This is a wrapper/port of Professor Layton: Lost Future HD, the third installment of the popular Layton Series, 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.
Note: This port works only with versions of the game where an obb file was still used. It has been tested with v.1.0.1.

Story
After solving countless puzzling riddles, the famous archaeologist Professor Layton receives an incredibly unusual letter.
Surprisingly, the sender of this letter is none other than his assistant Luke... but from a decade ahead! 'Future Luke' finds himself in a rather troubling situation. The beloved city of London has descended into utter chaos.
At first, the professor suspects that Luke is merely playing a prank, trying to trick him with harmless jokes. However, he can't help but recollect the dreadful events that unfolded the week before...
It all began with the grand unveiling of humanity's inaugural time machine, a momentous occasion attended by distinguished individuals from across the nation.
During the demonstration, the time machine malfunctioned, causing a horrifying explosion that engulfed the entire audience.
Strangely, some of the participants vanished into thin air, including Prime Minister Bill Hawks.
Unable to shake the feeling that the time machine's explosion may somehow be connected, Professor Layton and Luke set off to the location mentioned in the letter, a clock shop on Midland Road in Baldwin, embarking on what might be the biggest mystery they have ever encountered.
