This is a wrapper/port of Crazy Taxi Classic Android 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.

In Crazy Taxi, the player assumes the role of a taxi driver who must accumulate money by delivering passengers to their destinations in the fastest time possible, earning tips by performing “crazy stunts” before the time runs out. The franchise has been recognized for its innovative gameplay design which is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Installation

Requirements:

  • libshacccg.suprx
  • kubridge.skprx
  • fd_fix.skprx OR repatch_ex.skprx
  • Game Data Files: Android

Installing the required plugins:

  • Install kubridge and FdFix by copying kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder and adding two entries to your config.txt under *KERNEL (change to ur0 if you store the plugin there):
 *KERNEL
 ux0:tai/kubridge.skprx
 ux0:tai/fd_fix.skprx
  • Note: Don't install fd_fix.skprx if you're using repatch plugin.
  • (Optional) Install PSVshell to overclock your device to 500Mhz.
  • Install libshacccg.suprx, if you don't have it already, by following this guide.

Add the game data files:

  • Obtain your copy of Crazy Taxi Classic legally from the Google Play store in form of an .apk file and one or more .obb files (usually located inside the /sdcard/android/obb/com.sega.CrazyTaxi/) folder. You can get all the required files directly from your phone or by using an apk extractor you can find in the play store. The apk can be extracted with whatever Zip extractor you prefer (eg: WinZip, WinRar, etc...) since apk is basically a zip file. You can rename .apk to .zip to open them with your default zip extractor.
  • Copy the .obb file to ux0:data/crazytaxi and rename it to main.obb.
  • Open the apk and extract libgl2jni.so from the lib/armeabi-v7a folder to ux0:data/crazytaxi.
  • Install CRAZYTAXI.vpk on your PS Vita.
