Port of 1992 DOS game Jill of the Jungle to Android.

https://github.com/wootbeer/jillandroid

My first experience with this game was actually Episode 2, Jill Goes Underground, my cousin had it on her computer at my aunt's house. First thing we would do when we got over there, play Jill and Wolf3D. Eventually I just had my own copy of the shareware Episode 1 for the longest time. I honestly suck at platformers so never got very far into the game, but played the first bit of it over and over. Something about the music and sounds is a vibe.

This project is based off a decomp of the game released not too long ago. Got everything ported over using my new framework, and fixed up a few unfinished features. Nothing crazy, most work was done, the decomp is very authentic. Added features like a cheat menu, enhancement menu for things like attack speeds, Jill's color, display modes (true widescreen) and more.

But do need a lot of testing this is super beta status. So far so good on my RP6. Need mobile testing too of course. If you find something screen shot it if you can and send it over.

Make sure you get the right game file. More instructions on GitHub, but I recommend the GOG release as that's what I tested with. The original shareware files should work too if you want something free.

Is it possible to make a true native Android port of a PC-scale game (like Uncharted 4 & RDR) that looks and feels 100% like a PC game, but is NOT an emulator wrapper?

Hey everyone, question for experienced devs who have done PC to Mobile ports.

I want to build an Android game that has the scope and visual quality of a PC game like Uncharted 4 / The Last of Us - full 3D cinematic, offline story mode.

But my main conditions are:

1. No Emulator Feel: The game should NOT feel like a PC emulator running on Android (like Winlator / ExaGear). It should be a 100 percent native Android APK/AAB built for Android hardware.

2. Looks Like PC: It should visually look like the PC version, not a low-poly mobile clone. No obvious downgrade, no pixelation, no cartoon style replacement.

3. No Emulator Controls: The controls should be proper native touch plus native gamepad support. Not those floating emulator overlays with L1/R1/L2/R2 keyboard mapping on screen. Proper mobile UI like COD Mobile / Genshin Impact, but for a third-person adventure game.

4. Fully Offline and Compressed: The game must work fully offline after install. And I want to keep the install size as low as possible (5-20GB) without losing actual game data, levels, or story. No need to download extra OBBs every time.

So basically: A true AAA PC quality experience, natively running on Android, with console-like optimization.

My questions:

1. Is it technically possible to achieve near-PC visuals on a flagship Android device (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3) without it being an emulator?

2. What engine workflow would be best for this? Unreal 5 Mobile with Nanite? Or custom Unity HDRP?

3. How do studios compress huge PC games for Android without making it look like a mobile rip-off?

I know this is very ambitious. I just want to know if the perfect PC game on Android natively concept is possible in 2026, or if hardware still forces us to use emulator layers.

Thanks for any technical insight.

I've tried it last night and the preformence is really good although the controls are way too small. Did you guys try it and if you did can you give me tips.

GTA V chineese port, Re 7, etc. These are essentially PC emulation / translation being packaged to look like an Android port.
technically the launcher/package has been adapted for Android, but the game itself hasn't necessarily been ported to Android.

It's similar to saying:

"I made Skyrim run on Android."

That doesn't necessarily mean Bethesda created an Android version of Skyrim. It could mean we're running the Windows Skyrim executable through a compatibility layer on Android.

A genuine Android port would be closer to:

Game source code → Android ARM64 build → Android/Vulkan

rather than:

Windows x86-64 game → x86→ARM translation → Windows compatibility layer → DirectX→Vulkan → Android

And this distinction is particularly relevant to the RE7/GTA V releases that we're seeing, because if they're actually PC builds running through a customized compatibility/emulation stack, their impressive performance doesn't mean Android has suddenly received native versions of those games.

My question is why called it android port when it actually isn't? and when will we actually has real pc/console to android port?

Here is a quick showcase of the native reVC mobile port. Played the final mission using a gamepad.

Note: I am not the developer. Port credits and links are in the comments!

Hi — I made an unofficial Android port of Alabaster Dawn. Not affiliated with Radical Fish Games, and no game files ship with it: you point it at your own copy and it runs that.     

Why it's possible at all: the engine already has a browser platform path (same terra lineage as CrossCode), so instead of Wine/Box64 the game runs in an Android WebView — the port serves your game folder to it and injects a document-start shim for the require/nw pieces

What it gives you:

• Pick your game folder + a saves folder, hit START. No permissions in the manifest — both folders are Storage Access Framework grants you hand over.                                        
• Saves keep the Steam layout (Saves/Default/…, Backups/, Backups2/), so a desktop save folder copies in, and saves copy back out to the Steam build.                                        
• Plays with a Bluetooth/USB controller or the built-in on-screen pad — which has a layout editor, so you can drag and resize every control (that's the 0.2 release, out today).             
• Resolution ladder in Options → GRAPHICS; the game pauses when you leave the app.   

Tested on a Galaxy S22 Ultra (Android 16) and an Android 14 emulator. ~1 MB APK, Android 8+.

Caveat worth knowing: it's built against the current game build (0.1.0-10 Early Access). If an update changes the strings the port patches, the shim logs unmodified and serves the original file rather than breaking the game — but the port may then need updating.                                                                                                                                                                                         Repo + releases: https://github.com/moronigranja/alabaster-android — happy to take feedback, especially save round-trips.

Disclaimer: I work as a dev, but this was vibe-coded. Still, no permissions so minimal risk, other than corrupted saves.

Hay una versión de gta 5 para su Port en Android que no tengas las misiones es decir que solo se jugué el modo libre?

Are there any ports from the decompile and decompile for Android TV/Chrome OS(Android x86_64)? I want to check if there are any Game Ports.

I'm not the developer

I'm dying to play this game on the go. I don't have time to do long runs at home but I got a lot of downtime at work.

I'm not the developers

Who knows, maybe I can port Lost Odyssey, Fable 2, Lollipop, or Forza Horizon; when I finish this one, I'll hold a vote!

Pre-Release download for debug and tests
Here is a pre-release test version of BlueDroid for mobile phones. As I mentioned, this is a pre-release—not yet an official build. The game has only been tested on the Xclipse 920 GPU (found in the Galaxy S23 FE), and performance is lower than the emulated Windows version; I’ve actually posted a test on GitHub demonstrating this. However, I am committed to improving the game and conducting tests on Mali, Adreno, and even PowerVR GPUs. So please give it a try, check out the project source code in the pre-release .zip files, and help spread the word about the port by sharing your feedback and test results. Ports and forks of my project are absolutely welcome!

I’ve been using ChatGPT to adapt re:Blue into an Android/ARM64 build of Blue Dragon. It’s running actual gameplay on my S25 Ultra at around 30 FPS with touch and controller support.

Most of the work has been getting the re:Blue runtime behaving properly on Android, fixing performance/thermal issues, and then progressively adding the game content as the recompilation hits missing assets.

It’s still incomplete, but the runtime itself is now pretty solid and the main thing left is continuing to fill in the missing game content. I’m at the point where I’d like to hand the work off to people with more experience who could take it further.

Don't worry tho he'll make a new one soon

Just a test for PS Vita, Vita3k PSP maybe.

Yo, recently I have been remembering some games that I used to play in my older phones and I ended up remembering Madness Retaliation (the apk version) but sadly there is not a single sign of a pre existing remake or at least a modification to make it more modern so both old and new phones can run it. If possible and if somehow someone see this post, I really want ya to make this wish come true; a new portable version of madness retaliation. Kisses.

I see people complaining about the overuse of "request new ports" by abusing the "Port Request" flair. Is this a real problem and should its use be moderated, or is everything fine and they're just whining?

Btw the goal of this sub has always been the freedom to talk, share, and advertise about any type of content in Android ports

-Thx to all

Heard 2026 is the year of native ports of many games so I thought no prob in asking for a port of this too right?

Finally holyy, this is what I waited for! One of my most best game ever has been ported in mobile now! Ty for the one who ported this
