X1vita is a plugin based on ds4vita that allows you to use an official Xbox One controller on the PS Vita or PS TV. The plugin was made by Ibrahim778 for the kyuhen homebrew contest and can be downloaded from GitHub.

For now, only official Xbox One 1708 controllers are supported and all others will be ignored. This plugin is not compatible with the other DualShock plugins, but you can use DS3/4 on the PS TV or use minivitaTV.

Enabling the Plugin

  1. Add X1Vita.skprx to taiHEN's config (ux0:/tai/config.txt) or (ur0:/tai/config.txt):
    • *KERNEL
      ur0:tai/X1Vita.skprx
  2. You need to refresh the config.txt by rebooting or through VitaShell.

Pairing a Controller

Exclamation-circle-fill.svgIf you are using multiple controllers the controller ports will be set in the order you connect (if available), so first connection is port 1 second connection is port 2 and so on. Simply powering off the controller (i.e. removing batteries) will not trigger a disconnect on the Vita. You need to hold the Xbox Button till it turns off.


Exclamation-circle-fill.svgIf you use Mai, don't put the plugin inside ux0:/plugins because Mai will load all stuff you put in there.


  1. Go to Settings -> Devices -> Bluetooth Devices.
  2. Press the pair on the controller for about 3-4 seconds, until the logo blinks very quickly.
  3. The controller will then connect and be paired.
    • You may get a message saying "Do you want to connect to (blank)" just press ok and ignore the error.

Troubleshooting

  • My controller connects but doesn't do anything!
    • There can several reasons but here are the most common:
      • You're using a 3rd party controller.
      • You're using an Xbox Elite Series 1 or 2 controller. This plugin only supports the normal 1708 model.
      • You're using the newer Xbox Series controllers with the screenshot button, OR your controller's firmware was updated to support Bluetooth LE.
        • The Vita doesn't support Bluetooth LE, so they simply cannot connect unless you downgrade the firmware if using an Xbox One controller.
      • You installed the plugin incorrectly. Install and open the companion to see if X1Vita is detected.
