# 🎮 VitaPad

Use your PlayStation Vita as USB gamepad with front/rear touchpad controls.

## ✨ Features

This is an improved version of the [vitastick plugin by xerpi](https://github.com/xerpi/vitastick) with added functionality, improved code readability, and some major changes that increase reliability and usability.

- Simple and elegant interface
- Captures touchpad control input (L2/R2 & L3/R3)
- Allows custom placement of individual touchpad controls
- Enable or disable active gamepad screen
- Reduces clock frequencies when active to reduce power consumption
- Disables use of power and PS buttons while gamepad functionality is active (this allows the gamepad to continue working as necessary)

## Fixes 🔨 -> JesDev12U

- Bad position for D-pad buttons (arrows and X Y O Sqare)
- Modified default X Y for L2 R2 L3 R3 Buttons
- Modified `ksceKernelCpuDcacheAndL2WritebackRange` to `ksceKernelDcacheCleanRange`. The `ksceKernelCpuDcacheAndL2WritebackRange` is deprecated and generates input lag.

## 🚀 Installation

1. Download the plugin and VPK from the [releases page](https://github.com/carlelieser/vitapad/releases).

   ```
