Death Road to Canada Lite: porting the Android game to PS Vita
Death Road to Canada Lite runs the Android game on PS Vita through a native loader that resolves imports and patches its ARMv7 executable in memory. Setup uses libmain.so and assets extracted from the player's APK, together with a bundled mod that simplifies maps for Vita play.
