Vitox 0.2 (alpha)

Second alpha release of Vitox, a PS Vita runtime for Xbox Series X|S (Developer Mode). Install it the same way as 0.1 (see the README). Updating from 0.1 keeps your games, saves and settings.

Games

• WipEout 2048 is now playable. Its Game Mode menu only reacts to touch; Vitox now runs the Vita's own touch-gesture module, so tapping a mode with the touch cursor works.
• Killzone: Mercenary now boots and reaches the campaign without crashing (fixed two crashes: texture formats the Xbox graphics driver can't use are converted, and a video-scaling read past the end of guest memory). Textures are still corrupted in game: the same glitches upstream Vita3K has on PC.
• Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X now boots and is playable (camera support added; Vitox reports that no camera is connected).
• Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time now boots to an in-game "signed out of PSN" notice. Known issue: pressing OK reopens the same notice.
• Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight added to the compatibility list as playable.
• Nearly 200 additional system functions are now handled, which these games needed to start.

Fixes

• Fixed the buzzing sound at the start of some games. New game threads got stacks filled with the byte 0xCC; games that played audio from an uninitialised buffer produced a square-wave buzz. Stacks are now zero-filled.

App

• Settings > Library > USB Install Folder: choose the folder on your USB drive that the + installer searches, instead of the whole drive.
• Touch cursor: press L3 in game to show a cursor that simulates the touch screen; move it with the left stick and press A to tap.
• About now shows the release version (0.2).
• Package files renamed: Vitox_0.2_x64.msix with Vitox.exe inside. The package identity is unchanged, so this installs as an update to 0.1.

Download

vitox-0.2.zip contains:

Windows Defender note: some downloads of 0.1 were flagged as Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml. That's a machine-learning false positive for new, self-signed packages; the zip contains no scripts and scans clean with current definitions. If Defender warns you, you can safely allow it.

Please report bugs in Issues (game name, title ID and what happened).
