Bringing Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies to Portmaster Could Affect Productivity
Remember that weird, nostalgic itch to play Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies on your phone from 2011? Yeah, that’s been delisted for years due to age, incompatibility, and the usual app store cleanup. But if you’ve got a Linux handheld, your chance to relive those zombie-slaying days is finally here.
Enter Producdevity, a dev known for tools like Gamehub Lite, who is currently porting the game to Portmaster. It’s a bit of a tech-savvy project, but he’s made it surprisingly accessible. Initially, it required building the package from scratch via GitHub, which sounds daunting. But good news: he recently dropped an “Initial Test Build” that simplifies the process significantly.
Here’s the quick take:
- The Easy Way: Grab the pre-release build, drop your legally owned APK into the specified folder, and let the script do the heavy lifting.
- The Wait: It takes about 15–20 minutes to build, so grab a snack and wait it out.
- Compatibility: Primarily tested on muOS, but should work on other Portmaster-supported devices like the Anbernic XX line.
This is a win for retro handheld enthusiasts. If you have the original APK and a compatible device, it’s worth a try. Just head to Producdevity’s GitHub for the files and keep an eye out for future updates.
