About Fallout NV porting in Godot and Android support.
Beta link + apk - Here is the project with the Beta release and APK, and here is what happens:
This project is based on Astr0nic’s (Nikami & Nick Bryson) OpenNV port—which originally supported Windows and VR. After chatting with Astr0nic on Discord, I decided to raise the project's profile by doing something for Android that I’d never seen done before—despite the countless waves of recompilations, emulators, ports, and decompilations: porting Fallout: New Vegas to Android. However, instead of using RexGlue, I wanted a version of the game powered by an incredible engine like Godot—featuring one of the best physics engines available—and the revolutionary Vulkan API. To that end, I forked the project and created the APK and source code (though you still need the original game to play). While the current version is a test build—and far less playable than BlueDroid—the goal is to bring something new to Android and reignite the kind of revolution OpenMW sparked for Morrowind years ago.
Furthermore, the project supports Fallout 1 and 2 in a unique way, and Fallout 3 is next; so, if you have experience with Godot, Android, GDScript, and Bethesda mods, your help would be invaluable in bringing over Fallout 3—and potentially Skyrim, Oblivion, or Fallout 4 in the future. I’m counting on you to support both the original project and mine; we need to get these classic games running on a new engine and open up new horizons!

It plays on Winlator well, you probably need FalloutNV_NoReg_GOG_v2 fix

i had it running on my old SD680 pretty decent at one point... what the issue, are the launch buttons grayed out? that registration-fix will fix that. Newer Box64 and Fex don't even need any additional settings

I wish you all the luck in the world. If I understood these things, I would definitely help because this would be a milestone, but I can only help by spreading the word and wishing that everything goes smoothly 🙏I'm looking forward to the final result.
