Finally We have it thanks to the amazing effort of @Nabsi He ported the game and fixed some serious issues in just 5 hours. As he is facing issues creating a account here, Posting this on behalf.

Video of the dink hd port : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR-LHvnd8qw

Github link : https://github.com/NabsiYa/RTDink-Vita/releases/tag/1.0.0-alpha

Steps to install the game on ps vita:

1) This is required for the shader that port uses
https://samilops2.gitbook.io/vita-troubleshooting-guide/shader-compiler/extract-libshacccg.suprx

2) Dink smallwood hd data can be extracted from android apk file
https://www.rtsoft.com/pages/dink.php
This must be placed inside ux0:/data/proton

3) Download the .vpk file from below link and install the same via vitashell
https://github.com/NabsiYa/RTDink-Vita/releases/tag/1.0.0-alpha

The game should work if it fails to launch then files are not placed correctly , check log at ux0:/data/logs.txt to find out which file is missing.

Known Issues & Bugs:
1) There is no music during gameplay , for the music to play the sounds require to be converted to .ogg for files located here
ux0:/data/proton/dink/sound
2) Dmod compatibility is limited , needs to be tested.

Hopefully @Nabsi will join here soon to explain in detail regarding the port. Huge thanks to him for this effort.

Nice job!
I won't try it though, because I don't have a Vita. You know, even if I had one, I'd probably just spend the time trying to finish my PC library. It speaks volumes that I have a PS2 and a DS, and I still don't play any games on them for months, even though I have a nice library (PS2) and a good opportunity (DS, flash cart) because I have a few hundred PC titles I still never finished or played.
Also, is it just me, or did I notice correctly that new users have trouble registering on the DN for a while now?

2nd generation. No easy way to be free. 
I am pretty sure that the problem with Chrome is due to changes in the browser, for which there appear to be some work-arounds.

Check out my comment in the "Can't download files directly" discussion.

the common, casual userbase that downloads and doesn't talk isn't going to go through the effort.

I was testing the game for Nabi on my pstv and almost 30% through, the game looks great on a tv so far the only issues i faced are mostly performance of the game outdoors it is a bit slow and controls specially movement is a bit hard due to the thumbstick not in use , the analog directions are a bit hard to use.

@Skurn:

You make a good point. Hopefully, this is something that affects other websites that are being browsed by Chrome, such that Chrome users will try the "Right Click/Save link as" option. But, just in case, let's see if we can get Redink to help us.

Mister Redink; Can you please "fix" this for Chrome, a very common browser? Alternatively, could you include directions near every download button that say something like "[Chrome Users may need to use [Right Click/Save link as to download]" OR "[Some Browsers may require the use of [Right Click/Save link as to download]".

Everyone: #1 What is the best way to reach out to Redink with this request? I just left a message for him on discord. #2 Does anyone know if any other browsers have this problem?
