Simpsons Hit And Run PS VITA [VPK + Game Data Files] Installation Guide
Hey guys, your friendly neighborhood Phantasy Star Nova Enjoyer is here to give you the newly released Simpsons Hit and Run port VPK and Game Files! All credit goes to the dev on Discord.
Since I've had the PC game for some time I've decided to upload my data files as well as the VPK from the Zealous Chuck Discord Server here.
This is just a "beta" and the final release is yet to be posted on GitHub, these game data files are still useful but the VPK included may become outdated at a later date.
EDIT: Just wanted to update you guys, Zeno has officially released his build to GitHub. So, while you can still use the game data files I've posted, I'd ask that from now on, you download the SRR2.VPK from Zeno's GitHub page as it will be the most upto date version of the game with important bug fixes and performance increases.
DOWNLOAD THE UPDATED SRR2.VPK HERE
HOW TO INSTALL THE GAME:
- Download either the VPK and Game Data folder separately or, what I recommend, download the SSHAR VPK and GAME DATA.7z file which has them both (and may be faster).
1a. If you have the .7z file with both then unpack the files.
1b. If you download the files separately then you'll need to unpack and rename the folder back to just "Simpsons" as GD adds extra useless data into to the file folder name.
Open VitaShell and connect your Vita to your Phone/PC however you choose. In your Vita's main directory, (that's the main file folder that opens up when you connect your vita to your device) place the SRR2.VPK into your directory. (Some people have a VPK folder for installs so if you do you can also place it in that too).
Once the transfer is complete, you should also see a folder in your directory named data. Open the DATA folder. Now locate the GAME DATA folder you downloaded named Simpsons and place it into the DATA folder. (Its almost 2 gigabytes so it may take a few minutes. Please be patient.)
Press O and go down to the SRR2.VPK and Press X to install it.
When its done the game is ready to play! Congrats!

Final Remarks
This is quite the incredible port and I'm glad to see a favorite of mine finally on the PS Vita! As the dev stated this is the "release candidate build" so improvements could be made before the official release to GitHub, so be sure to join the discord link to keep tabs on improvements to fps and such. Tho you can overclock your vita for even better performance.
To see the original VPK and to stay up-to date join the Zealous Chuck Discord server! Go to the homebrew tab to see the port/dev.
Again All credit goes to the dev, Zenoselea on Discord as I have nothing to do with this port.
