Pocket Figma

A Figma file viewer for the Sony PSP and PS Vita.

The Paper Wireframe Kit (Community) — 14,430 nodes, 2,293 component instances, hand-drawn Patrick Hand type, photos, masks — baked at compile time into streamed CLUT8 tile pyramids and panned with the analog nub at 60 fps on a 2004 handheld. No Figma runtime, no fonts, no network: the device never parses, it only consumes.

whole page at 8%	one component at 100%

Both frames are the executable's own 480×272 framebuffer, captured in the deterministic emulator the byte-exact tests run on. The full story — what actually lives inside a .fig, the overrideKey bug, the tile cooker, the streaming architecture — is in the blog post: Pocket Figma: Figma at 333 MHz.

Built on PocketJS and its deep-zoom engine layer (TILESET pak entries, loadTileTexture/freeTexture streaming ops, the <DeepZoom> component). pocket-figma is the first app in the pocket-<product> family; its pocket.json is the reference instance of the Pocket app manifest.

Build

bun run setup         # submodules + vendored deps
bun run bootstrap     # install the pinned PSP toolchain into the shared cache
bun run bake          # regenerate committed 1x + 2x tile pyramids from the .fig
bun run check:platforms  # validate the PSP baseline against PSP and Vita
bun run build         # dist/main.js + dist/main.pak (bundle + baked tiles)
bun run psp -- -r     # dist/EBOOT.PBP — copy to ms0:/PSP/GAME/PocketFigma/
bun run vita -- -r    # dist/vita/PocketFigma.vpk — native 960x544 Vita build
bun run desktop       # run windowed via the vendored uihost (wgpu)
bun run golden        # byte-exact 960x544 controller/touch/fullscreen goldens
bun run e2e:vita      # build the VPK and compare native Vita3K captures

PSP builds resolve the normalized SDK in a fixed order: PSP_SDK, then PSPDEV, then Pocket's versioned shared cache at $XDG_CACHE_HOME/pocket-stack/psp/sdk/sdk-noabicalls-normalized-2026-06-19/mipsel-sony-psp (or the same path under ~/.cache). Both SDK environment variables are then exported to the build, so Rust and QuickJS cannot silently select different toolchains. The SDK, rust-psp, and quickjs-rs sources and exact revisions come from PocketJS's single toolchain manifest and the pocket-stack organization repositories. No DreamCart checkout is required.

The Vita target keeps PocketJS's 480×272 logical canvas while selecting the 512-pixel (@2x) version of each 256-logical-pixel tile. Layout, pan and zoom therefore stay identical to PSP, but Figma vectors, type and photos reach the native 960×544 display with twice the raster detail. Selection comes from platform.pixelRatio, not a Vita-specific branch. Physical buttons and the left stick map onto the same deterministic input contract as PSP. On Vita, front-panel contacts arrive in the same logical coordinate space: one finger directly pans with inertial release, while two fingers pan and pinch around their centroid. PSP keeps the complete controller fallback because touch is declared as an optional input.touch enhancement rather than a requirement. The release VPK has the stable Vita Title ID PFIG00001, so it installs as Pocket Figma alongside PocketJS demos and OpenStrike instead of replacing them. Its final package goes through PocketJS's shared Vita asset resolver: Pocket Figma's icon, 840×500 background, 280×158 startup image, and template overlay the framework defaults as one validated LiveArea contract.

Vita builds expect VitaSDK (via $VITASDK, falling back to ~/vitasdk), cargo-vita, and the pinned Rust nightly in crates/pocket-figma-vita/rust-toolchain.toml. The native E2E command also expects Vita3K to have been launched once so it can clone a local config.yml; it uses its own VitaFS below out/ and never rewrites the emulator's normal configuration.

The baked tiles are committed: 5.9 MB at 1x and 15.7 MB at 2x across four pages. bun run bake regenerates both sets serially from a local copy of the .fig (--fig=<path>, defaults to ~/Downloads/Paper Wireframe Kit (Community).fig). The density-2 bake writes @2x.bin siblings and tiles@2x.ts without replacing the base pak.json. bun run cover regenerates the XMB and LiveArea art (ImageMagick is used for Vita's palette-PNG format): the icon is the Figma logo mark, drawn by the script itself; the backdrop is the kit's own cover, rendered from the .fig.

The result on a real PSP's game menu, screenshotted on the hardware itself. Real hardware needs custom firmware; PPSSPP runs the EBOOT as-is.
