Info :
This is a wrapper/port of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic for the PS Vita.
The port works by loading the official Android ARMv7 executables in memory, resolving their imports with native functions and patching them in order to properly run. By doing so, it's basically as if we emulate a minimalist Android environment in which we run natively the executable as they are.

https://cimmerian.gitbook.io/vita-troubleshooting-guide/shader-compiler/extract-libshacccg.suprx
- Extract libfmodstudio.suprx
How to get the FMOD.suprx files for PS Vita homebrew ports NFO-hatoving :
Legally obtain one of these games. It doesn't matter which one you pick; all of them should work fine.
PCSE01426
PCSE01188
PCSE01010
- Install (if you haven't already) and open up FAGDec via VitaShell.
- Scroll down to and select the game you installed (for example, PCSE01188 = I Am The Hero.)
- Let it finish looking for the modules and select the path that ends with libfmodstudio.suprx with X.
- Press O to go back to the main menu, press START and select START DECRYPT (SELF) to start the decrypting process with START.
- Once it's finished (indicated by the [!] Done message in the log), open up VitaShell and go to the path where the decrytped plugins are located. You can find it by scrolling a bit by the log messages; there should be a log that goes something like: Outpath: (PATH HERE.)
(Tip: hold down left/right to see a full view of either list if you can't see the full path.)
- In VitaShell, copy libfmodstudio.suprx from the path mentioned before and place it in ur0:data/.
- Congrats; you got FMOD Studio on your Vita.


Install Android Data Files :
- Install the vpk.
- Obtain your copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic legally for Android in form of an .apk and two .obb files.
- Open the apk with your zip explorer and extract all the .ogg files inside the assets folder to ux0:data/rct/assets. You can then remove those files from inside the apk to save space.
- Place the .apk file, renamed as game.apk, inside ux0:data/rct.
- Place the two .obb files, renamed respectively as main.obb and patch.obb omsode ux0:data/rct.
- Optional, Install PSVshell to overclock your device to 500Mhz.


DLCs Support :
DLCs for RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic can be enabled by editing a config file named settings.cfg located inside ux0:app/RCTCLASS1. We strongly encourage to enable support for these contents solely if you possess these contents on your Android device. Sadly, we have no way to propose a license check on Vita against your purchased in-game contents on Android, so show respect and support the original authors of the game first before proceeding. Open the file ux0:app/RCTCLASS1/settings.cfg and change enable_dlcs=0 to enable_dlcs=1.


Notes and Tips :
- The game has been tested with v.1.2.1 of the game.
- Very rarely, game may crash at boot. If it happens, just restart the app.
- The game can tank heavily framerate depending on how much is going on. Disabling music rides should help mitigate framerate issues.
- The game ships in two versions: a speedhack one (default) and a safe one (launchable by clicking on the related option in the Livearea.) The speedhack version will have a way better framerate in exchange of some occasional glitching and flickering.
- In-app purchase DLCs can be unlocked. Check the DLCs Support to know how.
