Building Godot 3.5 for PlayStation Vita

These steps must be done under Linux / Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Dependencies

If you haven't done so already, install the dependencies called for by the official Godot docs

1. Install VitaSDK

   # Clone and bootstrap
   git clone https://github.com/vitasdk/vdpm
   cd vdpm
   ./bootstrap-vitasdk.sh
   # Add to PATH (add this to ~/.bashrc for persistence after reboot)
   export VITASDK=/usr/local/vitasdk
   export PATH=$VITASDK/bin:$PATH # add vitasdk tool to $PATH
   # Finish install
   ./install-all.sh
   # Update
   vitasdk-update

2. Install PVR-PSP2

   # Clone, build and install
   git clone https://github.com/isage/vita-packages-extra
   cd vita-packages-extra/pvr_psp2
   vita-makepkg
   vdpm *-arm.tar.xz

Getting the source code

1. Clone the repo
   git clone https://github.com/Homebrodot/Godot
2. Navigate to the cloned repo
   cd Godot
3. Checkout the main/3.5 branch
   git checkout origin/main/3.5

Building

1. Run scons platform=vita in the root of the repo. Add target=release to the end to build for release instead of debug.

Exporting for PS Vita or PS TV

The editor releases add a Vita exporter to the list - it will generate a homebrew VPK file that can be installed on your PlayStation Vita or PlayStation TV with VitaShell.
