I thought they always needed to be in their respective folders, not in the SAVEDATA one.

Believe Acid added that for older style of exploits and such initially similar to ARK where it has ARK_01234 with 99% of our files.

This feature scans for ISO and PBP files inside savedata folders, which is an obsolete method of injecting games and homebrew via (Q)CMA on PS Vita.

If it's obsolete, then why wasn't it removed? Anyway, the repo should tell what does this feature do.

Because it's easier to not do anything than to remove the feature and test that nothing has broken.

tldr: I'm too lazy to remove it.

Also technically speaking, you can and should be able to use ARK on OFW PS Vita with no native hacks, where this feature does become needed.

I want to keep my PS Vita modded and I didn't even knew this setting was for unmodded ones, even though it also works in modded ones.
