Use beta 4 instead. The in-app update in this version fails to download; install beta 4 by hand once (it keeps your saves) and updates work from the game again.

Second beta of KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days for Android (AYN Thor, both screens), now built on khdays-port 0.1.4, Yokimitsuro's native PC port that this Android version follows. All the credit for the port itself goes there.

If you have beta 1, the app offers this update by itself; installing it over beta 1 keeps your game, HD files and saves.

What's new since beta 1

From upstream's 0.1.4:

  • The Stop magic is back. Days left it unfinished; the port restores it: it holds enemies still and deals the damage they took while stopped, with its panels in the camp and the moogle's shop, Magic LV and Doublecast, and multiplayer. It's on by default; Settings → General → Stop magic turns it off for the game as the DS had it.
  • Cleaner sound: channels are read smoothly between their samples instead of with the DS's hard steps, mods' sounds keep their quality, and a limiter replaces clipping.
  • Mods' scripts can read and write the game's memory.

On the Android side:

  • The new mod memory reads work on Android too (they relied on a Windows-only check).
  • The README now has a video of it running on the Thor.

Install (new players)

  1. Download khdays-358-android-0.1.4-beta2.apk below and open it on the device to install it (allow installs from your browser or file manager when Android asks).
  2. Copy your ROM onto the device: the .nds file of your own KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days cartridge, the European or the North American release.
  3. Open 358/2 Days, press Choose ROM file and pick it. It is checked and unpacked (about 400 MB of free space needed); then press Play.

Coming from a test build (not beta 1)? Those were signed with a different key: copy Android/data/com.sonofskywalker3.khdays358/files somewhere safe, uninstall the test build, install this, and copy the folder back. See beta 1's notes for the details.

HD cutscenes and menus are optional and made on a Windows PC with KH358-2-Days-PC-Setup-0.1.4-us.exe (below) from your own HD 1.5+2.5 / 2.8 copies; the steps are in README.

Reporting problems

  • Problems specific to Android or the Thor: issues here.
  • Problems that also happen in the PC port (for example the dark corridors that can flicker and show jagged shards for a frame): please report them upstream, where the shared code lives.
