Hey guys, i really liked the Padcon function in Loadiine
And most of you know that we now can install games on hdd/nand
So i searched for Padcon without Loadiine, and found the elf in Maschell's github
And diced to make a "simple" icon and a xml
So we can just start it from Homebrew
for those who dont know this tool
here a little description

  • Padcon: Enable the "R3" button patch to switch the gamepage display ON/OFF. the touchscreen still work, only the display is disabled to save the battery when the display is not needed.


thanks @Maschell for this tool

You do not need XML or an icon to start from the HBL, all you did is make an icon and xml, what is the point?
dont talk to much master programmer of universe, then come on give us ps4 hax for latest fw or wait better send a huge amount of money from any bank to my bank account

The point is, there was no PADCON for the HBL! only for loadiine

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

What is the "R3" button? How do I switch the gamepad off with this?

EDIT: Figured it out. For anyone who didn't get it you have to click the right stick.
in the first post i said the R3 button :D

Quick and stupid question. Do I just copy the file to the root of my SD card? Then open it in HBL to activate it?

To turn on your screen, press the right stick again. To disable Padcon, Just switch off your console

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be

    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
