This is an app/game launcher application.
The main purpose of this app is for users who have hundreds of games on their vita.
The PS Vita has a limitation of 500 bubbles only. I couldn't find an app that served me well to manage my library of games so I decided to create my own.
Use in conjuction with the CopyIcons app to get icons not created by PS Vita: https://github.com/cy33hc/copyicons
- Games are grouped into multiple categories (Vita/PSP/Homebrew/Favorites) including retro consoles like NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, N64, etc..
- Can launch all vita games, Adrenaline bubbles, and retro games without bubbles.
- Has parental controls for hiding certain settings.
- Customizable categories via configuration file.
- Favorites: With hundreds of games, it takes a quite a while to browse all the pages to find your favorite game. With Favorites, I've implemented a feature to add a game to your favorites for easy access.
- Game images load on demand: With hundreds of games, we can't possibly load all the game images into memory. Images are loaded on demand only and a few pages of images are cached.
- Last but not least, you can access your full library of games/apps. Just an FYI, I was able to load 1600 games/apps on my PlayStation TV.

To build this app, you will need to build the dependency imgui-vita2d (https://github.com/cy33hc/imgui-vita2d).
- Borrowed some audio code from ELEVENMPV
- Borrowed some code from VitaShell for the ime_dialog and net download
