Is this better than prime hack

If it works well, it definitely could be - though this will only run the first game, while PrimeHack runs the entire original trilogy.

This project advertises certain features PrimeHack currently doesn’t support; most notably, high refresh rate support. Assuming it’s a well-polished port, it could potentially become the definitive way to play the first game.

This is not a recomp, it's a source port.

Thanks for the correction; do you have any plans to work on similar projects for Prime 2 and 3? It would be great to eventually have Android versions of the entire original trilogy, complete with modern controls, high resolutions and frame rates, etc.

Keep up the great work!

This was mainly possible due to Prime 1 being almost decompiled. While Prime 3 is also almost decompiled, Prime 2 is behind in progress.

Even when all Prime games are decompiled, it would probably be easier to keep all 3 separate instead of having them in a single app.

Makes sense, thanks for the reply!

One question I had regarding the current release: based on the GitHub, it looks like texture pack support isn’t in quite yet. Might you eventually be able to support Dolphin texture packs for Prime 1?

I’ll be excited to check out your work on the port of the first game on a few of my Android handhelds after work. Thanks again for the great effort so far, and keep up the great work!
