LowMemMode is a plugin allows you to launch other applications in LOWPHYMEM mode while enlarged memory game (+29MiB and +77MiB) is in the background.

What is LowMemMode?

This is a plugin for PS Vita that disables memory budget check during an app launch in SceShell. This allows you to launch other applications in LOWPHYMEM mode while enlarged memory mode app (+29MiB, +77MiB and +109MiB) is in the background.

Example

Before the plugin:

If you have launched games such as Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (+77MiB enlarged memory), you will not be able to launch any system app except Settings.

After the plugin:

You will be able to launch any other application (if specific bootparam is present, such as in system apps). However, in some cases apps may not launch: C1-2609-7 (SCE_KERNEL_ERROR_CANNOT_ALLOC_PHYMEMLOW).
