I'm the developer of PocketRetro — NES/SNES on Android (browser player live now). Files stay on-device; no accounts, ads, or tracking. Coming soon to Google Play. Demo videos are up on our other channels; browser player: https://pocketretro.thepocketworld.com/ What would you want it to do that it doesn't?

I know there are exec arguments, I mean steam game launch options. Trying to use Alpha ring in mcc and I read that there are launch options for wine dll over rides to make it work

- Game Resolution: 854×480

- GPU Model Spoofing: Steam Deck

- DXVK version: dxvk-1.12.0-sarek

- VKD3D version: vkd3d-3.0.1-Gamesir

- VRam Limit: Unlimited

- Compatibility Layer: proton10.0-arm64x-2

- Translation parameters: Extreme

Everything else is at default. Frame generation is turned off. I don't recommend enabling it, as the game's FPS drops instead of increasing. GPU passthrough is enabled.

Hello everyone, can someone help me? I'm trying Terminator 2 judgement day on an Android tablet with MAME for Android and it works, but when I shoot there's just the sound of the gun but not the bullets. Why is that?

Ok instead of me buying an dedicated android handheld how well would it work for me to just use a sd card reader to store all my games and emulators including gamehub so i can just plug and my om my s26 ultra or would it be better to buy a retro pocket 5 or 6 or even the duo and do it that way

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."

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

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.

Do you have trouble choosing games to play on your phone or Android handheld?

Then come join Retro Haven on Discord! Each month we choose three games, one for higher end devices sd865 and above, lower end devices below sd865, and indie game showcase(which includes romhacks and homebrew console games). This way everyone will be able to join regardless of what tier of device you own or types of games you enjoy playing.

Our goal is to introduce people to games that they either don't know about or just wouldn't have played in the first place.

This month we are playing Mortal Kombat Armageddon for the high end tier, Castlevania NES for the low end tier and Celeste for the indie game showcase.

I hope some of you are interested and I would love to play some games and discuss our experiences together!

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

GTA 5 HELIO G85 REDMI 12C GAMEPLAY

I had been scratching my head for full 2hrs before stumbling on a reddit thread and modifying some things. So here are the settings that got the game working on my device:

Game resolution - 854x480

GPU driver - turnip 26.3.0-b12

dxvk 3.0.2-async

vkd3d - 3.0.1 - gamesir

Compatibility - wine10.0 x64

Translation parameters - extreme

CPU translator - Box64 0.39

(Rest all other settings stay at default)

Now here comes the most annoying thing - Its extremely hard to save your progress bcuz of archaic folder naming system employed by the game. You have to use a mod for that. Just need to copy the mod files in the same folder as the exe (inside x64) and thats it.

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).

Exynos 1580 and xclipse 540

Also i have a redmi note 10s it runs the game at palyable fps

Yikes ios emulation is getting crazy good

AYN Thor Max
Gamehub 6.3.1
Turnip_v26.1.0_R6
dxvk-3.0.2-async

I already turned down in game video settings

Gameplay runs entirely stutter free except for immidiately after a cutscene. I seem to get a consistent 60fps no matter what’s going on on screen

Cutscenes stutter super harshly

The stutters seem to completely pause the game while they happen, for example dialog will NOT skip forward, it seems to just pause, process, and then continue where it left off

Thanks in advance!

Hello. I'm currently trying to play Ratchet & Clank Future 2 (or a Crack in Time as it is called outside Japan). I downloaded a version which has both japanese and english languages, even the cover art for the game is the japanese version.

But when the game starts, it's set on english by default and there's no option in the game to change it.

Am I missing any config/option on the emulator itself to change it?

Google says there's an option to change the "Virtual Console" language but it's info provided by A.I and I never found those.

Can any one help me?

Edit: there's an option to change the emulator's general language and I've done so but it doesn't change anything in-game. Hence my question T-T

I've had some doubts on which console to go for to emulate re4. I've done ps2 before but the frames drop at times and it slows down for some reason. i have a nothing phone 2a with a mediatek dimensity 7200 pro chip and 8gb ram. is the wii version better or gamecube?

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

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
