  • Added on screen keyboard support
  • Audio stream can now be continued with the screen off
  • Audio stream can now be continued with application suspended
  • Moonlight stream will now not disconnect when you suspend application
  • DS4 touchpad on PSTV will now work in direct input mode (full touchscreen simulation)
  • Bluetooth keyboard support
  • Touchscreen/touchpad (DS4) input has been reworked. All timeframes have been adjusted. It is now as close as possible to laptop touchpad. You can use following gestures:

    • Tap: left mouse button click (recognized on release)
    • First finger hold, second finger tap: right mouse button click (recognized on release of second finger)

  • Fixed all issues related to touch input (such as special keys being accidentaly recognized when moving cursor)
  • Implemented proper AVC decoder flushing on stream resume
  • Various minor optimizations

Details and limitations

Please read this before asking questions!

1. Requirements for HD resolution modes on normal Vita and PSTV.

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

2. Limitations of Vita AVC decoding hardware:

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

3. About new options:

• Resolution modes:
  • 960x540, 960x544 -> Vita/PSTV display resolution set to 960x544
  • 1280x540, 1280x720 -> Vita/PSTV display resolution set to 1280x725
  • 1920x1080 -> Vita/PSTV display resolution set to 1920x1088

Application restart is required to apply stream resolution settings!

• Enable BGM mode: When set to on, system will continue audio stream playback even when application is suspended

Application restart is required to apply this option!

• Disable system suspend: Disable automatic system suspend feature.
• Disable screen dimming: Disable automatic screen dimming feature.

• Special keys: Open keyboard
  • When this special key is pressed, on-screen keyboard will be opened

• This version does not replace v0.8.0. You will have to do clean reinstall manually.

Current issues

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

Coming in the future

• Full bluetooth mouse support

Config

• 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.
