Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation is a gripping first-person shooter released in 2011 by Gameloft Montreal for various mobile platforms. Set in the year 2028, the game presents a tense scenario where North Korea, Russia, and Pakistan form an alliance to invade the United States, plunging the world into a global conflict.

Modern Combat 3 boasts a thrilling 13-mission campaign filled with impressive cinematics and unforgettable moments. Players engage in intense battles, navigating through a war-torn landscape as they strive to thwart the invasion forces.

This version of PS Vita is a loader specifically designed for the Android release of Modern Combat 3 v1.1.7g. Built upon TheFloW’s Android SO Loader, this tool creates a customized, minimalist Android-like environment on the PS Vita, allowing the official ARMv7 game executable to run seamlessly.

Setup Instructions

In order to properly install the game, you'll have to follow these steps precisely:

• (Recommended) Make sure that you are either on 3.60 enso or 3.65 enso firmware version. Other versions may work too, but no support are provided for them! If you experience any issues apart from described in the Known Issues section, please upgrade or downgrade your firmware accordingly before asking for support.
• Install or update kubridge and FdFix by copying kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder (usually ur0:tai) and adding two entries to your config.txt under *KERNEL:

  *KERNEL
  ur0:tai/kubridge.skprx
  ur0:tai/fd_fix.skprx

! ⚠️ Don't install `fd_fix.skprx` if you're using the rePatch plugin!

- ⚠️ Even if you had `kubridge.skprx` installed before, most likely you still
- need to update it, since a new version of the plugin was released at the same
- time as this port. kubridge v0.3.1 or newer is required to run the game!

• Make sure you have libshacccg.suprx in the ur0:/data/ folder on your console. If you don't, use ShaRKBR33D to get it quickly and easily.
• Legally obtain your copy of Modern Combat 3 for Android in a form of an .apk file and data files. This port is tailored for v1.1.7g (latest) version of the game. Other versions may work too but no support is provided for them.
  • If you have it installed on your phone, you can get all the required files directly from it or by using any APK extractor you can find on Google Play.

ℹ️ Verify that your build is the correct one using sha1sum (can also be found as an online tool). sha1sum for lib/armeabi-v7a/libModernCombat3.so must be be0d5e8779899e081a538b3930ec711d2df8aeb4

• Open the .apk with any zip explorer (like 7-Zip) and extract the file lib/armeabi-v7a/libModernCombat3.so from the .apk into ux0:data/mc3/ on your Vita. Example of correct resulting path: ux0:data/mc3/libModernCombat3.so
• Fetch the game data files from your device. You can find them at /sdcard/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM3HM. Copy both files you find there (patch.11428.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM3HM.obb and main.1120.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM3HM.obb) to ux0:data/mc3/ on your Vita. Example of correct resulting path: ux0:data/mc3/main.1120.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM3HM.obb
• Unpack the video files from the game data. To do that, open your patch.11428.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM3HM.obb with any zip explorer (like 7-Zip) and extract all files to /ux0:/data/mc3/data/briefing on your Vita. Example of correct resulting path: ux0:data/mc3/data/briefing/Briefing_M01.mp4
• Install ModernCombat3.vpk (from Releases).
• (Optional) Install CapUnlocker. It may give you a bit better performance.
• (Optional) For trophies to be unlockable, install NoTrpDRM.

Screenshots

Known Issues

1. Multiplayer doesn't work, same as on Android, because the servers have been shut down.
2. Cross button works only in main menu. For in-game interaction prompts and pause menu you will have to use the touchscreen.
3. The highlight effect on interactable objects is constant instead of flashing like in the original game due to some GXM limitations.
4. In Mission 7, crosshair is not showing when the sniper rifle is zoomed in. You will have to no-scope it :^)
