QuickLaunch Installer is now made in Lua Player Plus.

Originally created by 1upus. QuickLaunch Installer allows you to customize the quick menu shortcuts. v1.4 has 6 User customizable slots and 1 preset slot.

Installation

Just install the VPK and data files and select from the pre-made selections, which include the following:

Selections will be written, and Vita will need to restart.

User guide

Customization

Customization can now be done within the application. Simply press Square to edit the selections.

Further customization can be done on a Windows PC. Old batch method is still available.

Edit Menu Customization

Customization can now be done within the Edit Menu. Simply press Square to view the available selections. Any custom images should be placed in ux0:/data/qlinstaller and labelled using the Title ID.

Edit Menu first scans the ux0:/data/qlinstaller/zimg folder for a PNG with the same Title ID. If not found, it will then scan to see if it's a HomeBrew or PS Vita game/application. If Homebrew game/app, Startup.png will be used. If PS Vita game, custom-0X.png file will be used.

There are 3 customizable PNG options to choose from. Press Triangle to sort cycle through them. Images can be replaced with User created ones if needed.

Customization (Old Method)

Known issues

Crashes can occur in the Edit Menu. In some cases, it's best to re-install/extract the data files if the Edit Menu does not open.
Images on Main Menu are stretched but are not in Edit Menu - This is normal and is due to a limitation with LPP-Vita.
Images on Main Menu are small or are too large - Most common "startup.png" files are sized at 280 by 158, so any file smaller or larger than that will be in or out of bounds.
