This is a wrapper/port of Crazy Taxi Classic Android for the PS Vita.
The port works by loading the official Android ARMv7 executable in memory, resolving its imports with native functions and patching it 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 is.
In order to properly install the game, you'll have to follow these steps precisely:
- Install kubridge and FdFix by copying
kubridge.skprx
andfd_fix.skprx
to your taiHEN plugins folder (usuallyux0:tai
) and adding two entries to yourconfig.txt
under*KERNEL
:
*KERNEL
ux0:tai/kubridge.skprx
ux0:tai/fd_fix.skprx
Note Don't install fd_fix.skprx if you're using repatch plugin
- Optional: Install PSVshell to overclock your device to 500Mhz.
- Install
libshacccg.suprx
, if you don't have it already, by following this guide. - Obtain your copy of Crazy Taxi Classic legally from the Google Play store in form of an
.apk
file and one or more.obb
files (usually located inside the/sdcard/android/obb/com.sega.CrazyTaxi/
) folder. You can get all the required files directly from your phone or by using an apk extractor you can find in the play store. The apk can be extracted with whatever Zip extractor you prefer (eg: WinZip, WinRar, etc...) since apk is basically a zip file. You can rename.apk
to.zip
to open them with your default zip extractor. - Copy the
.obb
file toux0:data/crazytaxi
and rename it tomain.obb
- Open the apk and extract
libgl2jni.so
from thelib/armeabi-v7a
folder toux0:data/crazytaxi
. - Install CRAZYTAXI.vpk on your PS Vita.
In order to build the loader, you'll need a vitasdk build fully compiled with softfp usage.
You can find a precompiled version here with the softfp tag for each operating system.
Additionally, you'll need these libraries to be compiled as well with -mfloat-abi=softfp
added to their CFLAGS:
-
-
make install
-
-
-
make install
-
-
-
mkdir build && cd build cmake .. && make install
-
-
-
make SOFTFP_ABI=1 NO_DEBUG=1 SAMPLER_UNIFORMS=1 install
-
-
-
cd libopensles make CRAZY_TAXI=1 install
-
Finally, you'll need thi library recompiled with -mfloat-abi=softfp
from vitasdk/packages:
- sndfile
After all these requirements are met, you can compile the loader with the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
You can also use vitasdk/vitasdk-softfp with Docker.
