Hunters Recomp v0.3.0 — upstream v0.6.x engine, ROM picker

⚠️ Known regressions on device (black cutscene, softer image than v0.2.2) — use v0.2.2 until v0.3.1. Engine merge of upstream v0.6.x + ROM picker; being fixed.

Hunters Recomp v0.2.3 — recommended

The v0.2.2 golden engine (the sharp HD build) combined with the newer app shell:

• First-run ROM setup: ROM-status banner + LOCATE ROM picker with SHA-1 verification (no more black screen without a ROM)
• Version badge and a tappable make sure you're running the latest version link to this page
• Same rendering as v0.2.2: GLES compute renderer, up to 4x internal resolution, xBR texture upscaling, full dual-screen

Engine source: aabrole/ndsrecomp v022-golden. v0.3.0 (upstream v0.6.x merge) remains pre-release until its rendering regressions are fixed.

Requires your own USA rev 0 dump (SHA-1 90164d1ac127ee5f9815ea4ae7de798c7b5fc629); no game data distributed.

Hunters Recomp v0.2.2

• In-game saves now persist (cartridge flash written to mph.sav next to your ROM). v0.2.0/0.2.1 silently discarded saves; update.
• Top screen now fills the entire main display in the HD compute renderer (no letterbox).
• Same ROM requirement as before (own AMHE-0 dump).

Hunters Recomp v0.2.1

Fixes from first on-device feedback:

• Bottom screen now re-attaches when returning to the app (hardware shortcuts or focus loss no longer permanently close the second display)
• The app now creates its data folder on first open, so copying mph.nds in works before ever pressing PLAY
• Launcher icon refresh (octolith art at all densities)

Install as in v0.2.0; same ROM requirement (own dump, AMHE-0, SHA-1 90164d1ac127ee5f9815ea4ae7de798c7b5fc629).

Hunters Recomp v0.2.0 — first AYN Thor release

Hunters Recomp v0.2.0

The first Android port of the Metroid Prime Hunters recompilation, built for the AYN Thor.

Highlights

• True dual-screen: top screen fills the Thor's main display; the bottom screen runs on the Thor's second panel with working stylus touch
• Twin-stick Prime controls: left stick moves, right stick aims, triggers shoot (melonPrimeDS-style)
• HD rendering on-device: the compute renderer ported from desktop GL 4.3 to GLES 3.2 (Adreno 740) with up to 4x internal resolution and xBR texture upscaling
• Settings launcher: rebind every touchscreen-mapped action to physical buttons, tune aim/stylus sensitivity, choose video quality
• Hold SELECT to fast-forward through cinematics

Requirements

• AYN Thor (arm64, Android 11+; other dual-screen devices untested)
• Your own dump of Metroid Prime Hunters USA rev 0 (AMHE) — SHA-1 90164d1ac127ee5f9815ea4ae7de798c7b5fc629. No game data is included or distributed; the app verifies the hash and refuses anything else.

1. Install HuntersRecomp-v0.2.0-thor-arm64.apk
2. Put your dump at /sdcard/Android/data/com.thor.mph/files/mph.nds
