Working OpenBOR games for Android

I just thought I'd start a thread for OpenBOR paks that work on the Android port. I've tried several, and most crash.

So far, the working ones are:

Avengers United Battle Force
TMNT Rescue-Palooza though some levels (Swamp, Beach, Park, Van, and Rooftop) won't select.
Golden Axe Returns
Streets of Rage X

I haven't tried nearly all of them on here, so has anyone else been able to get others working?

Edit: I am running OpenBOR version 1.4.2 on a Samsung Galaxy S22+

This seems like a hard question to answer because of the fragmented nature of things, like different game versions users might tested, different devices they use and also the different openbor versions they might used as well.
Still worth the try, but i would suggest you to be more specific yourself about the things i mentioned above, and also expect the same from the other people who might contribute to this research.
Unfortunately all i can contribute myself on this, is that other people just told me that my games are working fine on android and i also have seen playthroughs of my MK and my WH games, but without all the specifics i mentioned and i personally don't own an android device. So yeah, that's all i can say.

@DonQuidyk Hi friend, please can you try the Android version of the SORX? I added it to the resources section, you can download here.
 
@DonQuidyk ,

since some openbor games only work correctly using certain (usually old) versions of the engine, so some of the older modules will require an older version of the android port.

there are some APK editing aplications that can even patch an older openbor apk and allow it to run on new android devices
i dont know if the github or @msmalik681 has an archive of older openbor APKs, and the current set of instructions migth not be able to allow an user to build an older version of the engine - it should be possible but not easy as far as i know.

for this very reason back in 2019 i released an APK version of the NighSlashers game, and this apk can be easlily edited using and opensource apk editor, but we would need to make a list of modules that are compatible with this engine in particular and the same has to be done for the rest of the the modules.

what i would like to do, is to get a list of the most popular or requested modules and either
A: give them each its own APK version
or
B: have a dedicated archive here or at the internet archive with the required older engine APK and its compatible game list of games that it can run

anyway, its not an easy task...
 
Most games should work across all "offical" ports but some games are made for old legacy versions of openbor with all their little quirks so they may have compatibility issues and some games were developed on desktop and there are errors that are ignored on desktop openbor but crash on ports.
