This is a wrapper/port of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises for the PS Vita.
The port works by loading the official Android ARMv7 executable in memory, resolving its imports with native functions and patching it in order to properly run. By doing so, it's basically as if we emulate a minimalist Android environment in which we run natively the executable as it is.
Known Issues
- There is some audio crackling here and there.
- Game may start glitching randomly. If this happens, it is suggested to restart the app.
- Sometimes there might be stutters due to assets streaming.
