Building Godot 2.1 for PlayStation Portable

These steps must be performed under Linux / Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), or macOS.

Dependencies

If you haven't done so already, install the dependencies called for by the official Godot docs

• Install pspdev

  # Clone the repository
  git clone https://github.com/pspdev/pspdev
  cd pspdev
  
  # Bootstrap
  # replace this with the distro you are using
  # options are: `arch`, `debian-ubuntu`, `fedora`, `gentoo`, `mac-os`
  ./prepare-debian-ubuntu.sh
  
  # Add to PATH (add this to ~/.bashrc for persistence after reboot)
  export PSPDEV=~/pspdev
  export PATH=$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin # add pspdev tool to $PATH
  
  # Finish install
  ./build-all.sh

Getting the source code

1. Clone the repo
   git clone https://github.com/Homebrodot/Godot
2. Navigate to the cloned repo
   cd Godot
3. Checkout the main/2.1 branch
   git checkout origin/main/2.1

Building

1. Run scons platform=psp in the root of the repo. Add target=release to the end to build for release instead of debug.

Exporting for PlayStation Portable

1. Go to export -> Linux -> Export zip/pck and name the file data.pck
2. Create a folder on your PSP in /PSP/GAME/ and call it whatever you like
3. Drop the EBOOT.PBP file into that folder
4. Copy the data.pck file in that same folder

When updating the game on the PSP, just replacing the data.pck file is enough.

The editor releases add a PSP exporter to the list - it will generate a homebrew EBOOT.PBP file that can be copied to your PSP under PSP/GAME.
