User guide

Details

Requirements for HD resolution modes:

• On normal PS Vita, Sharpscale is required.
• On PSTV there are no special requirements.

Limitations of Vita AVC decoding hardware:

• AVC decoder is not fast enough to decode 1920x1080@60FPS stream.
• Please use 1920x1080@30FPS instead.

New options

Notes

Path to all Moonlight configuration data has been changed from ux0:data/moonlight to ux0:user/00/savedata/GRVA00010.

You have to open that folder with Triangle > open decrypted in VitaShell before doing any manual operations with it.

On normal Vita, Sharpscale is required to use this application. Unlock framebuffer size option in Sharpscale config app must be set to on.

Known issues

UI is not scaled properly in 1280x720 and 1920x1080 modes so it will appear small, especially on normal Vita screen.
