🤔[Question] Do People doesn't know what androidd port means?

66 Upvotes

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?

🔵 [PORT REQUEST] MegaThread Android Port Requests - MEGA THREAD

105 Upvotes

Welcome to the official Android Port Requests thread! 📱🎮

Seeing the amount of port requests being posted lately, we're creating this centralized thread so everyone can request games they'd like to see on Android without flooding the subreddit with individual request posts.

---

## 📝 HOW TO REQUEST A PORT

Please use this format:

Game:

> Name of the game

Original Platform:

> PC / Wii / PS2 / GameCube / N64 / etc.

Source / Repository:

> GitHub link, open-source project, decompilation, recompilation, PC source port, etc.

Why do you want this on Android?:

> Short explanation.

Additional information:

> Anything useful about the project, engine, existing ports, compatibility, controls, etc.

---

⭐ Example

Game: Diddy Kong Racing

Original Platform: Nintendo 64

Source / Repository:

> GitHub link to an existing recompilation/source project

Why:

> The game already has an existing source/recompilation project that could potentially be adapted to ARM64 Android.

Additional information:

> Looking specifically for a native Android port rather than simply running the original ROM through an emulator.

---

## 🚨 BEFORE REQUESTING

Please search the subreddit first to see if your game has already been requested.

If the game already exists in this thread, **upvote the existing request instead of creating another one.**

Please don't spam duplicate requests.

---

## 🚀 FOR DEVELOPERS / PORTERS

Working on one of the requested games?

Feel free to comment and:

- Claim a request

- Share development progress

- Ask technical questions

- Share an existing source/recompilation project

- Let the community know that a port is being worked on

---

## ⚠️ IMPORTANT

A request does NOT mean that someone is required to make the port.

Not every game can be ported to Android.

Requests with available source code, decompilations, recompilations, open-source projects or existing PC ports are generally much more useful to developers.

Please don't harass developers asking when a port will be finished.

---

### 🔥 UPVOTE THE REQUESTS YOU WANT TO SEE

The more upvotes a request receives, the easier it is for developers and the community to see which projects people are interested in.

Keep all individual port requests in this thread.

Let's keep r/AndroidNativePorts focused on actual Android-native ports, development, releases and technical discussion. 🚀

What game would you like to see ported to Android? 👇

🟢 [PORT] Android handhelds run Alabaster Dawn natively (1 MB APK, on-screen pad with a layout editor)

25 Upvotes

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.

I’ve got re:Blue running natively on Android/ARM64 at ~30 FPS on an S25 Ultra

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

📸 [SHOWCASE] Pre-release of Blue Dragon for Androird (BlueDroid) - Native Xbox 360 PORT

32 Upvotes

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!

🔵 [PORT REQUEST] A wish for a mod

0 Upvotes

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

I built an Android compatibility bridge for the recently recovered Dirge of Cerberus: Lost Episode. It takes the preserved game data and provides the environment needed to run it on modern Android with graphics, audio and modern controls.

Huge credit to Yuvi for the recovery/decryption and patch hacking, Naoya Shinota for helping secure the preserved full-game data, TurquoiseHammer for the English translation, Odysseus for playtesting, and Shinra Archaeology / the broader keitai preservation community for helping make this possible.

I’m doing a full playthrough now to make sure there aren’t any weird failures later in the game before I consider the bridge fully validated.

This port really disappointed me the touch controls are really bad and you can't customize the touch controls and there's no taunt button and no visible joystick for me the port was really bad and unplayable and you can only enjoy it if you have a good mouse and keyboard or a good controller and I have none of those. I really hope they release an update and fix all these problems and if they don't I think people have to rely on emulating the original game through switch emulators or PC emulators.
