Thanks a for your replies. I'm one of the developers, and we were working for it two months. We are planning some new versions, and they are going to have a lot of new things.

**elite999** · 09-02-2009, 04:58 AM

Yes! You push "Select" and then "Cambiar idioma"

But if you got the XMB in English, the application will appear in English.

**mootjeuh** · 09-02-2009, 08:42 AM

nice work man! awesome!

@Mr_shizzy: it's already in english for me, maybe it checks your system language out first

Buen trabajo amigos, enhorabuena!!

Good job my friends, congratulations!!

Turtlebelly · 09-02-2009, 12:32 PM

Sorry for the (most likely stupid) question, but when this says
"Do not use battery options on PSP 3000/2000" Does that
mean all Slim models, or just those with motherboards that
only support ChickHEN and not a full Custom Firmware?

I'm not sure, but I would be careful.
Actually I have a PSP slim w/ 5.50 GEN-B, but mine doesn't even support pandora making. All motherboards as of TA-085v2 and later cannot do battery options...

Turtlebelly · 09-02-2009, 01:00 PM

Yeah, I'm not sure what board I have (I never could figure that out), but I managed to downgrade the thing and up it to 5.00 m33, and as far as a pandora goes, my board won't make 'em, but I managed to acquire the machinations to create them.

You can't use the battery options with any type of PSP-2000 or 3000, I've read is dangerous.
Zheive, muchas gracias!
Zheive, thanks a lot!

Yes, there is no pandora options for PSP 3000.
However, PSP 2000 definitely can, as long as the motherboard is TA-085v1... I would just have your program run a check to see what motherboard the user is on, and block it for non-compatible PSPs.

This chart may be helpful in clearing up any confusion:

**M14_b2** · 09-02-2009, 02:03 PM

Thanks a lot Mr.Shizzy! With this table, we'll do like an identifier, to give more security for VGT Evolution users

**sonamta** · 09-02-2009, 02:10 PM

Good job!! Very nice!

ZarinDenatrose · 09-02-2009, 02:23 PM

Overall, I like it, but there are a few things I'd personally like to see in it.
-A practical file explorer. (One which could load text files and mp3's for reading, but not necessarily write access.)
-The ability to do away with the transition, or at least change it to a classy fade.
-The use of the Joystick to move the pointer, the D-Pad to scroll through listed options, the use of 'X' to use the currently selected option, as opposed to the confirmation paw, and the use of 'O' to go back, or up a menu level.
-The ability to escape the credits if accidentally launched.

All in all, this is a good looknig functional project, and I'd like to see it replace much of what IRShell is used for, since IRShell doesn't get official updates to support GEN or other up to date CFW's.

By the moment we've thought in MP3 player, and to add the Joystick movement. About the transitions we'll think about it, and the credits will add like an escape button. Thanks a lot

**M14_b2** · 09-02-2009, 02:47 PM

Sorry for the doublepost, you'll can delete it, if a blogger read it. In the page of dl.qj, in VGT Evolution, the downlaod counter, I think isn't working. And if you can change M14_b2 for Team VGT, will be better. Sorry and thanks a lot to QJ Staff, you're amazing

Joban · 09-02-2009, 06:11 PM

I'm on a PSP 1000 5.50Gen-B, and this doesn't work!! Also, please fix the transitions.

**larryr** · 09-02-2009, 06:13 PM

When I laucnh it, it brings me back to the XMB.

**M14_b2** · 09-03-2009, 12:25 AM

I don't know why, but VGT Evolution works in 5.50 GEN-B, if the PSP is 2000. I've tested too in 5.50 GEN-B on my PSP Fat, and I had the same problem as you. In 5.50 GEN-A in PSP Fat works.

What kind of transitions do you like? I've read that you prefere the fade effect.

**sonamta** · 09-03-2009, 09:56 AM

may be you have to change the driver. By the way what firmware are you using?

Joban · 09-03-2009, 06:05 PM

Why i say transitions are the worse? Slow, non-impressive and weird. If he just made a screen fading would be awesome... OR better, sSomething like the main screen getting all blurry and the selected option screen on top of that.
