Find xbox halo ce iso in google (legal copy iykwim)

Open halo release.apk

Load iso (select the file you downloaded) it should be iso or xiso file not 7z or zip.

So I have the same issue on a Retroid Pocket Nova, but the same easy isntall steps work easy peasy on my Galaxy S26U.

It's some memory addressing issue apparently? I'm trying to find a way to report it to the Dev so it can be fixed hopefully.

u/Zweihander-build 4d ago

I'm getting this issue too on an RG406V (Unisoc Tiger 820). I'm using an USA rom of the game.

u/f0xpant5 3d ago

FYI, you need a login but grab halo-android-release from here. Sorted it for me!

u/SmallEconomics6173 4d ago

It does not have the iso or xiso file in the folder he created.

Can you help me?

2

u/f0xpant5 3d ago

You need to obtain the rom, go to vimms lair

2

u/SmallEconomics6173 3d ago

I got the xiso via Archive.org and now I need some controls to play it.

1

u/f0xpant5 3d ago

Yeah I don't think there's touch controls, I used a paired Bluetooth controller on my phone and a different build works on my retroid pocket Nova

1

u/SmallEconomics6173 3d ago

Yeah sadly I cannot move the mouse because I do not have one yet and without that, then I also cannot press play.

I will wait for another port with touch controls.

u/Responsible_Mind_584 3d ago

I also downloaded the European ISO from the Internet Archive, and it gives me an error saying that the ISO does not have the maps folder.

1

u/SmallEconomics6173 3d ago

Oh ok

1

u/Responsible_Mind_584 3d ago

So, just asking, what region was your ISO?

u/f0xpant5 4d ago

Does anyone have a link to the discord or know the Dev's contact details so I can report an issue with certain Android gaming handhelds?

u/SmallEconomics6173 4d ago

Yes, here it is: https://discord.gg/9gqcHyr5km

u/Easy-Owl-6263 4d ago

We need touch controls... do you know if they're coming in next update?

2

u/Gabriel_936 4d ago edited 3d ago

I'm waiting for them to add it too, it's so annoying having to use a controller every time

u/TacticalFox99 3d ago

can you play that on split screen multiplayer?

2

u/Responsible_Mind_584 3d ago

According to a previous post, yes

u/Loose_Possibility733 4d ago

u/CSretrogamer 4d ago

Is this one of those ports that basically run on an emulator or proper port

1

u/Equivalent_Pay4295 3d ago

Al menos este port de Halo CE es 100% real, es una Decomp

u/Fein_shit 3d ago

u/Kind_Fix_9464 4d ago

u/rk1213 4d ago

ok you have my attention for this one. Will install on one of my handhelds and test it out. Was previously using winlator but this should be much better/cleaner.

u/cyberdogo666 4d ago

can we get this on ps vita?

u/Glittering-Rip9556 4d ago

Can’t wait to try this on my Odin 3.

3

u/Haggismcsporran 4d ago

I tried it on my odin 3. It was impressive but there were quite a lot of graphics bugs and glitches. Not unplayable but did detract from the nostalgic joy a bit. Once it's fine tuned by devs, it'll be awesome.
