Recompa (Android launcher for native game ports)

An unofficial Android launcher that lists native game ports and installs each one from its author's GitHub, then helps set up your own game files. It includes no games itself.

Recompa (Android launcher for native game ports) is not working right now. We check it daily and will update this page when that changes.

Short answer

Recompa is an Android launcher for native game ports, made by kalasyan. It lists recompilations, decompilations and source ports, and installs each one from its author’s GitHub. It contains no games, and most ports need your own copy. Version 0.4.1 came out on 4 November 2026, and the app is in beta. We have not tested it ourselves.

What it does

Think of Recompa as a library app for ports you would otherwise have to find and update by hand. The README says it covers over 250 ports. Its public catalog had 331 listings on 4 November 2026, across source ports, decompilations and recompilations.

  • One page per game: when a game has several ports, you pick one on the same page.
  • Game files wizard: checks your ROM or data files and gets them ready.
  • Updates: update all ports at once, or go back to an earlier version.
  • Verified installs: checks each APK’s SHA-256 and signature first.
  • Handheld use: works with a controller, can be your home screen, and can use a second screen.

The catalog also includes some games packaged with an embedded emulator, so not every listing is a true native port.

How to install it

  1. On an Android 8.0 or newer device, get the APK from recompa.app or the official releases page.
  2. Allow installs from your browser or file manager.
  3. If Play Protect warns you, the README says to use More details, then Install anyway. Decide for yourself whether you are comfortable with that.
  4. Pick a port, press Install, and use Files you need on its page if it needs game files.

Recompa updates itself after that.

What to keep in mind

  • Each port has its own author, licence and quality. Recompa only points to it, and one game may have several forks.
  • The catalog itself is managed in a private repository, though the app’s code is public under GPL-3.0.
  • The open issue count looks alarming but is mostly reports. The repository had about 1,400 open issues on 5 November 2026, and compatibility reports from the app are filed there automatically.

Recompa is not affiliated with or endorsed by any game publisher. It is open source and always signed with the same key, according to its README, but we have not audited it. Download it only from the official site or repository, and supply game files you own.

We list individual Android ports separately too, such as Persona 5 Royal on Android and the nx2android tool.

FAQ

What is Recompa?

An unofficial Android launcher by kalasyan for native game ports, meaning recompilations, decompilations and source ports. You pick a game, install its port from the author's GitHub, set up your own game files, and play.

Does Recompa include games?

No. Its legal notice says it does not include, host or download games, ROMs or ISOs. Most ports still need your own copy of the game.

Why does Play Protect warn about Recompa?

The README says Play Protect distrusts new apps from outside Google Play that can install other apps, and that it found nothing specific. That is the project's own explanation. We have not audited the app, so the choice to install it is yours.

Where do the ports download from?

From GitHub. All 372 download links in the public catalog pointed to github.com on 5 November 2026. Recompa checks each APK's SHA-256 and signature before installing it.

Which devices does Recompa work on?

Android 8.0 or newer. It is made for controllers and handhelds such as the AYN Thor, and it can use a second screen. Whether a given port runs depends on that port and your device.

Is Recompa on iPhone?

No. It is an Android app, and we found no iOS version.
