Lua Player Plus by Rinnegatamante will be updated with 4 Player Support for the PSTV

Lua Player Plus by Rinnegatamante is a Lua Interpreter for the Playstation Vita. It runs with Lua 5.3.3 and features a Debug FTP Server for runtime debugging. According to Rinnegatamante someone once requested 4 Player Controller Support and he is now nearly finished implementing it so that it can be used in homebrew.

Way back someone asked me for up to 4 controllers support on lpp-vita for PSTV. https://t.co/5DEOuArHRU A new official release is very near.
