Introduction:
After Rejuvenate release i was waiting for new USB cable for PSVITA just to start porting my LUA interpreter to PSVITA and i think i reached a good point to release it for Revitalize competition.

Description:
Lua Player Plus is a multiplatform LUA interpreter currently available on PSP (lpp-c++ / lpp-plugin), 3DS (lpp-3ds) and PSVITA (lpp-vita).
At current stage, it's good to make 2D games and apps but final goal is to provide a complete set of tools to make any kind of projects and make them easily portable towards consoles (lpp-3ds and lpp-vita for example both use a similar code syntax).

Features:
- GPU rendering support.
- FTP server for fast scripts debug.
- Controls and touch support.
- Alpha blending support.
- Native support to BMP, PNG and JPG images.
- Native support to TTF fonts.
- Built-in script selector menu for multi-homebrews loading.
- I/O functions support.
- Arithmetical functions support (mathlib).
- Minor functions support (Like battery ones).

In the RAR file you'll find the velf file to be sent through VitaDefiler, lpp folder you have to put in cache0:/ where are located all the scripts lpp can run, image.jpg file needed for image sample and a little documentation to all functions available in the interpreter. (Viewable also here: http://rinnegatamante.it/lpp-vita_doc.html )

Credits:
- All vita-toolchain and Rejuvenate devs to make this possible.
- xerpi for vita2dlib and ftpVita srcs and for his awesome help on Skype .

Essentially what does this mean for the ps vita?

Pretty cool.
Is cache0: the only file system that we can use?

Yeah, i have to test all vita-toolchain funcs and study more about PSVITA filesystems but i planned to add as more feature (like other filesystems support) as i can like i'm doing also with lpp-3ds for the 3DS scene.

LUA is a pretty easy-to-use language so it could bring more developers to the scene.
Also all lpp-3ds homebrews are easily portable to lpp-vita (I'm planning for example to port 3DSudoku [Don't know if it's spam to post GBAt*mp links so if you want to see what i'm talking about you can search it on Google] to PSVITA when i finish to add TTF fonts support to lpp-vita).

Okay, do you have a method to figure out how much space is left on cache0? Is cache0 cleared on each boot (guessing based off of the name)?

cache0 is the only one that both PSMDev apps and Unity apps can use. There's pss0 for PSMDev and unity0 for Unity.
Also, if I remember correctly, both those file systems mount to cache0:/VitaDefilerClient/Documents when running Rejuvenate

You can fill cache0 until memory card if full.
cache0 is not cleared unless you delete the app

Awesome

cache0 is not cleared so LUA scripts and data used by them can stay without any problem here.

Wow!! I think it's time to create something for Ps Vita (grande zio!! Ci sta, bordello!)
