About this project
Bully NX loads the original Android native game library and adapts its runtime through a minimal Switch-side compatibility layer. It does not reimplement Bully or statically recompile the PS2 game.

Compatibility
Use Android Anniversary Edition v1.4.311 and its arm64-v8a libraries. The required data is not the PS2, Xbox 360 or unrelated mobile version. Full-memory homebrew execution is required.

Known limitations
Temporary runtime workarounds remain and cleanup/stabilization is unfinished. The maintainer also lists Xbox-style button hints. The illustrative cover here is original Bully artwork, not a screenshot proving this wrapper works.

Getting started
From your own APK copy the full assets/ directory, libc++_shared.so and libGame.so. Place them beside bully_nx.nro in /switch/bully/, renaming libGame.so to libBully.so as documented.

Launch in title-override/full-memory mode. The port creates savegames/ and config.txt; preserve them when updating and check the documented timing workaround if startup stalls.
