rust-psp

A library for building full PSP modules, including both PRX plugins and regular homebrew apps.

```rust #![no_std] #![no_main] psp::module!("sample_module", 1, 1); fn psp_main() { psp::enable_home_button(); psp::dprintln!("Hello PSP from rust!"); } ``` See `examples` directory for sample programs. ## What about PSPSDK? This project is a completely new SDK, with no dependency on the original C/C++ PSPSDK. It aims to be a **complete** replacement, with more efficient implementations of graphics functions, and the addition of missing libraries. ## Features / Roadmap - [x] `core` support - [x] PSP system library support - [x] `alloc` support - [x] `panic = "unwind"` support - [x] Macro-based VFPU assembler - [x] Full 3D graphics support (faster than PSPSDK in some cases!) - [x] No dependency on PSPSDK / PSPToolchain - [x] Reach full parity with user mode support in PSPSDK - [x] Port definitions to `libc` crate - [ ] Add support for creating kernel mode modules - [ ] Add `std` support - [ ] Automatically sign EBOOT.PBP files to run on unmodified PSPs - [ ] Implement / reverse undiscovered libraries ## Dependencies To compile for the PSP, you will need a Rust **nightly** version equal to or later than `2024-06-19` and the `rust-src` component. Please install Rust using https://rustup.rs/ Use the following if you are new to Rust. (Feel free to set an override manually per-project instead). ```sh $ rustup default nightly && rustup component add rust-src ``` You also need `cargo-psp` installed: ```sh $ cargo install cargo-psp ``` ## Running Examples Enter one of the example directories, `examples/hello-world` for instance, and run `cargo psp`. This will create an `EBOOT.PBP` file under `target/mipsel-sony-psp/debug/` Assuming you have a PSP with custom firmware installed, you can simply copy this file into a new directory under `PSP/GAME` on your memory stick, and it will show up in your XMB menu. ``` . └── PSP └── GAME └── hello-world └── EBOOT.PBP ``` If you do not have a PSP, we recommend using the [PPSSPP emulator](http://ppsspp.org). Note that graphics code is very sensitive so if you're writing graphics code we recommend developing on real hardware. PPSSPP is more relaxed in some aspects. ### Advanced usage: `PRXEncrypter` If you don't have a PSP with CFW installed, you can manually sign the PRX using `PRXEncrypter`, and then re-package it using `pack-pbp`. ### Advanced usage: PSPLink If you have the PSPSDK installed and have built a working copy PSPLink manually, you can also use `psplink` and `pspsh` to run the `.prx` under `target/mipsel-sony-psp/debug/` if you prefer. Refer to the installation and usage guides for those programs. ### Debugging Using the latest version of psplink and psp-gdb from the [pspdev github organization](https://github.com/pspdev) (`psplinkusb v3.1.0 and GNU gdb (GDB) 11.0.50.20210718-git` or later), Rust types are fully supported, providing a rich debugging experience. Enable debug symbols in your release binaries `Cargo.toml` ```toml [profile.release] debug = true ``` and follow the instructions in part 6 of [the PSPlink manual](https://usermanual.wiki/Document/psplinkmanual.1365336729/) ## Usage To use the `psp` crate in your own Rust programs, add it to `Cargo.toml` like any other dependency: ```toml [dependencies] psp = "x.y.z" ``` In your `main.rs` file, you need to setup a basic skeleton like so: ```rust #![no_std] #![no_main] // Create a module named "sample_module" with version 1.0 psp::module!("sample_module", 1, 0); fn psp_main() { psp::enable_home_button(); psp::dprintln!("Hello PSP from rust!"); } ``` Now you can simply run `cargo psp` to build your `EBOOT.PBP` file. You can also invoke `cargo psp --release` to create a release build. If you would like to customize your EBOOT with e.g. an icon or new title, you can create a `Psp.toml` file in the root of your project. Note that all keys are optional: ```toml title = "XMB title" xmb_icon_png = "path/to/24bit_144x80_image.png" xmb_background_png = "path/to/24bit_480x272_background.png" xmb_music_at3 = "path/to/ATRAC3_audio.at3" ``` More options can be found in the schema defintion [here](/cargo-psp/src/main.rs#L18-L100). ## `error[E0460]: found possibly newer version of crate ...` If you get an error like this: ``` error[E0460]: found possibly newer version of crate `panic_unwind` which `psp` depends on --> src/main.rs:4:5 | 4 | use psp::dprintln; | ^^^ | = note: perhaps that crate needs to be recompiled? ``` Simply clean your target directory and it will be fixed: ```sh $ cargo clean ```
