New versions are unlikely to be released (unless things change and the official development team takes over the Android version).Īlso, contrary to some posts in the forum that previously led me to believe that there is active development going on and community members hacking the app to keep it alive behind closed doors, to the best of my knowledge, both official and community development efforts around the Android version of HS are basically non-existent.Īs far as I can tell, the modded APK in this thread is the only version that works with all modern versions of RetroArch. So, you have heard here first, the official Play Store version is likely dead in the water. But what I can say is that, if the person in question isn't willing to merge a 3 LoC patch, I doubt that he will be willing to do what it takes to keep HS alive. I don't know if there is someone in charge for the app right now (as far I can tell, there isn't). Updating Hyperspin to comply with Android 11 requires non trivial changes, particularly around Scoped Storage. More than that, in a few months (November 1st deadline) Google will start enforcing Android 11 / API Level 30 as the minimum target for Play Store apps updates. While my version of the app is still working great, unfortunately whoever is in charge of the Play Store version ignored my emails about merging changes upstream. While this version is my own work, I couldn't do it without the information that you all made available to the community. If you know someone able to get my two lines change integrated in the official build and published to the Google Play Store, please point the person to this topic.Īcknowledgment: Many thanks to and for "hacking" their own versions of HyperSpin. It worked with all mentioned distributions, RA versions 1.9.0 to 1.9.8 You can use APK Studio to verify my changes. You can find the two lines of code that I've modified bellow. ![]() I reversed engineered the original Google Store APK using Apktool and JEB. If you have a specific use case that would benefit from this feature comment bellow and I'll see what I can do. I find that I can accomplish what I want with the default config file + settings overrides.

To anyone following my posts lately, I have been working in modifying HyperSpin so that it can run all modern versions of RetroArch. If you are a Shield owner there are ways to downgrade it back to Android 9, but for now I would encourage new users to try other frontends as neither the official beta version nor the modded APK are really up to standard (for users already that are already invested in the ecosystem, currently Android 9 and the modded APK are still working better than Android 11+ and the Beta APK). Just a heads up: The modded APK only works with Android 9 or earlier. So, for now, I'm "un-deprecating" the modded APK - at least until a new official version of HyperSpin gets published to Google Play Store. Unfortunately it looks like development has slowed down again. ![]() Update 2: The last official HyperSpin for Android Beta version can be found bellow. Having said that, the beta version is suffering from several issues (No support for SAF, no ability to launch several emulators, suffering from some instability, etc). Please use the official HyperSpin version instead. Update: As recently introduced support for newer versions of RetroArch in the official version of HyperSpin this mod is officially deprecated.
