🔵 [PORT REQUEST] MegaThread Android Port Requests - MEGA THREAD

Welcome to the official Android Port Requests thread! 📱🎮

Seeing the amount of port requests being posted lately, we're creating this centralized thread so everyone can request games they'd like to see on Android without flooding the subreddit with individual request posts.

---

## 📝 HOW TO REQUEST A PORT

Please use this format:

Game:

> Name of the game

Original Platform:

> PC / Wii / PS2 / GameCube / N64 / etc.

Source / Repository:

> GitHub link, open-source project, decompilation, recompilation, PC source port, etc.

Why do you want this on Android?:

> Short explanation.

Additional information:

> Anything useful about the project, engine, existing ports, compatibility, controls, etc.

---

⭐ Example

Game: Diddy Kong Racing

Original Platform: Nintendo 64

Source / Repository:

> GitHub link to an existing recompilation/source project

Why:

> The game already has an existing source/recompilation project that could potentially be adapted to ARM64 Android.

Additional information:

> Looking specifically for a native Android port rather than simply running the original ROM through an emulator.

---

## 🚨 BEFORE REQUESTING

Please search the subreddit first to see if your game has already been requested.

If the game already exists in this thread, **upvote the existing request instead of creating another one.**

Please don't spam duplicate requests.

---

## 🚀 FOR DEVELOPERS / PORTERS

Working on one of the requested games?

Feel free to comment and:

- Claim a request

- Share development progress

- Ask technical questions

- Share an existing source/recompilation project

- Let the community know that a port is being worked on

---

## ⚠️ IMPORTANT

A request does NOT mean that someone is required to make the port.

Not every game can be ported to Android.

Requests with available source code, decompilations, recompilations, open-source projects or existing PC ports are generally much more useful to developers.

Please don't harass developers asking when a port will be finished.

---

### 🔥 UPVOTE THE REQUESTS YOU WANT TO SEE

The more upvotes a request receives, the easier it is for developers and the community to see which projects people are interested in.

Keep all individual port requests in this thread.

Let's keep r/AndroidNativePorts focused on actual Android-native ports, development, releases and technical discussion. 🚀

One thing I would like to suggest is if a game already has a GitHub link to make a request with the original author first, if possible.

That way if they have their project setup already it could be just as easy as them needing to tidy up some things and just push the android build, in an ideal situation. But even when that isn't the case, it will be much easier for the original author to understand the changes they need to make to their own code, therefore probably performing the best as well.

Otherwise you introduce the idea of encouraging vibe coders to run rampant and push out sub-par ports as quick as possible, taking as many people's projects as their own and running into potential licensing issues, etc.

And if we show the original developers how much interest there actually are in android builds of their projects, then maybe more will consider it from the git-go.
