 That's mostly on Google's side and I am unsure if they're working on it or
 are interested at all for use cases like ScummVM's.

 using SAF for external file access, but it's reserved for specific
 categories of apps (like antivirus apps, and such), which ScummVM does not
 fall into. Therefore, if we used that we'd risk not being able to publish
 the app on the Play Store.

 Actually, I have an idea. How about implementing a progress bar that
 appears after some seconds of loading, saying something like "Please wait,
 the game is being loaded, it can be slow", also showing what file is now
 loaded and how many files remained to be loaded? I think that be
 convenient because with this implemented, users will actually know the
 game is loading, not just the app itself is hanging.
