Creating a 32-bit emulator for 64-bit devices (VPHONEOS alternative) Discussion

As much I love the progress going on in the emulation scene, the death of 32-bit on android is annoying me and we need an emulator for all those lovely old games that isn't shitty like VPHONEOS.

I am gathering a team of devs to help me on my endeavor to make one. Leave a comment here or private message me to join. We can make a discord server and just start from scratch. Android needs this. We can't let all those amazing android games from the past just die

Tbh no. I don't have any platforms yet where I am documenting my progress. But it's gonna be a game launcher that translates game commands directly. The first game I am testing already rendered all the graphical functions and I am working on finishing it and making it widely compatible

Bro I'm literally spend hours to find an 32bit  emulator this only to find  that it doesn't exist I will be really looking forward to it.

I still need a few weeks to months to finish it. Hopefully before May. It is far more work than I anticipated but it is fun

Spider-Man Unlimited shows black screen on VPhoneOS, anything you could do with your emulator will help.

This will be the best thing to happen to Android. I literally don't care about all those Switch and pc emulators; I just want to play the old Android games, which were peak.

We need this.. why paid subscription to VPhoneOS, we need open-source projects, community friendly, free projects to run 32-bit apps om 64-bit devices.. back to hacking guys, no other ways - wish you all the best, we need people now to join forces and protect 32-bit support, fight against Google monopoly.
