vitasdk code samples

Prerequisites

In order to build a vita sample, you need to add the toolchain bin/ directory to your $PATH.

Building

Every samples directory should include a CMake list. To build a sample, place yourself into this directory and use the cmake . && make command to build it.

Running

To run a sample:

  • Send the generated .vpk to your vita:
    • Start an FTP server on your vita (for example, with VitaShell - by pressing the select button).
    • Upload the .vpk to the Vita using your FTP client (for example, with Curl - with curl -T *.vpk ftp://YOUR_VITA_IP:1337/ux0:/)
    • If Curl returns fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything it mean that you are trying to overwrite a folder with a file. Add a / to the end of your url to explain that you want to upload IN this folder.
  • Install the .vpk on your vita using a vpk installer (for example, with VitaShell - by pressing the X button on the .vpk)
  • This will create a new folder in the ux0:/app/ for the sample.

Building everything

Use the following command to build every samples:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
