VitaOS

A modern home screen for the PS Vita. VitaOS puts your games, films, music, apps and photos behind one fast, good-looking menu, with a PS5-style feel on the handheld you already own.

VitaOS is free and open source (GPLv3). It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. PlayStation and PS Vita are trademarks of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

You need a Vita running HENkaku or Enso, with VitaShell.

1. Download VitaOS.vpk from Releases.
2. Install it with VitaShell.
3. Open VitaOS from its bubble.

With the small vitaos_ps.suprx plugin:

• the Vita starts in VitaOS at power-on (turn it off in Settings > VitaOS > Start at boot, or hold L while powering on to skip all plugins once)
• pressing PS inside VitaOS goes back to its Home tab, the way HOME works on a Switch
• a game you started from VitaOS brings you back to VitaOS when it ends

Without it, the Vita behaves as usual.

1. Copy vitaos_ps.suprx to ur0:tai/.
2. Add these two lines to ur0:tai/config.txt:

   *main
   ur0:tai/vitaos_ps.suprx
   

   If there is already a *main line, add only the second line under it.
3. Restart the Vita.

VitaOS finds everything on the card by itself. It looks again every time it starts.

Retro games need RetroArch installed. N64 games need DaedalusX64.

With VitaSDK installed:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

This produces VitaOS.vpk. For the plugin, build the same way in plugin/.
