Starship - Android Port

This is an Android port of Starship, a PC port of Star Fox 64. Some of the original readme from the PC version is below.

Story Time

I love that the HarbourMasters Ship of Harkinian projects, but they are inconsistent with their platform releases, some get Switch releases, some get Android releases, some get one, or neither. Starship doesn't have an Android release, so I decided to tackle porting it myself, using the Waterdish Android ports as a sort of guide. Only partway through this project, I learned about the izzy2lost Android port, which is much more optimized than mine, but I wanted to finish the project anyway. So, if you want to actually play the game from start to finish, I think their build is a better experience. But I did what I set out to do, and if someone wants to download this APK

Running on Android

1. Download or build the APK - Get the latest APK from releases or build it yourself
2. Install the APK on your Android device
3. Generate O2R files - You'll need to provide your own Star Fox 64 ROM (US 1.0 or 1.1) to generate the required starship.o2r asset file
4. Run the app - On first launch, the app will guide you through setup

This is built for android consoles, the touch screen controls were crashing the app, so I disabled them. If you need them, use the izzy2lost Android port.

If you're having any trouble after reading through this README, feel free ask for help in the Starship Support text channels. Please keep in mind that we do not condone piracy.

Quick Start

Starship does not include any copyrighted assets. You are required to provide a supported copy of the game.

1. Verify your ROM dump

The supported ROMs are US 1.0 and US 1.1 Rev A versions. You can verify you have dumped a supported copy of the game by using the SHA-1 File Checksum Online at https://www.romhacking.net/hash/.

• The SHA-1 hash for a US 1.0 ROM is D8B1088520F7C5F81433292A9258C1184AFA1457.
• The SHA-1 hash for a US 1.1 ROM is 09F0D105F476B00EFA5303A3EBC42E60A7753B7A.

Starship also supports voice language replacement use from both EU (Lylat) and JP (Japanese) when used in conjunction with an US ROM.

Note: JP and EU versions of the game are not supported for the base asset O2R creation, a US ROM must be used for it, and you can only use one voice language replacement at a time (Either EU or JP).

2. Verify your ROM is in .z64 format

Your ROM needs to be in .z64 format. If it's in .n64 format, use the following to convert it to a .z64: https://hack64.net/tools/swapper.php
