Armbat 0.1.2

Armbat 0.1.2 (3)

Shared storage is now one place instead of two. The guest's Java half and its native half used to disagree about the root of /sdcard, so a game that built its data path from the framework looked into an empty tree and fell back to the Google Play expansion downloader.

What changed

• /sdcard means /sdcard/armbat everywhere: Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), hard-coded /sdcard, /mnt/sdcard and /storage/emulated/0 in the archive's dex, and the kernel's path layer for native code.
• Per-app trees keep their place: /sdcard/Android/data/<package> and /sdcard/Android/obb/<package> still map to /sdcard/armbat/android/{data,obb}/<package>.
• Fixed: UE3 titles that validate unpacked data through the framework (The Gods HD checks /sdcard/CalviGames) pass the check and start their engine.
• Kernel sockets for LAN and internet, with a guest DNS resolver shim.
• Screen: fixed the display size a guest is told, added a widescreen option.
• Unity: fixed loading and touch delivery.
• GLES: added missing entry points that older engines probe before they start.
• Debug build installs beside the release one.

Armbat 0.1.0

Armbat 0.1.0 (1)

First public build of Armbat - a container that runs 32-bit ARMv7 Android apps and games on 64-bit devices that have no 32-bit ABI at all. No root, no second Android, no virtual disk.

What works

• Real bionic userland: linker, libc, libm, libdl and C++ runtime from the Android 7.0 armeabi-v7a system image.
• A32 -> ARM64 JIT on Dynarmic; the guest's Java code runs on the system ART.
• EGL/GLES on the device GPU, OpenSL ES audio, MotionEvent pass-through with multitouch, rotation.
• ELF32 loader (dlopen/dlsym, ARM relocations), Linux ARM syscall layer, JNI bridge.
• Library UI: import an APK, launch it, delete it; data, saves and OBB live under /sdcard/armbat.
