- Android players installing native game ports
- Worth noticing
- The site says Recompa checks each port’s SHA-256 and signature and stops installation if either check fails.
Field notes
The site says the catalog covers more than 130 ports across 15+ original platforms, with a recommended fork for each. Recompa downloads each port from its author’s GitHub repository, checks its SHA-256 and signature, then can place required game files where the port expects them; users supply a legitimate game copy. The launcher also describes background installs, rollback to earlier versions, controller-focused navigation, and linking ports installed independently.
