This is a port of the TheXTech (Super Mario Bros X) for PS Vita.

TheXTech is a port of an old VB6 engine, purely written in C++. It completely reproduces the old SMBX 1.3 engine (aside from it's Editor), includes many of its logical bugs (critical bugs that lead the game to crash or freeze got fixed).

SMBX (Super Mario Bros. X) is a platformer game originally published in 2009. The game is a fan game based on the Mario series. Game mechanics combines such games of the series as: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. There are also in SMBX elements from new games in the series and from other games like Metroid and Legend of Zelda.

Features

  • Five playable characters including: Peach, Toad, and Link.
  • Over 60 cleverly designed levels in the two default episodes.
  • Easy to use, real-time level editor with thousands of objects to choose from.
  • Both classic and brand new power ups such as Yoshi and The Billy Gun.
  • Two player co-op action with an intelligent camera that splits and combines.
  • An intense battle mode that will leave you coming back for more.
  • SMBX was made open source by its author Andrew Spinks in 2020, and then ported to C++ by developer Wohlstand, under the name TheXTech.

Installation

Note: While possible to move all assets over FTP, it's much faster and more reliable to mount your Vita over USB or move your Vita2SD to your computer and copy that way.

Before you install, ensure you have extracted libshacccg.suprx (you can use ShaRKBR33D to install).

Created a folder named TheXTech in the ux0:data folder (ux0:data/TheXTech/).

Download and unpack the Assets archive into the TheXTech directory.

Known issues

  • Graphics masks may not currently work for a variety of reasons ranging from:
    • Lack of original masks in graphics directory
    • Lack of masks found in level or world directory
    • Lack of RAM, etc. etc.
  • Do not change your input device in settings. Remapping buttons is ok, but if you change input it will be changed to a non-existent keyboard device. If you do this, just force exit the game and settings won’t be saved.
  • Mask based graphics (eg: npc-1.gif & npc-1m.gif) currently are not working. The logic is there, but currently the images are not combining.
  • Slowdowns may happen.
  • Some Midi tracks may kill performance (specifcially: using the libOPNMidi backend. this is pretty rare and midi support through libOPN and libADL are all relatively new to SMBX).
  • Cheats currently don’t work.
