About

Hunters Recomp is a native Android port of the Metroid Prime Hunters static recompilation, built on the ndsrecomp framework and adapted for the AYN Thor's dual-screen handheld. It is not an emulator frontend: the game's ARM9/ARM7 code is statically recompiled to native arm64. The project's code is licensed under GPL-3.0.

Getting started

Supply your own dump of your own USA revision 0 cartridge, which the app checks by hash and rejects if it is the wrong region or revision. Install the APK from Releases, tap LOCATE ROM, pick your dump, adjust settings if you like, and press PLAY.

Known issues & limitations

At 4x internal resolution, the CPU waits on the GPU each frame and audio can crackle.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (Android version).

You need an AYN Thor or another arm64 Android 11+ dual-screen device; only the Thor has been tested.
You must provide your own dump of Metroid Prime Hunters, USA revision 0, 64 MiB, with the specified SHA-1.

Features

HD rendering supports up to 4x internal resolution and xBR texture upscaling.
RetroAchievements support includes login, hardcore mode, unlock pop-ups, an achievements browser, and an optional bottom-screen strip.
Hold SELECT to fast-forward cinematics; START skips FMVs.

How to install

Install the APK from Releases.
Adjust settings if desired, then press PLAY.

Controls

Left stick moves.
Right stick aims.
R3 activates the scan visor.
The bottom touchscreen acts as the DS stylus.

Summarised from the project's README.

Additional notes

Tested hardware: Only the AYN Thor is tested, though other arm64 Android 11+ dual-screen devices are listed as possible.
Retroachievements: The USA rev 0 cartridge is reported as unknown by RetroAchievements, so an opt-in, off-by-default switch reports the linked rev 1 hash instead.
Performance: The README reports 58-59 fps on the developer's reference Thor unit.
