Recompa 0.4 redesigns the Android native-port launcher for dual screens and six library styles

2026-11-04 · By Overclocked Joe
Recompa, the free open-source Android launcher that installs and verifies native game ports from their authors' GitHub releases, just got a full visual pass. Version 0.4.0 shipped November 2, 2026, and 0.4.1 followed on November 4 with sorting and portrait polish. If you are still on the 0.3.x build we wrote up earlier, this is the update to take.

Six styles and a second screen

0.4.1 polish

You can sort the library by original game name (ignoring accents and articles), recently added, recently updated or best rated. Every style now works in portrait: stacked headers, art above text on port pages, and full-screen settings that follow rotation without a restart. Showcase, Arcade and List focus and badge bugs from the redesign are cleaned up.

How to get it

Install recompa.apk from the 0.4.1 release over 0.4.0 (or jump from 0.3.x). Your ports and settings stay. Recompa still checks SHA-256 and signatures, and if recompa.app is blocked on a network it falls back to GitHub for the catalog and covers. As always, every port expects you to own the game; Overclocked never links ROMs or dumps.
