This is a wrapper/port of Final Fantasy V 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.

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 accordingly if you are using 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 data file:

Obtain your copy of Final Fantasy V 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.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFV_GP/) 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/ff5 and rename it to main.obb.
Open the apk and extract libff5lib.so from the lib/armeabi-v7a folder to ux0:data/ff5.
Open the apk and extract the assets folder contents to ux0:data/ff5/assets.
Install FF5.vpk on your PS Vita.
