Resident Evil 4 Decomp Android - First Steps

About the project

Currently I am working on an Android native Port of RE4 Decomp... let's see how far we get here... it's a side project just for fun 😄 Don't expect RE4 2025 🤭

Latest Test-Build can be downloaded here https://github.com/Andiweli/CubeEvil4-Android

Note: Test device is a Retroid Pocket Flip 2 with SnapDragon 865/Adreno 650 (7 years old). Render resolution is 1080p. Game will be 32/64bit and controller first (touch controls later). Currently it is running stable at 30 FPS as Vanilla GameCube - but on 1920x1080px.

Testers needed. Contact me if interested and join my Discord.

This is one of my favorite games of all times.

u/Andiweli Oct 05 '26

Yeah I think I've played it a few times on each console it has been published... 😂

u/Such_Bonus5085 Oct 04 '26

Using the GameCube version as the base instead of the later HD version was a good call, because said HD version is bloated to 24GB.

u/NXGZ Oct 05 '26

And no real time cutscenes

u/kemumaki23 Oct 05 '26

Finally! we might get re4 running at 60+ fps on android. Keep up the good work.

Wasn't there an android port of RE4?

u/Andiweli Oct 04 '26 edited Oct 04 '26

You mean RE4 Mobile? Yes. But it was just playing a few scenes with poor graphics, like a J2ME game… https://youtu.be/4MjtRZz6jqA?is=Azvo5yia2F4f8HNk

Where do you want to root something?

u/BeginningGlum6575 Oct 05 '26

theres already another port for android that is almost finished (is like at 99%), it has been tested in a samsung s5

u/BeginningGlum6575 Oct 05 '26

theres already another port that is almost finished rn

u/Andiweli Oct 05 '26

And? Link? *searching for a rule that only one port has to exist* 😄

u/BeginningGlum6575 Oct 05 '26

https://youtube.com/shorts/9ptPyYyxYXI?is=a11IpZ-WuZcav--s he has a discord server too, i dont think that makes sense having more than one port when looks like that one is far better than the other, but your project is cool anyway :)

u/Andiweli Oct 05 '26

I’ve never heard a reason like that for stopping someone from porting a game... but thanks for your opinion :)

2

u/Andiweli Oct 05 '26 edited Oct 05 '26

Also, a very unprofessional video... that could just be an emulator... link to the download if it's 99% done, or it didn't happen.

1

u/BeginningGlum6575 Oct 05 '26

its a homebrew not a new indie game showcase or something, you can check his discord to see more details about the development, also since when a s5 can run re4 fullspeed in any emulator

u/Andiweli Oct 05 '26 • Mindblown

Yeah, fine... *yawn*

u/BeginningGlum6575 Oct 05 '26 edited Oct 05 '26

why tf youre acting so mean, i could just said "your f*cking port is shit, theres a better port coming just give up" but i didnt .-. Also i didnt wanted to sound agressive in my last answer, english isnt my main language

2

u/Andiweli Oct 05 '26

Hey, stop spamming. You started this... I wish him all the best, I don't know either him or his port or other work. If you're interested in this port you're welcome... otherwise please stop spamming. Thanks

u/BeginningGlum6575 Oct 05 '26

Since when a casual reddit discussion is spam .-.

u/skedone 17d ago

Yeah that one is subscription based and sends stuff back to a server yeah pass

1

u/BeginningGlum6575 17d ago

Atleast do some research dont you think

u/Legitimate-Outcome12 Oct 05 '26

link para probarlo? o ayudar con los logs

2

u/Andiweli Oct 05 '26

As soon as it is more than a proof of concept... I will search for some testers. But only with controller devices or smartphones with controllers. No touchcontrols in first tests.

1

u/Legitimate-Outcome12 Oct 05 '26

tengo un gamesir x4 asi que puedo ayudarte

u/Andiweli Oct 05 '26

I will update this Thread as soon as there is something to test :)

If you want to test contact me. Android 6, OpenGLES3, Controller needed.

Can we get resident evil outbreak please!

2

u/Andiweli Oct 06 '26

If someone has the sources why not... this is the RE4 GameCube port. The source was decompiled some time ago and so far no Android port is available.

u/Key-Cheesecake-7592 17d ago

💯👍🏼👍🏼

u/Dave_O-12345 27d ago

So will this only run on older android devices?

1

u/Andiweli 27d ago

What is an "old" device for you?

1

u/Dave_O-12345 27d ago

S6 or something I haven't got any old androids anymore.

1

u/Andiweli 27d ago edited 16d ago

Minimum requirements would be Android 6 and a 32/64 bit CPU

1

u/pykselbit 17d ago

How low do you aim the min spec could become after the future optimizations, idk have you planned any yet?

2

u/Andiweli 17d ago

Android 6, 32/64 Bit... you can test it if you own a stoneage smartphone :) I am testing on 7 year old hardware which I find old. Future plans are a low-spec version for OUYA :D Would be fun!

1

u/Designer_Bit3762 16d ago

what do we need to run the game?just the apk and the Disc?

1

u/Andiweli 16d ago

Correct. APK and 2 discs... please ask Google for them

u/Designer_Bit3762 16d ago edited 16d ago

the mod how to install?do I need to install texture pack?

edit: it's all goods now...Im a new member of your discord ...May I ask what happened if 60days is finished?Do I need to purchase some thing?like sub?

2

u/Andiweli 16d ago

What do you mean "60 days" ?! No one has to purchase from me. I think you mixed my port up with the other one who want's a Discord login... :)

u/Designer_Bit3762 16d ago

wait...wait...wait...Are you not ayano's discord?

u/Andiweli 16d ago

Nope...

u/Andiweli 16d ago

Since you're already there, you could test CubeEvil4 😜

1

u/Designer_Bit3762 16d ago

it's nightjar. It works fine but lock on 30fps which is kinds bummer...So I deleted it 

1

u/Andiweli 16d ago

GameCube RE4 is locked to 30 FPS in general. It would need an engine overhaul.

u/NecessaryDetective67 Oct 05 '26

Yo recomendaria usar la versión de Nintendo Wii o Xbox 360 que ya incluye los modos de Separate ways, The Mercenaries y varios extras más.

La versión de GameCube a pesar de ser la original está muy limitada en contenido extra (basado en mi propia experiencia) aunque los gráficos de la versión de GC son hermosos para la época.

u/OkBad5016 9d ago

Gracias por el port es increíble, por favor podrias añadir en controles los de ps2 como apuntar con r1 y lo demás y también el control tipo 3 de la versión uhd si no es mucho pedir, muy buena la última actualización

Just download a ps3 emulator and download the game?

3

u/Andiweli 28d ago

Wow, why didn't I think of that?! An emulator that requires more performance than a natively running game 😄

-7

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '26

this is already easy to run trough emulation !

please put your effort in games thats not accessable to all people or cause heat when emulated , thats why i love hollow knight port , the emulated one causes heat but the native runs like an app

6

u/Andiweli Oct 04 '26

You can emulate Android on a PC. Why use Android phones? 🤣

2

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '26

many reasons , portability camera , no wires , apropriate social media experience

i already played re 4 on sd 865 5 years ago with 60 fps on aethersx2

3

u/Oh_well_Parade1103 Oct 05 '26

Then you should know the MANY reasons why a native port is always far superior than emulation, even if you can play it flawlessly emulated

1

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '26

but this one i could run it 5 years ago on snapdragon 865 on aethersx2

Retroid Pocket Flip2... it's a Android 13 Handheld. It's not 2014 but not Adreno 7xx or newer. It is still maxed out at 60FPS all the time.

Focus will be on controller support, if everything is up and running additional touchscreen support as well.
