+QCMA
+====
+
+QCMA is an cross-platform application to provide a Open Source implementation
+of the original Content Manager Assistant that comes with the PS Vita. QCMA is
+meant to be compatible with Linux, Windows and MAC OS X.
+
+## Features
+
+The aim of this project is to provide a implementation that is on par with the
+official CMA and also offer some features missing in the original one.
+
+#### Implemented features missing in OpenCMA (Yifan Lu CLI application)
+* Metadata for PSP savedatas.
+* Basic metadata for single songs (album, artist, title).
+* Basic metadata for videos (duration, dimensions).
+* Basic metadata for photos (dimensions).
+* Easy wireless pairing (show PIN to the user when a Vita is detected).
+* Ability to restart the connection if the Vita is reconnected (on test).
+* Ability to change the connection mode (usb/wireless) on the fly (on test).
+
+#### TODO:
+* Fix remaining bugs with thread synchronizations.
+* Implement thumbnails for videos and album art for music.
+* Folder categories for music/videos.
+* SQLite backend for database.
+* Fix wireless streaming for music/videos.
+
+## Planned features
+* **Backup browser**: provide a human readable listing of the games saved on the
+computer (name, icon, side on disk) and provide some actions (delete savedata,
+patches or the whole game without need of the Vita). Also some sort of interface
+to prepare VHBL homebrew in the folder of the exploited savedata.
+
+* **DLNA bridge**: connect an existing DLNA server to interface with the Vita
+using the wireless streaming feature.
+
+#### Dependencies
+* [Qt 4.x or 5.x](http://qt-project.org/)

+* [VitaMTP](https://github.com/yifanlu/VitaMTP)
