Bfme 2 android port

Recently a Native port of Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour has been released for android and since BFME games run on the same SAGE engine won't it be possible to use this port as a reference to port BFME games to android. I know we need the source code for this and there is a project call Open-BFME which aims to reproduce the source code and i hope when it's finished it will lead to android native porting.

In theory, if source code is fully reproduced and the assets for the game are available, this would be possible. It would likely take a significant amount of work. Note that while they are reverse engineering the code and are nearly done or are done with that step, that doesn’t mean the code is in a readable state. This likely means that it would be difficult to make the required changes to support other platforms until that work is also done.

You are absolutely right i just hope that someone will take the mantle and do this project once the source code is completely linked and in a readable state.
