VitaShell is a multi-functional homebrew file manager and alternative shell for the PS Vita, replacing the LiveArea interface. It bundles a file browser, package installer, FTP server, text/hex editors, and media players into a single native C application.

Use cases

• manage files on a PS Vita memory card
• install VPK homebrew packages on PS Vita
• transfer files to PS Vita over FTP
• use a USB flash drive as a memory card on PS TV
• edit text files and view hex dumps on the Vita
• browse photos and play audio on the Vita
• customize the Vita homebrew shell theme and colors

When to choose

• you have a hacked PS Vita or PS TV and need a full-featured file manager
• you want to install homebrew VPK packages directly on the device
• you need FTP file transfer to and from the Vita
• you want to replace the default LiveArea shell with something more capable

When to avoid

• you have an unmodified PS Vita, since it requires HENkaku homebrew access
• you need a file manager for platforms other than PS Vita
• you want a maintained general-purpose desktop file manager
