This extension allows you to operate your PS Vita right from the Visual Studio Code IDE. This means that you can send and launch and close apps on your Vita without touching it!
This makes developing homebrews and plugins for the Vita tremendously easier.
Note: This extension uses and requires vitacompanion in order to be able to transfer files and send commands to your Vita. See Installing below to learn how to install it.
Connecting for the first time
Connect to the vita using this command in the command palette.
>Vita: Connect
You will be prompted to enter the IP address in x.x.x.x format ex -> 128.23.21.1.
It will save this value so you don't have to call connect everytime.
To change it call connect again.
You will then be able to use each of the commands set by devnoname120
>Vita: Reboot >Vita: Launch Application by ID >Vita: Screen off >Vita: Screen on >Vita: Kill all Applications
