{{#seo: |title=Vita Homebrew Games (Puzzle) - GameBrew |title_mode=append |image=professorlaytoncuriousvillagevita.png |image_alt=Professor Layton: Curious Village HD Vita }} This is a wrapper/port of Professor Layton: Curious Village HD, the first installment of the Layton Series, for the PS Vita. The port works by loading the official Android ARMv7 executable in memory, resolving its imports with native functions and patching it in order to properly run. By doing so, it's basically as if we emulate a minimalist Android environment in which we run natively the executable as is. The homebrew was participated in the FuHEN Homebrew Contest (Port, 2nd place). ==Installation== Requirements: * libshacccg.suprx ([[ShaRKBR33D Vita|ShaRKBR33D]]) * [[Kubridge Vita|Kubridge]] * [[FdFix Vita|FdFix]] OR repatch_ex.skprx * Android game data files. Install the plugins: * Install [[Kubridge Vita|kubridge]] and [[FdFix Vita|FdFix]] by copying <code>kubridge.skprx</code> and <code>fd_fix.skprx</code> to your taiHEN plugins folder (usually <code>ux0:tai</code>) and adding two entries to your <code>config.txt</code> under <code>*KERNEL</code>: <pre> *KERNEL ux0:tai/kubridge.skprx ux0:tai/fd_fix.skprx</pre> * Note: Don't install fd_fix.skprx if you're using rePatch plugin. * (Optional) Install [[PSVshell Vita|PSVshell]] to overclock your device to 500Mhz. * Install <code>libshacccg.suprx</code>, if you don't have it already, by following [https://samilops2.gitbook.io/vita-troubleshooting-guide/shader-compiler/extract-libshacccg.suprx this guide]. Install the game: * Obtain your copy of Professor Layton: Curious Village HD legally for Android in form of an <code>.apk</code> file and an obb. [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11012976/how-do-i-get-the-apk-of-an-installed-app-without-root-access You can get all the required files directly from your phone] or by using an apk extractor you can find in the play store. * Open the apk with your zip explorer and extract the file <code>libll1.so</code> from the <code>lib/armeabi-v7a</code> folder to <code>ux0:data/layton_curious</code>. * Extract the folder <code>assets</code> inside <code>ux0:data/layton_curious</code>. * Extract the <code>obb</code> file in <code>ux0:data/layton_curious/data</code> and rename the file <code>main.obb</code>. * Install the VPK file with [[VitaShell]]. Compatibility/Notes: * This port works only with versions of the game where an obb file was still used. It has been tested with v.1.0.1 and v.1.0.3. * Very rarely, videos can freeze or lack audio. If that happens, restart the homebrew (sceAvPlayer bug). You'll still be able to skip the video as usual. ==User guide== ===About the game=== Discover the game that started it all! With over 17 million units sold worldwide, Professor Layton and the Curious Village shaped the puzzle-adventure genre and launched a legacy. The story begins with the duo traveling to the remote settlement of St. Mystere to search for the Golden Apple, a family treasure hidden somewhere in the village. Featuring a charming old-world artistic style and a quirky cast of characters, the game's puzzles, created by renowned author Akira Tago, will test your observation, logic, and critical thinking skills with over 100 brain teasers. ===Layton Series Vita port=== * [[Professor Layton: Curious Village HD Vita]] by Rinnegatamante. * [[Professor Layton: Pandora's Box HD Vita]] by Rinnegatamante. * [[Professor Layton: Lost Future HD Vita]] by Rinnegatamante. ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/vitahomebrews/professorlaytoncuriousvillagevita-01.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/vitahomebrews/professorlaytoncuriousvillagevita-02.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/vitahomebrews/professorlaytoncuriousvillagevita-03.png ==Media== '''Professor Layton and the Curious Village HD for Mobile Trailer (U.S.)''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP0Rmm0iM-g Layton Series]) <br> <youtube width="640">yP0Rmm0iM-g</youtube> ==Known issues== Post puzzle solution animation is a bit slow.
