What?

As taken from the Steam store page...

Pony Island is a suspense puzzle game in disguise. You are in limbo, trapped in a malevolent and malfunctioning arcade machine devised by the devil himself. The devil detests having his puzzles solved and poor programming exposed; you will need to think outside the box to proceed and you will be insulted when you do.

This repository contains a stripped VPK file for the game and a series of patches, that when combined will produce a fully playable version of Pony Island on the PS Vita. Please note that you will need to obtain the game files for yourself to make this work.

How do I set this up?

Steam

If you have the latest Steam files for the game, then continue on with this section.

Note that the files you need are in the depot with it's ID being 405641. You can check what depot you currently possess by taking a look at the file in (STEAM INSTALL HERE)/steamapps/appmanifest_405640.acf. The depot you have installed should be under "InstalledDepots.

  • Download the repository and extract it to a new folder.
  • Go to your game folder, grab all of it's contents (PonyIsland.exe, PonyIsland_Data folder, etc.) and put them in a new folder called game (case-sensitive) in the repository folder.
  • Run the applyPatch.bat file and let it sit until it shows "Done!" on the command line.
  • There now should be a folder called patchedFiles with all of the patched content inside.

Congrats, you now have the patched files. But we're not done just yet.

Folder method

  • Connect your PS Vita to your computer via USB/FTP with VitaShell
  • Make a new folder on your Vita's SD Card (can be named whatever you want)
  • Open up the .VPK file from the Releases page of the repository and take it's contents to the new folder you just created.
  • Do the same thing but with the patchedFiles' contents
  • Select the folder on Vitashell and press trian
  • Go all the way down to More -> Install folder
  • Confirm your selection.

VPK method

  • Open up the .VPK file from the Releases page of the repository and drag 'n drop the patchedFiles' contents to the root of the VPK file.
  • Connect your PS Vita to your computer via USB/FTP with VitaShell
  • Drag 'n drop your VPK file to your desired location on your SD Card
  • Install the VPK file

At last, be sure to create a folder called PonyIsland in ux0:data/. This folder is essential to create, otherwise if you don't, the game will freeze on certain moments.
