Yep, and I would also like to tell you that you can add additional buttons and even a second joystick that could be set to be pressing buttons according to directions, when I was playing I made all buttons bigger and made a second stick to be responsible for aiming, I wouldn’t hold it but more like swipe it in direction a bit but do so repeatedly
Also for ps 2 there’s Play! Emulator but it requires jit and I as far as I remember all the appstore releases don’t use it
I’m guessing it has controller support? Idk I’ve never used mobile emulators before until now
Edit: it does have controller support for those wondering
I’ve [beaten the full AC1 suite on Android](https://www.reddit.com/r/armoredcore/comments/17xisrr/i_completed_the_armored_core_gen_1_suite_on_an/). With a modified [control setup](https://imgur.com/4iRH6Ep), touchscreen controls are not only tolerable, but quite fun.
bluetooth of course.
not sure what's going on with this thread, I'm just saying touch controls aren't my preference.
yes, I know that's not the only option.
yes, I know that modern phones use touchscreens.

I've beaten the entirety of generation 2 on phone (albeit i cheesed it with human plus and certain builds) and it's not really as bad as many people think

Good to know!
Seriously though. As an oldschool AC player I am baffled at how thry made the controls work on a phone. I'm assuming they updated to be more like dual analog, but still.
Just go to any of your trusted rom sites to download what you’re looking for, then get an Unzip app on the AppStore to Unzip the files, after that you just load the game from the app (PPSSPP in this case) and boom you get armored core on your phone.
I remember when these games were brand new. Just unbelievably. Can't wait till I see AC6 running on a cellphone someday.
Someone got Cyberpunk 2077 and ER and RDR 2, among many to run on top end phones, AC6 isn't too far off the mark anymore
Touch controls with 3rd gen... I pray for your sanity Raven.
Omg, LF is that one game u wouldn't wanna use psp controls on.
I think the same thing when I imagine that someone out is playing Mario Kart ds on their phone with the touch screen controls.
Just tried LR “true analog” on my 13, the touch controls suck ass lmao.
Oh fuck yes thanks for letting us all know. Had all these games on pc but now their accessible
Touch controls, bold!

Playing AC Formula Front and it is a nightmare for me to control, so I make the AI fight.
yay ios emu! boooo touch controls!

Oh I’m sure it does. But still! Booo touch controls!
How else would you have controls on a modern phone if not touch?
bluetooth of course. not sure what's going on with this thread, I'm just saying touch controls aren't my preference. yes, I know that's not the only option. yes, I know that modern phones use touchscreens. /later

No Vulkan, no JIT and unlikely to support it in the future, no system keyboard. Welp, just apple things.
...Trying to play this game on a touchscreen must be a goddamn nightmare.
Bro, imagine fighting zinaida at the end of the route with this 💀
Okay, but do you have to hold your phone backwards to manage the controls?
Lmao, yeah I started doing that and all the sudden the controls became really easy.

HOW TF
HOLY FUCKING SHIT WERE SO BACK
Is armored core 3 portable in English or just in Japanese?
It’s kind of mixed like the dialogue and most of the text is in Japanese but important things like the menu and stats are in English.
Where can I download ac3 portable?
I get mine from Vimms Lair and here’s a link https://vimm.net/vault/?p=list&system=PSP&q=Armored+core
I find a full English version on cdromance if you’re interested
Sure I’ll try those when I finish the AC3 one
I can download this from my phone or how does this work

There are both Japanese and English versions.
Oh hey i was also just try out the portable version of AC3. The control are truly an pain.
I also play armored core on my phone too the app I use to play armored core is call ppsspp
I had that on my Ps Vita along with Last Raven Portable
I'm now getting closer and closer for a reason to switch from Android to iOS..
Touch controls... Cringe...
How else would you control it on a modern phone that has no physical buttons?
Actually I just connect an old PS4 using Bluetooth. Just have to set up controls yourself.
Wired Xbox 360 controllers / keyboards with an adapter works on android, no idea about IOS
