Exporting Games to PSvita

• A jailbreaked ps vita
• rust (obviously)

make it nightly!

• rustup install nightly
• rustup default nightly

now here's the dark part (likely you wont find any information about these). You need to install vitasdk and make sure to:

• setup $VITAPKG and set $VITAPKG/bin in $PATH
• vitasdk-update

If you want to use SDL2:

• install vitagl
• install this version of SDL

In the psvita you'll have to install libshacccg.suprx in order to use vitagl. in this page you can find a link to download a vpk to set it up automatically. finally you must install cargo-vita. Its a great package that gives you an easier way to build binaries for the psvita. just run cargo install cargo-vita

yeah kind of. now you can start a new project in rust and add this to the Cargo.toml:

[patch.crates-io]
ring = { git = "https://github.com/vita-rust/ring", branch = "v0.16.20-vita-2" }
# if you want SDL2
[dependencies]
sdl2 = { version = "0.37", features = ["use-pkgconfig"] }
[package.metadata.vita]
title_id = "MYGAME001"
title_name = "My game"
assets = "static"

the title_id is the game id. This is important to set because all applications on the ps vita have their unique path in the sd memory. commonly located in ux0:app/ so if you make a program to read a file, you must place that file inside its path: ux0:/app/XXXXXXXXX/file.txt. if you want to use SDL2 you need to add these bindings:

#[link(name = "SDL2", kind = "static")]
#[link(name = "vitaGL", kind = "static")]
#[link(name = "vitashark", kind = "static")]
#[link(name = "SceShaccCg_stub", kind = "static")]
#[link(name = "mathneon", kind = "static")]
#[link(name = "SceShaccCgExt", kind = "static")]
#[link(name = "taihen_stub", kind = "static")]
#[link(name = "SceKernelDmacMgr_stub", kind = "static")]
#[link(name = "SceIme_stub", kind = "static")]
unsafe extern "C" {}

and write sdl2 code as always.

yeah, my game is bullshit. but i will make updates…
