The developer who did the android ports is not active anymore I think, DC only works on the main engine version, other versions are ported by other devs.

Thank you very much for your help!
I have an Anbernic RG477M Handheld with Android 14 on it.
While I can install and run the Version 3.0 Build 6391 year 2020 from this website: ᐈ OpenBOR emulator for Android - 【 OpenBOR Games 2025 】
The Interface has been Super Wonky and doesn't work really well. Eg: Controls drift all over the place, P1 is also P2, and all sorts of wierdness.
(Versión 4.0 Build 526 Jun 5 2023 does not even install requiring all sorts of permissions that I am unable to grant no matter what)
When it does work though, it worked amazingly well.
Really look forward to seeing a proper working update this time!

Where can i download for andriod
Ok for a update on the android port. There was some updates i needed to apply to get this to compile on 7735. It works now but the paks need to be in the apps data folder and that might be difficult for some users to gain access to.
Right now as the app itself can access its own data folder so no permissions needed. I am setting up a file picker when you first launch the app you can access the downloads directory and pick any .pak files that will be copied to the data folder, I have this working but right now i want this copy to happen before openbor starts so the pak file will load right away.
This seems like a good solution for now but I dont have any good way to delete from the paks folder, uninstalling will work but that will also delete the save files and all paks.

Just added android build 7533 to the releases page please test and report to me if you have any issues. Just make sure .pak files are in your download directory ready to copy over and the selection menu will only let you copy 1 .pak per launch and if you don't want to copy anything just hit the back button for regular start. this procedure will need to be update for future but it works for now.

Thanks! Just downloaded it and will be testing it over the next few days.
For now though, i report that some games now crash where before they ran well. One such game is "Avengers United Battle Force"
Also on an Android Handheld like the RG477M, gamepad controls are not auto detected even though option say Gamepad enabled.
i will need to manually use touchscreen to navigate for each game to configure the gamepad controls. i just have to do this once per game tho.
RG477m gamepad controls don't work in Main Menu where it used to work before tho.
i'll provide more updates as I test more.
Thanks again! This is much less wonky than the version i used before.
This is not the latest release in fact i had to ignore about 19 errors to get this to compile but i guess i can test that game on the latest build once i update the android port.
Less wonky sounds good.

That game was built on 3.0, it is not compatible at all with 4.0.
I can't seem to make this clear enough. OpenBOR is NOT a console and it's not an emulator. It's an engine you build games with... same as Unity or GoDot or Unreal. You can't take a game made with an older version, slap it in a folder with 4.0 or whatever and expect it to run. It just doesn't work like that and never will.

I am the author of that game, but as DCurrent explained, it was done using OpenBOR 3.0 6391 and it will be complatible only with that build and version.
I have plans to move to 4.0 on the future, but not now.

Any individual games not working please contact the developer as you should be using the recommended build set by the developer. Backwards compatibility is not a priority.
