A fast and practical homebrew application for the PlayStation Vita that allows you to download and install .vpk packages directly from the internet, without needing a PC, USB cables, or FTP transfers!
Features
Direct Download & Install: Enter any direct HTTPS/HTTP URL to a .vpk file and it will be downloaded and installed seamlessly.
QR Code Scanner: Use the Vita's rear camera to scan QR codes containing VPK URLs and download them instantly.
Quick Bookmarks: Access a preset list of popular homebrew apps (like VitaDeploy, VitaShell, AutoPlugin II, Adrenaline) and download them with a single click.
File Manager: View, manage, install, or delete previously downloaded .vpk files located in ux0:download/.
Requirements / Best Experience
For the maximum experience, it is highly recommended to install the PasteUnlock plugin by GrapheneCt.
By default, the PS Vita's keyboard (IME) does not allow you to paste copied text into homebrew applications. This plugin unlocks the paste button on the keyboard, making it extremely easy to copy and paste URLs.
PasteUnlock GitHub: https://github.com/GrapheneCt/PasteUnlock
Tip: You can also easily install this plugin directly from your console using AutoPlugin II.
How to grab and paste download links directly on your PS Vita
Grabbing direct links without a PC is incredibly simple:
Open the official PS Vita Browser.
Navigate to the release page of the homebrew you want to download (e.g., on GitHub or brewology ecc.).
Tap and hold on the .vpk download link.
Select "Open in New Window".
The address bar will now contain the direct .vpk link. Tap the address bar and copy the full URL.
Open Vita VPK Installer Direct, select "ENTER URL MANUALLY", and Paste the URL using the unlocked paste button!
