# renpy-vita

A Native Ren'Py Visual Novel Port for the PSVita


#### Based on [renpy-switch](https://github.com/uyjulian/renpy-switch/) by uyjulian (great work)



## Yeah. It's finally here

About a year into the making (totally not because I can get a bit lazy), Ren'Py Vita is finally out.



A ton of frustration, troubleshooting, and long nights went into getting this to work. From cuevavirus making the base of the Python 2.7 port, to GrapheneCt making PVR_PSP2, to isage working on SDL additions. And we can finally release this gigantic project to you guys. Hope you like it, literally all I wanted to do was play the REAL DDLC on the Vita.

## Want to make/port your own game? Use the Distribution Tool

I made a Ren'Py PSVita Distribution Tool to ease the process of creating a Ren'Py bubble with the required structure and assets.


It was designed to be used in tandem with the official Ren'Py SDK, so it's great for personal projects as well as ports


Give it a go in the Releases.

        

## Known Issues

- Load times can be pretty long and some image loading my cause hitches. This is sadly not something I can fix as it is a Vita hardware limitation.

- Video playback will not work

- Quitting will crash (But I kinda left that in. Doesn't do anything bad. I promise)

- Some games will run into memory issues. I will continue to tweak memory usage as necessary, but the Vita is pretty sparse in memory, so I may not be able to pull a rabbit out of my hat when it comes to full compatibility.



## Build Instructions 



#### Pre-Req: 

Linux (or WSL1/2)


Cython
 

Python 2.7.18


Git


Clone this repo


Grab `PSVita_Release.zip` and `vitasdk_stubs.zip` from [PVR_PSP2 releases](https://github.com/GrapheneCt/PVR_PSP2/releases)


Clone [SDL](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL)


Clone [Python Future](https://github.com/PythonCharmers/python-future)



#### Steps:

1. Copy the contents of `vitasdk_stubs.zip` into your VitaSDK lib directory

2. Copy all of the files in [include](https://github.com/GrapheneCt/PVR_PSP2/tree/main/include) into your VitaSDK include directory

3. Copy files WITHOUT underscores in `python-future/src` to the Python2.7 folder in your VitaSDK lib directory.
(This will be removed in the future. Heh)

4. Navigate to the SDL directory and run
`cmake -S. -Bbuild -DVIDEO_VITA_PVR=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${VITASDK}/share/vita.toolchain.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`

5. Once complete, navigate to the newly create build folder and run `make -j4 install`

6. Navigate to the `renpy-vita` folder and run `git submodule init` and then `git submodule update`

6. Navigate to the `renpy-vita/renpy/module` folder and run `RENPY_DEPS_INSTALL=$VITASDK/arm-vita-eabi RENPY_STATIC=1 python2 setup.py`

7. Navigate to `renpy-vita/pygame-sdl2` and run `PYGAME_SDL2_STATIC=1 python setup.py`

8. Navigate to `renpy-vita/renpy-vita` and run `./link_compile_pylibs.bash` and then `./link_sources.bash` (may need to chmod)

9. Now run `cmake -Bbuild -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${VITASDK}/share/vita.toolchain.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`

10. Navigate to the build directory and run `make -j4`

11. And now you're all done
