In order to run an homebrew made with vitaGL, you are going to need libshacccg.suprx extracted and decrypted on your console. You can refer to this guide for more details about its extraction: https://samilops2.gitbook.io/vita-troubleshooting-guide/shader-compiler/extract-libshacccg.suprx
If you want your homebrew to not be hard dependant from libshacccg.suprx, you can either:
- Stick to precompiled shaders usage only (glShaderBinary).
- Stick to fixed function pipeline features (GL1) while using this old legacy version of the library: https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/vitaGL/tree/legacy_precompiled_ffp
In order to build vitaGL use the following command: make install.
These are all the available flags usable when compiling the library:
HAVE_SHARK_LOG=1 Enables logging support in runtime shader compiler.
HAVE_CUSTOM_HEAP=1 Replaces sceClib heap implementation with custom one (Less efficient but safer).
LOG_ERRORS=1 Errors will be logged with sceClibPrintf.
LOG_ERRORS=2 Errors will be logged to ux0:data/vitaGL.log.
NO_DEBUG=1 Disables most of the error handling features (Faster CPU code execution but code may be non compliant to all OpenGL standards).
NO_TEX_COMBINER=1 Disables texture combiner support (GL_COMBINE) for faster fixed function pipeline code execution.
NO_SHADER_CACHE=1 Disables extra shader cache layer on filesystem (ux0:data/shader_cache) for fixed function pipeline.
SOFTFP_ABI=1 Compiles the library in soft floating point compatibility mode.
DRAW_SPEEDHACK=1 Enables faster code for draw calls. May cause crashes.
MATH_SPEEDHACK=1 Enables faster code for matrix math calls. May cause glitches.
SAMPLERS_SPEEDHACK=1 Enables faster code for samplers resolution during shaders usage. May cause glitches.
SHADER_COMPILER_SPEEDHACK=1 Enables faster code for glShaderSource. May cause errors.
HAVE_HIGH_FFP_TEXUNITS=1 Enables support for more than 2 texunits for fixed function pipeline at the cost of some performance loss.
HAVE_DISPLAY_LISTS=1 Enables support for display lists at the cost of some performance loss.
HAVE_UNFLIPPED_FBOS=1 Framebuffers objects won't be internally flipped to match OpenGL standards.
SHARED_RENDERTARGETS=1 Makes small framebuffers objects use shared rendertargets instead of dedicated ones.
CIRCULAR_VERTEX_POOL=1 Makes temporary data buffers being handled with a circular pool.
HAVE_PTHREAD=1 Use pthread instead of sceKernel for starting garbage collector thread.
SINGLE_THREADED_GC=1 Makes the garbage collector run on main thread.
PHYCONT_ON_DEMAND=1 Makes the physically contiguous RAM be handled with separate memblocks instead of an heap.
UNPURE_TEXTURES=1 Makes legal to upload textures without base level.
HAVE_DEBUGGER=1 Enables lightweighted on screen debugger interface.
HAVE_DEBUGGER=2 Enables lightweighted on screen debugger interface with extra information (devkit only).
HAVE_RAZOR=1 Enables debugging features through Razor debugger (retail and devkit compatible).
HAVE_RAZOR=2 Enables debugging features through Razor debugger (retail and devkit compatible) with ImGui interface.
HAVE_DEVKIT=1 Enables extra debugging features through Razor debugger available only for devkit users.
HAVE_DEVKIT=2 Enables extra debugging features through Razor debugger available only for devkit users with ImGui interface.
You can find samples in the samples folder in this repository.
