Resident Evil 4 Mobile Edition, a scaled-down demake of Capcom's survival horror classic, has been ported to the PS Vita. In this post, I will guide you on how to install the game on your PS Vita. This is an open-source wrapper that loads the official Android version of the game — you'll need your own legitimate copy of the Android app.
Resident Evil 4 Mobile Edition Introduction
Gameplay
Resident Evil 4 Mobile Edition is a heavily downgraded demake of the original Resident Evil 4, built for Android hardware — it condenses the survival-horror action of the console original into a lighter, mobile-friendly package.
This PS Vita port brings that mobile edition to your handheld.
Gameplay on Android (source visuals — actual Vita performance/graphics may differ)
Storyline
Following the same broad strokes as the original, this mobile edition sends special agent Leon S. Kennedy to rural Spain to rescue the president's daughter from a cult wielding a mind-controlling parasite, in a condensed retelling of the story.
Note: This is not the full GameCube/PS2/console Resident Evil 4 — it's the separate, heavily downgraded Mobile Edition demake for Android. This is an open-source wrapper that loads the official Android executable — it is not a bundled copy of the game. You need your own legitimate copy of Resident Evil 4 Mobile Edition for Android to build the required data yourself, as shown in Part 1 below.

Part 1 - Patch Your Own Game Data
How to prepare the data from your own Android copy
1. Obtain your own legitimate copy of Resident Evil 4 Mobile Edition for Android — the .apk file and its .obb data file.
2. Follow the folder structure shown in the port's installation guide to extract and place your files correctly.
Part 2 - Install on PS Vita
How to install on your Vita
1. Install kubridge and FdFix by copying kubridge.skprx and fd_fix.skprx to your taiHEN plugins folder (usually ur0:tai) and adding two entries under *KERNEL in config.txt: ur0:tai/kubridge.skprx and ur0:tai/fd_fix.skprx. (Skip fd_fix if you're using the repatch plugin.)
2. Make sure you have libshacccg.suprx in ur0:/data/ — if not, use ShaRKBR33D to get it.
3. Install the .vpk loader on your Vita.
4. Launch the game.

Is this the real Resident Evil 4?
No. This is the Mobile Edition, a heavily downgraded demake made for Android — not the GameCube/PS2/console version. This is also an open-source wrapper, not a bundled copy — you need your own legitimate Android copy, as shown in Part 1.
