0.1.3

[0.1.3 (10-17-2026)]

Fixed

• Fixed the whole game running at 3/4 speed. Driving, turning, firing and timers now run at the real N64 speed, and everything is much smoother.

0.1.2 Android

First Android build of BattleTanx: Global Assault Recompiled, based on the PC version 0.1.2 code.
You need your own copy of the game: BattleTanx: Global Assault (USA) ROM (.z64, .v64 or .n64). The app contains no game data; on first launch it asks you to pick the ROM, which is copied into the app.
Requirements

• Android 9 or newer, 64-bit (arm64) device with Vulkan.
• Tested on a Retroid Pocket 6. Other devices, especially non-Snapdragon (Mali) GPUs, are untested.
  Features
• Built-in gamepads and controllers, with the same controls and remapping as the PC version.
• On-screen touch controls: joystick or D-pad, adjustable size and opacity (Settings > Touch Controls). They hide while a gamepad is in use; touch the screen to bring them back.
• Smooth play above 30 fps (Graphics > Refresh Rate).
• Change ROM on the launcher; Install Mods through the system file picker.
  Known issues
• The arrows over enemy tanks lag slightly behind at higher refresh rates.
• Android's screen recorder breaks the picture.
• The first time an effect appears after install it can stutter once; later sessions are smooth.
• Mods are untested on Android.

This is an extreme beta build.

Don't worry changes and improvements to come as needed.
Is very bug-free thus far from what I can see.
But I am in it for the long haul unlike the ones you are worried about.
If you find any issues let me know, try to take screenshots, and I will fix.
Any issues will most likely be with rendering, but I've stomped most of them out.

You will see this space change a lot in the coming days and everything will be cleaned up.
I just wanted to get you guys something to play over the weekend, have fun.

Other platforms and Android to come.
Stay tuned for updates in the coming days over the next week or so.
