To set up a game, open its project link, check the supported Android version and graphics requirements, then install its Android package or follow its source-build instructions. Supply the original game data requested by that project. A listed Android target does not guarantee compatibility with every phone; status and project notes describe the current limitations.

Android recomp FAQ
Which recompiled games run on Android?
The current data lists 12 games with an Android target. The table includes the Android projects behind each game, their kind, status and update dates; some require a source build rather than a downloadable APK.
Are Android source ports the same as emulators?
No. Static recompilations translate game code ahead of time, while decompilation-based ports rebuild reconstructed source and engine reimplementations replace the engine. Check each project’s instructions and device requirements; an Android build can still be experimental.
Do I need my own original game, ROM or BIOS?
You need your own legally obtained original game data in the format each project requires. Recompedia provides no ROMs, BIOS files or retail assets. A BIOS is not a blanket requirement for these native ports; follow the individual project’s setup instructions.
