Thanks!.. The game shows that screen:

Then it turns completely black for ~20 seconds, then it crashes.. Could you please check the data path, is it right?..
Code: 
└───switch
    └───pvz_fusion
        └───assets
            └───bin
                └───Data
                    └───Managed
                        ├───Metadata
                        └───Resources

Yes that path log is correct. Make sure you are using the right 3.6.1 EN .apk and make sure you have the four lib.so files you need. Sorry about the long loading
 
Very awesome.
This may be a silly question, how do these native Switch wrappers work?
I am very interested in this because I was hoping to request from someone the fanport of Marble Blast Ultra, but I'm merely wondering as there have been a boatload of ports for NX lately.

The apk has a arm64-v8a folder so it likely can be ported.

This is a previous explanation I have given + AI is good really good making these ports.

I'd probably explain it as essentially we are running all the of the game's code natively on the Switch CPU, however we have to patch some minor stuff in the game to reroute to the correct output as Android and HOS have differences. I would argue it tends to be more on the side of a wrapper then a port since we aren't recompiling or rewriting game code.

Some examples all the games graphical rendering is routed through homebrew graphics drivers instead, we have to reroute the controls and audio as well. Unity games have to patch to change their memory allocation because what works on Android doesn't work on Switch and we have to patch games to read from the right file directory. There's plenty more then that as HOS and Android have a lot of differences.

Thank you!

That gives me a lot of insight on how the brews I am utilizing function, and it really does clear up how some of these were being released at such a breakneck pace; some of them have been really awesome and it is fun to put in Issues for glitches on apps on GitHub.
Would you happen to know anyone who is taking requests for Android - Horizon wrappers?
