BootMenu is a GRUB-like menu allowing to automatically bootstrap any baremetal payload and, in turn, Linux, right after the PS Vita boots.
Recommended for Ensō users only.
Installation
VitaLinux build instructions here.
To install the plugin, place BootMenu.skprx on your Memory Card (ux0:linux/BootMenu.skprx) or your internal storage (ur0:tai/BootMenu.skprx).
Then add it to your taiHEN config.txt, in the *KERNEL section
#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.
Controls
PS Vita users:
D-Pad Up/Down - Navigate the menu
Circle/Cross - Choose an option
PS TV users:
Hold Triangle/POWER after the PS logo appears - Skip the plugin entirely
POWER - Abort the countdown and boot the PS Vita OS
(The POWER functionality is not tested, so it might actually not work. It is recommended placing the plugin on the memory card in case it doesn't work.)
