This is a wrapper/port of World of Goo for the PS Vita. World of Goo is a multiple award winning physics based puzzle/construction game made entirely by two guys.
The port works by loading the official Android ARMv7 executables 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.
Install 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 files:
- Obtain your copy of World of Goo 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.
- Open the apk with your zip explorer and extract the file libworldofgoo.so from the lib/armeabi-v7a folder to ux0:data/goo.
- Extract the folders res and properties from the assets folder inside ux0:data/goo.
User guide
The main objective of the game is to get a requisite number of goo balls to a pipe designed to represent the exit. In order to do so, the player must use the goo balls to construct bridges, towers, and other structures to overcome gravity and various terrain difficulties such as chasms, hills, spikes, windmills, or cliffs.
There are several types of goo balls in the game, each of which has unique properties. The player must exploit combinations of these goo balls in order to complete each level.
