Builds your own Android APK of the PC version from your own copy of Mirror's Edge from GOG. Other releases of the game do not work.

New in 0.3.1: after a build, Install on the tablet… installs the APK and copies the game files over USB or Wi-Fi debugging, so the folder no longer has to be copied by hand. The program downloads adb for this (about 8 MB). Files already on the tablet are skipped, so an interrupted copy resumes. Copying by hand still works as before. Not tested yet: the full 11.5 GB copy (a 20 MB test ran at 38 MB/s over Wi-Fi, so about 5 minutes is expected) and USB. No changes in the game itself.

In 0.3.0: about 150 MB of downloads instead of 1.3 GB, 16 GB of free disk space instead of 25, no Java or Android SDK; meant to work under Wine and Proton.

  1. Run RunnerBuilder.exe. It is not signed, so Windows may show a warning.
  2. Choose the folder of the installed game, accept the Android SDK terms and press Build.
  3. Press Install on the tablet… and follow the steps (turn on USB debugging, or wireless debugging with a pairing code). Or copy the resulting folder to the tablet and follow the instructions inside.

You need Windows x64 (or Wine/Proton), about 16 GB of free disk space and about 160 MB of downloads. The build takes from 5 to 30 minutes. The program holds no game code or files. What it produces does, so do not publish or share it.

RunnerRecompiled-shell.apk is the app without any game code, for building by hand (see pc/SELFBUILD.md). It does not run on its own; RunnerBuilder already contains it.
