Golden Sun Recompiled for Android

Based on Golden Sun Recompiled. ty. Brought to Android with my Descore framework.

Noncommercial, free forever. This app contains no Golden Sun code, ROM or assets.

Plays Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, with your party carried over from the first game to the second.

Added various rendering and quality of life features.

You will need the game files from licensed copies in order to play them.

On first launch the app will ask you to select the files. Each game is recognised whatever its file name. If it closes or errors you are not using the correct version of the file.
The first time you play each game it translates and compiles the game code on your device, into the app's storage. Depending on your device this will take 2-10 minutes per game.
After an app update this happens once more.

Controls

Auto show/hide on-screen touch controls.
Optimized for handhelds.
The controls can be remapped in-game side menu.
To access the side menu hit the menu key for touch users, or click right-stick (R3), or hit the Back button.
Fast-forward default is right-trigger, can be changed.

Android Handhelds / Retroid Devices:

Features

• Golden Sun: The Lost Age in the same app.
• Party transfer: on a new Lost Age game, "Load a Golden Sun save file?" uses the Golden Sun save in the app or a .sav file you pick.
• Seamless mode: finish Golden Sun and continue straight into The Lost Age (asked when starting a new Golden Sun game, once The Lost Age is installed).
• Saves page: export and import .sav files (GBA emulators, flash carts), undo an import, and back up both games' saves to a folder of your choice.
• Renderer choice: Auto, CPU or GPU (experimental). Auto uses the CPU for Golden Sun and the GPU for The Lost Age in Expanded view.
• Portrait mode for phones (Settings > Display > Orientation), with the controls spread out, compact under the picture, or compact at the bottom.
• Side menu for settings: view mode, scaling, filter, fast forward, frame interpolation, etc.
• Screen filters
• Save states
• Cheats menu.
• Auto show/hide on-screen touch controls with adjustable size and opacity, plus controller support with button remapping.

Unofficial Fan Port
