Not A Hero Vita

This is a wrapper/port of Not A Hero 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.

Notes

• The port has been tested with v.12.0 of the game.

Changelog

v1.0.1

• Added multilanguage support.
• Made two trophies hidden to mimic PS4 trophy pack.
• Fixed a bug causing some trophies to not properly unlock.

v1.0

Setup Instructions (For End Users)

• 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:

Build Instructions (For Developers)

In order to build the loader, you'll need a vitasdk build fully compiled with softfp usage. You can find a precompiled version here: https://github.com/vitasdk/buildscripts/actions/runs/1102643776. Additionally, you'll need these libraries to be compiled as well with -mfloat-abi=softfp added to their CFLAGS:

• SDL2_vitagl

• libmathneon

  • make install
    

• vitaShaRK

  • make install
    

• kubridge

  • mkdir build && cd build
    cmake .. && make install
    

• vitaGL

  • make SOFTFP_ABI=1 HAVE_GLSL_SUPPORT=1 NO_DEBUG=1 install
    

After all these requirements are met, you can compile the loader with the following commands:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
