# Skate 3 Mobile: an Android ARM64 fork of Skate3Recomp

> Carries the Skate3Recomp static recompilation of the Xbox 360 Skate 3 to Android: rexglue translates the configured PowerPC guest functions, and Android Clang compiles them into ARM64 libraries linked against a compatibility runtime. Runtime hooks pass the game’s meshes, textures and shader state to a native Vulkan scene renderer, and this fork adds SDL3 input and audio, a multitouch overlay and handheld performance profiles. The author calls it an experimental developer build that is playable on the Anbernic RG406V.

## Requirements & limits

- Android 13+, ARM64 with ARMv8.2 FP16 and dot-product support, Vulkan, and about 8 GiB of free app storage. The RG406V is the verified device; the developer build has visual bugs, missing effects and device-specific problems.
- Players supply an ISO dumped from their own supported USA or Europe Xbox 360 copy. The app verifies it by SHA-256 and installs Title Update 3, downloaded by default from a third-party title-update site or selected manually. Source builds require extracted default.xex, EAWebKit XEX and Title Update 3.
- Source builds need Android SDK 35, NDK r27c, JDK 17+, CMake, Ninja, Clang and recursive submodules, including the Android rexglue runtime fork. Optional Adreno Turnip driver packages are user supplied.
- The v2.1 release checks report eight passing automated suites, APK checks and an RG406V startup, rendering and resume test. The 60 FPS setting is a guest cap.
- The fork declares no license for its own code. The rexglue runtime fork carries a BSD-3-Clause notice, libadrenotools is BSD-2-Clause, and Electronic Arts retains rights to Skate 3.
