Vita3K PS Vita emulator for Android
Description
Vita3K PS Vita emulator for Android OS is an experimental PlayStation Vita app for smartphone and tablet devices.
It can even upscale textures that would otherwise be too blurry as they were made for the small screen of the original SONY PS Vita (see also Windows, MacOS and iOS version).
Play Station Vita is an eighth-generation handheld game console by Sony, released in Japan on December 17, 2011, and in North America on February 15, 2012.
Features
The purpose of the emulator is not to enable illegal activity.

The emulator is not related to or endorsed by Sony, or derived from confidential materials belonging to Sony.
This emulator can already run some homebrew titles, and some commercial games boot up with visuals or go into gameplay.
The emulator uses Vita dumps in the .vpk file format.
Specify the path to a .vpk file as the first command line argument, or run Vita3K –help from the command-line for a full list of options.
