7zShell modification (VitaShell) released

As an owner of the PSVita or Playstation Vita if thats how you call it, i am disapointed that the games just didnt come for what is an excellent handheld, but homebrewers and hackers have made the handheld their own, heres the news:

Back in August 2016, VitaShell 0.8 was released for HENkaku enabled devices and while it brought about many features (such as customization) and bug fixes, 7z and RAR support were dropped in favour of support for ZIP files larger than 2GB. While RAR support was re-added in a later release of VitaShell, 7z support didn’t so 7zShell came into existence.
The first version of VitaShell for HENkaku-enabled devices was version 0.7 and that, indeed, had support for 7z archives! Now, I have decided (yes, it is my modification) to share with you all the small mod I did to the VitaShell files that I decided to call 7zShell.
This is what the modification includes:

• Stock (unmodified) VitaShell 0.7 so you have support for 7z archives. This means that you can easily extract ROMs from 7z archives directly on your Vita without using ePSP!
• The name ‘VitaShell’ was changed to ‘7zShell’ so that you don’t have 2 ‘VitaShell’ bubbles.
• The installation directory (in ux0:/app) was changed to ‘7ZVTSHELL’ from ‘VITASHELL’ to avoid installation conflicts.
• The LiveArea screen was updated to reflect the name change.
