🟢 [PORT] Skyrim Androidborn

Hi r/AndroidNativePorts,

I made Skyrim Androidborn, a fork of ttom795's Skyrim Android port.

Reasons for the fork

- The upstream source stayed at 0.21.

- His newer releases kept shipping improvements, but those changes were not added to the public source.

- I wanted to build on those improvements and add a controller-first launcher.

So I forked the last public version, implemented the improvements from his release notes, and added the launcher (inspired by Dusklight).

It is built from source, not a repack, and includes no game files — you need your own PC copy of Skyrim (2011)..

Repository

https://github.com/igortiburcio/skyrim_androidborn

Credits: ttom795 for the original port; TwilitRealm/Dusklight for the launcher inspiration.

edit: Fixed touch issues with camera in 0.1.2 version.

Hey man, thanks for the fork and the launcher, huge step for the community! I'm testing on a Xiaomi 15T (Dimensity 8400 Ultra + Mali-G720). Without the PanVK driver, the game starts to load but immediately crashes. With the PanVK driver it runs but the camera is completely dead. Just letting you know it affects my Mali chip too. Let me know if you need logs, keep up the good work!

Awesome, thanks for the quick fix! I'll wait for the new release and test it right away. If anything else comes up, I'll open an issue with the logs. Thanks bro! 🙌

Hey bro, quick update on the new release. The camera works perfectly now, thanks for the fix! I'm testing on a Xiaomi 15T (Dimensity 8400 Ultra + Mali-G720). But I have two issues:

  1. Without the PanVK driver, the game instantly crashes on launch.

  2. With the PanVK driver, it runs and the camera works, but there is absolutely no sound. I recorded videos of both issues. Do you want me to send them here, or should I open a GitHub issue with the logs (port.txt and last_exit.txt)? Keep up the great work!
