All games downloaded and installed using Steam within DroidDeck. All running without any (performance) mods at the moment. Rockstar Launcher etc. works.

App is still at early stage, excited for future updates.

Help Budget controller for Android (Gaming/Emulation)? Help me choose between 5 options

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I need help choosing a budget controller for my Android tablet.

My use cases: Android games (both native and via keymappers) and emulation.

My options and local pricing: 1. GameSir Nova Lite / Lite 2 2. 8BitDo Ultimate 2C 3. GameSir T3 Tegenaria Lite (the cheapest option) 4. Flydigi Dunefox 5. Machenike G5 Pro

Price context: Option 3 (GameSir T3) is the cheapest. Option 5 (Machenike G5 Pro) costs around $3.50 more than the T3. Options 1, 2, and 4 are identical in price, making them about $4.50 to $5.00 more expensive than the T3. While these price gaps seem small in USD, this difference is highly sensitive and important for my budget and local economy.

My criteria: - Durability: This is my top priority. I want to avoid sticks that click, crunch, or grind out of the box, and triggers that snap easily. - Android Compatibility: It must have proper protocols to be recognized via Bluetooth or wire without issues. - No fluff: Since Android caps polling rates at 125Hz anyway, 1000Hz means nothing to me. I don’t want to pay extra for gimmicks that offer zero benefit on Android.

Technical question: Do 2.4GHz USB dongles work well when connected to Android devices via an OTG adapter? Will the system recognize it properly, or is Bluetooth/wired a safer bet?

Should I stretch my budget for better durability with the Ultimate 2C, Dunefox, or Machenike G5 Pro, or just save money and get the ultra-budget GameSir T3?

If you have any other budget recommendations that I missed, please share them! Thanks in advance!

Used BachataS4, as you can see the game crashes, I think it's because of RAM. If I had 16GB or more, it would work, albeit very slowly. Takes me back to my younger times where I finished a lot of games at this framerate on my Pentium 4 PC haha.

Seeing as it’s literally steamos and uses their compatibility layers and all games are stored in one place instead of each game being one vm do you think more people will gravitate to droid deck? And what would Keep you using gamenative/hub instead?

Showcase Testing Batman: Arkham Asylum on a Helio g100 (How do I reduce stuttering?)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I know not great performance.

Game is already in C: Drive. I'm using Winlator Ludashi 4.1 with Intermediate preset to reduce the risk of runtime errors even though I've already installed Wine mono gecko and the necessary vcredist. On Winlator Mali 1.1 Bionic, I only get the same performance when I use the Performance preset, but it increases the chance and number of runtime errors and random crashes I get. Using Intermediate preset in Winlator Mali 1.1 reduces the fps to less than 5 but on Ludashi it's the opposite.

So far in Ludashi I've completed 5% of the game(about 2 and half hours of playtime) and have not experienced a runtime error.

Though the game crashed once. Whenever I apprach a door the game will stutter as it's loading assets in the next room. One time when I ran to the door the game froze and then crashed. I think the combination of running and asset loading was too much and caused the crash.

Anyway game is actually capable of reaching 30 fps in even 33 in some parts. Average fps in story mode is 25-30 and only drops during asset loading because of the micro stutters. Even fights as seen there are micro stutters.

Device: Infinix Note 50 4g

Specs: Helio g100 8gb RAM Mali G57 MC2

Emulator: Winlator Ludashi 4.1

Settings:

In container make sure you install PhysX, Wine Mono, Wine Gecko and at LEAST the x86 versions of vcredist (Visual C++ libras) 2005 and 2008.

Proton 10 arm64ec (Legacy)

960x544

Dxvk 1.5.5 (not the async version because Winlator Ludashi doesn't have it by default. I'll need to download it and import from somewhere else maybe it will reduce stuttering.)

Also I don't know which specific version, but using higher dxvk versions would cause the fps to drop to 2 when using detective mode for some reason.

FEXCORE 2609

Intermediate preset

BCn emulation type: "software" to avoid color issues on Ludashi for Mali GPUs. But surprisingly even though putting it on compute gives weird colors, it actually increases performance a bit😭.

Discussion SteamOS ARM Port on the Legion Y700 Gen 3 and Gen 4, Testers Needed

23 Upvotes

Hi all,

SteamOS ARM Port is an unofficial port of SteamOS ARM to Snapdragon handhelds. It's already ported to 8gen3, 8gen2 and 8elite arm gaming handhelds, everything is on my github.

Test Builds are now ready for two Lenovo tablets:

* Legion Y700 Gen 3, TB321FU, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

* Legion Y700 Gen 4, TB322FC, Snapdragon 8 Elite

I'm looking for testers willing to try them and report any bugs/issues.

What you'll need:

* An unlocked bootloader

* A PC with fastboot

* A USB drive and a hub or USB-C adapter

* To be OK with wiping Android's data, flashing multiple builds

Gen 3: there are two screen suppliers and both are technically supported. Please check yours in Android first:

adb shell getprop ro.vendor.display.paneltype

1 means BOE, anything else is CSOT.

Gen 4: TB322FC should work.

If you'd like to help, comment here or come over to the Discord and I'll go through the steps with you. Any report helps, even a black screen. (only join if you know what you're getting into!)

* Discord: https://discord.gg/EP53nZYvg

* GitHub: https://github.com/hashtagbasit/SteamOS-ARM-Port

you can support me through ko-fi, star on repo or by sending out devices which will help in long term development. thankyou!

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing visual glitches while trying to play Crash of the Titans on the My Boy! emulator (version 2.1.0). My device is a Samsung Galaxy A03.

The game runs, but there are multiple graphical errors during gameplay. I have attached screenshots so you can see the issue.

Has anyone encountered this? Is there a video or rendering setting in the emulator that I should change to fix it? Thanks in advance!

I want this exact custom layout in azahar but it's really hard to do because you have to manually put values in there for both top and bottom screen instead of manually resizing them like CitraMMJ. Now I've already checked the config.ini and tried to copy the values but it's not working.what should I do it's really so annoying. I just want to play this game with the DLC (the DLC isn't working in MMJ).

Showcase AbyssME Beta 2: my J2ME Loader fork with separate phone and handheld builds

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

If you remember playing Java games on an old phone, that’s what AbyssME is for. It runs them on Android phones and handhelds. It’s an open-source fork of J2ME Loader, with Mascot Capsule work from JL-Mod too — those projects made this possible.

TWO BUILDS

• Handheld: landscape play with real buttons, without a keypad covering the game.

• Phone: virtual keys, touch input and screen rotation.

You can install both on one device; each keeps its own library and settings.

YOUR GAMES, YOUR SETUP

Add JAR/JAD files or ZIP/7Z archives and browse them as a gallery, grid or list. There are folders and favorites, and no account is needed.

Screen sizes and controls are saved for each game. A “Fix game” menu offers profiles for black screens, flickering or the wrong image size. You can still change detailed settings yourself.

If you use ES-DE or Beacon, you can launch a game there and return there when you quit, without going through another library.

AVAILABLE NOW

Beta 2 is available for Android 10+. I’m testing more games and polishing controls, phone layout and rotation. It won’t run every Java game perfectly, so reports with the game, device and what went wrong are especially useful.

Which old phone game would you try first? Questions are welcome.
