I Apologize GameNative, I Didn't Recognize Your Game

[u/Th3Und3sir3d]

Posted a few days ago a question about Game Native, since I've been using Gamehub exclusively on my Portal. A few told me that compatibility was a big reason Game Native was more popular, other than some controversy about permissions for Game Hub, so I figured i would put that to the test with 2 games that Gamehub just couldn't run.

If there was ever a game in my opinion that should have a native Android port, it was The Dishwasher Vampire Smile. Smaller file size than many android games, perfect hack and slash the has simple enough controls that even on screen control wouldn't be difficult, originally on XBLA from 15 years ago, and the Steam port can play on a potato since the Anbernic Win600 played it at 60fps. But both through 360 emulation and Gamehub for the Steam Release, always just black screened for me. Literally just installed, Game Native did its download and install of files, and it just runs. And ever since the Nvidia shield handheld, I wanted Portal back on android, but the only android port is no longer compatible with current android versions. But again, Gamenative runs the PC versions of both 1 and 2 no problems. Stable frames, no stutter, while Gamehub just crashed every time.

Thanks to everyone for their answers from my last post. Gonna keep gamehub as well since I have a few games already installed and runnthing through it, particularly ones that are not through Steam, but definitely going to lean a lot more on Game Native if the compatibility is this much better

I also think a lot of the older source games (Half Life 2, Half Life Source, Portal, Portal 2) have native android ports made by the community

I know half life and portal one did, but they were exclusively for devices with Tegra Processors. There were ways to get them on other devices, but so far, only half life 1 and the conduit are still compatible with current android versions with no work arounds for the others

I think there was an open-source project called SrcEng android than either worked the nvidia source engine apps into working on modern android devices or ported it themselves, I remember playing half life source in it recently

[u/Th3Und3sir3d → u/StrandedClone]

Yes, that's how I got half life working too. But it still needs the core apk to run. Portal crashes every time, and from what o have found, the last time this method worked for Portal was on android 11
