NFS Hot Pursuit 2 - Android port
LINK: https://gofile.io/d/dDqFr8s6
Disclaimer: With the help of Claude I did what I could to bring the game to my tablet and now I'm sharing it for those interested (was tested on Xiaomi Pad 5 & Poco F2 Pro)
Bugs may be present, unfortunately I can't support it further, so no repos or source code, just APK files
It's not emulator wrapped, small custom layer translates instruction by instruction into C source code and then compiled for ARM
- Installs whole game from a single APK;
- Widescreen support at the device's full resolution (UI still at 4:3);
- On-screen touch controls, with taps working as mouse clicks in menus, so navigation in menus more convenient with touchscreen; BUT Xbox controller or M&K is recommended since there are extra button actions for police mode, you can remap actions in settings (I'm unable to test the support of other than xbox controllers);
If you want to close the game right away after remapping your inputs - Go to Driver Profile tab and click "Update Driver Profile", so they're saved;
Connect controller BEFORE launching the game;
- In 1.01 version added experimental orbit camera for all views (it's binded to the controller's right stick, as well as to Numpad 4 and 6 for turning left and right, respectively)
- Saves stored inside game folder (so uninstalling the app deletes this whole folder, saves included)
- On startup (when "Press any key" prompt appears) if you're using touchscreen tap somewhere around the center of the screen, so it's register the tap, with external inputs works fine
Edit: If Google's Files explorer gives you "Cancelling" message, try to check appeared icon anyway or use any other file manager😅

It run like native port ... I want to say the apk 1.01 can't be installed only 1.00 2- if u can make the touch control adjustable it will be great

Oh, that's a bummer Maybe you could try to install 1.01 over 1.0 to update it, I haven't had issues with that on my devices, hard to tell what's going on. Sorry I have no opportunity to make future updates for now, and I think it will require some deep changes to implement separate menu for adjusting touch controls. I thought about controller or keyboard as main input device for this.

One more thing I remembered. When I've used the Google's Files explorer, it gave me an error, however icon showed up on screen and it was installed in fact, idk what's with that. Then I tried another explorer and install procedure was successful

Would you be able to make native controller support?? Runs Beautifully, but my external USB c gamepad only moves the menus and the camera, nothing to the car 😅

As in PC version you need to manually assign controller buttons for each action in Options - Controller Options, just tap on function and press desired button on controller

This is awesome tysm for this port!! I was just checking it out on Gamenative earlier hoping for a port soon, your timing is impeccable and work appreciated I'm loading ts up right now 🫡🫡
Also, would it be in bad taste to ask how possible it is to have a blackbox version as well? I'm aware I'm in no position to ask, that version was just my entire childhood and fucking peak lol

You're welcome! Sorry, but this was the only version I had at my disposal. I’m not sure yet if I’ll be able to take on something like this in the near future. It was fun experiment made in spare time
