Feature request: Optional Add to Home for PSP/PSX/PSN Games #416

Open aknight2015 opened 1 year ago

aknight2015 commented 1 year ago

I apologize for using the "report issue" feature for this. I'd like the adding of PSX/PSP/PSN games to the home screen to be optional. I'm probably in the minority for this one though, but I'd thought I'd at least ask. Since I have Adrenaline installed I don't really want to clutter up my home screen with non PSV games. I can't uninstall the bubble without uninstalling the game itself either.

If you don't have NoPspEmuDrm installed it will use the old adrenaline download instead, but maybe there should be a configuration option for this too. .

aknight2015 commented 1 year ago

Yeah. Imagine your home screen after installing a few vita games and a few PSP games, a few PSX games, and a few PSM games. It's gonna get cluttered. But I understand what you're saying.

I agree it should be optional, even though I prefer it to create bubbles.

In lieu of another solution, I offer you a slightly convoluted one that may please you for now:

Use https://anthe.studio/bubblestudio/ to edit your app.db file. With this web app, you can delete a bubble. It does not uninstall the software, it just removes the database entry for the bubble from your LiveArea. You can clean it up manually this way. A database restore will always return everything that you delete. You could also manually move everything to page 00000010 or above, if you don't want to be as destructive, but that is even more tedious & has proven to piss off the system sometimes & force a db refresh you didn't want.

Or maybe someone could modify the LiveArea to allow infinite pages & folders within folders? 😅

It's a temporary solution. I hope the developer of this app will implement the feature.

Well it is you can just remove nopspemudrm, of course it's not a great solution

I'm going to implement this probably as a configuration option probably

Faster way: rename ux0:pspemu/PSP to ux0:/pspemu/PSPA

Delete the game from the livearea.

Rename PSPA back to PSP .

Annoyingly page id's above 9 are used for folders. So increasing the number of pages would also break all the folders and or duplicate entries with them.

That's f'in' brilliant. I do tend to take the long way around...

Huh. That... suddenly illuminates why it was proving inconsistent & tumultuous to use that addressing space. 😅

I mean it would still be nice if it meant removing folder support for people who prefer more pages
