{{#seo: |title=Vita Homebrew Apps (Plugins) - GameBrew |title_mode=append |image=vitagrafix2.png |image_alt=VitaGrafix }} VitaGrafix is a taiHEN plugin that allows you to change resolution and FPS cap of PS Vita games (to get better visuals, higher FPS or longer battery life). VitaGrafix was originally, in it’s early days, based on [https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/vitaRescale vitaRescale] by Rinnegatamante, with hardcoded patches only for a dozen of games. The project has evolved quite a bit since then. It is now an independent taiHEN plugin with custom interpreter to easily support user-made patches. The official [https://github.com/Electry/VitaGrafixPatchlist patchlist] contains support for over 50 games. It patches eboot.bin executable on game start-up, allowing us to alter game's graphics initialization and runtime code. Because each game does this differently, per-game patches are required. '''Note:''' Per-game patches are required. Some are easy to patch, others plainly impossible. ==Installation== Download latest VitaGrafix.suprx and [[IoPlus Vita|ioPlus.skprx]] (v0.1). If ux0:tai/config.txt file does exist: *Copy VitaGrafix.suprx and ioPlus.skprx to ux0:tai/ directory. *Open ux0:tai/config.txt in a text editor and add following lines to the file *KERNEL ux0:tai/ioPlus.skprx *ALL ux0:tai/VitaGrafix.suprx Otherwise (e.g. if you are using SD2VITA mounted as ux0): *Copy VitaGrafix.suprx and ioPlus.skprx to ur0:tai/ directory. *Open ur0:tai/config.txt in a text editor and add following lines to the file. *KERNEL ur0:tai/ioPlus.skprx *ALL ur0:tai/VitaGrafix.suprx Then create ux0:data/VitaGrafix/ folder. Download patchlist.txt from [https://github.com/Electry/VitaGrafixPatchlist here] and move it to the folder. Create and open ux0:data/VitaGrafix/config.txt file. Add games to the config you wish to apply patches for (refer to your patchlist.txt). ==User guide== ===Resources=== * [https://github.com/Electry/VitaGrafix/wiki/ VitaGrafix wiki]. * [https://github.com/Electry/VitaGrafixPatchlist Official patchlist and compatibility table]. * [[VitaGrafix Configurator]]. ===Example config.txt=== Below is a config.txt example that can be used as a guide for your game. <pre> # This is a comment. # The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II [JP 1.03] [PCSG00354] # Game title ID IB=640x352 # Set IB to 960x544 or less FPS=60 # FPS value can be selected from 60, 30, 20 MSAA=4x # select MSAA from 4x, 2x, 1x (no AA) # Set default options for all games [MAIN] FB=960x544 IB=960x544 FPS=60 MSAA=4x </pre> ===Available options=== The format for config.txt is OPTION=VALUE, each on a separate line. {| class="wikitable" style="width: 900px;" !style="width: 10%;"| Option !style="width: 40%;"|Description !style="width: 40%;"|Valid values !style="width: 10%;"|Default |- !rowspan="2"|ENABLED |rowspan="2"|Enables/disables game modifications (and OSD). |ON: 1, on or true |rowspan="2"|ON |- |OFF: 0, off or false |- !rowspan="2"|OSD |rowspan="2"|Enables/disables the small overlay that is shown during first few seconds when starting a game. |ON: 1, on or true |rowspan="2"|ON |- |OFF: 0, off or false |- !rowspan="2"|LOG |rowspan="2"|Enables/disables logging (to ux0:data/VitaGrafix/log.txt file). |ON: 1, on or true |rowspan="2"|ON |- |OFF: 0, off or false |- !rowspan="2"|FB |rowspan="2"|Framebuffer resolution. |ON:960x544, 720x408, 640x368 |rowspan="2"|OFF |- |OFF: 0, off or false |- !rowspan="2"|IB |rowspan="2"|Internal buffer resolution. |ON: WxH (where: 1 <= W <= 960, 1 <= H <= 544).<br>If patch supports multiple res. (e.g. dyn. res. scaling) use: WxH,WxH,... |rowspan="2"|OFF |- |OFF: 0, off or false |- !rowspan="2"|FPS |rowspan="2"|Frames per second cap (upper limit). |ON: 60, 30, 20 |rowspan="2"|OFF |- |OFF: 0, off or false |- !rowspan="2"|MSAA |rowspan="2"|Multisample anti-aliasing. |ON: 4x, 2x, 1x (no AA) |rowspan="2"|OFF |- |OFF: 0, off or false |} Tips: *If you leave some options out, the plugin will use their default values. *If patch supports multiple IB res. and you don't specify them all, the last WxH will be used for those that would go after. It is therefore perfectly fine to just use IB=960x544 to set them all to 960x544 (e.g. to disable dynamic res. scaling) in such situations. ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/vitahomebrews/vitagrafix3.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/vitahomebrews/vitagrafix4.png ==Changelog== '''v5.0.2''' * Fixed a bug where "Your game version is not supported" message would not appear if you had a different game version to that of a patch. '''v5.0.1''' * Fixed bug where last IB res. in config.txt was not propagated, causing crash in multi-res. games (e.g. those with dynamic scaling such as Wipeout 2048). * Added support for manual redirection to alternate patch file (aka. !USE directive in patchlist.txt). '''v5.0.0''' *Vastly improved UX (UI, logging, error reporting, etc...). *Rewritten parser/interpreter from scratch - revamped patchlist.txt syntax (compatible with v4.x patches). *Added support for per-self headers in config.txt. **Now you can use separate options for each game in "collections" with single Title ID (e.g. GoW 1/2). *Added internal log buffer - reduced game startup times due to I/O stall. *Added config.txt option to disable logging altogether. *Added support for 20 FPS option in config.txt. *Added support for individual per-game patchlists (e.g. ux0:data/VitaGrafix/patch/PCSF00001.txt). *Added support for inline comments on the same line as code. *Bug fixes. '''v4.1.1''' *Fixed bug where [MAIN] options were ignored in some occasions. *Minor UI QoL improvements. *Config/patchlist parsing is now case-insensitive. *[MAIN] accepts same options as GAME section - the latter takes precedence if both are present. You can set your FB/IB/FPS/etc.. in [MAIN], those will be used as default values. *Added support for Arm A2 MOVW encoding (a2_mov) in patchlist.txt. '''v4.0''' * Hardcoded patches were removed, which means, updates to VitaGrafix plugin in the future will only bring new feature support / bug fixes. * All game related stuff, new game support, fixes, etc... will be available here: VitaGrafixPatchlist (changelog). * Download patchlist.txt (or make your own) and place it in ux0:data/VitaGrafix/.
