vitacompanion by devnoname120 is a user module which makes developing homebrews for the PS Vita device easier. It does two things:

  • Open a FTP server on port 1337.
  • Listen to commands on port 1338.

Installation

Run VitaShell on your PS Vita, press Select to activate the FTP server and copy vitacompanion.suprx to ur0:tai/.

Finally, add the following line to ur0:tai/config.txt

*main
ur0:tai/vitacompanion.suprx

User guide

FTP server

You can upload stuff to your vita by running:

curl --ftp-method nocwd -T somefile.zip ftp://IP_TO_VITA:1337/ux0:/somedir/

Or you can use your regular FTP client.

Command server

Send a command by opening a TCP connection to the port 1338 of your Vita.

For example, you can reboot your vita by running:

echo reboot | nc IP_TO_PSVITA 1338

Note that you need to append a newline character to the command that you send. echo already adds one, which is why it works here.

Available commands

Command Arguments Explanation
destroy none kill all running applications
