Otome games for PlayStation Vita using emulator?

[YukiBana2000]

Hello otomes!
I have been testing 3 games in Vita3k (PS Vita Emulator) for some time...
The emulator It's making very slow progress... but it's making progress!
So I wished to make a quick guide like I did for Ryujinx and Yuzu.

***This Guide Can contain writing errors.

How to play on Vita3k:

***!Attention!***: Read Everything!
*Your system need to be x64. See if your computer have the right requirements: https://vita3k.org/quickstart.html
*Vita3k also requires the latest versions of Microsoft Visual C++. https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
*Not all games may install or work.
*Games Compatibility List: https://vita3k.org/compatibility.html (use games names or IDs to search)

1.You need to download the emulator
Latest releases: https://vita3k.org/#download

2. You need PS Vita firmware and font firmware package: https://mega.nz/folder/ehkjWaDJ#s0Rti79XiNG2m5UptFibaw

3. Open Vita3k, Install both firmware packages using the "File > Install Firmware" menu option.

4. Close everything, open Vita3k again, now you need the game. IT NEED TO BE MAIDUMPS, .PKG, NONPDRM, FAGDEC OR MANUALLY DECRYPTED GAMES (VPK/VITAMIN DUMPS ARE NOT SUPPORTED).
THE GAMES SHOULD BE IN .ZIP FORMAT TO INSTALL THEM ON THE EMULATOR.

5. To install a game: "File > Install .zip, .vpk" and wait.

6. The Vita3k Settings: "Configuration > Settings"
I am using this settings:
Core:
Modules Mode: Automatic

CPU:
Cpu Backend: Dynamic
✔: enable optimizations

GPU:
Internal Resolution Upscaling: 1x
✔: disable surface sync
⬜: enable anti-aliasing (FXAA)
✔: use shader cache
⬜: Use spir-v shader (deprecated)

Emulator:
⬜: disable ngs support
Log Level: OFF (or any)
✔: texture cache

7.Controls: "Controls > Keyboard Controls"
Map them. You can use mouse to play.

8. You may give feedback about how otome games are working on Vita3k, or about the guide. thanks!

Replacing the game files with patch files seens to work (tried with dialovers and hakuouki ssl), but I don't know if it's ok to play the entire game like that...

Sorry ;-; I'm late! (confused because I don't remember seeing your comment before .-.).
I'have not tested Binary Star, but another people did. It's labeled as Playable https://github.com/Vita3K/compatibility/issues/646
I put more tested games (not tested only by me) for people to know about their compatibility.
