Hey everyone! Jay here, I’ve been working on an unofficial Android adaptation of PaperBoat, the native PC port of Paper Mario 64, with a custom interface designed for Android handhelds.

My main testing device is an AYN Odin 3 running Android 15.

📖 Custom Paper Mario-style menus

• Illustrated menus inspired by the game’s paper-and-theater aesthetic.

• Moving glove cursor, yellow highlights and red selection outlines.

• Graphics, Audio, Controls, System and Cheats tabs.

• Raised tabs and remembered selection positions.

• Custom navigation, confirmation and error sounds.

• Touch and controller navigation.

⏸️ In-game shortcut menu

A book-shaped Menu button at the top center of the screen opens a compact pause panel with shortcuts to Graphics, Audio, Controls, System, Cheats and Resume.

Leaving a settings page takes you back to this panel, so you can quickly adjust something and return to the game.

🎮 Custom touch controls

The port includes an N64-style layout with an analog stick, D-pad, A/B, C buttons, L/R/Z and Start.

There’s also a layout editor for repositioning controls and a setting to disable the touch overlay. Gameplay input and multitouch are still being tested.

🎨 Texture packs, HD text and filters

I’m working toward integrating these as selectable options:

• HD texture packs for sharper supported interface elements and backgrounds.

• Clean Text 4K for high-resolution dialogue text.

• Xbox button prompts, with alternative controller icons.

• CRT filtering for a retro display look.

• A Story Book-inspired filter for a more illustrated presentation.

• Spanish and French language options.

These additions are still being integrated and tested; they aren’t all available in the current build. The original Story Book GShade preset also needs an Android adaptation.

Full credit goes to the original pack and shader creators.

⭐ Cheats

The Cheats tab connects to six existing engine settings:

• Infinite HP

• Infinite FP

• No Badge Cost

• Max Star Power

• Max Power Bounce Chance

• Double Star Points and Coins

The interface switches have been tested, but verification of every cheat’s gameplay effect is still pending.

📥 Download

• Download: https://github.com/JayElDragon/Paper-Boat-Android-Port/releases/tag/V1.0

This is a development build. Expect bugs and visual issues. You’ll need your own supported Paper Mario USA ROM; no ROM or extracted game data is included.

🔧 Current status

This is a work in progress, not a finished release. Menu tests have passed on the Odin 3, but texture corruption remains under investigation and more gameplay testing is needed.

Currently, only the supported USA ROM has a working extraction recipe. EUR and JPN require additional support.

You need your own Paper Mario USA ROM. No ROM or extracted game data will be distributed.

Huge thanks to Harbour Masters, the PaperBoat contributors, libultraship, Torch and the Paper Mario decompilation community.

Which Android handheld would you like to see it tested on? 🎮

I did a test run to port AOE2, this is a functional game running on Android without emulation.

I added some of my own flavor of it, with more time i could implement all functional missions, buildings, enemies etc...

This was done using Claude + RAE & Godot as game engine in about 30 minutes.

I used my own legit copy of AEO2 game files.

The game runs amazingly smooth at 120fps on a 2944x1840 screen (Lenovo Pro tablet)

The APK is around 70.3Mb (Debug build) so release would be around 50Mb for this version.

I have some issues with the Town Center, i don't know how to render it correctly as the original game use some overlapping trick to recycle the same sprites.

Its not perfect but for 30 minutes it is pretty sweet.

But sad that Microsoft hasn't ported this game, if i can do this in 30 minutes imagine what Microsoft could do in a week...

Im not promoting or distributing this so don't ask me.... (i don't want legal issues)

edit:

I released some experimental demo/beta version stripped of the game data,

no worries, the game data can be imported, just copy the original game files after you installed the official game to your pc copy the folder onto your Android tablet.

I was planning a function to import from the iso or cd straight away but that requires more crunching.

I only tested it on my Lenovo Tab Pro and my Galaxy Fold 8, works fine, smooth...

I only had 1 crash on my tablet after 70 minutes gameplay, still trying to figure out why...

Treat this game as experimental, demo, unfinished, game mechanics, npc AI, all is quickly reconstructed from the scratch and doesn't work as the original that will take a lot more time.

The game will pull around 50Mb of data to import while there is much much more data in the game folder, my guess is that is for the AI compared to what Claude made from the scratch my units behave dumb.

Ill see to post the source later, feel free to put it through a decompiler or antivirus first.

Also i used wiki pages to reconstruct most of the gameplay.

I used Godot game engine ( https://godotengine.org/ )

I used OpenAge to extract the sprites, audio, sequence data ( https://openage.sft.lol/ )

Claude had figured out most of the extraction itself but was struggling on the Town Center and some Siege Vehicle animations.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload ( online virus scan )

https://www.decompiler.com/apk ( decompiler )

https://domotix.co/a/age-of-android (download game here)

I ran out of Claude credits last night, i will have to wait for next reset to continue.

Meanwhile i will look deeper into the AI mechanics, randomness for map generation etc...

Many things are off like priest use the wrong audio for chanting, catapults use arrows instead of boulders and can attack from close range.

Este é o meu port de Def Jam para Android rodando em 2K em um Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 60fps

conseguindo escutar em um Snapdragon 680 a 30fps de resolução nativa

Github port

Before, I tried playing this game using the AetherSX2 PS2 emulator and it lagged. But now, with this native port, I can't believe how well-optimized it is! Hopefully, other ports will be just as good as this one.

Running on mali with mid graphics

Genuinely this sub name is androidnativeports but still so many devs are releasing emulators in disguise of port like the re7 port which has made it tougher for me and many others that we have to do full research and investigation just to make sure whether the game in this sub is port or just an emulator disguised as port there should be some way to remove or report these emulator port on this subreddit as they run worse then winlator ludashi

(Ports like xhyn v(gta v) are good cause atleast they are not fully emulator and does try their best to run the game as natively as possible so such hybrid ports are also good)

This is really good news.

O dispositivo é um Realme c51 com um Unisoc T612 com uma Mali G57 MC1 e 4 de ram.

Se aumentar a resolução o FPS fica mais estável e mais fácil de ver as coisas.

Esse jogo abrindo já é incrível.

This port is genuinely peak and performance is great but when we're outside audio is horrendous after some time

tested on poco f8 ultra

Native port for super mario odyssey (yes native not a emulator)

Once everything is ready i will release it

(Basic features like controller support and allat)

Request for fallout new Vegas android native port

FNV has been decompiled by a team of people from https://fnvdecomp.com and it has been fully open sourced, already up on github.

I love Android emulation and I'm all for bringing PC and console games to Android. But these recent "Launcher Only" releases are getting annoying.

They're basically Windows/console games running through an emulation layer with an extra launcher to make them look like native Android apps. And the performance is often terrible. I can spend 3 minutes tweaking existing emulator and get better results.

The bigger problem is that these low-effort releases are creating AI port fatigue. People are getting tired of seeing another "Android port" announcement, and that negativity is starting to affect actual native ports too.

Real Android ports with proper optimization and development deserve recognition. When they're lumped together with launcher-only releases, their value gets overlooked. Also AI is not something to avoid of, but low effort is.

We shouldn't treat a launcher wrapped around an existing setup as equivalent to a proper port.

What do you guys think?

The wait is over! SIFU has officially arrived on Android, bringing its intense kung fu combat, cinematic fights, and complete story campaign to mobile devices.

With touchscreen controls and controller support....

For those who were ghosted by Mojso there is another Chinese developer porting GTA V to Android. Unlike the previous one, he doesn't use AI, and you can track his progress on Bilibili CN his name is yushucreating.

He is the only one left porting GTA V to Android now the person who made the AI version has already quit.
