This is a wrapper/port of Galcon 2: Galactic Conquest and BREAKFINITY for the PS Vita.

The port works by loading the official Android ARMv7 executables in memory, resolving their imports with native functions and patching them 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 executables as they are.

Requirements

libshacccg.suprx (use ShaRKBR33D to install)
kubridge.skprx v.0.3 or higher
fd_fix.skprx OR repatch_ex.skprx
Game Data Files: Android

Setup Instructions (For End Users)

This port supports Galcon 2: Galactic Conquest and BREAKFINITY. The instructions reported here will follow how to install Galcon 2: Galactic Conquest.

In order to install BREAKFINITY, just follow the same instructions but, when in the guide the folder game1 is referred, change it to game2.

Install kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx 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_ex.skprx plugin

Optional: Install Psvshell Vita to overclock your device to 500Mhz.
Install libshacccg.suprx, if you don't have it already, by running ShaRKBR33D to install.
Obtain your copy of Galcon 2: Galactic Conquest 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.
Open the apk with your zip explorer and extract the files limain.so from the lib/armeabi-v7a folder to ux0:data/hassey/game1.
Extract the assets folder inside ux0:data/hassey/game1.
