Running Julius on Vita

Bianca van Schaik edited this page Feb 6, 2021 · 1 revision

To run Julius on PlayStation Vita, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you have a jailbroken Vita. Detailed jailbreaking instructions can be found on vita.hacks.guide.
  2. Install the julius.vpk file using Vitashell, like any other homebrew.
  3. Copy all the files from a Caesar 3 install into a folder ux0:/data/julius/, so that you have the file ux0:/data/julius/c3.eng and more in your folder.

Controls

Input Effect
Left Analog Stick Move the mouse pointer
Right Analog Stick or Dpad Up/Down/Left/Right Scroll the map
R / Cross Left mouse button
L / Circle Right mouse button
Triangle Simulate Page Up keypress (speed up in-game time)
Square Simulate Page Down keypress (slow down in-game time)
Start Bring up on-screen keyboard, useful to enter player name etc.
Select Toggle between touch modes

Touch modes can be toggled with the select button. There are three modes:

  1. Touchpad mode (default)
    • Single finger drag = move the mouse pointer (indirectly like on a touchpad)
    • Single short tap = left mouse click
    • Single short tap while holding a second finger down = right mouse click
  2. Direct mode
    • Pointer jumps to finger, nothing else
  3. Julius mode

For multi-touch gestures, the fingers have to be far enough apart from each other, so that the Vita will not erroneously recognize them as a single finger. Otherwise the pointer will jump around.

Physical Bluetooth mice and keyboards are supported. This was tested with the "Jelly Comb Mini Bluetooth Keyboard With Mouse Touchpad," and with the "Jelly Comb Bluetooth Wireless Mouse." The Vita doesn't pair with all Bluetooth devices.
