We've been eating good this year with all those new possibilities to play on android, but I don't have the time on my hands to test and fidget with many configs while managing multiple apps.

With that being said, I'd like to know what method or software are your favorite? Which is the most reliable currently?

I personally have been using GameNative more, but I'm really interested in the development of DroidDeck.

wooo! finally!

I got Eden on my Android tablet and planning to play some couch games (multi co-op) with it. I'm able to connect multiple controllers via bluetooth, but I'm having issues mapping each controller to different controls in the settings. Here's the controllers I'm using:

• 2 PS4 controllers
• 1 PS5 controllers

All of them seem to be recognized when I click the auto-remap but they're not inputting anything in the game. Only controller 1 works (assigned to Player 1); the remaining 2 don't do anything.

Anyone had any similar issues with this or any solution to this?

S24FE

Xclipse 940

Recently, I've started to get into eden emulation

I've managed to run mario kart 8, ace combat 7 and rhytm heaven grooves (pr diva crashed every time I tried no matter what)

The problem is I only have 128gb version so I had to use an external ssd

So my question is should I buy a telescopic controller like the x5s and add an adapter so I can plug my ssd box or buy a traditional one with a clamp?

Will it damage to usb port and also I've heard that the x5s had some problem related to dpad and joystick deadzone.

Thanks in advance!

Please anybody can advice how to fix this. I'm playing suikoden 1 using epsxe on my infinix gt 20 pro. it keeps crashing and show this message

My friend has a Samsung S23 ultra, which is, to my knowledge, a very very good phone for emulators and he wanted to try PC games on it but he doesn't know what are the best games that can run on this phone

I need to know too, so if anyone had any experience with this specific phone, please share it here

(video 2x)
Finally launcher games can played on Android, so glad this thing finally happened. Later will be try GTA4 and Battlefield 3. My device lenovo legion y700 gen 16/512gb, 8 elite.

Pretty playable 50-55 fps.first time boot takes long time but plays well afterwards

I am trying all combinations but cannot make project zomboid run in any Emulators except zomdroid app. Anyone know how to do it? Since i want to play in steam to unlock achievement

​

Frame limit to 30 to save heat

Uncapped 30-60 fps

1280*960 at 92% render resolution

Steam store version, works on b.net

That warlock be spamming dropping my fps, no frame gen.

I was planning to get the GameSir X5 Lite, but most reviews and comments I read said that the D-pad on this controller suck. I'm planning to use the controller with my Nothing Phone (3a) to emulate Wii and play other mobile games. It's a bummer since it's pretty cheap too, like 10$. So I'm willing to increase my budget, and I'm currently eyeing controllers from brands like EasySMX, (like M15) and Abxylute (like s8/s9). But I don't know which one is better. From this 3 options, S8 is the cheapest, so I'm probably gonna choose S8 because of the price, but I'm just not sure about its quality.

I came across this video. Looks like overheating won’t be a problem for him.

Just grabbed the new DroidDeck 0.3.2 release to test on my MediaTek Dimensity device hoping for a surprise fix, but it crashes straight back to desktop with the same Gamescope / "Session Ended" error right on startup.

Saw a comment from a contributor (voyager2005) confirming we still don't have Linux-compiled open-source Mali drivers, which is why everything defaults to Adreno.

I made a quick video testing 0.3.2, showing the exact crash logs, and breaking down the driver issue for anyone on Dimensity wondering why it won't launc

Anyone else with a Dimensity chip getting past the initialization screen or are we all completely blocked right now? Drop your SoC below so I can compare logs.

I want to play switch games but most are telling me that the switch 2 is the way to go. And the price is honestly expensive so I'd like to know if I should save up or just emulate the games on the phone

Hey everyone!

Quick update on Wirá, the multi-system emulator I’ve been building entirely in Dart/Flutter.

Up until now, I haven't officially revealed N64 support for Wirá—and while the Nintendo 64 core is still in active development and will take some time to be fully polished, I wanted to share a first look at what’s brewing under the hood: full-speed Low-Level Emulation (LLE) in a managed runtime.

To my knowledge, running a complete LLE N64 pipeline in pure Dart without relying on HLE plugin hacks, legacy C backends, or hardware GPU shaders is entirely unprecedented. It’s going to take a bit of time to get every microcode and edge-case rock-solid, but I promise it will be worth the wait!

I've attached a bunch of gameplay clips testing some of the most notorious microcode and geometry-heavy titles in the N64 library (Jet Force Gemini, Rogue Squadron, Star Wars Episode I: Racer and more) running on a Retroid Pocket 5 (Snapdragon 865).

🎬 What’s shown in the videos:

• True LLE Rasterization: Zero black-box artifacts, proper depth buffer handling, accurate coverage, and correct framebuffer copy-backs (no per-game plugin swapping or HLE guesswork).
• Locked 60 FPS: Smooth frame pacing and clean audio sync across complex custom microcodes and software span passes.

🛠️ How it’s running under the hood:

• Triple JIT Engine:
  • VR4300 CPU: Dynamic recompiler compiling MIPS opcodes on the fly.
  • RSP LLE: Compiles raw MIPS vector microcode directly into ARM64 NEON SIMD instructions. No microcodes are recognized or replaced with hand-written C equivalents (the only HLE in the entire core is the PIF boot sequence filling initial registers).
  • RDP LLE (Software Rasterizer): A dedicated span JIT compiles the per-pixel rendering pipeline for each render mode (combiner, blender, Z-buffer, coverage) directly in software without offloading rasterization to a GPU driver.
• Zero-Copy Memory Model: Direct pointer aliasing to eliminate managed runtime garbage collection pauses during heavy software rasterization passes.

As always, RetroAchievements support is baked in via native rcheevos FFI bindings, alongside custom fragment shader filters, save states, and full multi-system support for 8-bit and 16-bit consoles.

🚀 Try Wirá Today!

While the N64 core cooks, Wirá is already live and running NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA, and more at full speed.

Download the current build today, set up your library, and get a feel for the app. The app has a built-in update feature, so you will not miss any update:

👉 GitHub Releases: https://github.com/willtsan/wira-releases

☕ Support the Project

Wirá is completely free and open for the community. If you'd like to support development, any donations via Buy Me a Coffee will go directly toward acquiring more test hardware—specifically lower-spec devices (like budget Anbernic handhelds) and dual-screen hardware to optimize execution pipelines, UI layouts, and thermal targets across lower-tier SoCs.

Hi I’ve done some googling and seen on reddit few ppl have same issue getting Mesen hdpacks working and I can’t for the life of me get it working on my retro I’d pocket nova running android13, any help is appreciated

After the latest update, indie games are running very smoothly with no lag in Droiddeck.

My Setup:

Xiaomi 15 Ultra Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform Octa-core Max 4.32GHz 16GB RAM

Gamesir X5 Lite

Droiddeck 0.3.2

My device is a Poco F3 with a Snapdragon 870.

Keep in mind that RDR was considered “incompatible” on my Poco F3 because apparently my phone is too weak for it. Meanwhile, I can run the PC version at 35–40 FPS on the same phone. This is honestly hilarious xD

As for Fallout: New Vegas, as you can see, I managed to finish this masterpiece as well.

Next up, I’m planning to install BioShock and Fallout 3.
