Release 4

Changelog

• added FIOS2 I/O from the GTASA port to reduce stutter due to SD reads;
• added a config file with a bunch of settings to tweak;
• restored debris (bullet cases and empty mags);
• added crouch toggle option to circumvent the problem with the face buttons;
• added option to load priority archives (ie MPM mod archives; no PC mod will probably work without edits);
• other misc changes.

If you already had a previous release installed and working, you only need to install the new VPK for this update.

Known issues

• The game takes a while to start and load levels.
• Key binding menu does not display button names correctly.
• Intro movies don't play, since the player is not implemented.

How to install

Before installing the game, you should do the following on your Vita:

1. Install kubridge same way you install other .skprx plugins: download kubridge.suprx, copy it to ux0:/tai/ and add these lines to your ux0:/tai/config.txt:

*KERNEL
ux0:tai/kubridge.skprx

2. (optional) Install fdfix if you don't want your game to crash on suspend.
3. Extract the runtime shader compiler.
4. Reboot.

You're going to need:

• .apk file for version 1.7 (latest version at the time of writing);
• .obb file for version 1.6 or 1.7 (usually located at /sdcard/android/obb/com.rockstar.maxpayne/main.3.com.rockstar.maxpayne.obb).

Both files can be obtained from your phone if you have a copy of the game installed.
Both files can be opened or extracted with anything that can extract .zip files.

To install:

1. Install the latest VPK from the Releases page.
2. Extract the assets folder from your .apk to ux0:/data and rename it to maxpayne.
3. Extract lib/armeabi-v7a/libMaxPayne.so from your .apk to ux0:/data/maxpayne.
4. Extract the contents of the .obb file into ux0:/data/maxpayne. You can skip all the .msf files except for MaxPayneSoundsv2.msf and any extra languages that you want.
5. Extract the contents of the data.zip from the latest release into ux0:/data. Replace everything.

You can put the game data onto uma0: or imc0: instead of ux0:. Paths remain the same.

The game will show an error message if it detects that anything is wrong. Please read those and check the relevant parts of your setup.

If the error says Could not find symbol ..., that likely means you have the wrong .apk. You need one for v1.7, others will not work.

If the game crashes on startup, double check your setup and the closed issues. If you can't find a solution, please post an issue with your last crash dump attached. Crash dumps are usually in ux0:/data/.

The Vita port has an extra config file, located at ux0:/data/maxpayne/config.txt. It is created when you first run the game and allows you to tweak some internal settings. For more detailed descriptions of said settings check the wiki article.

Release 3

Changelog

• fixed memory leak related to entering the pause menu;
• the game will now look for data files in uma0: and imc0: in addition to ux0:;
• the game now checks if data files and kubridge are present and shows an error screen if it can't find something;
• touch screen now maps to L1/R1 instead of L3/R3, since the game doesn't read L3/R3.

If you already had a previous release installed and working, you only need to install the new VPK for this update.

• The game takes a while to start and load levels.
• Key binding menu does not display button names correctly.

Known issues

• The game takes a while to start and load levels.

• Key binding menu does not display button names correctly.
• Intro movies don't play, since the player is not implemented.
