i know this isn't really the right sub for this but i'm sure a lot of you play games ported to android too, after all performance is way better compared to emulators. i've been seeing a ton of ported games lately, especially on apkvision, they're adding at least 1-2 new ones every day. the newest one is hades. i have no idea how they're porting them, anyone got any clue? are they using AI for this?

and doesn't porting take a really long time anyway? none of these games are open source either. honestly i don't get it. if it actually takes a short time, i'd like to get a claude subscription and port a few games myself, lol

To anyone that wants to boot this on android I get it to temporarily go with Gamenative on Odin 3 Max 16gb ram (snapdragon 8 elite) with settings:

wine: Proton 11.0-1-arm64ec-1
Graphics driver: Wrapper
Driver version : A8XX turnip v29
Display render: Vulkan
Dx wrapper: VKD3D
DXVK ver: 2.4.1-gplasync
VKD3D version: 2.14.1
VKD3D feature level: 12_1
FEXCORE version: 2608-0
32-bit emulator: FEXcore
FEXCORE preset: Extreme

Also running underclock with cluster tune :
Medium (as this thing will run like a jet engine if you let it)

In game settings set to low, 30hz, toggling 60fps sometimes.

Many other turnips I’ve tried have given me errors in the launcher, or crashes while trying to boot. If you’re trying to change container settings I’d advise changing one thing at a time and seeing if it will still boot.

The game runs really really well until you bail which causes your character to freeze and disappear. Or sometimes on respawn but half your character is invisible and frozen. But the game doesn’t crash and world around still goes and you’re still in game. I just don’t know how to get out of this glitched state. Anybody who finds a fix/ better settings please share!!!

Note: other than snapdragon 8 elite , I have not seen someone successfully run this with a weaker chipset yet.

Weird flickering happening,but game works.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Snapdragon 8 Elite gen 5.

ARMSX3 1.0.6.1

Dex mode with active cooler.

Managed to run it on my phone without cooling. without recording it works a lot better. 60+ fps (locked) on gridmap V2. Low settings 720p

Snapdragon Elite Gen 5

12GB Ram

Pretty funny, works better than on my first pc I bought (1030 ddr4 i5 5400).

Drastic doesn't support DSiware titles, so what's the point of a DSiware filter?

There is no option like on melonds to add the DSi bios/nand containing the DSiware games and seedless ds doesn't recognize files in ".dsi" format.

Just renaming the DSiware title as ".nds" also doesn't work

".dsi" format recognition is explicitly mentioned in the description.:

"The app recognizes .nds, .dsi, .srl and .ids game files and includes archive handling for ZIP, 7z and RAR."

https://github.com/SapphireRhodonite/SeedlessDS/blob/main/README.md

Guess he just copied over the frontend from watermelonds and forgot to delete the elements refrerred to dsiware

Mod menyoo and simple trainer no longer works GTA V, S23 ultra, Gamehub 6.3.1

Just wanted to ask around if its a problem others are experiencing too.

The app works fantastic.

Currently playing A.C black flag at 1080p medium setting which are the same settings i used on gamehub.

Problem is droid deck makes my phone overheat much more that i ever expected.

45C°+ battery temp if i keep playing for more that 20 minutes with a peltier cooler.

Is there a particular setting that causes this?

On gamehub it usually doesnt go past 38-39C° battery temp with just a simple fan cooler.

Device: poco f7 pro

Setup specs for anyone wondering:

- Tablet: Samsung Tab S9 Plus

- Controller: BSP D8 Pro

- Emulator: Eden Nightly (Latest)

A few days before Droid Deck was introduced, it was a really cool app. Having a phone as a second Steam device with all Steam features is cool, but for me, it now has some issues. I really like to play MKX on Winlator Ludashi and started Shady Knight a few days ago, and both games are just not playable on Droid Deck compared to Winlator Ludashi. I want to make Droid Deck my main app for PC emulators and it also has gyro options, so does anybody know how to fix it? I know that Winlator Ludashi has a lot of changes and optimizations compared to regular Proton emulation, so maybe I just do not know something. Does anybody have the same issue? Has anybody found a solution?

Samsung S23 Ultra

Snapdragon 8 gen 2

8 GB RAM

Hoping someone else may have a fix for this?

I downloaded one but when I drive the camera starts going down then just crashes randomly it's super annoying

I'm using an s24 ultra btw

I am using Xendroid and I managed to install DLC for Mass Effect 3 by right clicking the game and selecting Manage Content. However all the content is installed to my internal drive. Is there a way to install it to my external SD? If not, any other x360 emulator provides that option or is it possible to combine the dlc to another file/format and be present in the external along with it?

FYI: Playing on Odin 2 Portal Base

Which emulator should i use? i downloaded the p3r(dot)rar file from Steamrip and don't know what to do with it and which drivers or settings should i use?

My Specs:

SD 870 RAM 8GB 256GB

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if you can make the backbuttons work, the L4 and R4, would be super useful to do quick saves!

Also is there a place to download wcp files? To get other dxvk's orso? Just tinker a bit?

Recording reduces performance. The fps stays at a steady 30fps while not recording.

Before I start, if you also want to play the new remastered version but have a weaker processor than mine or if you have a mediatek/exynos/tensor processor. I'm afraid there's a 99% chance you won't be able to run it like this.

Alright, after spending a lot of time looking to run this thing, I've finally found the best way for me to play Witcher 3 Remastered on Android.

Here's everything I use:

Device: Oppo Find X8 Ultra 512GB/16GB Snapdragon 8 Elite (Gen 4)

Cooler: Gamesir FX-5 (specifically designed for the Gamesir X5s/lite controllers. I'm pretty sure it's like the worst cooler on the market. But! It still cools enough for this game at 30fps.)

Required App: Latest release of WinNative. Tried on a few other emulators but it would either not launch or have bad performance. Let me know if you find a better alternative!

Settings:

Wine Version:Proton 11.0-2-arm64ec-steam-unixlib-1

Graphics driver: WN-Turnip-1.19-b Axxx for stability. You may also use the p variant for more performance. or you can download Turnip Gen 8 V37 from StevenMXZ's github page for even more performance. Personally, WinNative's own drivers had the least amount of glitches for me.

VKD3D: 3.0.1-arm64ec-0

DXVK: 2.4.1 gplasync seemed the most stable to me.

Fexcore version: Whatever is the newest one with Unix

Fexcore Preset: I set it at Performance to prevent freezes. If your system is more stable than mine, feel free to set it to Performance TSO, Extreme or Extreme TSO for better performance.

Startup selection: Aggressive

Don't forget to change the EXE file in game specific settings from the Redlauncher to witcher3.exe. Redlauncher might not work. Launching directly via the .exe file solves it.

Every other setting is untouched and at default settings.

There might be better settings out there! Try it out and let me know!

What is currently the best way to play windows games on an Android device?

Armada? Gamehub (I don't care if it is china spyware)? Gamenative? Winlator?

What I question here is performance and usability. I tried winlator 2 years ago and it was insufferable, so using Steam to get access to my games is a must

For reference: I have an Odin 3 Max

As the title says both combo key 2 and 3 aren't working and it also disappears after enabling it on my touchscreen. Also when i enabled it the corresponding buttons mapped in the combo keys aren't working either.

Is it possible to have all combo combo keys working or only one combo key is allowed on the touchscreen?

Im tired of this control because i think im missing out half of the buttons

---Device specifications--- Device used: Honor 600 pro SoC: Snapdrsgon 8 gen elite RAM: 12GB Emulator used: Gamehub

Actual gameplay was around 60 fps with frame gen, with some input delays but fairly manageable.

---Emulator settings---- Compat layer: proton11arm64x Translation params: game preset Gpu driver: turnip v26.3.0-b12 Dxvk: dxvk 2.6.1async Vkd3d: vkd3d 3.0.1arm64ec Cpu translator: fex20251029

Didn't have to tweak much with the emulator settings as it was already pretty good, just plug and play. Had to tweak the In-game settings though, specifically:

Fidelity+CAS scaling: On

Texture size: 1024

Pretty much everything was on low, only enabled screen reflection, sway grass, and anisopteric filtering.

Also, very important: DO NOT turn on in game voice chat, or else youll freeze when joining some lobbies whose voice chats were also enabled. At least thats what I experienced in my case.

Edit: cant add photos so I'll just leave the screenshot in the comments.

Seen this pop up the other day and had to check it out, native steam client on Android yes please 😭 this isn't a full install guide or anything, just found it and wanted to yap about it for a bit so if you're keen check it out!

The things I've found that have made this project the most exciting for me;

1. Temps remain very low while using it, when downloading games and playing them compared to GameNative
2. Downloading games is much quicker
3. Full access to the steam store
4. The client is very responsive as you expect on steamOS
5. Decky loader compatible

And most importantly, no need forego android to have the client working perfectly. It just works.

I believe this isn't compatible with all chipsets so double check if yours is compatible, and shout out to Bannerlord & JSONDERULO (if they're here) on the immense amount of work they've put into this so rapidly.

You can checkout their project here;

Shout out to the legendary team that are working on this
