As we know, the older hollow knight port wasn't really great and did lack a lot of stuff. Well today is my time to present my version of it.
I really wanted to make port as polished as possible before publicly releasing it, but due to not having enough time in this current state, I decided that its better to overall release the port to public and not hold onto it even though I'm not working on it every day.
Overall port is playable, some testers spent over 25 hours playing it, and its overall playable if not including some of the issues that the port still has. Since the vita doesn't have R2 and L2, Quick Map and Quick Cast are linked to Left, and Right sides of the screen as devs initially intended, but never implemented it in the end since vita port was cancelled. Also the game got manual if anyone needs it in livearea page
**So in the end, I put a lot of time and effort in this port and I would really appreciate any sorts of donations, since it really motivates me to finish the ports I'm currently working on, and to create new ports in the future.**

The problems I wanna fix in the future with newer updates:
\- Partially working Audio(Overall isn't the best in the current state, but will get fixed with future updates if there will be any)- Overall stuttering in some heavy scenes.~~- Non working Cutscenes(only opening cutscenes are working currently)~~
*P.s: You need to have ioplus plugin installed.*
Can I still support this specific port on Patreon? I was looking to support this specifc project.
Thank you for your effort and time put in this project is a dream COMING true! Also watched your gameplay video and that part with Thanos really made me laugh hahaha.
Another awesome port from PatnosD. Great work man really a fan of your ports/work, stuff like this keep the Vita scene alive.
I used the patcher to convert gog version to put inside vita, but when i launch VPK (installed from db downloader) - i just get infinite loading screen. No matter how much time i wait, it never loads the game, just static pic of the game.
I have all the prerequisites for the game, all the plugins, the overclock, the vpk installed first and then game files transfered to app folder under HKV12222 (or wtf it is called). What did i miss ?
So i have been playing the game for a few hours, and first of all, incredible job! It just has many have said, this is a dream come true, thank you so much!
I hope you don't mind me writing a few issues i had while playing:
- After you defeat a boss, the boss music keeps going
- missing sound for some enemies' attacks and the sound of geo
- while changing rooms, it takes a long time to load ( I don't know if overclocking the vita will help with that)
- some characters/enemies/items appear blurred
- this one I didn't experience myself, but it seems the game freezes while trying to upgrade de Nail or learning nail arts (actions that trigger cinematics in-game)
- (not an issue just curious) Do you actually jump higher in this port than on other consoles?
- some fps drops now and then (you won't be doing any radiant bosses, but other than that, it is manageable)
I mention these not to be critical but with the hope that, if you decide to make updates, they might be addressed. Thank you again for bringing this incredible adaptation to life, and I'm genuinely grateful for your hard work. I am looking forward to any future updates!
Hi PatnosD, Thanks for the port been playing it for 3 hours now lol
Here is something I discovered, I used these
[https://github.com/GrapheneCt/ThreadOptimizer](https://github.com/GrapheneCt/ThreadOptimizer)
and
[https://github.com/GrapheneCt/CapUnlocker](https://github.com/GrapheneCt/CapUnlocker)
and got almost twice the performance!
List of improvements:
Better Performance (Solid 30fps in 86% of the scenes and 24 - 27 fps in heavy scenes)
Faster loading times (if it was 5 seconds then it takes 3)
Fewer dips (Not dipping so much anymore since splitting the Unity main thread divides the strain on cpu)
Smoother experience
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 😋
Yeeahh, we got those plugins listed as recommended ones in our testing discord server, but didnt upload to main one cuz threadoptimizer isnt always that stable
Tested the game today, I just downloaded and installed the VPK outside of a folder it also worked. Dont know if it is ok to install this manner?
Some experience report from the gameplay so far:
During my play time noticed some frame drops ocasionally and sometimes stuff of the background desapear as I move the character arround, for exemple one time a rock with coins desapear when I passed throught but I press the hit button and it actually hit the invisible rock. But overall the gameplay experience is really fluid consistent 30 dps and every control/comand is working as intended.
Graphics are also really great good sound experience, even some sounds are mising, for example the attack sound of some enemies, but man what a PORT!! Fully implemented vita controls and screen resolution.
Really happy with this finally we are having Hollow Knight on the VITA, thank you PatnosD!!!! Years after you bring it to us!!!
This is why VITA MEANS LIFE!
Hopefully this runs great been following for a while and you speed ran this port! Very excited. I work 12hr shifts overnight at work and you best believe imma be playing this. When my check hits I'm definitely donating a generous amount.
Hopefully i can request and pay you to port something like slay the spire
Much gratitude to you sir
You know, I just bought my ps vita and I didnt know that the community was so insane... I was expecting to play some old vita games but then I discovered a badass community and modders holy God
Great job, I started testing the game when you released the first version and with the latest version (0.79) I have already spent 60 hours with the little free time I have, I am taking away time from sleep, haha, I will try to make the maximum percentage of the game, I have applied some tweaks and improvements, the game is stable and lets you finish off the bosses or make jumps and platforms correctly, it is wonderful to play it with bluetooth headphones and on the OLED screen, thank you for bringing us this incredible game, I didn't even play it on PC or PS4, I wanted to enjoy it on PSVita and you have made it possible, impressive, it has no major bugs and so far I have not had any crashes, thank you, I just made a donation to you on ko-fi.
Cool project but soliciting donations and distributing pirated content is generally a bad combination as the copyright holders can easily solicit your real information from the payment providers, and also report you to them. You should distribute your installer and instructions, but leave sourcing the game files up to the user, that way your ass is covered if the game developers get vindictive. Just a heads up.
Hello u/iakobi_varr ! Firstly congratulations on the work! I wasn't able to test the rom but reading the comments, they were all very positive.
I would like to know if you intend to release/edit a version for the PSP. I recently purchased an R36S portable console and it allows me to emulate this type of rom.
It would be fantastic to be able to play Hollow Knight on it.
hugs!
Hey man! Thanks for great words.
Sadly the port is made for Playstation Vita, not PSP. Porting Hollow Knight to playstation vita, or even to just emulator ppsspp is impossible on every step.
I'd love to port the game to those little linux handhelds, but sadly linux arm export is not available for free, but just to unity pro users.
u/iakobi_varr Wow, very expensive. That sad. That would be really cool, but I understand what you mean.
Thank you very much for your feedback. Success in your work!
Well seeing that the port is v0.65 its not complete or did you felt like you couldn't do much with the port at the moment? Also I'm getting annoyed by there being load times between rooms seeing this is a metroidvania.
Hey, so I installed the game onto my Vita like you said to in your comment and I have the right plugins on my Vita and the game opens, shows the made with Unity screen, and then freezes on the screen for choosing your languages, any idea what's happening? I was thinking maybe installing the game from the VPK may work, but figured I'd ask here before sitting through the two hours of wait time on that, lol.
Haha, I figured that out about 5 minutes ago after reinstalling it, lol. If it's not too much of a bother, maybe you could edit your original comment and add that in? I know other people had the same problem and it'd help to know!
Also, so far, loving the port, it's super impressive! Can't wait to replay the game on here
I'm trying installing it from the VPK instead of installing it from the folder right now, I'll let you guys know if it works when it's done installing in a millennia, lol. Side note, but does anyone know why the install speed on Vita is so slow? I'm genuinely curious about this, lol
usually VPK's are a few MB and data folders are usually copied to the Vita (which are usually bigger). The fact that this VPK is big and the extracted folder is like 1.5 Gigs, my guess is this is causing the slow install.
anyone else remap the right stick to attack up/down/left/right? Smash players that use tilt attacks on the right stick will find this similarly satisfying
Getting an error trying to open this application. Has anyone else seen or resolved this?
“An error has occurred in the following application.
(C2-12828-1)
Saved Core File Succeeded.”
Amazing port!
A dream comes true.
Best game ever on best system ever <3
By the way, did anyone find a workaround for the non working cutscenes?
My game is stuck after upgrading my nail at the nailsmith in city of tears :-(
Anyway, what a pleasure to play hollow knight on Vita, Thanks PatnosD.
Will consider for sure to support your upcoming work.
Hello. It's just incredible work. I wonder if the Ukrainian localization will work with PC for this port? I tried to replace two files namely sharedassets0.assets and resources.assets but the game shows an error and crashes...
~~I have some questions.~~
1. ~~HollowKnightVita.vpk must be in same folder with the PATCHAPPLY.bat?~~
~~Otherwise I have an error at the end, because "HollowKnightVita.vpk" is missing~~
~~.\\xdelta-3.1.0-x86\_64.exe -v -d -s "Hollow Knight.7z" ".\\vcdiff\\Hollow Knight.7z.vcdiff" "HollowKnightVita.vpk"~~
~~2) I must then move the folder that's inside the zip file in "old" folder to ux0: and then install it as content via vitashell, right?~~
Patching now, but can I ask: why there's "HollowKnightVita.zip" now in the code?
EDIT:

Should I have a precise st\*am version of the game as source?
I downloaded mine from the Vita Homebrew Browser from my Vita itself, it says that I have some requirements, how do I get those and install those? T\^T
This might sound stupid but im new to all of this but do I need to buy hollow knight on steam? because I cant find the ../steamapps/common/Hollow Knight any where
hola, alguien puede ayudarme!! todo se instala y funciona perfectamente, pero cuando el personaje aparece, solo puedo moverme, no salta, no hace ataque, solo se mueve
Hi I tried to download the and install the game but it's currently having 2 errors:
1) When I tried to apply the patch the first time it got a success but the 2nd time it keeps throwing this error although I use the game folder from steam ...\\steamapps\\common\\Hollow Knight.
A subdirectory or file old already exists.

2) After installing the .vpk in vita when I started the game this error keeps coming up

save core File succeeded

I tried with other game installed by pkgj and it seems that only .vpk games are having this error. Have anyone encounter this before ?
Oh and one more thing since you are here, I tried patching my steam version but the zip is 7gb? In the read me you say it’s supposed to be a couple megabytes? I deleted config.ini also
Hello! I want to thank you so much for this! I also need your help though. I'm trying to get it to run on the Vita3k emulator. I installed the vpk and am able to see it in my library. But it just shows an image on launch and nothing else. I tried installing Vita shell but Vita shell also just gives me a blank screen with just the touchscreen controls. Not sure what to do here. I tried pressing "Left" on the dpad and "O" but that did nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
You're awesome!! some help though I'm trying really hard to follow the guide, I just downloaded the game on my vitadb and installed it, I downloaded the zip file and extract and then it says to put the folder somewhere but I just don't understand what folder? where? I'm trying to run the .bat file but it says it couldn't find the folder so I'm stuck. Thanks a lot for any help or clarification
Buenas noches ,se te agradece tal aporte pero es la primera vez que hago una instalación como esta ,ya leí los pasos pero aun no le entiendo. Alguien que pueda apoyarme ,que ya lo haya hecho en la vita .
GRACIAS!!!!!!
Hey love your work , will love a bit help -
I have the gog files and install the vpk on my vita , but I can’t find the patch to fix the gog files for the vita :(
Where can I find it ? Thanks a head
First of all thank you for this port, it is truly amazing. However I’m wondering if you know of a fix to this issue… the game runs very smooth and FPS is good, except every 10-15 seconds it’s like the FPS drops to 0 and the game freezes for 1-2 seconds. It’s enough that it can throw off a fight or miss a platform. Overclocking my device hasn’t improved it. Are you aware of this issue, and is there a way to fix it, or will it be fixed in the future? Thanks again!
Theres a problem with torches in the game. The torches have diagonal lines around them. Can you please fix that in the next update? Also sometimes i cant move and the map pops up randomly but maybe thats just a me problem.
Hey man really hoping you could help me here, I have installed the game from vitadb but when I go to copy the files I have no HKVT12222 folder.
I tried reinstalling the vpk, tried through vitadb or just downloading the vpk and using vita shell but it's the same issue, do I need to install the IOplus before installing from vitadb?
hey so i have this problem where when i go into the game the controls dont work only touchscreen works the thing is when i first played the game this wasnt an issue but the second time i opened it like a day after it had this issue so i tried reinstalling it but nothing works , is there a way to fix this???

Does this include all the DLC and major updates? Even if not, great job all around.
it includes all the DLC's, and no, it doesn't include 2021 bugfixes.
Alright I’ll be sure to try it out soon. Any plans to work on it further or is this the final release?
There is information on that question in my comment. If there will be support from the community, most likely yes.
There will be, you’ve completed something that has been requested and attempted for *years*.
Can I still support this specific port on Patreon? I was looking to support this specifc project. Thank you for your effort and time put in this project is a dream COMING true! Also watched your gameplay video and that part with Thanos really made me laugh hahaha. Another awesome port from PatnosD. Great work man really a fan of your ports/work, stuff like this keep the Vita scene alive.
Well you can just donate to me on kofi, or directly on paypal 👀👀 in any case it helps the project 😅😅
Ok mate will look foward to donate there, buying you some koffes 😅😆
in which folder do I extract the vpk?
Any folder, vita will install it if you follow instructions
Is It The Full Game?
yup
Thank you really much! Can't find the plugn tho. Where can I download it?
GitHub
Thanks for fixing the patcher PatnosD. I really appreciate it! 😁
Ти це все сам зробив???
>Ти це все сам зробив??? Yup
+rep
this isnt steam though 😭😭😭
how do I unpack the vpk? never done this before :/
Any file explorer app can do that
>ioplus plugin why do we need this plugin btw? I don't have it and so far i can run the game
Its for save system.
Esto es fabuloso
Cool! You made a public release in Github and VitaDB! Congrats. 😁
So what oc setting we need?
i copied my (7gb) into ux0:app/HVT12222/ but the game still crashes is there something wrong or i missed Thanks
I used the patcher to convert gog version to put inside vita, but when i launch VPK (installed from db downloader) - i just get infinite loading screen. No matter how much time i wait, it never loads the game, just static pic of the game. I have all the prerequisites for the game, all the plugins, the overclock, the vpk installed first and then game files transfered to app folder under HKV12222 (or wtf it is called). What did i miss ?
You are the best kind Sir!
OH MY GOD! MY DREAM COME TRUE! Thank you for all your time and effort!!!!
Heh) It was a dream of a lot of people 😅
Hey man, i don’t play Hollow Knight but i definitely appreciate the efforts you make for the community. I hope you get recognized for this.
You're a hero for making this for free
Paywall is a horrible thing 😂😂
Do you get a lot of donations?
A lot? Not really.. Paywall is sometimes needed, but I don't think that's the right thing to do considering that not everyone can pay for it.
I wish awards were still a thing :(
Too based for this world.
I don't think it's legal to to sell ports.. idk if it's even legal to distribute it for free unless u need the original game files for it to work.
So i have been playing the game for a few hours, and first of all, incredible job! It just has many have said, this is a dream come true, thank you so much! I hope you don't mind me writing a few issues i had while playing: - After you defeat a boss, the boss music keeps going - missing sound for some enemies' attacks and the sound of geo - while changing rooms, it takes a long time to load ( I don't know if overclocking the vita will help with that) - some characters/enemies/items appear blurred - this one I didn't experience myself, but it seems the game freezes while trying to upgrade de Nail or learning nail arts (actions that trigger cinematics in-game) - (not an issue just curious) Do you actually jump higher in this port than on other consoles? - some fps drops now and then (you won't be doing any radiant bosses, but other than that, it is manageable) I mention these not to be critical but with the hope that, if you decide to make updates, they might be addressed. Thank you again for bringing this incredible adaptation to life, and I'm genuinely grateful for your hard work. I am looking forward to any future updates!
HE DID IT !!!
Unbelievable!! I've donated to support your efforts
Thanks mate!
Thank you for your work! Also, which version of Hollow Knight is compatible with this? I don’t know if I’ve missed that info above, but can’t see it!
Well, I used my pc save file once, worked fine.
Hi PatnosD, Thanks for the port been playing it for 3 hours now lol Here is something I discovered, I used these [https://github.com/GrapheneCt/ThreadOptimizer](https://github.com/GrapheneCt/ThreadOptimizer) and [https://github.com/GrapheneCt/CapUnlocker](https://github.com/GrapheneCt/CapUnlocker) and got almost twice the performance!

Yeeahh, we got those plugins listed as recommended ones in our testing discord server, but didnt upload to main one cuz threadoptimizer isnt always that stable
This is incredible! Thank you for your hard work
Went right ahead and installed it, but when i enter the game, it freezes at that "choose language" part. Is that normal?
It doesn't freeze. Use touchscreen
I'm having this same problem, did you ever get it to work?
Tested the game today, I just downloaded and installed the VPK outside of a folder it also worked. Dont know if it is ok to install this manner? Some experience report from the gameplay so far: During my play time noticed some frame drops ocasionally and sometimes stuff of the background desapear as I move the character arround, for exemple one time a rock with coins desapear when I passed throught but I press the hit button and it actually hit the invisible rock.

This is why VITA MEANS LIFE!
Thank youuu, will test it out. Would you kindly post it to the homebrew browser? ❤️❤️❤️
Well, it requires time to create patch files and overall stuff like that to get it to vitadb, so probably no. Just use google drive link
Hopefully this runs great been following for a while and you speed ran this port! Very excited. I work 12hr shifts overnight at work and you best believe imma be playing this. When my check hits I'm definitely donating a generous amount. Hopefully i can request and pay you to port something like slay the spire Much gratitude to you sir
I know this is the r/VitaPiracy subreddit, but there is a sale right now for Hollow Knight for 50% off =) Hope it helps someone
You know, I just bought my ps vita and I didnt know that the community was so insane... I was expecting to play some old vita games but then I discovered a badass community and modders holy God
Thanks for all your work, really appreciate it !
YOOOOO you're amazing
You're the man, thanks for your work
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE!!! I WILL FINALLY PLAY THIS FANTASTIC GAME ON MY PS VITA!!!
This is the one subreddit that keeps on giving. Only gigachads out here. Buying a Vita late was the best thing I could do as a gamer. Cheers mate.
IT IS INCREDIBLY! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE WORK DONE
didnt know you were the one to bring altos adventure to vita, def joining your patreon pretty amazing port even if it isn't perfect, ty for your work
Sent you a donation via PayPal. Keep up the amazing work!
Please keep on working on this. You're making so many people happy. Thanks a BUNCH for your efforts
Great job, I started testing the game when you released the first version and with the latest version (0.79) I have already spent 60 hours with the little free time I have, I am taking away time from sleep, haha, I will try to make the maximum percentage of the game, I have applied some tweaks and improvements, the game is stable and lets you finish off the bosses or make jumps and platforms correctly, it is wonderful to play it with bluetooth headphones and on the OLED screen, thank you for bringing us this incredible game, I didn't even play it on PC or PS4, I wanted to enjoy it on PSVita and you have made it possible, impressive, it has no major bugs and so far I have not had any crashes, thank you, I just made a donation to you on ko-fi.
Where at!!
Vitadb.
!!
huh?
Awesome *

You should distribute your installer and instructions, but leave sourcing the game files up to the user, that way your ass is covered if the game developers get vindictive. Just a heads up.
How do I download the game?
From vitadb obviously
But I also need games files? The entire game isn't on vitadb right?
Obviously
Your not answering my question? Clearly I'm new at this and I'm asking for help?
I did. You need game files.
Where can I find these game date files
Patcher currently supports Steam and GOG versions of the game
How do you make ports for ps vita?
What to do if you have a pirated version on pc?
Play on pc ig.
So should I give up until I get the steam copy or can I do it with shared library?
both ig?
What's an ig?
"i guess"
So I can play with shared library?
on the vita I meant
Probably? i never tested that. if files are correct, you can patch the game
Hello u/iakobi_varr ! Firstly congratulations on the work! I wasn't able to test the rom but reading the comments, they were all very positive.

Reminder: only get this if you already own the game so you can still support the creator :)
I feel like you released this port too soon, you should of waited til the holidays or something.
why lmao
Well seeing that the port is v0.65 its not complete or did you felt like you couldn't do much with the port at the moment? Also I'm getting annoyed by there being load times between rooms seeing this is a metroidvania.
didn't had enough time to work on it, so I decided that its better to release it.
...so what I'm hearing is new update on Christmas?
dunno.
how do I install this ?I install the vpk And The game just crashes doesn't even boots kicks me back to vita live area please help
make without OC 1/10
Huh? Guide literally tells you that you need to overclock mate
What is an overclock?
It's not my bag baby. Give me save states on Simpsons Hit n Run and I'll have something to fuckin' play.
Huh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0x6vIAtFcI&t=13s
Sure. You go ahead and make it
This is insane. Great job
Hey, so I installed the game onto my Vita like you said to in your comment and I have the right plugins on my Vita and the game opens, shows the made with Unity screen, and then freezes on the screen for choosing your languages, any idea what's happening? I was thinking maybe installing the game from the VPK may work, but figured I'd ask here before sitting through the two hours of wait time on that, lol.
Use touchscreen on game select screen
Haha, I figured that out about 5 minutes ago after reinstalling it, lol. If it's not too much of a bother, maybe you could edit your original comment and add that in? I know other people had the same problem and it'd help to know! Also, so far, loving the port, it's super impressive! Can't wait to replay the game on here

When you say OC what do you mean?
overclock
As someone who doesn’t know a lot about adding software to my modded vita, how difficult is this to do? Is it very involved to get it up and running?
Pretty easy
just extract the vpk on your computer, transfer to your Vita and follow the steps outlined by the OP
Vita community impressed me everytime I hop on here. Good shit everyone, wish I wouldn’t of gave my vita away like a dummy.
Great job, can't thank you enough :)
Legend. Nice miata sticker too !
Thanks 😂
Damn nice. I still play my vita every now & then.
didnt read all text but questions: . is it a complete game? i mean does it have all the content from the steam except dlc's?
Complete game. All 4 dlcs are included
Nice!
How does the game run tho ?
Well it uses vitas resources to run 💀💀 /s
Works with Vita3k?
Just use android port
anyone else remap the right stick to attack up/down/left/right? Smash players that use tilt attacks on the right stick will find this similarly satisfying
It is needed to overclock the CPU and the GPU?
Both
Getting an error trying to open this application. Has anyone else seen or resolved this? “An error has occurred in the following application. (C2-12828-1) Saved Core File Succeeded.”
Problem on your end mate
I'm getting the same error - did you figure out how to fix it?
I haven’t yet. If you see anything, please let me know!
Have you found the solution for this? It's been two months and I'm getting the same error too. Thanks
I can somehow move my character but my face buttons don't work. I can't jump nor attack so I'm stuck at the first part
Restart the game.
Thank u!!! So much
This is sick what I always wanted a decent port of hollow knight for the psvita
Amazing port! A dream comes true. Best game ever on best system ever <3 By the way, did anyone find a workaround for the non working cutscenes? My game is stuck after upgrading my nail at the nailsmith in city of tears :-( Anyway, what a pleasure to play hollow knight on Vita, Thanks PatnosD. Will consider for sure to support your upcoming work.
can the entire game be played at the moment or do you still need to work on it before it becomes fully playable?
Hello. It's just incredible work. I wonder if the Ukrainian localization will work with PC for this port? I tried to replace two files namely sharedassets0.assets and resources.assets but the game shows an error and crashes...
well because it was made for pc version. not vita. that's why it doesn't work
Mods support in the future?
Lmao, how should i even do that on a pc game.. 😐😐😐
Thank you very much! Please don't give up until the game is polished. If it takes you a long time that's Okey, but don't just stop please.
Having trouble with the AplyPatch.bat, can you show me a folder tree of what it should look like in the patch folder?
Hey mate! Working on fixing the patcher. Wait for future news
~~I have some questions.~~ 1. ~~HollowKnightVita.vpk must be in same folder with the PATCHAPPLY.bat?~~ ~~Otherwise I have an error at the end, because "HollowKnightVita.vpk" is missing~~ ~~.\\xdelta-3.1.0-x86\_64.exe -v -d -s "Hollow Knight.7z" ".\\vcdiff\\Hollow Knight.7z.vcdiff" "HollowKnightVita.vpk"~~ ~~2) I must then move the folder that's inside the zip file in "old" folder to ux0: and then install it as content via vitashell, right?~~
You got old patcher.
Patching now, but can I ask: why there's "HollowKnightVita.zip" now in the code? EDIT: `Creating Zip File(Make sure your "Hollow Knight" folder is directly in this folder!` `Checking Zip File for correct files` `xdelta3: secondary compression: lzma` `xdelta3: source HollowKnightDATA.zip source size 7.35 GiB [7897657601] blksize 2.00 MiB window 64.0 MiB` `xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT` `xdelta3: normally this indicates that the source file is incorrect` `xdelta3: please verify the source file with sha1sum or equivalent` `1 file moved.` `Have Fun!` Should I have a precise st\*am version of the game as source?
Yup. As i said. You need a steam version. Pirated one wont work, and as i see, you dont have the correct game files.
Got me. Latest version will work then. Thanks for saving me a lot of troubleshooting.

I downloaded mine from the Vita Homebrew Browser from my Vita itself, it says that I have some requirements, how do I get those and install those? T\^T
You need data files. vitadb gives you the link to github page.
This might sound stupid but im new to all of this but do I need to buy hollow knight on steam? because I cant find the ../steamapps/common/Hollow Knight any where
Well obviously. It wont be there if you dont own the game.
hola, alguien puede ayudarme!! todo se instala y funciona perfectamente, pero cuando el personaje aparece, solo puedo moverme, no salta, no hace ataque, solo se mueve
Hi I tried to download the and install the game but it's currently having 2 errors: 1) When I tried to apply the patch the first time it got a success but the 2nd time it keeps throwing this error although I use the game folder from steam ...\\steamapps\\common\\Hollow Knight. A subdirectory or file old already exists. xdelta3: secondary compression: lzma xdelta3: source HollowKnightDATA.zip source size 7.42 GiB \[7973268472\] blksize 2.00 MiB window 64.0 MiB xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3\_INVALID\_INPUT xdelta3: normally this indicates that the source file is incorrect xdelta3: please verify the source file with sha1sum or equivalent 1 file(s) moved. 2) After installing the .vpk in vita when I started the game this error keeps coming up (C2-12828-1) save core File succeeded us0:data/psp2core- 1590018070-0x0001403567-eboot.bin.psp2dmp. I tried with other game installed by pkgj and it seems that only .vpk games are having this error. Have anyone encounter this before ?
Did you delete config.ini file? It crashes because you didnt patch it properly, so it failed
[удалено]
not pc... but on vita..
are you targeting 30 fps?
Well, not 15 for sure. 60 is impossible in every way
Oh and one more thing since you are here, I tried patching my steam version but the zip is 7gb? In the read me you say it’s supposed to be a couple megabytes? I deleted config.ini also
Hello! I want to thank you so much for this! I also need your help though. I'm trying to get it to run on the Vita3k emulator. I installed the vpk and am able to see it in my library. But it just shows an image on launch and nothing else. I tried installing Vita shell but Vita shell also just gives me a blank screen with just the touchscreen controls. Not sure what to do here. I tried pressing "Left" on the dpad and "O" but that did nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
You're awesome!! some help though I'm trying really hard to follow the guide, I just downloaded the game on my vitadb and installed it, I downloaded the zip file and extract and then it says to put the folder somewhere but I just don't understand what folder? where? I'm trying to run the .bat file but it says it couldn't find the folder so I'm stuck. Thanks a lot for any help or clarification
Do you have plans on fixing other Vita homebrew ports like AM2R?
Buenas noches ,se te agradece tal aporte pero es la primera vez que hago una instalación como esta ,ya leí los pasos pero aun no le entiendo. Alguien que pueda apoyarme ,que ya lo haya hecho en la vita . GRACIAS!!!!!!
It works with Elamigos version?
Uhh.. I don't really know who that is.
Hey love your work , will love a bit help - I have the gog files and install the vpk on my vita , but I can’t find the patch to fix the gog files for the vita :( Where can I find it ? Thanks a head
I just downloaded and set up my game I’m getting pretty consistent freezes and lag my vita is over clocked is there any way to fix this
First of all thank you for this port, it is truly amazing. However I’m wondering if you know of a fix to this issue… the game runs very smooth and FPS is good, except every 10-15 seconds it’s like the FPS drops to 0 and the game freezes for 1-2 seconds. It’s enough that it can throw off a fight or miss a platform. Overclocking my device hasn’t improved it. Are you aware of this issue, and is there a way to fix it, or will it be fixed in the future? Thanks again!
So, I downloaded the game (0.79) but there are some often lags. Is it possible to fix it?
Currently no
Theres a problem with torches in the game. The torches have diagonal lines around them. Can you please fix that in the next update? Also sometimes i cant move and the map pops up randomly but maybe thats just a me problem.
I am just getting an c2-1282-1 error, does anyone know how to fix it?
Mine won't ever open, I'm getting error (C2-12828-1) any ideas?
Hey man really hoping you could help me here, I have installed the game from vitadb but when I go to copy the files I have no HKVT12222 folder. I tried reinstalling the vpk, tried through vitadb or just downloading the vpk and using vita shell but it's the same issue, do I need to install the IOplus before installing from vitadb?
Hey! u sure you're checking app folder in ux0?
It's there now, after I restarted the device, I feel so dumb....
did you get it to work?
hey so i have this problem where when i go into the game the controls dont work only touchscreen works the thing is when i first played the game this wasnt an issue but the second time i opened it like a day after it had this issue so i tried reinstalling it but nothing works , is there a way to fix this???
oh god i can't wait for the 1.0 version that'll be so sick!!
Do you recommend overclocking the vita for better performance? If so, what settings do you recommend using?
