NXEngine EVO is a re-implementation of Cave Story ported to the PS Vita.
The port is built based on NXEngine, which is an open source reproduction of the original Cave Story engine created by Caitlin Shaw.
Features
- Differences from the original NXEngine:
- Port to SDL2 (thanks to PIlin).
- More resolutions and proper widescreen support up to Full HD (thanks to EXL).
- Animated character portraits.
- Modern main menu.
- Credits graphics specific to the Mimiga Mask ending.
- Localization support.
- Force feedback support.
- Custom soundtrack support.
- Initial mod support.
- Vita/Switch versions.
- Cleaner and partly-refactored code.
- Tons of gameplay-related bugfixes.
- Removed built-in data extractor.
- Removed replays, as they were buggy/not implemented anyway.
Installation
Install the VPK on your homebrew enabled PS Vita or PSTV.
Vita data directory is ux0:/data/nxengine/.
