VitaForge is a homebrew catalog browser and package installer built for the PlayStation Vita natively in Rust, SDL2, and egui.
New
Full localization migrated to Fluent (.ftl) — English and Spanish
Native PS Vita IME (in-house on-screen keyboard, replaces the generic one)
New catalog API layer (VitaDBtoo + PKGj/NPS)
Rewritten install pipeline: BGDL, PKG parser, PBP, licensing, notifications
Settings screen with runtime language selection
3-step install progress stepper, GeForce Now–inspired
vitaGL hardware-accelerated rendering backend
Performance
Raised concurrent icon fetch limits (3→4, large 1→2) and switched the icon evictor to sort_unstable_by_key
HTTP client reuses idle connections (pool_max_idle_per_host, tcp_keepalive)
Texture upload now does a raw memcpy instead of a per-pixel float round-trip — was the main cause of dropped frames on catalog scroll
Removed the eager catalog-wide icon preload that queued hundreds of fetches behind 2-4 concurrent slots; grid lazy-loading (visible rows + one-row lookahead) now covers it
Added a low-priority background disk-cache warmer for off-screen icons, paced well behind the foreground fetch rate, so scrolled-to icons decode instead of re-fetching
Fixes
Fixed: going back from a detail screen (or a background catalog refresh while viewing one) reset scroll position and selection to the top of the list instead of keeping your place
Fixed a corrupted zRIF decoder (puff.c's fixed() never decoded, and the dictionary table was truncated) that silently rejected real zRIFs
Removed the "Tool" category from the catalog filter pills (data is still parsed/labeled correctly, just no longer a selectable filter)
Removed Select/Back as an app-exit shortcut
Added Start button to open Settings
Removed the 0x80010114-triggering auto-update flow
