Desktop application for VitaPresence plugin

vita-presence-the-server

This project reimplements desktop application required for Electry's VitaPresence plugin to work. Also adds support for Discord Rich Presence game thumbnails.

1. Install VitaPresence kernel plugin, see https://github.com/Electry/VitaPresence
2. Create application on Discord developer portal, name it PS Vita, for example (this will be printed in Rich Presence). Get application ID.
3. (Optional) Setup game thumbnails. In developer portal open Rich Presence -> Art Assets (on the left) and upload thumbnails. Make sure to name it exactly as the game's ID. Example: pcse00120 for Persona 4 Golden. Discord will automatically lowercase filenames. For LiveArea name it livearea. Like so: https://imgur.com/a/evlFtfi
4. Make sure vita-presence-the-server.ini is on the same level as the executable
5. Set parameters in vita-presence-the-server.ini, the keys are self-explanatory
6. Start the executable

If all goes well, your Discord nickname should be printed together with PS Vita game if you have it opened. Like this: https://imgur.com/a/oHX3DDZ

To stop the program, press Ctrl-C.
