    How to configure your Settings_Android ini files:
    Main APK from RetroArch's website and Google Play Store Version:
    exe=com.retroarch/com.retroarch.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture RetroArch's website 32bit version:
    exe=com.retroarch.ra32/com.retroarch.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture RetroArch's website 64bit version and RetroArch Plus:
    exe=com.retroarch.aarch64/com.retroarch.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture Have fun!
    FAQ:
    Can I mix and match multiple RetroArch distributions?
    Yes, you just need to set different exe values for different systems.
    For instance, you can use the 64bit version of RA + Dolphin core for GameCube games (Nintendo GameCube.ini): exe=com.retroarch.aarch64/com.retroarch.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture parameters=cores/dolphin_libretro_android.so
    And the 32bit version of RA + MAME Core (MAME.ini): exe=com.retroarch.ra32/com.retroarch.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture parameters=cores/mame2010_libretro_android.so  
    Will it load separate configuration files for 32bit and 64bit versions?
    Yes, it will always load the default configuration file for each version.
    Default configuration files are in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/[package name]/files/retroarch.cfg
    For example:
     
    /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.retroarch.ra32/files/retroarch.cfg  
    Can I make Hyperspin launch my own custom compiled version of RetroArch?
    Yes. As long as the package name starts with com.retroarch everything should work.
    Can I configure HyperSpin to load retroarch.cfg from a custom location?
    Not for now. I find that I can accomplish what I want with the default config file + settings overrides.
    If you have a specific use case that would benefit from this feature comment bellow and I'll see what I can do.
    How was this implemented?
    I reversed engineered the original Google Store APK using Apktool and JEB.
    You can find the two lines of code that I've modified bellow. You can use APK Studio to verify my changes.

    (Tutorial) Hyperspin Android Overview & Installation
     
    Install Notes
     
    To install this Hyperspin Android base pack
     
    Step 1 - Combine the download parts
     
    Extract the "Hyperspin 1.3.3 Android PT1" (Hyperspin.zip) file
    Place the "Hyperspin 1.3.3 Android PT2" (Media.zip) file within the extracted Hyperspin folder
    Extract the "Hyperspin 1.3.3 Android PT2" (Media.zip) file and it will combine the two parts
     
    Alternativly extract both files and the cut and paste them together
     
    (Optional Addition)
    Extract the Settings_Android.zip and pick out the settings files you require as you build your setup. Place them in your Settings folder or Settings_Android folder depending on your setup Rename specific systems if needed ADD YOUR ROMPATH  

    Step 2 - READ the Setup Notes.txt
     
    Step 3 - Organise your roms
     
    Organise your roms so they are located in the suggested folder structure OR place them in a location of your
    own choice.
    MAKE sure you adjust the "SYSTEMNAME".ini files to reflect your own rompath
     
    ****Remeber rom names will need to exactly match your Hyperspin databases (.xml) and be in a format that your
    chosen emulator can open****
     
    Step 4 - Move the pack to your Android Device
     
    Once you have the complete Hyperspin folder place this at the root of your storage device connected to your android device
    (USB HDD, Internal storage, SDCard or Network drive)
     
    Step 5 - Download and configure your emulators
     
    Step 6 - Install Hyperspin Application
     
    Download and install the Hyperspin application from the Goggle Playstore

  5. Before I post this to the Google Play store, I wanted to let you guys test it first.   There are only 2 minor changes.
    1.  Properly sleeps in the background when an emulator is launched (this should help battery and potential lag)
    2.  Changed default path for retroarch.cfg to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/retroarch.cfg (was previously /data/data/com.retroarch/retroarch.cfg).   This should unify the config files (when retroarch launched standalone) and make it R/W.    Pointing to /data/data was a hspin app bug.  SORRY!

  6. A few modifications were required to make it work smoothly on Android.
    These changes don't affect the PC functionality so it should work well on both Windows and Android.
     
    -- added new 'Main Menu_Android.xml' to remove MUGEN and OpenBOR wheels. No emulators have been ported yet.
    -- added Settings_Android folder
    -- fix -- added transition video to media/frontend, Hyperspin on Android needs this
    -- fix -- added English exit images to media/frontend
    -- fix -- replace 0-length SpecialA4.swf file (caused Android Hyperspin to crash)
