Hi all,

I'm finally releasing a preview version of VIVA (VIVA Is A Visual shell Altnerative).

Admittidly the preview doesn't have much linked yet, we're releasing for you to get your comments in on the UI and to prove we have beat Project4 in 2 main aspects.

What the version has:
Ability to load the XMB or VIVA during boot time, pressing the left shoulder button loads the XMB, not pressing loads VIVA. No files have to be written unlike Project4.
ISO/CSO loading (fixed path) with the M33 and NP9660 driver, Project4 only had the ISOFs driver.

It took me a bit to figure out how to get this running right, but once I did, I found it pretty neat. I haven't checked out Project4 before so I don't have anything to compare it with. What are the plans for how all this is going to look in the end?

well, Project4 was kinda sorta intended to operate from flash completely, so the first aspect is as real as santa claws.
