Another great release for the PS Vita community arrives today.. As many of you already know in recent days Grand Theft Auto: III (updated to v1.3& also just the other day Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was ported by the PS Vita / PS TV from @Rinnegatamante / @Theflow0, Now these devs Theflow / Rinnegatamante & aap all had a role in development of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to the PS Vita (& PSTV) , where theflow states on release “We gave the PS Vita THE game it always deserved. GTA: SA with authentic PS2 atmosphere on-the-go” . Unlike the previous two vita ports in the GTA Series that used a reversed-engineered engine, GTA:SA-Vita is using the mobile version (apk-android)) of the game and adding a “wrapper”, like what we saw in Max Payne vita Port recently released utilizing the kubridge.skprx . The wrapper/port contains many custom hooks and patches to get the game running well on the PS Vita. You will need to provide the Game FIles yourself, the game can be purchased on the Play Store.

Also developer Rinnegatamante has provided a configuration app to configure various settings, easily. Also, as usual MVG. has a great video, as the dev/youtuber is covering this release as he was one of the tester’s, that is for sure worth checking out for some additional insight.. .
