Hill Climb Racing is a game made by Fingersoft, a Finnish game engine where you can control a vehicle and try to survive as far as possible to get more coins for more upgrades, vehicles and stages! Each stage has a different layout, and different obstacles to overcome. Each vehicle has their own strengths and weaknesses, making certain vehicles excel in certain stages, and their vehicles have overalls.

This repository contains a loader of the Android release of Hill Climb Racing, based on the Android SO Loader by TheFloW. The loader provides a tailored, minimalistic Android-like environment to run the official ARMv7 game executables on the PS Vita.

This software does not contain the original code, executables, assets, or other not redistributable parts of the game. The authors do not promote or condone piracy in any way. To launch and play the game on their PS Vita device, users must provide their own legally obtained copy of the game in form of an .apk file.

Minor notes
There are some issues with audio, such as the engine sound not playing.
When finishing a play session, don't quit the game immediately. Wait for around 3 seconds and then quit, otherwise your game may crash or your save data may be corrupted.
When selecting levels or cars, it may seem like the game freezes, but unless the game crashes, it isn't frozen, wait until it responds, because it's loading things in the background.
This is currently in its BETA version. Improvements may be made in the future.

Setup Instructions (For End Users)
In order to properly install the game, you'll have to follow these steps precisely:

Install kubridge and FdFix by copying kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder (usually ur0:tai) and adding two entries to your config.txt under *KERNEL:
*KERNEL
ur0:tai/kubridge.skprx
ur0:tai/fd_fix.skprx
Note Don't install fd_fix.skprx if you're using rePatch plugin!

Make sure you have libshacccg.suprx in the ur0:/data/ folder on your console. If you don't, follow this guide to extract it.
Legally obtain your copy of Hill Climb Racing version 1.18.0 for Android in form of an .apk file.
Open the .apk with any zip explorer (like 7-Zip) and extract assets folder from the .apk into ux0:data/hcr. Also, extract libgame.so from lib/armeabi-v7a/ in the same directory. Example of resulting path: ux0:data/hcr/assets/some.file
Place the .apk itself inside ux0:data/hcr and rename to base.apk.
Install hcr.vpk (from Releases).
Controls
Button Action
trigl / trigr Brake/Accelerate
circl Back
and the touch functionality fully works (if you don't break it somehow).
