Gaming Homebrew Cave Story PS Vita port (based on CSE2)

[IRUZZ]

So I'm one of those 4 people who still use a vita daily, and long story short I was messing around CSE2's source code when I found out that VITASDK does have a SDL2 library and so I thought "what would happen if I rewrite the CMakeLists file so that it would use the vita's libraries? no way this is gonna work lol."

...it worked first try

so anyway the next day (today) I got to work on fixing whatever quirks it had (the controls being awkward, saving not working due to it trying to write to a read-only partition) and it's pretty much done.
I'm not gonna bother adding all the fancy stuff like widescreen 'cause I don't know jack about how the rendering backend works and the last time I tried to decipher it it made me want to blow my brains out it so I'll just leave it as-is.
EDIT: Never mind, I actually managed to get widescreen working.

Best feeling ever felt by a developer.

More proof that we are in a simulation. Nothing ever works right first try, has to be a glitch in the Matrix.

I was about to scream "Lies, damned lies!" when I first read it, but I remembered that I too had "compiles-on-first-try" lately, so maybe we are nearing the end of times.

Thanks Iruzz, best CS vanilla experience ever, had nearly completed the game on xbox but framerate wasn't as smooth and consistant as this.

You mean 5 people... I mean 5 thous... I mean... dang it.

Good job with the Cave Story, SDL2 is truly nice library when it comes to multiplatform.
