This is a wrapper/port of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic for the PS Vita.

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is a mobile game that combines the best features of the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Developed by Origin8 Technologies Ltd., this game offers players the nostalgic experience of managing their own amusement park. The game includes over 95 scenarios and a Scenario Editor for unleashing your creativity. You can design coasters, customize landscapes, and handle park finances to build the ultimate amusement empire.

Installation

Requirements:

libshacccg.suprx (ShaRKBR33D)
libfmodstudio.suprx
kubridge.skprx
Android game data files (tested with v.1.2.1)

For the plugins:

Install kubridge and FdFix by copying kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder (usually ux0:tai) and adding two entries to your config.txt under *KERNEL:

  *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.
Extract libfmodstudio.suprx, if you don't have it already, by following this guide.

For the game:

Install the vpk from Release page.
Obtain your copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic legally for Android in form of an .apk and two .obb files.
Open the apk with your zip explorer and extract all the .ogg files inside the assets folder to ux0:data/rct/assets. You can then remove those files from inside the apk to save space.
Place the .apk file, renamed as game.apk, inside ux0:data/rct.
Place the two .obb files, renamed respectively as main.obb and patch.obb inside ux0:data/rct.

Notes and tips

Very rarely, game may crash at boot. If it happens, just restart the app.
The game can tank heavily framerate depending on how much is going on. Disabling music rides should help mitigate framerate issues.
The game ships in two versions: a speedhack one (default) and a safe one (launchable by clicking on the related option in the Livearea.) The speedhack version will have a way better framerate in exchange of some occasional glitching and flickering.
In-app purchase DLCs can be unlocked. Check the "DLCs Support" section.

DLCs Support

It is strongly encouraged to enable DLC support only if you legitimately own these contents on your Android device. Sadly, there is no way to propose a license check on Vita against your purchased in-game contents on Android, so show respect and support the original authors of the game first before proceeding.

To enable DLCs in RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic on your PS Vita, edit the settings.cfg file located at ux0:app/RCTCLASS1. Open the file ux0:app/RCTCLASS1/settings.cfg and change enable_dlcs=0 to enable_dlcs=1.
