VitaMonoLoader is a simple Mono library for developing C# applications mostly used on Linux.

Currently only Windows is supported for host. VDS (SCE SDK) and vitasdk are supported for PSP2.

User guide

Installation (host side):

Download and install latest Mono for Windows.
Download UnitySetup-Playstation-Vita-Support-for-Editor-2018.3.0a2.exe, open it as archive and extract $INSTDIR$_59_ folder
Add following to your PATH enviroment variable:
<MonoInstallPath>/bin (where mono.exe is located).
<UnitySupportExtractPath>/Tools (where mono-xcompiler.exe is located).

Installation (PSP2 side):

Download and install CapUnlocker plugin.
Copy Media folder from extracted Unity support installer to app0:.
Copy machine.config from extracted Unity support installer to app0:Media/Managed/mono/2.0.
Copy modules from current release to app0:Media/Modules.

Compiling C# code:

Compile your C# code to managed .dll by executing: mcs -sdk:2 -target:library -out:<MyDllName>.dll <MySrcName>.cs
Compile your managed .dll to AOT assembly .s by executing: mono-xcompiler.exe --aot=full,asmonly,nodebug,static <MyDllName>.dll
Add AOT assembly .s files as compile targets in your Vita app project.
Your PSP2 application must be compiled in ARM mode:
- For VDS (SCE SDK): use -Xthumb=0 (can also be set in project settings)
- For vitasdk: compile with -marm

Using AOT assembly on PSP2:

Copy managed .dll file to app0:Media/Managed.
Add AOT assembly .s file as compilation target in your PSP2 self project.
To load AOT assembly on PSP2, call:

extern void** mono_aot_module_<MyDllName>_info;

VMLRegisterAssembly(mono_aot_module_<MyDllName>_info);
