PlayStation Vita emulator for Android, package com.sbro.emucorev, arm64-v8a
|
|
only. A Kotlin and Compose front end drives a Vita3K tree vendored verbatim
|
|
under app/src/main/cpp/vita3k, reached through an adapter layer that owns
|
|
every JNI entry point. Frontends start the exported activity
|
|
com.sbro.emucorev.core.vita.Emulator with an AppStartParameters string array;
|
|
ES-DE passes -r followed by the title id read from the .psvita file.

The Android library is built from the JNI sources plus interface.cpp and
|
|
performance.cpp, and links app, audio, compat, config, cppcommon, ctrl,
|
|
dialog, display, ime, lang, gdbstub, gxm, io, miniz, modules, motion,
|
|
packages, patch, renderer, shader, touch, util and psvpfsparser, with overlay
|
|
and np arriving through renderer and modules. The ImGui front end under
|
|
vita3k/gui is never added as
|
|
a subdirectory, gui-qt is desktop only, and the adapter drops those two and
|
|
updater from the link line as well when a configuration defines them. So the
|
|
home screen, live area, themes, trophy collection, user avatars and the pd0
|
|
background music player are not compiled: pd0 is written by a firmware install
|
|
and never read back, which is why no third preinst package is offered.

Firmware installation calls vanilla install_pup. The file is tested for the
|
|
SCEUF magic and nothing else, the SCE segments are decrypted with the built-in
|
|
keys, os0.img, pd0.img, sa0.img and vs0.img are joined from their pieces, and
|
|
each image with content is extracted into the Vita filesystem root. The
|
|
version string is read from the version.txt the package carries. No digest and
|
|
no length is compared.

|
Two packages are named in code, both pinned to firmware 3.74 and fetched from
|
|
Sony. Each URL carries the MD5 of the package it serves in its rel_ and sd_
|
|
path segment. The byte counts beside them feed the progress bar and its
|
|
fallback alone, and one of the two is not the length of the file it names, so
|
|
nothing measures what was downloaded.

|
|
app/src/main/java/com/sbro/emucorev/ui/onboarding/FirmwareDownloadViewModel.kt:96-124
|
|
|
|
Both packages are required. launchInstalledTitle returns MissingFirmware
|
|
before doing any work when vita/vs0 holds no file, and MissingFirmwareUpdate
|
|
when vita/sa0 holds no file, each with its own refusal string. The refusal is
|
|
the app's own: nothing in the vendored core tests either partition before a
|
|
run, and the only sa0 test in the tree sits in the front end that is not
|
|
compiled. The gate also sits in the in-app launcher alone, so a frontend
|
|
starting the activity itself, which is what ES-DE does, reaches the core
|
|
without passing through it.

|
What the partitions are read for. Every launch queues os0:kd/bootimage.skprx
|
|
and os0:kd/sysmodule.skprx, then for each preload module that is LLE takes
|
|
app0:sce_module/<name>.suprx when the title carries one and
|
|
vs0:sys/external/<name>.suprx otherwise. libc, libSceFt2, libpvf and libfiber
|
|
are always LLE, alongside an automatic list of nineteen sysmodules, and a
|
|
failed module load is logged and stepped over. The overlay renderer registers
|
|
sa0/data/font/pvf as the firmware font directory and asks it for the ltn, jpn,
|
|
cn and kr faces by name, falling back to /system/fonts for its own text.

Storage. The Vita filesystem is a directory named vita under a storage root
|
|
the user can move to a card, holding ux0 and the partitions a firmware install
|
|
writes. Configuration, logs, patches, the texture folders and the cache stay
|
|
on internal storage. Static assets never reach the filesystem: on Android the
|
|
static assets path is left empty and shaders, fonts and images are read out of
|
|
the package through SDL.

Titles arrive as VPK, ZIP, PKG or an already extracted directory, and a PKG

needs a zRIF that is either typed in or derived from a license already
