This is a wrapper/port of Partia 1, Partia 2 and Partia 3 for the PS Vita.
The port works by loading the official Android ARMv7 executables in memory, resolving their imports with native functions and patching them in order to properly run. By doing so, it's basically as if we emulate a minimalist Android environment in which we run natively the executables as they are.
Installation
Requirements:
- libshacccg.suprx
- kubridge.skprx
- fd_fix.skprx OR repatch_ex.skprx
- Game Data Files: Android
Notes:
- This port supports Partia 1, Partia 2 and Partia 3. The instructions below will follow how to install Partia 1.
- In order to install Partia 2 and Partia 3, just follow the same instructions but, when in the guide the folder partia1 is referred, change it to partia2 or partia3 respectively.
Install the required plugins:
- Install kubridge and FdFix by copying kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder and adding two entries to your config.txt under *KERNEL (change accordingly if you are using ur0:tai):
*KERNEL ux0:tai/kubridge.skprx ux0:tai/fd_fix.skprx
- Note: Don't install fd_fix.skprx if you're using rePatch plugin.
- (Optional) Install PSVshell to overclock your device to 500Mhz.
- Install libshacccg.suprx, if you don't have it already, by following this guide.
Install the game + getting game data files:
- Obtain your copy of Partia 1 legally for Android in form of an .apk file. You can get all the required files directly from your phone or by using an apk extractor you can find in the play store. The apk can be extracted with whatever Zip extractor you prefer (eg: WinZip, WinRar, etc...) since apk is basically a zip file. You can rename .apk to .zip to open them with your default zip extractor.
- Open the apk with your zip explorer and extract the files libc++_shared.so and libmain.so from the lib/armeabi-v7a folder to ux0:data/partia/partia1.
- Extract the assets folder inside ux0:data/partia/partia1.
