Kanto Gear 1.1.0 — Android public test
Pre-releaseKanto Gear 1.1.0 — Android public test
Kanto Gear turns a supported Android dual-display handheld into a Gen 1
companion: the game stays on the main display while maps, party information,
battles, menus and contextual touch controls move to the second display.
This is an unofficial public test verified on an AYN Thor running Android 13.
Comparable Android dual-display devices are welcome to test it, but are not
yet claimed as verified. No ROM or game data is included.
Complete tested setup
For the complete tested Android experience, use all three matching releases:
- Gen1Recomp Android test
0.1.64-kanto.2— required host APK - Kanto Gear
1.1.0— required second-screen mod - Dramatic Shape
1.5.4-android.2— recommended Android 3D renderer
Kanto Gear can run without the Voxel fork, but that is not the full visual and
performance setup tested together on the Thor. Do not mix versions from
different release sets.
Install or update
- Install
gen1recomp-android-0.1.64-kanto.2.apkfrom the
Gen1Recomp Android test fork.
Install it over the existing test app; do not uninstall first. - Download
Kanto-Gear-Mod-1.1.0.zipand import it from the host's MODS tab. - Optionally import
DRAMATIC_SHAPE-1.5.4-android.2.zipfrom the
Voxel performance fork.
The host uses the same package ID and signing key as 1.0.0, so Android updates
preserve its app data. Exporting a save backup is still recommended for public
test software.

Known limits
- AYN Thor Android 13 remains the confirmed reference device.
- The Voxel performance fork is Android-only; PC users should use the official

manually over the existing app and import newer mod ZIPs from these repos.
Please report fork problems to the matching AverageConsumer repository, not to
the upstream projects unless the issue also reproduces on their official build.
