This is a port of Desert Golfing 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 (ShaRKBR33D)
libfmodstudio.suprx
Kubridge
FdFix OR repatch_ex.skprx
Android game data files (tested with v.1.61 of the game)

Installing the plugins:

Install kubridge and FdFix by copying kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder (usually ux0:tai) 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.
(Optional) Install PSVshell to overclock your device to 500Mhz.
Install libshacccg.suprx, if you don't have it already, by following this guide.
Extract libfmodstudio.suprx, if you don't have it already, by following this guide.

Installing the game:

Obtain your copy of Desert Golfing 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 libcrusty.so from lib/armeabi-v7a folder to ux0:data/desertgolfing.
Extract the assets folder in ux0:data/desertgolfing.
Install desertgolfing.vpk with VitaShell.
