# Naruto: The Broken Bond — an Android ARM64 port of the Xbox 360 recompilation

> An experimental Android ARM64 port adapts the existing static recompilation of the Xbox 360 game Naruto: The Broken Bond, compiling translated PowerPC code with ReXGlue and bringing its runtime, Vulkan renderer and touch input to Android. The author reports that the original intro, menus and a training fight render on an OPPO A58 at about 1 FPS.
