This is a wrapper/port of Pekka Kana 2 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.

Installation

Requirements:

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

Installing the plugins:

Install kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx by copying kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder and adding two entries to your config.txt under *KERNEL (change accordingly if yours is in ur0:tai):

 *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.

Adding the game files:

Obtain your copy of Pekka Kana 2 legally for Android in form of an .apk file. 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.
Open the apk with your zip explorer and extract the files libPK2.so,libc++_shared.so and libzip.so from the lib/armeabi-v7a folder to ux0:data/pekka2.
Extract the assets folder inside ux0:data/pekka2.

Screenshots

Known issues

Game runs at a slower framerate than normal. In order to make the game play as if it's fullspeed, enable Double Game Speed option from the Options.

Changelog

v1.0

Initial Release.
