This is a port/wrapper of the mobile version of Human Resource Machine for the PS Vita.

Note: To use this wrapper, you must have a legally acquired copy of Human Resource Machine for Android v.1.0.5, as it is the last version that includes an ARMv7 build.

Installation

Requirements:

libshacccg.suprx (ShaRKBR33D)
Kubridge
FdFix OR repatch_ex.skprx
Android game data files.

Instructions:

Copy kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder and add 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.
Install the vpk with VitaShell.
Obtain your copy of Human Resource Machine legally for Android in form of an .apk file.
Open the apk with your zip explorer and extract the files "libc++_shared.so" and "libHumanResourceMachine.so" from the "lib/armeabi-v7a" folder to ux0:data/hrm.
Extract the "assets" folder from inside the apk to ux0:data/hrm.
Download datafiles.zip from the Release page and extract it in ux0:data.

User guide

Human Resource Machine is a puzzle game based on Assembly and is designed for those who love to solve complex problems. Each level presents a new challenge from your boss, which you must automate by programming your little office worker. Successfully completing a level will lead to a promotion and another year of work in the vast office building.

No prior programming experience is necessary to enjoy this game, as programming is essentially puzzle-solving. Strip away the scary symbols and coding jargon, and programming is actually quite simple, logical, and even beautiful. Anyone can understand and have fun with it! If you're already an expert, there will be extra challenges to test your skills.

+This is a port/wrapper of the mobile version of Human Resource Machine for the PS Vita.
-The port functions by loading the official Android ARMv7 executable into memory and resolving its imports with native functions, followed by patching it to ensure proper functionality. This essentially creates a minimalist Android environment, allowing the executable to run natively.
