Port Porting Some Android Games to PS Vita

[Nostalgia Crystal]

Guys,I ordered my PS Vita last Thursday and It gives me an Idea,I want to port several old Android Games like Gangstar:West Coast Hustle and Angry Birds Space to the Vita,I heard that it ain't easy to port games to the Vita but the touch screen Ones are good to start since they don't usually need the PS Vita Controls.Any Guides? Do I use Vita SDK?

Can i make a request? Can you add this one? I uploaded it to Internet Archive myself and used to play it on my old tablet all the time.

Unfortunately, It can't be ported using the wrapper since it's a unity game.

Do any of you guys think porting a simple online mmo from ios/android to vita would be doable? I was thinking Graal Online would be an interesting project but I don't think I've seen anything with online multiplayer crossplay compatibility with android

I just wish that port of GTA LCS would've finished.
I wanna see KOTOR 1 and 2 get ported as well, that'd be sick.

Graal Online uses the kotlin programming language which makes it impossible to port using the wrapper.
I think porting any mmo would be a major undertaking. You'd have to reverse engineer all the server-side stuff and then set up your own server.

Which they probably won't do because its too much work.

KOTOR 1 is possible. I assume 2 is as well.

I didn't see a "lib" folder in the game. From what I gathered, the "lib" folder contains shared libraries and means the app runs on Android native code. Since it's not present, it's likely a web app or cross-platform app, and can't be ported.

Yeah, I knew about this list, thanks for linking it though, there are some crazy ones on there, I think Lego Star Wars was one they said had some issue.

No, actually the android port of Complete Saga is the console version, but I was wrong, it actually did get ported to Vita, which is baller.

Yea but the port isn't "finish". Make no sense other ports are water down.
