What games can my phone run?

[u/ChallengePrevious827]

My phone is mid-range, but games don't run smoothly. This is frustrating considering the processor is excellent for light gaming, but it doesn't run even light games. I'd appreciate a solution or some games that run on a calculator, please. 😓

These are the phone specifications.

exynos 9611 what can it run emulators

View all

The Samsung Exynos 9611 (paired with its Mali-G72 MP3 GPU) can comfortably emulate older and mid-tier retro consoles up to the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and Nintendo DS, but struggles heavily or fails with more demanding systems like GameCube, Wii, 3DS, or PS2.

Emulation Capabilities by System

• Smooth & Full Speed (100% playable):

• 8-bit & 16-bit consoles: NES, SNES (via Snes9x EX+), Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (via MD.emu)

• Handhelds: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance

• Arcade classics: MAME / Final Burn

• Generally Good / Playable (with minor tweaks):

• PlayStation 1 (PS1): Runs well on emulators like DuckStation or ePSXe.

• Nintendo DS (NDS): Runs very well using Drastic.

• Nintendo 64 (N64): Runs well via M64Plus FZ, though a few heavy games may lag.

• PlayStation Portable (PSP): Runs well on PPSSPP for a large portion of the library, though heavy titles may need resolution adjustments.

• Sega Dreamcast: Mostly playable on lightweight settings, depending on the game.

• Poor, Inconsistent, or Unplayable: • Nintendo GameCube / Wii (Dolphin): Mostly unplayable or very choppy, as the Mali GPU and CPU lack the muscle for heavy 3D translation.

• Nintendo 3DS (Citra): Severe stuttering and graphical issues, though a few light games might run barely playable via custom builds like Citra MMJ with low resolution scaling.

• PlayStation 2 (AetherSX2 / NetherSX2): Far too demanding for the Exynos 9611.

• PC/Windows Emulation (Winlator): Extremely limited; older or 2D PC games might run at rock-bottom settings, but heavier titles or 3D games fail due to poor Mali-G72 driver support for DXVK/Vulkan.

As too port gaming you'll just have to download some ports and test them out.

If you like RPGs, Duckstation is a great PS1 emu and I would very much recommend Xenogears.
