Kero Blaster, Pink Hour and Pink Heaven (Android version) port for PS Vita.

Installation

Requirements:

• 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:

 *KERNEL
 ux0:tai/kubridge.skprx
 ux0:tai/fd_fix.skprx

• Note Don't install fd_fix.skprx if you're using repatch plugin.

Adding game data files:

• Obtain your copy of Kero Blaster v1.6.1 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.
• Create a folder kero under ux0:data
• Open the apk with your zip explorer, extract the assets folder from your .apk file to ux0:data/kero. The result would be ux0:data/kero/assets
• Still in the apk, extract the file libpxgame.so from the lib/armeabi-v7a folder to ux0:data/kero.

(Optional) If you want to install Pink Hour or Pink Heaven, following the steps above, except save the assets folder and libpxgame.so file under a new path:

• For Pink Hour v1.6.1, save them to ux0:data/kero/pink_hour
• For Pink Heaven v1.6.1, save them to ux0:data/kero/pink_heaven

Finally, install Kero-Blaster.vpk on your PS Vita (the only difference between the two VPKs is the language of its bubble title).
