Shadow Guardian Vita v1.2

This is a wrapper/port of Shadow Guardian HD for the PS Vita.

Changelog

  • v1.2: virtual touch buttons hide/show with CIRCLE via SetItemAlpha (indices 0-10, weapon selector stays visible); D-Pad sends native menu keys; left stick only drives the virtual joystick in-game; faster free-look camera (drag radius 100→250) and wider stick deadzone (20→40); fixed crash on in-game Exit (SoundMgr::Update NULL deref — process now exits cleanly to LiveArea).
