FAQ

Q. What can you do with gyro?

You can remap gyro direction (up, down, left, right) to right stick directions to enable gyro aim in any game.

Q. Does it save presets on a game by game basis?

Yes, you can use Profile -> Profile Management for more options.

Q. What is deadband under gyro menu?

Deadband limits gyroscope sensitivity, so smallest movements are ignored to handle shaking hands, and it is enabled by default in most vita games.

Disabling it will highly increase sensitivity of gyroscope.

Q. I forgot my custom hotkeys to open menu. How do I find it?

Open VitaShell and open the file ux0:data/reVita/HOTKEYS.ini. "Open menu=" has your hotkeys to open the plugin menu.

Q. I've set the startup delay too low on a game and now it crashes when launching it. What do I do?

Hold (Start) when launching the game. It starts the plugin in safe mode, with a blank profile.

Then load your profile, change the startup delay and save profile in profile manager.

Known issues

• Menu not opening in Adrenaline:
  • Change Adrenaline Settings > Graphics Filtering to anything else except original.
• Menu not opening:
  • Minimise app.
  • Setup config you need while on LiveArea.
  • Save it as Shared profile (Profile > Profile management > Save as Shared).
  • Go back to the game.
  • Press START+CROSS (configurable under Settings > Hotkeys) to import Shared profile.
• "Buy more RAM" error popup on menu open - means there is not enough RAM for plugin to initialise it's menu. Seems to be caused by usage of other heavy plugins, especially ucdc and PSVshell.
• Crash, when closing the menu:
  • Update reVita and ds34vita to latest versions (from github).
