this works with a non rooted device :)
alright so you need the following
1. Termux IMPORTANT: download from F-Droid because the google play store version is outdated
2. AndroniX from google play
3. RealVNC from google play
3 part 2. you might be able to use another vnc server app but i had success with RealVNC
4. i suggest that you have more than 2.5 - 3 gb of storage left
5. maybe some patience because there can be lots of waiting involved
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Install Ubuntu with Andronix
1. click on the Ubuntu button in andronix ts the 1st one the big orange rectangle with the Ubuntu logo
2. i installed 18.04 because that is what the linux build for lowres was tested with
i could type the rest of the steps to install Ubuntu but if you click on the links to the docs there is a step by step video to show you what to do
now that you have you have the desktop showing i just clicked on use default config
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install Packages
now open the terminal for me there is a button to open terminal the at bottom of the screen in the middle
type the following commands
1. apt install git
2. apt install make
3. apt-get install libsdl2-image-dev
4. apt-get install libsdl2-mixer-dev
5. apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev
now you can build lowres NX
sudo apt install git make build-essential libsdl2-dev
git clone https://github.com/timoinutilis/lowres-nx.git
cd lowres-nx/platform/Linux/
make
./output/LowResNX
you can copy and paste all 5 commands and press enter but i did them one at a time
now when you drag a .nx file around you may not see it being dragged around the screen
i dont know if there is any other way to do it but everytime i want to run a file i go to the terminal and type cd lowres-nx/platform/Linux/ and then ./output/LowResNX and then just drag the file into the LowResNX window
to write my programs i am currently using xfwrite which is just a simple text editor
xfwrite was already installed in my case
and i may not be able to hear sound but there is a bright side to this.
so what i do is i run the gfx designer and sound composer and then i copy and paste the data from disk.nx and AIDE which is an IDE for android but you can just use any text editor and then i run the .nx file in retroarch with the lowres NX core and you can hear sound

I'm using the Retroarch to run Lowres NX games on my android Phone.

I honestly SWEAR there was a Lowres NX app on Android. At the very least, Lowres coder.

@Dan how do you run the games on Retroarch?
Dan 2022-06-08 14:30
It is Retroarch plus, from the Google playstore.
I have installed the LowresNx core, and have the lowres nx files in the Downloads/LowresNx folder.
All i need to do is to start the retroarch, click on load content, to chose the Folder and the file and it is running.
