SKYRIM ON YOUR PHONE: ORIGINAL PC VERSION RECOMPILED FOR ANDROID
Skyrim (2011) statically recompiled for Android phones

ttom795's Skyrim_Android is an unofficial native Android port of the original 2011 PC release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (not Special Edition). It's a static recompilation, not an emulator: TESV.exe and the d3dx9, Bink and X3DAudio libraries are translated from x86 to ARM ahead of time, using ARM's load-acquire and store-release instructions so the game's threads can run on every core. A patched dxvk-native translates Direct3D 9 to Vulkan 1.1. It targets any arm64 phone with Vulkan 1.1 and is tested on a Retroid Pocket with an Adreno 610 GPU. The repo appeared on 25 October and had already reached version 0.20 that day, so expect early-build rough edges.
You need: Your own copy of the original 2011 PC version of Skyrim (the creator used the Steam version). An arm64 Android device with Vulkan 1.1. No game code or data is included.
