This is interesting. Running the switch port of SDV on an Android device.
You probably already know this since you are patching your own switch ROMs, but maybe XNB type mods could work.
If you can get smapi to run, you're in the clear.

What's smapi?
I play using an nsp file (patched for updates) I play is suyu (reskinned yuzu)
Unless the mods are offered via the game's interface on the switch, I don't think so.
I can patch my ROM, I play in an emulator.
Well shit, maybe you can. But if you're going through all that effort already, why not just play on a steam deck and mod it there?
I don't have a steam deck, so I play on an android handheld. A steam deck was way out of my budget
If you are using android anyway I'm unsure why you don't just use the android version which can be modded.
Well, mainly comes down to preferring using a controller. That and I can justify a ripped ROM more than a ripped (and possible compromised) apk
Oh, can you not use a controller with the handheld anyway?
Understandable, I feel the same way about compromised software, it's why apart from all the open source software I use I usually pay for things or find trusted sources if for some reason I want to play something but think the company isn't worth giving money to for various reasons.
Well, I could use the touchscreen but that defeats the ourpouse of it being a handheld
Sounds like a confusing device if you can use a controller with an emulator but not 'normally'.
Oh. Controller works normally, just unsure how mobile games would work with a controller. Wow I suck at wording
Oh, thank you for explaining. Yeah, that can be a concern, I would imagine it's okay though since I can use a PS4 controller on my devices, not sure what you have but I would imagine it's similar.
I'll give it a try later though, just to see, hopefully that might bare some fruit.
I will say though that Stardew was built with controllers in mind to some degree, even on PC it has a controller mode so I don't think you would face any problems if you did ever try it out.
As for your wording, that's okay we all make mistakes or word things badly sometimes, I do it a lot myself, heh.
Yea, guess I'll stay on switch. At about 60 walnuts and 6 years (in game) not gonna reset
As for my device, its a retroid pocket 4 pro. An emualtipn handheld capable of up to ps2/GameCube/ 2d switch games
That is understandable, I do hope you find a way to mod it!
Thank you for sharing!
Well, would a PC mod work?
I mean they are not just PC mods, considering they work on the Android version too.
However, likely no. Unless you somehow find an xnb mod and get it to work, like someone else here said.
Or you can really dive into the code or something, but I'm not at experienced with that or creating mods, I just use them.
So maybe but I'm mostly siding with no.
Oki
Stardew is worth the price of entry. The solo dev whi made it is really passionate and has been updating it for years.
It's not about the price, its about me not having access to a debit or credit card
