Hacking (HENkaku) Homebrew Request Thread

Some tool to trick the PSTV into thinking it’s a Vita in portrait mode.

The reason I’m asking is that Pinball Arcade (PCSE00065) looks stunning on a Vita in portrait mode but doesn’t have a dedicated setting and relies on the device being physically rotated 90 degrees.

Didn’t have any luck with a DS4 and various tools (reVita, DS34Motion) on the PSTV.

Really do hope someone enthusiastic about pinball picks this up. TIA.

Are android ports allowed here? Wanted to bring attention to one that's seemingly been put on the wayside for a while, PVZ2. The only reason it hasn't realy been expanded on is probably because of having to connect to EA servers, but the modding community for the game clearly shows that you don't need to connect to EA servers to play it, so it's probably possible.

Porting a game would require its source code, and I doubt Plants Vs. Zombies 2 is open-source.

Looks like a remake, not a port. Also, that's PVZ1, not 2.

What I meant for a PVZ2 port is an android wrapper like GTA: SA, which I'm pretty sure doesn't require source code, might be wrong about that tho.

Note the point - point is, people have used the word "port" very liberally, and I was merely giving that one as an example - someone who cares enough can and will make it, I suppose. We needn't be limited to actual ports, as the homebrew community has proven again and again.

Oh, sure thing. Anyone could create a remake—it just wouldn't be a port.
If anyone's willing to recreate PVZ2 from the ground-up, good luck.

Well, someone felt like it for the first one, so hey.

Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit received an android version about a week ago ; would it be out of the realm of possibility to port it?

Would have to see if Rinnegatamante or any of the others can do it. Depends on what GLES it has (GLES3+ not possible), and what Arch it has (ARMv6 or ARMv7 possible, but ARMv8 no)
Have to look through this.....

I want it as an actual Sega Genesis Rom do you can basically run it anywhere that can play Sega Genesis emulators.

maybe a gamecube emulator? concidering it can emulate N64 i think it would be possable. it could easily share most of the same source code as dolphin, which in that case Wii emulation could be possable aswell! also i think u forgot to put Nds emulation. its not very pratical with only one screen but it is easily emulated on the psp so the psvita will have no problem.

Just gonna say this, whats the point of making an emulator for a system if its not powerful enough to run the emulator at full speed?

This was already requested on VPS, but i'd like to post here as well. Killzone Mercenary - Private Servers (revival project).

I can't post the link here, sadly. But the site is called Vita Projects Suggestion (VPS).

A Project M version of Playstation All Stars Battle Royale with the dlc characters that were promised but were never released. Also confirmation of a Paper Mario port seeing the decomp is at 100%.

C-Dogs SDL (can't link github - google it) is an old open-source freeware game that has been around since DOS and has been ported to dozens of platforms over the years. I AM OFFERING PAYMENT IN ORDER FOR A VITA PORT TO BE DONE QUICKLY. I think a fair price is $15, as the game is open-source and based on SDL, which has been ported to the Vita already, as well as the game having a prior PSP port, so I don't think there would be any significant amount of work involved, but the price is negotiable if you don't think it's fair of if there is more work than expected.
I'm interested in a quick, one-time payment over PayPal after either proof of progress or knowing that you are an experienced homebrew dev who can handle stuff like this. I may be interested in ordering other ports of open-source projects in the future and forming a repeat customer relationship.

Would it be posable to port Parappa The Rapper 2 to the vita?

 

[Vocaloraiser]

Maybe can someone port under night in-birth exe late cl-r? It's basically the same structure as under night in birth exe late which is already on the Psvita.
And maybe under night in birth 2 sys celes.
