This is Super Mario Galaxy running natively on a PS Vita. There's no emulator and no streaming involved: the game itself was rebuilt to run on the Vita's own processor and graphics chip. We haven't found anyone who has run Galaxy on the Vita before, so as far as we know this is a first.
Boot it up and you land in the Comet Observatory with Rosalina's music playing, holding the whole game in your hands. And it plays like it was made for the Vita: slide a finger on the rear touch pad to aim Star Bits, touch the screen where you used to point the Wii Remote, and tilt the Vita to roll the Star Ball.

Super Mario Galaxy, running natively on the PS Vita. No emulator, no streaming: the game's own code rebuilt for the Vita's processor and GPU.
**Touch controls, built for the Vita**
- Rear touch Star Bit aiming: slide a finger on the back pad and the pointer glides like a laptop trackpad, with your thumbs still on the sticks. Resting fingers are ignored. Turn it on in the pause menu with Triangle.
- The front screen is your Wii pointer: touch and Star Bits fly to you, tap to talk or choose, hold still to grab Pull Stars.
- Tilt to steer the Star Ball and the Manta ray; spin with Square or R.
- A settings panel in the pause menu: camera zoom and rear touch.
**How smooth it is** (measured with this release on a PS Vita; fps = new pictures per second, 60 is the most the screen shows)
- Good Egg Galaxy: 51 fps on average (41 to 56)
- Comet Observatory, the busiest place in the game: 43 fps on average (32 to 55)
- Quiet moments and menus: 60 fps
- Stutters longer than a tenth of a second while playing: 0
- Full game speed: when a moment is too busy, a picture is skipped instead of the game slowing down
- 1,131 graphics effects compiled ahead of time; up to 960×544 with automatic anti-aliasing
**Install:** the easiest way is CBOC Vita Installer (pick Super Mario Galaxy, choose your disc image, press Install). Or install `Galaxy-Vita.vpk` with VitaShell and copy your prepared game files to `ux0:data/smg/game/`; see INSTALL.md.
You need your own Super Mario Galaxy disc (Wii, USA, RMGE01). Unofficial fan project, not affiliated with Nintendo or Sony.
