  • BootMenu is a GRUB-like menu allowing to automatically bootstrap the VitaLinux Baremetal Loader and, in turn, Linux, right after boot.

    VitaLinux build instructions here

  • Download BootMenu.skprx from here, and place it on your memory card (i.e. ux0:linux/BootMenu.skprx) or your internal storage (i.e. ur0:tai/BootMenu.skprx).

    Then add it to your taiHEN config.txt, in the *KERNEL section, i.e.
    Code:
    #For internal memory
    *KERNEL
    ur0:tai/BootMenu.skprx
    
    #For memory card
    *KERNEL
    ux0:linux/BootMenu.skrpx

    Place the baremetal payload at ux0:linux/payload.bin.
    Place the Linux zImage and dtb at the location the baremetal payload expects.

    Optional :
    Can load a background image located at ur0:tai/BootMenu.bmp. Create it with Paint, save as 24bit BMP.

  • For PSVita users :
    Use D-Pad Up and D-Pad Down to navigate the menu, O or X to choose an option.

    For PSTV users :
    Press POWER to abort the countdown and boot the PSVita OS.
    Note that the POWER functionality hasn't been tested yet, so it might actually not work

    . I would recommend placing the plugin on the memory card in case it doesn't work. If you can, hop by the Discord and tell me how it works on PSTV.


    You can also skip the plugin entierly by holding Triangle/POWER for a bit, after the PS logo appears.

BootMenu+ v0.2

Changelog : Merged the Baremetal Loader inside of the app.

Recommended for Henkaku Ensō users only.
Note for SD2Vita users :
The plugin needs to be loaded after the SD2Vita plugin, or you'll need to place the payload on the memory card instead.
