Adrenaline Application Settings

A tab in the Adrenaline Menu that allows adjusting various settings related to Adrenaline Application.

vPSP Custom Firmware

Chooses the PSP Custom Firmware that is going to be loaded by the Adrenaline Application into the vPSP environment.

The available options are:

  • EPI: Uses the CFW that comes with Adrenaline.
  • ARK: Uses the ARK CFW.

note

The ARK options is only available if you have ARK savedata files properly installed. Otherwise, only the EPI will be available.

Adrenaline searches for ARK savedata files on the selected Memory Stick Location option first, and falls back to search on ux0:/pspemu if not found.

important

Changing vPSP Custom Firmware requires to close and reopen the Adrenaline Application to take effect.

Graphics Filtering

Applies graphical filters in the Vita/PSTV screen while the Adrenaline App is open.

It offers these options:

  • Original: No filtering is applied; displays the original PSP graphics.
  • Bilinear: Smooths out pixel edges for a softer look.
  • Sharp Bilinear: Slightly sharper smoothing than bilinear and with scanline effect.
  • Advanced AA: Advanced Anti-Aliasing. Reduces jagged edges, making graphics less blocky.
  • LCD3x: Simulates the look of an LCD screen, with subtle scanline effect.
  • Sharp Bilinear without Scanlines: Like Sharp Bilinear, but without the scanline effect.
  • Scale2x: Increases the size by 2x of small bitmaps by guessing the missing pixels without blurring the images, making graphics less blocky.
  • Scale2x Plus: Improvement of the Scale2x, by using pixel interpolation to decide the color of the pixels.
  • Scale3x: Same as Scale2x, but increases the size by 3x instead of 2x.

important

When the Original option is selected, all graphics-related options will not take effect.

grayjack personal preference

For this config, I like to set it to 1.215 on both X and Y axis. Maximizes the size while maintaining the original game proportions.

Memory Stick Location

Chooses the drive Adrenaline App shows up for the chosen CFW as the Memory Stick drive (ms0:).

The options are:

  • ux0:pspemu
  • ur0:pspemu
  • imc0:pspemu
  • xmc0:pspemu
  • uma0:pspemu
  • uma0:

The uma0: option can be used to facilitate PS3<->PSVITA data share (e.g. savedata files) for people that does that frequently.

System Storage Location

Chooses the drive Adrenaline App shows up fot the chosen CFW as the System Storage drive (ef0:).

The options are:

  • Disabled
  • uma0:pspemu
  • xmc0:pspemu
  • ux0:pspemu
  • uma0:

The Epinephrine CFW has support to show the System Storage drive on the XMB/VSH and able to use it on the XMB with some limitation (currently):

  • Unable to boot PS1 titles from ef0:
  • The XMB is not showing the System Storage free space
  • The Saved Data Utility for the system storage doesn’t work on the XMB
  • The XMB context menu doesn’t open in the System Storage items

info

The System Storage will not show in the XMB/VSH when using ARK, but software is able to see and handle the drive. Launching titles can be done by using the ARK’s Custom Launcher.

The same limitations apply to using Adrenaline with ARK, although the most affected for ARK is the boot of PS1 titles.

USB device

Selects the device that will show up when connecting the Vita to a system via USB.

The options are:

  • Memory Card
  • Internal Storage
  • sd2vita
  • psvsd
