Vita HomeBrew Browser

Prerequisites

Optional:

To build VHBB, you'll need to have the vitasdk installed and working.

Then run the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build

cmake .. -DDEBUGNET=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j4

To run VHBB:

send the generated .vpk to your vita:
- start an FTP server on your vita, for example VitaShell.
- upload the vpk to the vita using a FTP client.
install the .vpk on your vita using a vpk installer, for example VitaShell.
a new folder will be created under ux0:/app/ named /VHBB00001/.

You can also use PSP2SHELL in order to send and reload the application easily after compilation:

put the IP of your PS Vita in a new file psvitaip.txt
every time you do modifications and want to test them, you can execute make psp2shell which will automatically compile, send, and reload the application.

Debug code prints text in order to help the debugging. Currently only debugnet is supported. We will probably add file logging in the future.

Instructions to use debugnet:

install debugnet
set the local IP of your computer in debugnetip.txt
compile VHBB using make debugnet=1
on your computer, listen to the port 18194
- with netcat: nc -u -l -p 18194
- with socat: socat udp-recv:18194 stdout
install VHBB on your PS Vita and start it. The logging should display in the terminal.

icon0.png, startup.png and bg.png must be using indexed palettes.
PNG files created in some image editors will cause the .vpk intallation to crash. You may use PNGO to optimise addition PNG files (included under /tools/), or pngquant.
