Firestar is a cross-platform Java-based mod manager for WipEout 2048, which runs on a desktop/laptop computer and aims to allow easy installation of mods with very little hassle. It is compatible with both real PSVita hardware, as well as emulators.
The program acts as a GUI frontend to Sony's psp2psarc tool, automatically dumping and then patching game assets so that players can install them with the Repatch kernel plugin.
