YoYo Loader for PS Vita released; can potentially run any game made with GameMaker Studio

Modder Rinnegatamante has released YoYo Loader for the PS Vita. The application serves as a loader for libyoyo.so, which is the official GameMaker Studio Runner application for Android. This will let users run games made with GameMaker on the PS Vita. Rinnegatamante explains in the GitHub release that YoYo Loader works by loading such ARMv7 executable in memory, resolving its imports with native functions and patching it in order to properly run.

Moreover, the modder highlights that this method enables users to run potentially any game made with GameMaker Studio. This includes titles like AM2R and Deltarune. More details about the full compatibility list can be found on the dedicated YoYo Loader Vita Compatibility List page.

To get YoYo Loader up and running on your own PS Vita, Rinnegatamante has a setup instruction on the GitHub page where you will also find download links.

There is also an ongoing discussion on GBAtemp in a thread created by @SuperDan .

Many Vita homebrews appear on the Switch soon. So keep your fingers crossed.

:ninja:

or once that vita compatibility layer is complete which is able to run vita stuff on the switch, we would not even need a port of it

If the switch thing comes through I'd have my backlog double I gave up on a bunch of vita games once I got my pc since they ported most of the main games I wanted to pc. But if I can use my switch it might motivate me to go back through the ones passed by

I am wondering how AM2R compares to the other port.
Version 1.5. never got ported previously, but it is shown to run in this emulator now.

So this only works on Gamemaker games with Android ports? Wonder if this will work better with Nuclear Throne compared to the Vita version lol.
