v0.3.0 - Android build

What's new

Android build (experimental)

SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 now runs on Android phones and tablets: the same recompiled game, drawn by the native renderer on Vulkan. On a Galaxy Z Fold 7 it holds 60 fps. You need a 64-bit ARM device with Vulkan (a recent Snapdragon is best), about 7 GB free and a controller. There are no touch controls yet.

Install it from your PC with the launcher's new Android Install tab:

• Option 1: install over USB (recommended). The tab walks you through turning on USB debugging. Then click Install to phone: the launcher copies the app and your installed game to the phone's games/WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 folder and starts it. The first time, it asks to download adb, Google's Android tool (about 7 MB). Run it again after an update: it copies only what changed and keeps the phone's saves.
• Option 2: a package to copy yourself. Create APK Package makes SvR2011.apk, SvR2011-Game.zip and a how-to. Copy both files to the phone's Download folder and install the APK. The app installs the game from the zip on its first start.

On phones the game renders at the Xbox 360's 720p. MY WWE → Options → Graphics → Resolution raises it, and anti-aliasing can be turned on there.

Fixes

• Custom entrance movies fill the big screen again, with the Superstar strip on the stage.
• The launcher's tabs no longer leave ghosts of other tabs behind.
• Linux / Steam Deck: the launcher can install updates without tar.exe, which Proton lacks.
• The in-game GRAPHICS page now has NATIVE VULKAN as a Renderer choice.

Install / update

• v0.2.0 or later: the launcher offers the update when it starts (or Play → Check for updates). Launchers before v0.3.0 can't unpack updates under Proton: on Linux / Steam Deck, update once by hand as described in the README.
• New install / v0.1.0: download SvR2011-PC-v0.3.0.zip, unzip it, run SvR2011 Launcher.exe and install from your own disc image.
• Android: install the game on your PC first, then use the launcher's Android Install tab. The APK holds no game data; the game comes from your own installed copy.
