The last version I was on was 0.5.2 and everything was simple and functional.
After getting 0.6.0 there's only a hotspot option with 0 instructions on how to actually operate with it (and I TRIED looking).
Help!

I removed the display games in device feature for that version. It will be added again in future versions. Either displaying games in a separate window or combining it again in the main window. I have to determine it yet.

Regarding to the hotspot feature:
Windows has a feature called hostednetwork. Which allows to create a wifi hotspot without sharing Internet in that network. So I created a very simple hotspot feature that creates a unique SSID and password for your machine automatically (that also can be adjusted closing the app and editing the vitaorganizer.properties) and creates that hotspot wifi network. This has two advantages: on computers like laptops connecting to the router using wi-fi, you are transferring from pc to the router and then from the router to your psvita via wireless, so it is up to two times slower than just creating a direct link between your computer and the vita (and that's what vita does). Also blocking Internet in that hotspot access make it safer to use the vita, since it won't be able to update itself by error. Also it would allow to future versions to embed a henkaku server inside without connecting the internet at all or configuring the router to block internet access to the psvita mac address.

I tried to explain this briefly in the changelog, but I understand that using the application without further information could be confusing, so I will try to make it clearer. Maybe I can hide it in a submenu (at least for enabling the feature) and explaining the advantages there.
