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 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:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
HAVE_SHARK_LOG=1 |
Enables logging support in runtime shader compiler. |
LOG_ERRORS=1 |
Errors will be logged with sceClibPrintf. |
LOG_ERRORS=2 |
Errors will be logged to ux0:data/vitaGL.log. |
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. |
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
HAVE_CUSTOM_HEAP=1 |
Replaces sceClib heap implementation with custom one (Less efficient but safer). |
HAVE_GLSL_SUPPORT=1 |
Enables experimental GLSL to CG auto translation for shader sources. |
SOFTFP_ABI=1 |
Compiles the library in soft floating point compatibility mode. |
STORE_DEPTH_STENCIL=1 |
Makes all framebuffers depth/stencil surfaces to be load/stored on memory. Makes the rendering slower but more compliant with OpenGL standards. |
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. |
SAFE_ETC1=1 |
Disables hardware support for ETC1 textures. Makes ETC1 textures usage less efficient but allows for proper debugging in Razor. |
SAFE_DRAW=1 |
Makes some optimizations in the drawing pipeline less efficient but can solve some glitches. |
UNPURE_TEXFORMATS=1 |
Enables support for texture dimensions different than 2D (tex2D is still required in shader code). |
HAVE_VITA3K_SUPPORT=1 |
Disables several features in order to make vitaGL compatible with Vita3K. Requires vitaShaRK compiled with https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/vitaShaRK/blob/master/source/vitashark.c#L24 uncommented. |
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
NO_TEX_COMBINER=1 |
Disables texture combiner support (GL_COMBINE) for faster fixed function pipeline code execution. |
NO_DEBUG=1 |
Disables most of the error handling features (Faster CPU code execution but code may be non compliant to all OpenGL standards). |
BUFFERS_SPEEDHACK=1 |
Enables faster vertex buffer copying. May cause crashes. |
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. |
TEXTURES_SPEEDHACK=1 |
Makes glTexSubImage2D/glTexSubImage1D non fully OpenGL compliant but makes rendering pipeline slightly faster. Incompatible with HAVE_TEXTURE_CACHE=1. |
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. |
PRIMITIVES_SPEEDHACK=1 |
Makes draw calls more efficient but GL_LINES and GL_POINTS primitives usage may cause glitches. |
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
HAVE_TEXTURE_CACHE=1 |
Adds file caching for textures not used since a lot of time, acting like a sort of swap implementation to increase effective available memory. (Experimental) |
NO_DMAC=1 |
Disables sceDmacMemcpy usage. In some rare instances, it can improve framerate. |
HAVE_UNFLIPPED_FBOS=1 |
Framebuffers objects won't be internally flipped to match OpenGL standards. |
HAVE_WVP_ON_GPU=1 |
Moves calculation of the wvp in fixed function pipeline codepath to the GPU. Reduces CPU workload and increases GPU one. |
SHARED_RENDERTARGETS=1 |
Makes small framebuffers objects use shared rendertargets instead of dedicated ones. |
SHARED_RENDERTARGETS=2 |
Makes small framebuffers objects use shared rendertargets instead of dedicated ones and adds a mechanism for recycling older rendertargets. |
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_WRAPPED_ALLOCATORS=1 |
Allows usage of vgl allocators inside wrapped allocators. |
HAVE_SHADER_CACHE=1 |
Enables fast automatic file caching (based on XH3 xxHash algorithm) for application provided shaders. |
