Running game on PS Vita

You can run a game using a hacked PS Vita hardware, or an emulator to play the PS Vita version of the game.

Running on hardware

  • Download both VPK (a stable or in-development version) and the game assets packages.
  • At the ux0:data/ at your Vita, create the TheXTech directory and the TheXTech/assets/ subdirectory. (Full path should be ux0:data/TheXTech/assets/).
  • Unpack the content of Assets archive into any subdirectory of ux0:data/TheXTech/assets/ (eg, ux0:data/TheXTech/assets/aod/).
  • Confirm that gameinfo.ini exists inside of your assets directory (eg, ux0:data/TheXTech/assets/aod/gameinfo.ini should exist.
  • Put the VPK file into any directory at your PS Vita and install it via Vita Shell.
  • The icon of TheXTech should appear at the main menu, try to run it.

Extra directories

During use of the game, there are next directories at ux0:data/TheXTech directory will be created:

  • logs - Debug logs of the game. Once you get any troubles with the game, please attach one of these log files to the bug report.
  • settings - Settings of the game:
    • settings/thextech.ini - Setup of the game. You can edit it via notepad to enable or disable some features including the Discord Rich Presence support.
    • settings/controls.ini - Setup of game controls: all key bindings and game controller buttons setup were saved here.
    • settings/gamesaves - The storage of game saves: all saved games appears here. However, if you moved an old episode with game save files presented (such as save1.sav, save2.sav, save3.sav), they will be imported by the game, however, updated gamesaves will appear at the new storage at the settings/gamesave directory, keeping the episode directory clear.
  • gameplay-records - Recorded gameplays demos: when you enable the recording of gameplay in the settings, every attempt to play a level will create a new replay file that you can open by the game and see the full playthrough. In some cases, these replays can help to reproduce various bugs that happen very rare.
  • worlds - You can install your own episodes here. Separated by asset pack. (For instance, install Superb Demo Sisters for the A2XT asset pack at ux0:data/TheXTech/worlds/a2xt/Superb Demo Sisters/).
