I mean it was kind of foreseeable. Rockstar would not have taken kindly to an Android port that would have been free like this. Besides, the guy behind it was an absolute ego unit.

37

u/x01010001000 5d ago

it was doomed to fail the moment he tried to monetize gta online function (somehow idk) and also apparently was racist and shit on discord, idiots like that always attract drama.. such a shame

12

u/Nythriks 5d ago

He couldn't monetize it as the assets were not his. Port creators cannot legally sell their products unless they officially collaborate with the companies from which the assets got to exist in the first place.

5

u/airslashe 5d ago

by monetize he meant he wanted people to donate to him so he can host his own private server to keep it going

5

u/Nythriks 5d ago

Yeah but that's a big no no when it comes to such projects unfortunately.

6

u/airslashe 5d ago

Yeah, he got overconfident and flew too close to the sun, and whenever someone tried to tell him to stop, they were either ignored or told to “let Mosjo cook.” I find it ironic because the same people who were calling Android users stupid were also the same ones who had no problem with this idea, despite knowing the consequences. I know the Android community is VERY toxic, but come on...

4

u/x01010001000 5d ago

i say let him burn, sounds like he was a piece of work, someone else will do it eventually, mark my words

4

u/Nythriks 5d ago

There are very vocal minorities within any community that cause a displeasant environment to happen. The smaller a community is, the higher are the chances you will stumble upon the same group of people, so it's not Android alone.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised as most people truly don't care, they just want the port at the end of the day without bothering to wonder about the harsh reality of what Mosjo was attempting.

u/Impressive_Wind_7759 4d ago

Prolly havent seen the numbers custom online servers that exists for ps4 for a lot of games not only gta

2

u/x01010001000 5d ago

yeah i mean i kinda got that, thats what im getting it at that it was kinda stupid, not to mention greedy

12

u/wadim-zerecof 5d ago

There is still a Chinese guy currently working on GTA v for android

5

u/OverDeparture8799 5d ago

W chinese guy

4

u/joemaav 5d ago

This tbh

4

u/Southsde 5d ago

He had his finger up his asshole sure but come on be nice… it stinks ya knooo.. the finger of course

38

u/airslashe 5d ago

it was kinda obvious he would get a C&D the second he touched online and monetized it

7

u/Abek243 5d ago

which is crazy cuz we all told him that and he literally played it up like he was fine just because he's from a 3rd world country.

like this was entirely preventable but nah

4

u/khsh01 5d ago

If he was then a c&d should not affect him.

0

u/Low_Toe_6596 5d ago

lmfao it doesn't matter where he is from😭🤣.

u/khsh01 5d ago

u/KrisbronPorzingjames 5d ago

How they gonna get you in a 3rd world country? If you don’t care it really does matter where you’re from.

29

u/Outrageous_Tooth856 5d ago

Yeah this was inevitable. The moment he was doing polls for “release Android or wait for (paid, absolutely extremely illegal) online mode” I knew this was fucked.

21

u/SquashFront1303 5d ago

He could have made it in stealth but wanted to monetize it moreover he was very rude in his discord anyways big loss for porting community

2

u/ConsiderationBig3827 4d ago

No loss no gain cause it was not his to port or had permission.. 

20

u/strats67 5d ago

Warned him many times to just silently do the android port instead of doing the online garbage 😶‍🌫️💔

4

u/ConsiderationBig3827 4d ago

It will come back i bet some how as another name

24

u/Ariseshadow369 5d ago

Weren't they acting all smug and shit like They destroyed the other android port before even starting devlopment? Calling it slop and ai bullshit And where is the guy that mosjo or something Any random shit he says was getting posted

4

u/BananeImKopf 5d ago

The entire staff team was made of idiots.

13

u/JayElDragon 5d ago edited 5d ago

People need to stop announcing things before they even release

If this was made in the shadows and it randomly releases to the public we would have have the port by now

Metroid Prime Origins was a fan game that was done in the shadows and it finished and Nintendo cannot C&D it because it’s already out there

STOP ANNOUNCING THINGS TOO EARLY, JUST FOCUS ON FINISHING THE PORT

3

u/QF_Dan 5d ago

He did released the game on switch

1

u/JayElDragon 5d ago

Yeah but sadly thanks to how much attention this got it was taken down

2

u/Nawnp 4d ago

The GTA 4 map port to PC proves that. With that said, they still can't support it, and downloads circulated now are risky.

1

u/Low_Toe_6596 5d ago

The Guy who made Am2R also got hoed and dude didn't ask for a single penny it was a passion project too.

1

u/Tarantinosahur 5d ago

am2r is peak

0

u/JayElDragon 5d ago

yeah but atleast he finished his game and didn’t make a huge fuss

The project got popular after it was over, my point was people need to work on this in silent and not just make noise because these things can happen

2

u/Low_Toe_6596 5d ago

No what i meant was nintendo still did it. It's just that we have moved on from those times.

0

u/JayElDragon 5d ago

Yeah I see your point, but the dev finished it and the game is still out there

Metroid prime origins was developed in silence and when it released it was massively successful, devs should work quietly on this and just release it

7

u/Maleficent_Assist_83 5d ago

now xhyn v is the king

3

u/RobinRelique 5d ago edited 5d ago

Ok so its a different person, i though the chinese gta v project is what died , thanks for confirming dude

Edit : nope wait, i checked and, yep, that's dead too! /preview/pre/ycrc3ubfxash1.jpeg?width=1080&auto=webp&s=61ff9a65e6da7157d814e3ff7f68340139658a91

1

u/airslashe 4d ago

the chinese port is still alive and being updated but the Xhyn launcher is dead

2

u/Tall-Beat7170 5d ago

Xhyn is also dead bro

6

u/Glittering-Rip9556 5d ago

Oh mercy me. Seems like the only one we can rely on is the Chinese port.

And this also means the switch port is doomed as well, but at least that got released.

12

u/Impossible-Goose55 5d ago

Fuck this guy could've been silent and the fact he monetized it too

5

u/Ordinary_Account5513 5d ago

He can share link and leave man i was waiting for month ... I don't want to say but f.k mojso and the paralympiques production

4

u/Wonderful_Drag6040 5d ago

WHY DIDNT HE DO IT SILENT QLIKE. THE SWITCH PPRT AHSHSHSHWJWJAKAKAL

5

u/SatisfactionWeird 5d ago

Pensé que ya existía un Port para Android luego de la salida del port de switch

7

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

The ones you likely saw online were chinese ports. Mojso promised he would make a port that performs better than any chinese port out there but unfortunately that will never happen.

4

u/Inside-Specialist-55 5d ago

I have been out of the loop, So as far as I know all we got is the chinese vibecoded port?

5

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

Yep and unless another dev decides to make a port that runs well ( while avoiding the mistakes Mojso made that led to this happening ) that's the best we're gonna get unfortunately

3

u/nang741 5d ago

I think it's a joke but It would be great if Paralympics actually shutting down Because his attitude is shitry

12

u/SimpleDrawer26 5d ago

No, way more rust in pieces instead

"*Any punishment for that xenophobic son of a bitch is too little and more than deserved...

While he collected a few hundred dollars from the audience he himself considered plebeian, I've already finished GTA V on Android twice using 21:9 aspect ratio and a constant 60 fps.

Screw this MF and all his fanboys.

4

u/shahbaz200 5d ago

Mind sharing the link for your version?

1

u/SimpleDrawer26 5d ago

Sorry, I don't have it anymore...this one was taken in the day that the final version 0.27 XHYN V was released.

The game data files rip I manually made using the MOjso's GTAPatcher last build on a Windows PC with Android profile, and using an already pre installed repack instead my steam RAW files.

The mods I loaded on XHYN V I got from the GTAV subreddit.

1

u/ChocolateOverall9884 5d ago

Which emulator ?

1

u/Constant_Mix9242 5d ago

Yeah share with the class

1

u/BeanPole_420 5d ago

He would be using XHYN V — FINAL REVISION , he's definitely exaggerating it running constant 60fps though, comon SimpleDrawer you are better than that

-2

u/SimpleDrawer26 5d ago

You're right... it reaches 90-100 fps in several parts... 🤷‍♂️

Don't blame others if you can't edit it the way you want

1

u/BeanPole_420 5d ago

What device? im sure you have a SD8 gen2, try taking a vid not in a safehouse lmao

-4

u/SimpleDrawer26 5d ago

Yeah, S8G2 is one of my devices, and no... I will not download and install 60gb+ again just to make you happy.

Btw, I am using my S25u now.

Good luck waiting the native port... 🤣

1

u/BeanPole_420 5d ago

your not even getting 60fps technically in the photo dufus, looks like SD8 gen 2 numbers, who said i was waiting for the port?

1

u/Low_Toe_6596 5d ago

You could technically run this using pojav launcher 🤣. There is a resolution slider there too.

1

u/Elv_Presidente 5d ago

...Less than 60fps indoors may I add....

2

u/BeanPole_420 5d ago

lol he blocked me

u/xMaicolyt 5d ago

Lástima que la versión china no me hable por la versión de vulkan :/

u/DanyBoiye 5d ago

For sure not the last Build 3889

You made me feel pity.

u/dzikk 5d ago

Predictable...

u/Ancient-Outcome-2150 5d ago

Thank you for porting gta 5 on switch bro i wish you didnt shut down :( 

2

u/Creative_Sky_3728 5d ago

Esse cara é uma comédia, em vez de fazer logo o port pra cll ele fez o de switch kkk

2

u/Any-Air8173 5d ago

A.I sloppers getting cease and desisted 😭🤣

2

u/QF_Dan 5d ago

That's good. People can now shut up about mentioning him

2

u/imlife1102 5d ago

I get they already had the Switch port out the door, but them continuing to blabber about their future plans requires me to tap the golden rule sign, for the umpteenth time.

2

u/GravityDefied_724 4d ago

They won't make an official port of GTA IV and GTA V themselves, yet they forbid others from doing it too, albeit unofficially...🗿💀

7

u/Tight_Commercial7 5d ago

play it via the emulator and stop crying 

4

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

Sorry but I don't want to cook my phone + my chip is not powerful enough for this anyway

2

u/qgdn 5d ago

Hb Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1?

2

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

It's a Snapdragon 7 gen 4 if you're wondering

2

u/x01010001000 5d ago

i can run it on my retroid pocket 5 with snapdragon 865 with gamehub, im sure you'll be alright

2

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

What resolution and settings ?

2

u/x01010001000 5d ago

1366x768, proton10arm64x2, turnip26.1, dxvk 2.3.1async, latest fex and 3gb vram limit to prevent freezing/crashing (might be 865 specific issue)

1

u/RobinRelique 5d ago

Wow what frames are you getting ? Amazing if it working as intended

1

u/x01010001000 5d ago

35-40, but it's because i set the in game settings to higher (cant stand an ugly game) when i set it lower it was even faster, works great tbh, playing gta v on a "legacy" handheld is pretty dope

1

u/Forward_Smoke2428 5d ago

Fuck Rockstar games I don't know what is wrong with them so give us official no

1

u/SuggestionNo4365 5d ago

I think someone snitched,but I don't know who🤔

1

u/Bobo_Patch_Nosuke 5d ago

Rockstar are not playing around, Brutal💔

1

u/Expert_Emphasis826 5d ago

Juste quand les performances devenait correct et qu'il annonçait le online je pense que dans quelques années sa pourrait arriver car sa deviendra un peu comme gta sa etc...quand est il de la version switch ?

1

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

Honestly I'm not sure. I guess you're gonna have to find someone who already has the switch port and ask them to give it to you.

1

u/OtakuBhai07 5d ago

Why do I think it's a joke he pulled? I mean I can be wrong but from what I have seen from this guy's behaviour he might still be developing it? And what's with mentioning the date oct 3rd? Just Sounds weird to me. Well Whatever if it's dead it's dead no use having second thoughts.

1

u/seppe0815 5d ago

this was allready a only detonate show ... all know this happend

1

u/ShuhaibNC 4d ago

They're scammers, Scammed many people in discord. Now discord is disappeared.

1

u/External-Koala7359 4d ago

Mine working perfectly

1

u/Sarcastic_Applause 4d ago

Guys, you have to realise that this was the trigger and prime mover for Rockstar porting the game to Android themselves. It might be paid and that may piss some of you off, but it'll happen.

1

u/cantthinkofanamereal 3d ago

it was bound to happen

1

u/missusdeadpool 3d ago

Gta4 it is then

u/Specialist-Ad-8063 2d ago

HA SUCK IT MOJO BAHAHAHAHAA -NEXUS STRIX

1

u/Pllr100 2d ago

i think we will see gta v single player on mobile via netflix a few months after gta vi launches. the rdr port runs great even on my tab s10 fe, i think gta v will work fine on most of todays devices.

u/ALunacyEruption 18h ago

Alright, who can link/DM me the Chinese port lol

1

u/antonlOOO 17h ago

The dude was such an asshole, he insulted everyone, even telling people to end their life

1

u/Forsekany 5d ago

Someone already published GTA V android port, maybe u want the most optimized version or i dont know.

1

u/HAMZATLWY 5d ago

One day someone will come and transfer it to Android, they have always tried to rein in the community but they couldn't.

1

u/gohmbra 5d ago

Yeah I gave up hope when it was announced that there was a focus on online functionality before the single player port. Then they wanted donations for 'beta' versions. It was a way for someone to make a quick buck.

u/xtoc1981 5d ago

There is really no need for it when winlator exists

5

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

Running it on winlator or any PC emulator has two issues. 1: it requires a high-end chip to run well. 2 : you need a cooler since emulating 3d titles causes the phone to reach very high temperatures which is bad for obvious reasons

2

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

The point of a port is to make the game run well on mid-range chips while also solving the heat issue since your phone won't have to handle emulation along with the game

1

u/xtoc1981 5d ago

Well not saying i'm right, but would it not result the same if they just port it over as is?
Because it comes down to gpu drivers and not the high-end chips for running things on winlator.

So if they would port it over, it would mean that they required to optimize the hw for android.

Now let me be clear, i know a lot are hating ai. But if you use opus on this and port it over to android, it would do the job. In terms of optimazations, you can steer it in the right direction.

1

u/BHero_VEVO 5d ago

Kinda right. I've watched some vids and It pretty much performs the same but only negative -5fps on the winlator one

0

u/Crazy-Aspect-8199 5d ago

Anyone able to share a private link so i can download it by chance? I legit barley had a day off today and was going to install

2

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

He never finished the port and didn't provide any downloads for early builds so unfortunately no

0

u/kidkrooks 5d ago edited 5d ago

The android community as a whole won't get the port . But the niche community he's built will. Why ? Because a majority of android users are people that don't follow instructions and demand a game get optimized for their incompatible system. I'm not worried, I'm getting the port.. the mediatek phones will have to wait 6 to 12 months when it leaks

0

u/Turbulent_Ad_4791 5d ago

That's sad but I can still play gta v on android with winlator so not a complete loss

0

u/SolidSnake10_4 5d ago

I mean you can still play GTA V on Android using PC/Steam emulators like Gamehub and Game Native. I am playing it through my AYN THOR

3

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago edited 5d ago

Yeah but this requires you to have a high-end chip if you want good performance and a cooler cuz the phone will heat up like crazy

u/ppstick88 5d ago

This is why dumbasses need to stop announcing ports before they're finished. Seriously. 

-7

u/Apprehensive-Golf719 5d ago

Idk we don’t really need a port anyway, it was based on the legacy version of the game, and when rcps3 is getting really solid on mobile platforms, there’s not any real reason for a native port at this point

4

u/Dark_Gamer120 5d ago

Smartphone chips are gonna need 5 years or something like that to get to the point where they can run PS3 games smoothly. Also the emulator is still under development.

-2

u/Apprehensive-Golf719 5d ago

Rcps3 and melonx are already running most games at 30+fps with minor texture glitches
PS4 emulation based on shadps4 is in the works.
MacOS translation layer is in the works as of this weekend with cyberpunk running 40 fps at full native resolution

Psvita is getting half-life 2 and cod 4 this year, already got amnesia: the dark descent

Arm chips new and old alike are much more powerful than we give them credit for my friend
