Final Fantasy 4 Vita: running the Android game on PS Vita

Final Fantasy 4 Vita ports the Android release of Final Fantasy 4 to PS Vita by loading its ARMv7 executable into memory, resolving Android imports with native functions and applying runtime patches. It uses libff4.so extracted from the player's APK and an OBB file, with display and input adaptations.
