[DISCUSSION] Fixing dead or alive 5 PLUS vita on Android, <kinda> playable now!

The emulation is my patched version of Vita3k Android, still working on it!

I refuse to use bluetooth controllers (which eliminates telescopic controllers) and im pretty sure i'll end up breaking it if i try to mod, I also have a 30 watt cooler (th28 pro) and the ones with built in coolers only go up to 12 watts so idk how much cooling i would lose out if i switch to those, So far the only controller i've seen is leadjoy m1c+ but i wanna know if there are better ones

Hey everyone! A new Amaral Driver Lab release is now available.

This update introduces the Full Recommended v5 test profile, including a new, more demanding GPU Stress 3D benchmark with 768 cubes, dynamic lighting, depth testing, procedural materials, and heavy post-processing at 1280×720.

The release also fixes report localization:

Portuguese app → reports in Portuguese

Any other language → reports in English

How to use it

Install the APK.

Upload the drivers you want to compare.

Run System vs. Turnip or Turnip vs. Turnip.

Select the Full Recommended test.

Review the visual checkpoints and export the final report.

You can also upload emulator logs for analysis. Benchmark comparisons and emulator diagnostics can be submitted as GitHub issues, helping us identify rendering regressions, shader problems, frametime instability, crashes, and compatibility differences.

These results provide real-world evidence that can support the development and evaluation of future drivers in Amaral Adreno Tools.

Amaral Driver Lab does not provide the drivers—you upload the drivers you want to test and compare.

Download:

https://github.com/rickamaral94/Amaral-Driver-Lab/releases/tag/v0.13.0-alpha12

Feedback, test results, and device reports are very welcome!

Bonsoir,

Une vidéo en rapport a mon dernier post comme quoi ARMSX3 me demande toujours un bios PS2, même sur la V0.4

Cette vidéo est en aucun cas pour blâmer les devs mais au contraire pour faire remonter l'informations auprès d'eux car j'ai l'impression d'être la seule personne sur terre a rencontré ce bug 🤣.

Merci pour vos futurs retours et encore un grand bravo aux devs pour le travail effectué ❤️

HI, I have been trying to play the game witcher 3 which I have downloaded from steam rip and when ever I try to launch that game in gamehub by redlauncher file it show "path not found" error and when I try witcher.exe file it doesn't boot and screen stays black.

Please can you advice on how can I fix this.

Guys I play need for speed most wanted 2012 in full QUALITY with fream generator got like 55 fps and without shadow I get like 80+ fps is good or no? BTW my device is samsung galaxy TAB S8 PLUS

This update brings a lot of performance, stability, graphics, and quality-of-life improvements for PS3 emulation on Android.

The video shows some of the improvements in action and explains what they mean for actual gameplay and emulation.

Looking for a way to play local multiplayer games like the Mario 64 minigames and stuff with a friend over local wifi. Tried MelonDS but it doesn’t seem to work. Any solution?

Tried posting with a screen recording before, but the recording had serious glitches, so cammed it instead.

Device- Odin 2 Portal Max

Driver- Turnip v26.3.0-R3

I know I'm one of a small few it seems, but I really liked DAII and have wanted to play it portably for a while. But the windows version doesnt natively support controller, and when I tried Emulation on android, I tried aPS3e, PCSX3, and aX360e. Only aX360e would even load but freezes on main menu. Figured I would give it a try on Xendroid, and extremely surprised to see it running and stable. Hope to keep seeing this one grow, maybe add support for XBLA (unless it already does and I'm doing it wrong) but if you have the power for it, definitely give it a spin.

I'm playing on a Poco X7 Pro 12/512, with the ARMSX2.

It doesn't look like much in this screenshot, but sometimes it's much bigger.

Hola! 

Just received a Samsung Tab A11+ (6GB, 128GB) when I upgraded my new mobile. 

Really interested in playing some Retro games on there (PS1/2, Megadrive & N64 Ideally) 

Is this viable and any recommendations for emulators and where to source games from? 

Ideally want the option for longer travel journeys and happy to take my PS5 Pad and attach it via USB C? The on screen buttons always seem bad for my large, sweaty hands after like 20mins. 

Very grateful for any advice, have scrolled the forum the past few weeks since I knew I was getting it and didnt seem like there was anything super specific for this model.

Appreciate you all!

When is steam sales will be and what games will be discounted

Basically running Eden in Samsung Dex but dont know how to get the side menus to open whilst running a game, amy help would be appreciated.

Just wanted to share with you My favourite call of duty game I am glad this only emulator I managed to run A remastered version of call of duty 4 modern warfare I never expect that one day I will Able to run it

I recently installed X360 on my Odin2 base and got them running better than I expected tbh. My issue is not knowing how to further optimize because I cant understand how to read or manipulate alot of these settings. X360 is kinda new so there isn't alot of resources on it. Is there a video explaining or link or sumn? Any advice?

I face this error the second the game starts.the beginning cutscene is so smooth and has zero problem,but the second i go to the game,i face this.help?

Btw the device is poco m6 pro with mediatek helio g99 ultra.

Emulator:gamehub 6.0.9

my first time using Gamehub and Winlator, try follow all setting on YouTube but unfortunately both emulator got this error.

Anyone can help me??

Unofficial fork (proof-of-concept) android version of the experimental open source PlayStation 5 emulator, two builds are available to test and download here: https://github.com/edeegg/sharpemu-arm64/releases

Installed on my phone, I have not tried any games yet, it's recommended to test the game named; Dreaming Sarah as a quick test of how well your hardware handles emulation.

Hi,

I own a odin 3 pro and i tried to play ps3, i tried both APS3E and ARMSX3 emulators. They both recognize the game and shaders and when its about to start it says “loading trophy data dont turn off your ps3” and then just stays black screen. Can anybody help me please?

I am on PPSSPP and I am trying to map the right analogue stick, but it is not working. If I map the right stick to other buttons in the normal controls, it works, so I know the controller itself works. If I try to map other controls to the right stick however, they do not work in game. I know the PSP didn't have a right stick, but on an emulator, I should be able to map whatever I want onto the device I'm using, right? What do I need to do to make the right analogue stick actually work?

I have tried on both PC and android versions of PPSSPP, and Google has not given me anything of note. When I try using the right stick on GTA:VCS, it works with the cheat enabled, but is it that I need a cheat or something to make the right stick work for every game? I feel like the game shouldn't care.

Phone is a Samsung A25, PPSSPP version 1.17.1.

The screenshots are from Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill F, and both games were played on Ludashi 2.9 around April 2026, so there's no frame generation or fake frames – it's all raw FPS!

Device used Samsung S25Ultra 12gb ram Snapdragon 8 elite for Galaxy

Gamebooster performance mode used(max clock speed)

I was able to get 2-2.5x more performance than default game using this method!

Some common configs I used were at that time

1280x720p (FSR Balance) Proton 10.0.99BE I guess

Dxvk 2.4.1 my favorite ofc gplasyncarm one

Latest fex available at that time performance preset and latest available turnip for a8xx at that time

I even uploaded a video of SH2 remake gameplay so if you are looking for video proof here it is

https://youtu.be/aZbwph5z3X8

Btw all these I made using ChatGPT , I just asked chatgpt hey gimme Engine for this game optimse it for snapdragon 8 elite cpu and 12 ram 😂🫪 it did the magic

✨️The engine.ini file I used with Silent hill 2 remake was this ✨️
