HexFlow Launcher from VitaHEX Games is a slick Cover Flow style launcher for the PS Vita, designed to be an alternative title launcher for the Vita's LiveArea. This not only has the Cover Flow style that many users enjoy, but it also has the major benefit of bypassing the 100 Bubble limit on the PS Vita's LiveArea. This video will walk through the process of installing, setting up, customizing, and even setting HexFlow Launcher to launch on coldboot with AutoBoot.
This tutorial assumes you have a Vita console set up with HENkaku or h-encore and have the basic understanding of how to transfer files as well as modify your config.txt file to load plugins through the taiHEN engine. Everything is shown in here, however for a full tutorial detailing this further check the links further down in this description!

Awesome. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The one thing I've disliked about vita is the annoying bubbles. This looks great.

A Switch view mod has been made, but I wonder why hasn’t a XMB view mod been made???

@mondherbouazizi4433 2 года назад

It's wonderful how the PS Vita community is soooo in love with the PS Vita. The work done for this handheld should make SONY feel ashamed for abandoning such a wonderful piece of art. I have a wide variety of handhelds and consoles, and for some reason I love the PS Vita more than anything else. This little thing is just too good.. It's sad how it hasn't seen much attention from Sony or from 3rd party developers. And now, they're going after enthusiasts who're trying to import some games such as old GTAs to the vita.. sad!

Just a note to you guys don’t try to make a cover or change location for your game when you are at all games you need to be at the specific folder you can make PS1 games from the PSP menu but not from all games then it will crash also don’t charge your vita while you are doing everything then it will crash too so make sure it’s charged up, thanks for a great great video I love how it looks🤘😎

You're welcome!

@harrymason6654 2 года назад

Hope to see on the future the option to only put the games on some folder and with HexFlow add the directory, launch the game directly to keep clean the homescreen of ugly bubbles from psp and ps1 games like Aurora on RGH xbox

can you do a vid on the next step up from hexflow -> retroflow (samething just covers more consoles via retroarch) only vid on youtube is not in english.

@patrickyeary 2 года назад

Is there a way to manual change the cover art in hexaflow. I’m having trouble getting cover art on titles downloaded from psn

@robbyg1232 2 года назад

great app small gripe though you cannot group certain titles, for example i just wanted to move all ps1 games from the psp section to the psx section and i had to do it manually. Would be easier to let the user pick out the titles and move all highlighted option.

@freudlospsyd2603 2 года назад

This is all fine and dandy, but there's one aspect I can't wrap my head around: On the one hand, you're saying there's the inherent Live View bubble limit of 100 entries (which I did encounter in the past), but on the other hand you're guiding us through setting up one bubble per app/game/whatnot so it'll be recognized by the cover artwork download algorithm. Is it that the bubble manager step is optional or how would you get around this limitation? Care to elaborate? Ty in advance~

@MrMario2011 2 года назад

Adrenaline Bubble Manager is required to make the games show up in HexFlow for PS1 and PSP titles.
