Inotia 3: Children of Carnia · PS Vita Port

Status & Playability • How to install • Controls • Known Issues • How to compile • Credits

An unofficial, native Android-to-PS Vita wrapper port of Inotia 3: Children of Carnia (originally developed by Com2uS). This port utilizes so-loader technology, FalsoJNI, and vitaGL to load the official ARMv6 shared library (libgame.so) directly in native PS Vita RAM.

🎮 Status & Playability

Status: FULLY PLAYABLE (Offline Campaign)

The game has been thoroughly reverse-engineered and debugged across 77+ porting iterations on physical PS Vita hardware.

• Full Campaign Playable: Story progression, party management, skills, combat, and map transitions are 100% functional.
• Native 960x544 Visuals: Fullscreen rendering via vitaGL (GLES 1.1 fixed-function pipeline with GL_FIXED to GL_FLOAT conversion and GL_LINEAR texture filtering).
• Touch & Physical Controls: Complete dual-input support (D-Pad, Analog Stick, and Action Buttons mapped to on-screen controls, alongside full front touchscreen multi-touch support).
• Native Audio: BGM and sound effects decoded via Tremor / libogg portlibs.
• Save System: Saved games persist directly as loose .dat files (ux0:data/inotia3/save<N>.dat).
• Offline Bypasses: Anti-tamper/protection routines (excuteDirectly, jIsCracked) and online ad/hub loops (Extend_CheckAdvDisplay, HubInitialize) are safely bypassed.

   *KERNEL
   ur0:tai/kubridge.skprx
   ur0:tai/fd_fix.skprx

2. Shader Compiler: Verify that libshacccg.suprx is present in ur0:data/. If missing, extract it using ShaRKBR33D.

4. Extract Assets & Native Library:
   • Open the .apk using any ZIP archive tool (e.g., 7-Zip).
   • Copy lib/armeabi/libgame.so to: ux0:data/inotia3/libgame.so
