🚀 Installation

  1. Install Black-1.3.0.apk on your phone.
  2. Open Black Android and allow all files access when it asks.
  3. Copy the game into /storage/emulated/0/Black: the disc image (.iso), or default.xbe with its data folders.
  4. The game starts as soon as it finds the files.

Tip

If you don't grant all files access, put the game in Android/data/com.racas.black/files/assets instead. Settings, saves, logs and the shader cache are stored in Android/data/com.racas.black/files.
