SHA256: 66dfdce049ea66d08534a2ce0d8e269d5789988a49403025990a6cb23bd4b642

APK: com.bachatas4.android v0.1.5 (versionCode 6)

v0.1.4

BachataS4 0.1.4

Critical fix

Android cannot execute host/ld-linux / host/box64 from the downloaded runtime under app private storage (error=13 Permission denied). Those binaries are now packaged as APK native libs:

• libbachata_host_loader.so
• libbachata_host_box64.so

The downloaded runtime still supplies the rest of the host glibc/X11 tree via --library-path.

Install

1. Install this APK
2. Setup → download runtime (if not already)
3. Launch game

Note

APK is larger (~+32MB) because host Box64 is embedded for executable launch.

v0.1.3

BachataS4 0.1.3

Fix

• F-Droid / GitHub fdroid APK: host loader and Box64 are taken from the downloaded runtime (host/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, host/box64) when not packaged in the APK. This fixes “libbachata_host_loader.so is missing” when launching games after setup.

Local playstore builds still prefer APK jniLibs when present.

Install note

This is the fdroid flavor: complete Setup → download runtime before launching a game.

v0.1.2

BachataS4 0.1.2

• GPUImage / AHardwareBuffer presentation hardening
• F-Droid reproducible build (fdroid flavor)

First public alpha of the Android (ARM64) frontend for shadPS4.

Downloads

APK	Runtime	Notes
playstore	Embedded in the APK	Larger download; works offline after install
github	Downloaded on first setup	Smaller APK; needs network once (from Bachata-S4-Runtimes v0.1.0)

Legal

Only use firmware, games, and content you have the right to run. Nothing of that kind is included.

Known limitations

• Early development; many titles incomplete or broken
• GitHub APK must reach GitHub Releases for the managed runtime on first launch
• Turnip drivers are installed separately after setup
