# Metroid Prime Hunters — Hunters Recomp for AYN Thor

Canonical: https://playable.wtf/games/aabrole-huntersrecomp/

Project ID: project:aabrole-huntersrecomp

A distinct Android adaptation for the AYN Thor’s dual screens.

## About this version

This fork adapts mstan’s recompilation to Android handheld hardware with twin-stick input and dual-screen presentation. It does not imply that every Android device is supported.

Native setup. Shooter.

## A two-screen handheld take on Hunters

Hunters Recomp adapts mstan’s desktop project for the AYN Thor. The main display carries the action while the second panel retains the DS touchscreen, so menus and stylus interaction do not have to compete for space with the aiming view. Twin-stick controls put movement on the left stick and aiming on the right.

Triggers fire and scan-fire, A jumps, B enters morph ball and X selects missiles. R3 switches to the scan visor, while the touchscreen still accepts stylus input. This arrangement suits players who want familiar shooter controls while keeping the game’s two-screen identity. Every action can be rebound.

## Match the ROM and start at a sensible resolution

Install the APK, choose Locate ROM and select your own USA revision-0 cartridge dump: AMHE, 64 MiB. Revision 1, other regions and trimmed dumps are rejected. The app copies and validates the ROM before play.

The creator recommends 3× internal resolution for the tested Thor configuration. Going to 4× can increase GPU waiting and audio crackle, so sharper output is not always the better handheld setting. If play stutters, briefly drop to 2× to see whether graphics load is the cause. Other ARM64 Android 11+ dual-screen devices are a target, but only the Thor is tested.

## Keep progress and treat achievements separately

Save at the ship as in the game. The save lives at Android/data/com.thor.mph/files/mph.sav and survives an update installed over the existing app. Hold Select to fast-forward cinematics or use Start to skip FMVs; those shortcuts are different from saving progress.

RetroAchievements integration has a revision mismatch: the service’s listed hash is revision 1, while this port runs revision 0. An optional switch can report the linked hash, but it is off by default and carries its own explanation. Read that choice before enabling achievements, rather than assuming signing in resolves the cartridge-version issue.
