This is a wrapper/port of RVGL for the PS Vita. RVGL is a cross-platform rewrite of Re-Volt that runs natively on a wide variety of platforms. It's powered entirely by modern, open source components.
The port works by loading the official Android ARMv7 executables in memory, resolving its imports with native functions and patching it 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 executable as is.
Installation
Requirements:
- libshacccg.suprx
- kubridge.skprx
