Requires a legally owned Soda Dungeon APK, Vita homebrew tools like kubridge, and building with the VitaSDK toolchain.
This project is an unofficial loader that lets the mobile game Soda Dungeon run on a PS Vita handheld console. It works by running the original Android version of the game, specifically version 1.2.44, inside a small compatibility layer built for the Vita. The project itself does not include any of the game's actual code, artwork, or app file. Instead, the person using it must already own a legal copy of the Android app and copy specific files from it into the right folder on their own Vita. The README is clear that this is a fan made project with no connection to or endorsement from the companies that made or published Soda Dungeon, or from Sony. It exists purely to let the game run on different hardware using files the user already owns, not to distribute the game itself. Setting it up involves several steps: installing two helper programs on the Vita, copying a system audio library from the user's own device, pulling specific game asset and library files out of the legal Android app copy, and finally installing a built VPK file, which is the Vita's app package format. Building the loader from source requires a specialized Vita development toolkit and a series of build scripts. Once running, the loader supports the game's main menu, graphics, touchscreen, controller input, and audio for that specific game version. Since the Android version's ads and in-app purchases cannot work on Vita, those parts are hidden so the game does not get stuck waiting on them. The loader also includes an extra cheat menu, still under active development, offering things like extra in-game currency, unlocking upgrades, and adjustable game speed, controlled through special button combinations on the Vita. The loader's own code and its plain artwork are shared under the MIT license, meaning they can be used freely including commercially, while the game itself and its trademarks remain the property of their original owners and are not covered by that license. This is aimed at PS Vita hobbyists who already own the game and want to play it on Sony's handheld.
