# SoulCalibur Vita: running the Android game on PS Vita

> SoulCalibur Vita adapts the Android version of SoulCalibur to PS Vita by loading its ARMv7 executable into memory, resolving imports with native functions and patching behavior needed for the port. The repository contains the loader and Android compatibility implementations, while installation uses the player's APK and OBB files.
