So if you want a chance to play Vita games on your phone, you’ll need to join Discord to get access to the APK. File for installation on your phone or tablet.
It also appears that updates to the emulator app will come from the Discord channel as well. You will need a device running Android 7.0 or later to run the app. Also, it should be ARM64 and should support Vulkan 1.0. It’s also worth noting that the emulator can have a tendency to be extremely resource heavy. So you may need a device with good specs to meet any demand.
