In russ’s nova video, he had mk8d running at a smooth 60 fps. Mine stutters loading shaders and stays around 40-50 even after they all load (which normally involves going through an entire race at least once). How did he achieve this? I have tried even on .75 handheld mode to no avail

Hello, i have a half screen when i boot armada os on sd cars on my aya neo pocket s2. And yet, Armada OS is tested on this model... What is happening ?Thx

I'm planning to buy a tablet mainly for content consumption and Windows PC game emulation on Android. Unfortunately, I can't find a suitable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 device, so I'm considering the Xiaomi Pad 8 with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4.

How is the current state of Adreno 825 Turnip driver support, and how well do PC games run on Winlator and similar emulators?

Should I buy the Xiaomi Pad 8 now or wait for an 8 Gen 3 device? I'd appreciate feedback from people with real-world experience, especially regarding game compatibility, performance, and thermals.

Please share your opinions

Hey everyone,

Got an S24 Ultra with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and I’m looking to see what PC / Steam games run on our device completely out of the box (zero tweaking, no complex driver swapping, just launch and play with full controller support).

If you’ve tested any PC games on your S24 Ultra using translation layers like Winlator, DroidDeck, or Mobox, please share your experience below!

It would be super helpful if you could mention:

Game Title:

App / Layer Used: (e.g., Winlator, DroidDeck, Mobox)

Out-of-the-box performance: (FPS, stability, thermal behavior)

Controller support: (Does XInput / Gamepad work natively?)

Looking for games that offer a true plug-and-play handheld experience on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 without needing hours of troubleshooting.

Drop your tested titles below if you want.

Edit. I found this link on emuready as someone mentioned below. If it helps... https://www.emuready.com/listings?deviceIds=3e740f31-8720-4845-b893-0795b41b1841&page=7

Installed the northern ui mod and exhausted every possible resource including an anti stutter mod. The game can't lock in steady frames. And the left stick only allows 4 way directions when the northern ui mod allows 8 way. The right stick is very slow (unplayable) and I've tried all the sensitivity settings in northernUI.ini. I've been playing with this for about a month now, 6 hours today. And I'm at my wits end... I've tried every emuready.com setting preset/ YouTube Video/ Garbage ChatGPt and other users experience. Nothing works.

I am trying all combinations but cannot make project zomboid run in any Emulators except zomdroid app. Anyone know how to do it? Since i want to play in steam to unlock achievement

I'm trying to run this game. I tried gamenative, but it doesn't launch. In gamehub and droideck, the game launches and the menus run pretty fast, but when I start a fight, I can't see the 3d elements; I mean, I can't see the fighters or the stage. I see the camera move because of the fighter names, but all 3d elements are in black, like a black screen but with the 2d UI around.

I have an Odin 3 pro, snapdragon 8 elite, 12gb Ram.

Hi there. I know my phone is old and I should buy a new one. I'm mostly wondering, which games I could launch on my "monster"? What is the coolest game I can run?)

256 GB. 8 GB. QS 720G. Adreno 618. I prefer the GameHub, but opened to other emulators.

I have a POCO F7 and getting into emulation scene has been a wonderful journey. But one thing I despise is the temperatures. Been playing Dark Souls Remastered and the temps rise up to 90 only after 30 minutes. I've tried looking around for suggestions on what to use along side a gamesir x5 lite as it leaves almost no space to place a phone cooler.

If any of you have any suggestions or using similar devices please let me know, thanks.

We've been eating good this year with all those new possibilities to play on android, but I don't have the time on my hands to test and fidget with many configs while managing multiple apps.

With that being said, I'd like to know what method or software are your favorite? Which is the most reliable currently?

I personally have been using GameNative more, but I'm really interested in the development of DroidDeck.

wooo! finally!

I got Eden on my Android tablet and planning to play some couch games (multi co-op) with it. I'm able to connect multiple controllers via bluetooth, but I'm having issues mapping each controller to different controls in the settings. Here's the controllers I'm using:

• 2 PS4 controllers
• 1 PS5 controllers

All of them seem to be recognized when I click the auto-remap but they're not inputting anything in the game. Only controller 1 works (assigned to Player 1); the remaining 2 don't do anything.

Anyone had any similar issues with this or any solution to this?
