PS Vita Android ports: 30 games milestone reached!
Rinnegatamante has shared a pretty significant milestone earlier this week: with the release of Galcon 2 and Breakfinity, 30 Android games have now been ported to the PS Vita. We’re talking well established franchises for the most part, from some beloved Rockstar games, to Final Fantasy classics, and including a bunch of great indie Android games, that are now fully playable on PS Vita. Talk about some afterlife support!
30 Great game franchises now ported to PS Vita
I believe it all started when TheFloW and Rinnegatamante released a port of GTA San Andreas, announcing they had written a wrapper for Arm7 executables, and paving the way for more ports to come. More ports followed, including for the FF series, Heroes of Might and Magic, and more. We’re now at 30!

With the technique used for these ports (the Arm 7 wrapper), no emulation is involved, therefore these games run as fast as they can on the device.

In the meantime, there’s more than enough to have fun on the PS Vita with the 30 ports above.
How do I get these ports on my PS Vita?
The easiest way to get all these ports is to go to VitaDB. and look into the Homebrews > Game Ports category. They’re all a little bit annoying to install as you need the original Android game files, which you have to obtain from a legit copy. Bottom line is, read the readme carefully for each one of these games.
You’ll also of course need a hacked PS Vita to run these ports on the console.
This is great.
If only there was some way of porting DJMAX Respect to the vita as well.
simple game port (2d) to switch to ps vita would it be possible?
i know they are converting ps vita games to switch!
i know heavy games won’t run but i think some switch games could be run on ps vita.
The more games the better!
More game = good news.
Is the Android version of Final Fantasy Tactics possible?
It’s not marked as impossible, so… yes? You can check the list here: https://android.rinnegatamante.it/#
FWIW the PSP version of FF Tactics is really good. And it will run on Vita.
I don’t want to ask for a port, but rather would love if I could learn to do it myself. I’m not sure where to start, though. I can vaguely imagine what to do though. Could someone please point me into the right direction?
and unlocked the gold skin for PSVITA
(30/100) for platinum skin
Didn’t the GTA ports got sued by the game publisher some time ago? Does owning a legal Android game copy put me in the safe zone from getting sued?
As a user, you will not be sued for using these. The developers might face legal action, not you.
My personal take (not a lawyer) in the case of Rockstar’s case against the ports: it’s legal BS. Rockstar would not win if they went to trial, but they know they can intimidate open source developers, they have the lawyers and money, which the devs don’t. Even if they wouldn’t win a trial, it’s easy for them to just frighten regular people.
we need ps2 gameeeeesssssssss
cant wait 4 mass effect on vita infiltrator
Need to get a bigger Card for my Vita :D. Only problem is, a few Games have been removed from Google Play, or are impossible to get from Amazon App Store.
