]/cheats
The first valid option found will be used.

Rescues

Save files will be stored in the path ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS/[core]/savefiles/[rom].

BIOS

The corresponding BIOS must be copied to the directory ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS/system. This step is essential for proper operation.

Compatibility with RetroArch romsets

Emu4Vita++ will attempt to read files .lplin the following directories:

ux0:data/EMU4VITAPLUS/playlists
The path indicated in the entry 'playlist_directory'insideux0:data/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
ux0:data/retroarch/playlists
The label and path information contained in the files .lplwill be used to display the ROM name and thumbnail.

Reporting Problems

If you want to report a problem, please indicate the version and core you are using, as well as the operation you performed before the problem occurred.

If the problem occurs while playing the game, load the ROM.
If the program crashes, find the file psp2dmpin the directory ux0:/data/and upload it for analysis.
