About The Game

Geometry Dash is a series of side-scrolling music platforming games developed by RobTop. The game is renowned for its challenging levels and enduring legacy, attracting millions of players and cultivating a dedicated fanbase that creates user levels to this day.

This repository includes a loader for the Android release of Geometry Dash, utilizing TheFloW's Android .so Loader. The loader offers a customized, minimalist Android-like environment specifically designed to run the official ARMv7 game executables on the PS Vita.

Please note that this software does not contain the original game's code, executables, assets, or any other non-redistributable components. The authors of this software do not endorse or support any form of piracy. To play and launch the game on their PS Vita device, users must obtain their own legally acquired copy of the game in the form of an .apk file.

Requirements

libshacccg.suprx
libfmodstudio.suprx
kubridge.skprx
fd_fix.skprx OR repatch_ex.skprx
Game Data Files: Android

Set-Up (for End-Users)

In order to properly install the game, you'll have to follow these steps precisely.

Please note that only version 2.2.13 has been tested as of 24/01/24.

Install kubridge and FdFix by copying kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder (usually ur0:tai) and adding two entries to your config.txt under *KERNEL:

  *KERNEL
  ur0:tai/kubridge.skprx
  ur0:tai/fd_fix.skprx

Note: don't install fd_fix.skprx if you're using rePatch plugin!

Make sure you have libshacccg.suprx in the ur0:/data/ folder on your console. If you don't, follow this guide to extract it.
Also make sure that you have libfmodstudio.suprx, libc.suprx and libfios2.suprx in the same folder. If you don't, follow this guide to extract those files.
Legally obtain your copy of Geometry Dash for Android in form of an .apk file. You can get all the required files directly from your phone or by using any APK extractor you can find on Google Play.
Open the .apk with any zip explorer (like 7-Zip) and extract every single audio file and folders sfx and songs from the .apk into ux0:data/gdash/assets. Example of resulting path: ux0:data/gdash/assets/songs/10000104.ogg, ux0:data/gdash/assets/menuLoop.mp3.
Obtain the .so file called libcocos2dcpp.so from the .apk and place it in ux0:data/gdash/.
Place the .apk file in ux0:data/gdash/ and rename as GeometryDash.apk.
Install gdash.vpk (from Releases).

However, there's gamepad support to emulate some controls:

D-PAD	Move Player (The Tower)
Cross Button	Jump
