NXEngine for Android

I've had this sitting around on my harddrive for a while and a youtube commenter thought I should post this here. I have compiled NXEngine for android, specifically the xperia play. (It is impossible to play without the xperia play's physical controls, nor would touch controls work well).

I have abandoned it due to 2 errors which I cannot seem to fix. Firstly, certain signs/textboxes such as the signpost next to the save room in Mimiga village cause the app to crash. Secondly, the audio is extremely painful which is why it is turned down in the video. If anyone wants to try it, here is the APK: http://db.tt/KYl38Rs5
Then put the nxengine folder within this zip file into /sdcard/data: http://db.tt/6nKdu9Za
If anyone wants to work on it, here is the most recent working version of the source: http://db.tt/tjbPEpAX

 

I have a feeling Pixel may yell at you. But good job.

 

How did you compile this? Java is not C++.

I would love it if you could give us the C++ to Java converter you wrote and used. Surely that program must do lots of special things to turn C++ graphics calls to Java Android SDK graphics calls.

Obviously a converter like the one you made wouldn't be illegal. The legality of NXEngine as a whole is questionable since it is basically almost exactly the same as CS. Even so, much the same could be said for CSEngine, except that CSEngine doesn't really violate anything because it was built to be a modified superset of Cave Story, and not the exact same game.

I was never going to upload it to any app store anyway for fear of DMCA nonsense

The android-ndk compiles C/++ code into native libraries for specific architectures. I used the official android port of SDL 1.3 and the ports of neccessary related libraries found here: https://github.com/p...oid/project/jni

 

Does that imply that Google lied to me?

NXEngine AE was compiled using the crystax-ndk (Google's ndk with better C++ support): http://www.crystax.net/de/android/ndk/7#download
I believe Google's ndk r8+ should compile nxengine without the need for crystax

 

Help is this normal?

 

Does this answer your question?

Also, I don't think there will be a fix for whatever this is.

you'll never learn, will you?

I think this is Pixel getting revenge for you using the NXEngine. EVEN THE GAME IS SAYING "NO"!

On another note : If you wanna play Cave Story on mobile instead of trying to port the original game (which almost never goes well on any system so don't feel bad about not being able to fix some bugs). Just use PPSSPP and the PSP version of the game. It works flawlessly even on my crappy alcatel.
