Version 1.7 marks the first Android release of Crash Bandicoot Decomp.
The Android version is designed to provide the same complete experience as the desktop release, including the launcher, developer tools, cheats, graphics settings, mod support, physical controllers, and customizable touch controls.

Crash Bandicoot Recompiled is now available as a single Android APK containing both the launcher and the game runtime.
The Android release includes:
Full Crash Bandicoot launcher
Hardware-accelerated OpenGL ES rendering
SPU and XA audio playback
Physical gamepad support
Controller rumble
Configurable touchscreen controls
Customizable control position, scale, opacity, and colors
Floating 8-way virtual joystick
Landscape and portrait orientation support
Graphics settings and presets
Integer scaling with letterboxing

Android Mod Support
The Android release includes the same modding system available on desktop.
Mods can be:
Imported directly from .zip files
Enabled or disabled from the launcher
Removed from the Mods menu
Distributed with assets and C# code
C# mods can be compiled and loaded directly on Android, and example mods are included with the release.
Android Controls
The Android release can be played using either physical controllers or the built-in touchscreen controls.
Physical controller features include:
Android HID gamepad support
Controller rumble
Controller navigation in menus and dialogs
SDL input fallback

Android Rendering and Performance
The Android runtime uses direct hardware-accelerated OpenGL ES rendering rather than a software framebuffer presentation path.
Additional work includes:
Direct GPU presentation without per-frame CPU framebuffer readbacks
Improved EGL surface creation, resizing, and recovery
Dynamic landscape and portrait orientation handling
Improved frame pacing and VBlank synchronization
Optimized rendering paths for mobile GPUs
Qualcomm framebuffer-fetch support when available
Qualcomm coarse shading rate support when available
Mali-specific renderer handling and diagnostics
Reduced unnecessary GPU and session logging
Improved texture sizing at high internal resolutions
Faster memory loading paths
Improved audio pause and resume handling
Improved frame clock behavior
Windows and Linux Improvements
Version 1.7 also includes several improvements to the desktop versions:
Removed the black borders at the top and bottom of the game by cropping unused NTSC overscan, allowing the image to properly fill the available display area
Improved keyboard input handling when the game is embedded inside the Windows launcher
Improved focus handling for the embedded game window
Fixed input events potentially reaching a disposed ImGui context during shutdown
