A Piglet/ShaccCg Wrapper Library for OpenGL ES 2.0 Support on the Vita. Now with System App and Experimental MSAAx4 Support.

This library is a developer focused wrapper which provides easy initialization and expandability, with some quality of life features, including supporting resolutions up to 1920x1080 native on the Playstion TV, and on the Vita with Sharpscale. Developers can choose make their applications with one resolution in mind, as all long as the code is made to scale by dimension, PIB will handle the rest with it's companion app, the PIB Configuration Tool Pigs in a Blanket Configuration Tool], which allows the user to specify their own preference of resultion that will automatically override the original settings. For more information about Piglet, you can check out our information about it on the forum post.

Note: Development Halted - Superceded by PVR_PSP2.

Compiling

With VDSuite

• Install VDSuite
• Install Taihen
• Run cmake . -Bbuild -G Ninja (Recommend Ninja)
• cd build and ninja install
• Link libpib.a in your projects

With VitaSDK

• Install VitaSDK
• Run vdpm taihen to install libtaihen_stub
• Run make -j4 install USE_VITASDK=1
• Link libpib.a in your projects

Note when building your projects:

Always compile your project with unsafe. Doing otherwise will result in PIB failing.

With VitaSDK you can specify the SceLibc heap size by defining sceLibcHeapSize in your code:

unsigned int sceLibcHeapSize = 2 * 1024 * 1024;

Piglet needs an SceLibc heap size of at least 2MB to intialize. Without it, the module will fail to start. This heap needs to be larger if using -nostdlib as this becomes your main heap. More info on -nostdlib support in the headers.

You'll need to link your program with:

• libpib.a
• liblibScePiglet_stub.a
• libSceShaccCg_stub.a
• libtaihen_stub.a
• libSceAppMgr_stub.a

For DolceSDK, you'll also need:

• libSceSharedFb_stub.a
• libSceGxmInternalForVsh_stub.a
• libSceGxmInternal_stub.a

Check the "Samples" folder for examples of how to use PIB to initialize OpenGLES 2.0 with EGL or GLFW (GLFW3 port for the vita).

Note: Button mapping is perfect and there's full touchscreen support.

To install Piglet on your Vita, just use the Pigs in a Blanket Configuration Tool.

Changelog

v2.0

What's new?

• System Application Support.
• Fully Enabled Sony EGL Extensions (Common Dialog Support).
• MSAA x4 Support.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed incorrect usage of EGL 1.5's eglGetProcAddresss. Using EGL 1.5 features now has to be manually enabled using the PIB_GET_PROC_ADDR_CORE flag.
• Fixed glGetBooleanv always returning GL_FALSE when using GL_SHADER_COMPILER as the symbolic constant and ShaccCg is enabled.
• Fixed eglSwapInterval would always be locked to 1 no matter what value was entered.
• Fixed Libc and FIOS2 always attempting to be started no matter what.
• Fixed ability to double initialize/terminate.

v1.1

• First Release.
