More entries for the FuHEN PS Vita Homebrew contest today, starting with another port by Rinnegatamante. I believe this is the developer’s 5th entry in the competition already! McPixel 3 is a point and click adventure game, ported from the Android version

What is McPixel3 for PS Vita

McPixel 3 is a point and click adventure game centered around the titular pixelated character McPixel, a parody of MacGyver, who is tasked with the objective of “saving the day” by using objects and finding solutions in the environment around them. Puzzle solutions are often absurdist and nonsensical, forcing the player to interact with and combine objects using trial and error to see what happens.

From the developer:

This is a wrapper/port of McPixel 3 for the PS Vita.

The port works by loading the official Android ARMv7 executable in memory, resolving its imports with native functions and patching it in order to properly run. By doing so, it’s basically as if we emulate a minimalist Android environment in which we run natively the executable as is.

 

Download and Install McPixel3 for PS Vita

As a reminder you will need a hacked PS Vita to run homebrew games. Hacking your PS Vita is a super easy and safe process nowadays (our guide here).
