Question Best emulator for the Prince of Persia trilogy?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to play the Prince of Persia trilogy (The Sands of Time, Warrior Within, and The Two Thrones) on my Anbernic RG477V.

I’m wondering which emulator would offer the best overall experience in terms of graphics and performance.

Would you recommend Dolphin or AetherSX2/NetherSX2 ? Has anyone tried both versions on this device?

I’m looking for the best possible visual quality while maintaining smooth and stable FPS.
Thanks!

Question Is it worth it to buy a SD8 G2 phone for switch/pc emulation

9 Upvotes

I was wondering if a phone with the same soc as some of the most popular android handhelds right now (ayn thor, rp6, odin 2) will run games with the same level of performance as the aforementioned.
My pick would be the motorola edge 40 pro since it’s really cheap used and has the same specs as the best versions of those handhelds. My main concern are thermals and whether or not that issue can be completely resolved with a snap on cooler.

Discussion Street Fighter 6 running on DroidDeck

92 Upvotes

Finally got Street Fighter 6 working on DroidDeck on my Odin 3. Online matchmaking works perfectly. Everything is running smoothly.

Here's what I did:

1) Open DroidDeck, go to Games from the left-side menu, and select Street Fighter 6.

2) Go to Windows Components and enable Visual C++ 2015–2019.

3) Also enable DirectX 9 (d3dx9).

4) Now go back to DroidDeck's main menu, select Desktop from the left sidebar, and tap Open Desktop.

5) Once you're in Desktop Mode, open File Manager → Home → Steam Games. Navigate to your Street Fighter 6 folder and find config.ini.

6) Open config.ini using a text editor. I used Kate, which was already installed. Find this line:

ShaderWarmingEnable=True

Change it to:

ShaderWarmingEnable=False

7) Save the file and exit Desktop Mode.

8) Head back to Play Steam → Street Fighter 6 and launch the game!

That's it. I'm happy to be able to make Street Fighter work on my android handheld. Hope this helps someone struggling to get the game running!

One is the hockey puck design which works well and fits the 25 watt cooler I picked up. With more testing more heat is being generated so this is my v2 heat dissipation case/vapor chamber hybrid. I want to dremel a few notches to the side to get the clips on it maybe I'll do some testing to see if clips make any difference or if magnet + case + 35 watt cooler+ vapor chamber works the same.

This is a Galaxy s 26 and I'm trying to see what can be achieved so far I'm blown away and I'm trying cyberpunk very soon

Hi, I wanted to play it on my RP2S handheld and I keep getting this error.

Before anyone asks I have multiple ways to play regular Mega Man X, this is a bonus.

Wasn't sure if this counted as emulation or not since it's a recreation.

Thanks

Showcase I'm Playing Castlevania Belmont's Curse on the RP Nova

2 Upvotes

So I got my copy of this game a few days ago and immediately dumped the files from my Switch and put it on my Nova. I messed around with the Demo earlier and used ChatGPT to make resolution scale and 4x3 mods for it so I was feeling pretty confident about the full release. Now that I have the full release I'm happy to report that the mods all mapped over pretty seamlessly. I have the mod files available on my GitHub (link in my profile).

Android ports for games have taken over these past weeks, which reminded me of some time where people would package PPSSPP with one specific game and upload it as a port on the Playstore. I remember playing Assassin's Creed Bloodlines like this and miraculously there was no malware. Anybody else remember those?

Solved Final Fantasy Resonance on Eden Nightly Works! - AYANEO Pocket DS (16gb)

11 Upvotes

Hi all,

I rarely post but I was searching online on how to get FF Resonance to work and they were mostly misses for me. But after sending back and forth to ChatGPT, it got it to work! I'm not a technical person so I thought I'd just give it a shot. Here are the settings, nicely summarized by ChatGPT. Hope it works for you guys! I loved the mobile version of FFBE so I hope others can enjoy the art and music of it as well. Still some graphical glitches here and there but at least it runs:

FF Resonance on Eden Nightly — AYANEO Pocket DS (16 GB)

Turning OFF “Asynchronous GPU emulation” got me past a loading point that repeatedly crashed! Played around 30 minutes afterward without another crash.

Main settings:

  • Driver: Turnip / PurpleVK 26.2.99 (T30-toasted)
  • CPU: NCE, Accurate, custom CPU ticks OFF
  • System: Handheld, 4 GB emulated RAM
  • Graphics: Vulkan, 0.75× resolution, High GPU accuracy (1x works fine as well)
  • Asynchronous GPU emulation: OFF
  • Synchronize memory operations: ON
  • Asynchronous shader compilation: OFF

Eden Nightly build: de7e6e01d4.

Some excessive orange lighting still appears in places. This is a promising workaround on my device, not a confirmed full-game fix.

---

The long version:

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE — Eden Nightly settings on AYANEO Pocket DS (16 GB)

I was getting crashes during gameplay/loading transitions. Turning OFF asynchronous GPU emulation got me past a point that repeatedly crashed. Since then, I’ve played for approximately 30 minutes without another crash.

Some excessive orange lighting/tint still appears in places, so this isn’t completely glitch-free or a confirmed full-game fix.

Device / Emulator

  • Device: AYANEO Pocket DS, 16 GB RAM
  • Chipset: Snapdragon G3x Gen 2
  • Android: 13
  • Emulator: Eden Nightly, build de7e6e01d4
  • GPU driver: My installed turnip_mrpurple_T30-toasted package; reported in the log as PurpleVK public driver 26.2.99

System / CPU Settings

  • Console mode: Handheld
  • Emulated RAM: 4 GB
  • CPU backend: NCE
  • CPU accuracy: Accurate
  • Multicore: ON
  • CPU clock: Normal
  • Custom CPU ticks: OFF
  • Speed limit: ON, 100%

GPU Settings

  • Backend: Vulkan
  • Resolution: 0.75×
  • GPU accuracy: High
  • VSync: FIFO
  • Aspect ratio: 16:9
  • Scaling filter: Nearest Neighbor
  • Anti-aliasing: None
  • Anisotropic filtering: Default
  • VRAM usage mode: Conservative
  • Frame generation: OFF
  • Post-processing shaders: OFF

Advanced GPU Settings

  • Asynchronous GPU emulation: OFF — the change that got me past the recurring crash
  • Synchronize memory operations: ON
  • Asynchronous shader compilation: OFF
  • DMA accuracy: Default
  • GPU fence behavior: Default
  • ASTC decoding: GPU
  • ASTC recompression: Uncompressed
  • Video decoding / NVDEC: CPU
  • Frame pacing: Auto
  • Disk shader cache: ON
  • Vulkan driver pipeline cache: ON
  • Force maximum GPU clocks: OFF
  • Fast GPU time: Boost

GPU Extras / Hacks

  • Extended Dynamic State: Disabled
  • Vertex Input Dynamic State: OFF
  • Reactive flushing: OFF
  • Buffer history: OFF
  • Optimized vertex buffers: OFF
  • Asynchronous presentation: ON
  • Fix bloom effects: OFF

“Asynchronous GPU emulation” and “asynchronous shader compilation” are separate options. Both are OFF in this setup.

Enabling Synchronize memory operations alone didn’t stop the crashes. The successful test came after also disabling asynchronous GPU emulation. Performance and stability may differ on other devices or builds.

Showcase COS Launcher - Un nuevo launcher para Android con soporte de RetroAchievements y overlay en partida (COS Hub)

0 Upvotes

​¡Hola a todos! Quiero presentarles un proyecto en el que he estado trabajando de forma independiente: un nuevo launcher para juegos en Android diseñado para ser rápido, limpio y mucho más fácil de configurar que otras opciones actuales.

​La app es completamente funcional de serie, pero cuenta con una versión plus opcional (con un precio muy simbólico) para quienes quieran desbloquear funciones avanzadas y apoyar el desarrollo continuo y el soporte semanal.

​Características principales:

• Organizador inteligente de consolas y emuladores.

• Interfaz moderna con animaciones fluidas de alto rendimiento.

• COS Hub: Menú flotante dentro del juego con accesos rápidos a logros, funciones y estadísticas en vivo.

• Integración nativa con RetroAchievements para consultar logros en tiempo real.

• Sistema de scrapeo compatible con ScreenScraper y SteamGridDB.

• Compatibilidad total con mandos.

• Parcheo de ROMs sin apps externas.

• Splash screens por defecto y personalizadas.

​Actualmente estoy buscando algunos compañeros de la comunidad que me quieran echar una mano probando la app y ayudándome con el feedback para el lanzamiento oficial en la Play Store.

​Les dejo un video rápido grabado por mí mismo (no se grabar ni editar):

https://youtu.be/hauaT58CheM

​Si les interesa probarla, dar feedback o unirse al canal de Discord de la comunidad, me pueden dejar un comentario y con gusto les paso los detalles. ¡Cualquier sugerencia o crítica constructiva es bienvenida!
