- The Android port of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask decomp just added touch controls.

Emulation on Android has come a long way, but recent advances in native ports via decompilation offer advantages that no emulator can match. Now, an update to the unofficial port of The Legends of Zelda: Majora’s Mask has added touch screen controls, the only feature missing when compared to emulators.
This update is the culmination of the efforts of several different dev teams. The Android app, called 2ship2harkinian-Android, is an unofficial port of the open-source 2Ship2Harkinian project led by Harbour Masters 64, which is a recompilation of Majora’s Mask that runs natively on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
