# Bounce Evolution for PS Vita – v1.0.1

First release of a native PS Vita port of **Bounce Evolution**, Rovio's 2009 Nokia N900 technology demo.

The original N900 ARM binary is rebased and statically linked into the Vita eboot. The libc, GL, X11, EGL, PulseAudio and dbus calls it makes are replaced with shims. The approach is based on **[Thomas Perl's Maemulator](https://thp.io/2023/maemulator/)**; see [CREDITS.md](CREDITS.md).

## Features
- Steady 60 fps at 960×544 using vitaGL.
- Audio, with the music and sound effects served from a RAM cache.
- Tilt controls from the sticks, with Cross to jump.
- Settings saved to `ux0:data/BounceEvolution/vita.cfg`, covering audio, tilt direction and sensitivity, and MSAA (off by default).
- Shader cache for fast launches after the first one.
- LiveArea icon, background and start screen.

## Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Sticks | Tilt |
| Cross | Jump |
| SELECT | Recalibrate tilt |
| SELECT + L / R | Flip roll / pitch direction |
| SELECT + Up / Down | Tilt sensitivity (±0.25) |

## Requirements
- A Vita with HENkaku/Enso, unsafe homebrew enabled, and `libshacccg.suprx` installed.
- Your own copy of `bounce_1.0.0_armel.deb`. **No Rovio code or data is included in this repository.**

## Setup
1. Build the VPK from source (see the [README](README.md)) and install it with VitaShell.
2. Copy the *contents* of the deb's `opt/bounce/data/` (`bundles/`, `resources/`, `shaders/`) into `ux0:data/BounceEvolution/`.
3. The first launch compiles shaders and takes about a minute.

## Known issues
- A brief frame dip can happen while large assets load.
