A port of the adult rhythm game Beat Banger for the PSVita.

Own a legal copy of the game on steam
Hold Win + R together to bring up the run box and then type steam://open/console into the prompt to bring up the steam console
In the steam console, type the command "download_depot 1813430 1813432 1018289862284499489" to get the required files from the correct version of beat banger
Download BeatBanger Patcher from either here or on itch.io
drag beat banger pck into the patcher so it is at the same level as the bat files.
run the correct bat file corresponding to your operating system
with the new pck,go onto your vita and go to ux0:app/BEAT33322/game_data and paste it inside

Create the folder Ux0/data/BeatBanger
Inside Ux0:data/BeatBanger create a mods folder then put all your converted mods in there and they should show up inside the game.

Have this runtime installed.

Move all of your RELEASE (check below if mods are legacy or demo) mods so they are all at the same file level e.g. BBVita/Modstest/(All you downloaded mods here).
Run the converter and you should be given a prompt to paste a file location into.
You can find this location by going to your mods folder and going one layer up. In the above example you would be in the Modstest folder so you can see all your downloaded mods.
Click on the bar to the left of your search bar and you should be given a file location, copy and paste this into the converter and press enter.
Wait until the all the mods are sorted through and command prompt has vanished, then go back to where you stored your mods and they should all be set for moving onto the vita.

So legacy and demo mods dont run natively on beatbanger release however there are converters that allow you to convert legacy/demo mods to release.

Oldish beat banger builds, id recommend a february 2025 build, drag zipped legacy mods onto the screen and the game should convert them automatically and output them in your mods folder.
a community made converter, i modified the biggest one to be less abysmally dogshit but it still isnt perfect, donwload can be found here.
After changing them to release ,THEN put them into the beat banger converter, don't do it the other way around.
