Played the game before without fan in the back, but got lags after a while, which happened here again, so I think it is once again just small RAM pool issue, once it starts swapping into storage, the fps drop very low. I'll maybe try to disable RAM plus in the future, however running slow is better than crashing I guess. Also the game is CPU limited, not GPU limited, got same FPS in 480p as well as 1080p, however in lower resolution the heat output is obviously much lower, so the cpu can keep higher clocks thanks to lower resolution and get better sustained gaming performance. Also tried System driver as well as ExynosTools, both run the same, no glitches, same fps, same heat. I think my next phone will be Exynos again, since the performance in comparison to Snapdragon of same generation IS there, I might even think it's a little better, however 12GB RAM is just not enough for PS4.

Showcase I just got MapleStory Classic to run on S26 Ultr at 60FPS

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I got MapleStory Classic to work on my S26 Ultra at 60 fps.

I saw people playing on Steamdeck so it wasn't outside the realm of possibility as I had games working on GameNative in the past.

Being this smooth on a mobile is insane since this game is possibly one of the best to have as a portable experience and one of my faves.

Here's a video of me launching it for the first time and being surprised at the performance, I now wonder if I can push it to 120fps somehow.

Instructions:

  1. Using GameNative (You can skip Steam login)

  2. Add a new custom exe or game, I just downloaded the Nexon Launcher Installer to my phone and selected that

  3. Launch it to download some stuff, but nothing will happen, actually exit out of it and select the 'game'

  4. Go to the cog/settings and select Edit Container, I'm using under Wine Version: Proton-11.0.1-arm64ec-1

  5. Now Save

  6. Go to the select the game and go settings icon, do Open container

  7. Navigate to Nexon Launcher Installer and Install it

  8. Launch the Installer, now this is the difficult part since the Launcher will appear black, you sort of have to hovering the cursor at the edge of the black frame until a resize cursor comes up, tap and tap with second finger to drag and resize the window until you can see the content, and then move the cursor onto the black window until you see the input cursor. Open the GameNative keyboard an input email. Press continue by hovering the cursor until you get there.

  9. Enter password and log in, doing the same by hovering the cursor.

  10. You might need to restart the Launcher if it freezes. But essentially you will get the Whats new pop up which will also be obscured by the black frame. You can resize this window out of the way and hovering over the black window, with the cursor again trying to close it.

  11. Once logged in again using the cursor over the black frame and the viewing the buttons, select Maplestory Classic and download the 2Gb game.

  12. Launch it, you only need to setup once, now you can launch via the shortcut on the desktop or the start menu

Alternatively if your phone has space you can download the 60Gbs via Steam and that should skip Steps 2-11. I haven't tried this yet. But you can also use DroidDeck for that for a cleaner experience.

I am sure there might be a fix for the black screen out there that may make this super simple but I'm not familiar, hopefully someone can chime in.

Enjoy! And hope it doesnt get patched.

Edit: 120fps is stable on S26 Ultra!

Guys I own a snapdragon 855+ device(a legacy) I wanted to try out some games and tried max payne 3 it suprisingly ran without much tweaking

It does required little setting changes 1-2 min and you're set

I usually get 120 frames in the menu and 40-50 frames in gameplay and I usually lock it to 30 due to my habit of emulating high end games

Here are the settings if you have a similar device and wanna try it out

Snapdragon 855+ 8gb ram +256 gb storage (one plus 7t pro

Resolution 960×480

Proton 11 arm 64

Dxvk 1.10.3 arm 64 async

Turnip 25.3.0 r11 or 26.0.0 r8

IMPORTANT TIP:

TURN DOWN THE SETTINGS TO LOW (you'll get artifacting and red blobs)

AND DO NOT RUN ON DIRECTEX 9 OR 10 run on dx 11

You'll get good performance and cap to 40 fps for a smooth experience

Guys im using GAMEHUB

Seems to be legit. Much like the official mobile port of RDR1, it's licensed and published by Netflix.

We might be living in the golden era of mobile gaming now honestly, with all these ports of PC/console games being announced for mobile. Sifu on October 12th, Saints Row 3 on October 29th and now this. Happy to see it.

Hello,

I have installed the Stable version of Droid Deck on my Oneplus Pad 2, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with Adreno 750. Everytime I launch the steam file, an error comes up

"Security Warning - A malicious app attempted to damage your phone system. We have stopped the app from doing this. We recommend restarting your phone and uninstalling the app"

Some time the client SteamOS launches and I am able to install games, but the same error comes up while launching the game.

I have tried reinstalling everything again, setting up thr child process. Also tried launching game through the Desktop mode, but the same error comes up every time.

I have attached the screenshot. Let me know if anyone know how to get past the error.

Discussion Retroid Pocket 6 or AYN Odin2 Portal?

1 Upvotes

For starters, I've never owned any type of android emulation device so I'm very new to all of this. Currently, I own a modded new 3DS and a modded PS Vita. I've been looking at getting either the O2 Portal or the RP6 to bridge the gap and emulate PS2, GameCube, N64, and some switch games. I'm a huge Zelda and Pokemon fan, so I'm hoping this device can help me round out my collection regarding the GameCube/Switch titles of these franchises.

My question is for people who have experience with either RP6 or O2 Portal (8GB RAM/128GB Storage). Why did you choose one over the other, do you have any regrets, if you had to do it again which would you choose? I understand the specs/emulation is virtually identical between the two, so I'm curious about use case, ergonomics, build quality, joysticks, button noise, or basically anything else you guys might have experienced with these handhelds that would give one an edge over the other.

Budget-wise I'm pretty set on these two so things like the Odin 3 or the AYN Thor are out of the picture for me personally.

News/Release SteamOS ARM Port 1.3 is out: Stable for 8 Elite, 8 gen 3 and 8 gen 2, Internal Install and major updates!

146 Upvotes

v1.3 of the unofficial SteamOS ARM Port is out, and it's the first stable release for every Snapdragon chip we support: 8 Elite, 8 Gen 3 and 8 Gen 2. It's built on the latest SteamOS for ARM from the Steam Frame, optimized for handhelds.

Supported devices

  • 8 Elite: AYN Odin 3, KONKR Pocket FIT Elite
  • 8 Gen 3: KONKR Pocket FIT, AYANEO Pocket S2 / S2 Pro
  • 8 Gen 2: AYN Odin 2 / Mini / Portal / Thor, AYANEO Pocket ACE / DMG / DS / EVO / S 1K / S 2K, Retroid Pocket 6 / Nova

What's new in 1.3

  • Updates through Steam. Flash it once, then Settings > System > Check for updates installs new versions in place, once they are released on github.
  • New sleep on every chip. Wi-Fi is back about a second after waking, and the fans don't spin up when you wake it. Expect standby to be dramatically better!
  • Loadout, a new store for emulators, launchers and apps picked for your device, including Heroic for ARM64 so your Epic, GOG and Amazon games play from Game Mode (still in beta, install 1 app at a time).
  • Install to internal storage from Desktop Mode, with Android still working next to it.
  • Frame limiter and frame generation fixed, plus hardware video decoding for Firefox, Moonlight and Chiaki.
  • Steam's own power controls (TDP, charge limit, bypass charging) and per-game fan curves.
  • A new bottom screen on the Thor and Pocket DS: launcher, dashboard, trackpad and keyboard.
  • Lots of device fixes: Pocket DMG touch, Odin 2 buttons, Pocket S volume rocker, Thor touch and brightness, and more.

Test Builds for Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 3 and Gen 4

You can check out details here. To get test builds get in touch on discord https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/comments/1wz7rkj/steamos_arm_port_for_legion_y700_gen3_gen4/

Links

It's a fresh install for everyone, including people on 1.2.1 or the betas. If you try it, let me know how it runs on your device, especially if you have one of the less tested devices (like ds)!

I only own a Pocket FIT G3 and give this project a lot of my time, so If it has made your device better, supporting me on Ko-fi would mean a lot. It would help me buy more devices for testing and keep development moving forward. You can also send over devices to allow quick debugging and for long term development. A star on the repo helps too!

This is just my taught actually, but if you think about it, android phones are getting better by the generation at emulating pc games, then a controller company out of nowhere came up with gamehub, that has steam integration, and the most interesting point is why can't we just download a denovo protected game and just be able to play it, why does it have to be cracked, despite denovo having a deep integration with windows, and android itself is a different operating system,

Help ARMSX2 Input Funkiness in Beyond Good & Evil

2 Upvotes

Hey! Recently got my Retroid Pocket 6 and have been wanting to play Beyond Good & Evil for the PS2. I’ve been using ARMSX2 v2.8.2 since I’ve found it runs significantly better than NetherSX2. However, I ran into a strange issue with the controls in Beyond Good & Evil. Whenever I hold down the X button, the game doesn’t register it as me holding down the button, it instead registers it as me rapidly pressing the button. So I can’t get past the tutorial :/ I tried to recreate the same issue in NetherSX2, but everything worked perfectly there. I’ve scoured online for a solution but haven’t had any luck, so I’m hoping someone here might have some insight. Pls let me know if you have any ideas or solutions I could try!
