This is a patch that allows you to run Punch Club on the PS Vita.

Punch Club is a sporting management simulation developed by Lazy Bear Games and published by tinyBuild. In the game, the player manages an upcoming boxer in training and preparation for a series of boxing matches at a local club, while searching for clues of who killed their father.

Note: You must own Punch Club on Steam to use this patch. If you own a DLC, re-download the game without it.

Installation

Recommended plugins:

ioplus.skprx
Full CPU Overclock (500Mhz)

Prerequisites:

Install the Punch Club .VPK using VitaShell. Do not attempt to launch the game yet, as it will crash without the required files.
Ensure you have purchased and downloaded the game from Steam.

Steam version:

Download PunchClubVitaSteam.zip from releases and extract it to a folder on your PC.
Copy the Steam game folder into the extracted folder. Note: Your PunchClubVitaSteam folder should look like this:

 └── PunchClubVitaSteam/
  ├── Punch Club/  <- ../steamapps/common/Punch Club
  ├── vcdiff/
  ├── APPLYPATCH.bat
  ├── deterministic.exe
  └── xdelta3-x.x.x-x86_64.exe

Run APPLYPATCH.bat and wait for the process to complete (this can take 15–25 minutes depending on your system).
Once completed, you will see a file named PunchClubVita.zip.
Using VitaShell, connect your PS Vita to your PC and copy the extracted contents of PunchClubVita.zip (zip file should be around 40-50MB) to ux0:app/PNCH11111/.
Your PNCH11111 folder on your Vita should look like this:

 └── PNCH11111/
  ├── Media/
  ├── sce_module/
  ├── sce_sys/
  └── eboot.bin

Troubleshooting:

Ensure that your PS Vita is properly overclocked.
Verify that you have the correct game version (Steam) and have followed the steps for your version.
If ux0:app does not appear in File Explorer, make sure you have visibility of hidden directories enabled.
