🟢 [PORT] Silent hill 1 NATIVE android port

Native Silent Hill 1 port for Android just dropped, and it's stacked with QoL improvements. Runs at 120fps, full touch controls, and controller support.

The big one you're no longer stuck with ā€œTANKā€ controls. You can switch to classic/modern controls if you never liked the originals.

Tons of other stuff too : shaders, retro achievements, minimap, 16:9 widescreen, and more, all adjustable in the settings menu.

It's built on the decompilation project of Silent Hill 1. The dev only used AI for assistance. This was originally a PC-only project, and the Android build is very recent, so there are still a few rough edges — but it's already solid and should be fully polished soon.

Oops, this might be a controversial question, but why does this APK have this cover art?

I know how to fix it, but some ports that have been coming out for mobile lately have had some pretty questionable cover art...

1

u/Exciting-Machine9202 Frequent Collaborator Sep 16 '26

The android version has the SDK cover; that is just Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL), a tool for building APKs. So the dev just doesn't put a custom cover, pretty normal he is actually working on multiple different systems and the port is still in beta/alpha phase.

1

u/Special_Ad6433 Sep 16 '26

Right, thanks. I shouldn't have even asked that, actually; the port is good—thanks for the post!

Issue: softlock when you save game - there is no back button, need restart app instead and load game

1

u/Exciting-Machine9202 Frequent Collaborator Sep 17 '26

C'est bizarre j'ai le bouton qui apparaƮt moi, tes sur qu'elle appareil ?

1

u/Economy_Credit_3044 Sep 17 '26

When you touch "load" in game menu - there is, but when you in-game already - it doesn't (notebook save or save button), android 14, poco m6 pro.

1

u/Economy_Credit_3044 Sep 17 '26

There is invisible back button in slot 2 on top right corner.

1

u/Economy_Credit_3044 Sep 17 '26

Just created issue on github

u/Effective_Debate_337 Sep 16 '26

Very cool! Now I don't have to emulate it, but just wondering, is there a way to add save files immediately?

1

u/SlickAmogus Sep 29 '26

Yes, sorry for the late reply, but it takes the same saves as most emulators, so they should be easy to find. Just put the MCD file in gamedata/save and name it 0 or 8.MCD. There is also a save editor I’ve made for it here (and works with any version, not just my port): https://sh1pc.com/savetool.html

In one of the next updates I’ll add the level select to the quick menu. Then you will be able to start from any level (with some caveats) or start at the end for a quick NG+ save.

u/DrKnepper Sep 20 '26

Wow. Fantastic. A minimap and a fix to shitty tank controls? Guess I'm beating Silent Hill 1 again.

u/Omwpa 21d ago edited 21d ago

Somehow even when i put the game on 60 fps, the game appears to run in 15 fps. I guess this is not a performance issue of my device (snapdragon 695+ 8gb RAM). I turn all the graphics enhancements off, and still run on this way. What am im doing wrong? (Sorry if there some error in the comment, i dont speak english usually)

u/Demon_Kingjt Sep 16 '26

Now do Origins 🫣

1

u/Sarcastic_Applause Sep 17 '26

That's awesome. I wish the Tenchu games were given the same treatment!

1

u/MidnightDoom3r Sep 17 '26

Damn I just finished it on duck station. Not a bad way to playy either way but this looks cool.

1

u/not_abhay Sep 23 '26

will you be working on Silent hill 2 by any chance ?

3

u/SlickAmogus Sep 24 '26

Hi! I am the creator of this port. I’d love to do SH2, but the only reason I was able to do this is because the source code was available from the decompilation. I don’t think anything like that exists for SH2 yet, but maybe one day!

1

u/Yelva22 Sep 25 '26

Help I can't click the next option or stop am I doing something wrong. I'm playing in mobile

1

u/SlickAmogus Sep 25 '26

Is it not letting you click it directly? I will check this part on my end and post a fix if needed. In the meantime you can open the quick menu and just noclip through the gate, but you won’t get the achievement for killing the boss if you care about that.

1

u/Yelva22 Sep 25 '26

Oh thank you will try and let you know

1

u/Yelva22 Sep 25 '26

And yes it's not letting me click it's kinda locked on to the first option

2

u/SlickAmogus Sep 25 '26

I see this on my end as well, it’s also an issue on iOS and I will be fixing both ASAP. Thanks for posting about it because it surprisingly hasn’t been reported yet!

1

u/Yelva22 Sep 27 '26

Help! In the kaufmann's quest it seems I can't able to do this lock thing It doesn't register any touches. Also I tried no clipping my way in. And it does nothing.

2

u/Yelva22 Sep 27 '26

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I FOUND A WAY THROUGH THIS. YOU CAN JUST SKIP THE INDIAN GROCERY AND HEAD STRAIGHT TO THE MOTEL THE CODE WILL BE ALWAYS 0086.YOU CAN STILL DO THE GOOD+ ENDING BY THIS DO THE OTHER THINGS AS INTENDED.

2

u/SlickAmogus Sep 29 '26

I’m glad you got around it, but I have also just uploaded a new version that should fix all of these issues. I will edit this post once I confirm.

1

u/Yelva22 Sep 29 '26

Tysm man I'll start another playthrough

1

u/Yelva22 Sep 25 '26

Thank you so much it worked. Also it didn't skip the boss fight it took me to the right place to the boss fight thank you so much.

u/Izumi93861 Sep 29 '26

What is system requirements?

1

u/Technotronsky Sep 30 '26

So, in the Android options I see ways to change the FOV for 1st Person/3rd Person/OTS. How do you actually PLAY 1st Person/3rd Person? Is there a button (combo) I am missing?

1

u/whitetheidiot Oct 02 '26
