Getting Started

Requirements

  • Android device with OpenGL ES 3.1+ (3.2 for the full geometry-shader renderer)
  • ~3 GB free storage for the unpack, plus your disc images (~2 GB)
  • The four US-release Legend of Dragoon disc images (.bin)

Install

  1. Download android-release.apk from the latest release and install it (sideloading must be allowed).
  2. First launch shows the first-time setup screen: tap Select disc images and pick your four discs. They're checked against the PVD serials, and wrong-region files are flagged.
  3. Tap Start. The engine unpacks the game data — this takes a while and happens once per install/update.
  4. Pick a campaign and play. Saves, mods, and settings carry between runs.

Where disc images can live

  • Shared folder (recommended): grant storage access via the setup-screen button, then drop images into Documents/Severed Chains/ISOs — detected automatically, no picker needed. See Shared Folders.
  • File picker: the setup screen's picker copies images into the app (into ISOs when storage access is granted).

Updating

Install the newer APK over the old one — saves, settings, mods, and unpacked data are preserved. The game re-unpacks automatically when the upstream data format version changes.
