This is a wrapper/port of Pekka Kana 2 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
- 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 (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 Pekka Kana 2 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 libPK2.so,libc++_shared.so and libzip.so from the lib/armeabi-v7a folder to ux0:data/pekka2.
- Extract the assets folder inside ux0:data/pekka2.
