NeoVitaDB Downloader v2.7 released
A new release is available. Please install this version manually, as it includes a fix for the in-app self-update system. Older versions may not correctly update themselves because they expected releases in the old VitaDB PSARC format instead of the plain VPK format used by NeoVitaDB Downloader releases.
What's new in v2.7:
- Added an in-app catalog switcher, allowing users to switch catalogs directly from the app
- Added the original VitaDB (rinnegatamante.eu) backend as a built-in catalog option, alongside the official NeoVitaDB catalog
- Added support for custom NeoVitaDB-compatible catalogs through
ux0:data/NeoVitaDB/catalogs.cfg - Added optional aliases for custom catalogs (
Alias|URL) for cleaner names in the dropdown - Catalogs now keep separate app lists, icons, favorites and daemon blacklist data
- Added PSP homebrew support
- Added "Trusted by the community" and "Uses AI / Does not use AI" labels for apps
- Fixed multiple download, installation, catalog switching and recovery issues
- Fixed missing icon handling and corrupted file edge cases
- Fixed PSP catalog loading issues
- Fixed the self-update system
The biggest change in this release is the ability to switch between different catalogs. This also brings back compatibility with the original VitaDB backend, which is useful now that it is online again but currently has a much smaller homebrew library compared to the previous database.
If you experience issues after updating (app not starting, stuck loading, unexpected behavior), try deleting ux0:data/NeoVitaDB through FTP/VitaShell and let the app recreate it. This only removes cached catalog data, icons and local settings; installed homebrews are not affected.
