## Requirements

- Android 8.0+ (API 26 or newer)
- ARM64 (arm64-v8a) or x86_64 device
- OpenGL ES 3.0 capable GPU
- Your own legally obtained N64 ROMs

## Building

```bash
# Build the native Mupen64Plus-Next core first
bash scripts/build_mupen64plus_next_android.sh

# Then build the APK via Gradle
./gradlew assembleRelease
```

Requires Android NDK `30.0.14904198` and CMake `3.30.3`.

## Architecture

Nin64 bridges a Kotlin/Android shell to the native libretro emulation core via JNI:

```text
Kotlin UI / Game Library
        ↓ JNI
  libretro frontend (C)
        ↓
 Mupen64Plus-Next core
  (Mupen64Plus + GLideN64)
        ↓
  EGL / GLES3 surface
```

See [docs/native-core-backends.md](docs/native-core-backends.md) for details.
