A PSVITA plugin to read a txt file walkthrough while playing a game.

Too many games, not enough time

This is part of the KyûHEN competition.

Installation

This plugin needs ioPlus Vita by CelesteBlue.

Then download walk and put the .suprx file in ux0:tai and it to your ux0:tai/config.txt.

Add it to *ALL to enable it for all games, or add a section for the titleid of the game / app you're interested in.

*KERNAL
ux0:/tai/ioplus.skprx
...
*ALL
ux0:tai/walk.suprx

Transfer your txt into the directory ux0:data/walk/TITLEID/ with the filename as walk.txt.

So the full path will be: ux0:data/walk/TITLEID/walk.txt

You can find the title id at the gamefaqs' data page, like this one.

Usage

Open a Game and then Hold Select + R Trigger to open/close the reader.

Use the D-Pad to control the viewer:

• Up - Go up a line
• Down - Go down a line
• Left - Go up 27 lines
• Right - Go down 27 lines

NOTE: The viewer doesn't pause the game, it's still running behind it! NOTE: Some lines maybe cut-off and you may need to use Left and Right to go to the next page

TODO

• Some characters are broken like ¯, U+00AF
• Bigger font / custom font
• More than one walkthrough / file per titleid
• Use Network for guides / guides API server
• detect from emulators / psp mode
• html

Tricks

Getting a FAQ from gamefaqs.com

Find a gamefaqs walkthrough you want like this one.

Open the Javascript Console.

Use this JavaScript code to get a txt file, which you can rename and put onto your vita.

(function() {
let file = new Blob([$(".faqtext").text()], {type: "application/text"});
let a = document.createElement("a"),
url = URL.createObjectURL(file);
a.href = url;
a.download = window.document.title + ".txt";
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
})()
