Hacking (HENkaku) Homebrew Request Thread

i wonder if it's possible to port some old pc games like serious sam 2 and emerald solitaire on vita because i really like this games for their relaxing graphics and music.

I would love a 60fps patch for Shinobido 2 if that is possible. Also some QOL changes would be nice, for example to deal with the annoying scrolling text somehow.

Solitaire? No problem.

Anything that needed a PS2 or higher is a no, sorry unless someone wants to expend years doing it. PS2 ports are technically possible but would take way too long.

So no, no Xbox games on Vita unless they had like an Android port.

Edit: The PS Vita needs a standalone Atari emulator.

Someone make the pkgj Facebook and YouTube apps work

Maybe with a plugin

Can we have an XDelta patcher? It would make Vita game translations & patches available without need of a PC.

I'd like a plugin to map touch gestures, ideal for PSTV. See attached manual page for Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate. D-Pad Left / Right are unused but changing characters requires rear touchpad (or touch screen, the only alternative). Additionally due to how small the minimap is, the game's nearly unplayable portably. Such a plugin could let you specify button(s), screen, array of touches, each entry with start and end coordinates, gesture speed, and maybe timing & curve functions.Example config file draft attached (as screenshot because I can't paste linebreaks yet). A user-friendly interface could be made to output configs in LUA. Mappings would be title-specific.

Some port suggestions:

* An improved version of MS-DOS game Abuse with smooth 60 FPS support (you can see how smooth it runs in the video below) - https://github.com/metinc/abuse



* Frogatto & Friends is a platformer with highly polished pixel art, music and an open-source engine - https://github.com/frogatto/frogatto



* Dino Run a great game which is now open-source, you are running away from the apocalypse: https://github.com/pixeljam/DinoRunDX



* Only One a hit Android game where you fight hordes of enemies

The PSP Homebrew App for the Vita died so an update or a new App that does the same would be nice.

Do you think someone could port Zenonia 2 or 3? (Preferably 3) it's an old android game,
There was a bounty made on it but nothing came out of it, without using a modded apk to make it work on modern phones both are pretty hard to access due to gamevil (now known as com2us) delisting the games and a bunch of others.

(I also heard that some of the modded apks out there are pretty shady, though take that with a grain of salt)
