A plugin to create a ram disk to mount at uma0.

With this, very simple and fast IO is possible.

Is this essentially just creating a partition from an existing drive (ux0 for example, being my hard drive for my pstv) or would I also need an SD2VITA for my PSTV to be able to use this?

By default vmass creates storage of size 16MiB.

It is useful as fast temporary storage as its contents are wiped at power off or reboot.

It's possible even on OFW but it doesn't do too much. There is a program called uke-torne in JP PSN. Download it and it would generate a virtual disk in UX0 and that part will be mounted as a USB flash drive when you hook your Vita to a PC or other devices (without the need of CMA/QCMA). So you can carry some files in your Vita this way.
