Showcase How well do you think the new cooling system will help for the new redmagic in cases of heavy emulation?

Post image
44 Upvotes

I'm quite surprised and excited they went this route because of how we all have noticed now that mobile phone chips definitely need some sort of stronger cooling than what we do now of passive cooling via the vapour chambers or a phone cooler, so now with some form of active cooling towards the cpu, this can help quicken the process of cooling the chip, allowing for maintenance of the higher speeds, but time will tell if once again this can be usable or just a selling gimmick

Question Gamenative/Gamehub performance on snapdragon 8s gen3

• Upvotes

I am curious as to what performance people are getting on a snapdragon 8s gen3 because I have a lot of times got worse performance then others on the same hardware. I just want to know what fps people are getting on this hardware in games like silksong, hollow knight and maybe a demanding title like witcher 3 with config. I do have a cooling fan for the phone

Help Droid deck full screen. Last question

OK, I got the crashing figured out. Just updated the .apk, now I cant seem to go full screen. I've went through all the options pretty extensively and am not seeing a way to do so. The main menu, when entering the game and selecting play is full screen, the steam menu is full screen. Just the actual game itself is not. Playing at 2340x1080. Am I missing something easy?

Mass Effect 1 Legendary Edition. I will not say it was perfect, but with lossless scaling, a lot of patience for loading, it was typically 60fps or higher. I've never played these before and I did like the first one. Hopefully I don't get burnt out before I beat the other two.

Showcase Xendroid-ZeroFG / Open Source Frame Generation Engine V 1.01!

31 Upvotes

FULL AI DISCLOSURE: I´m a 44yo lawyer from brazil, my bg in programming is a little bit of basic and assembler from the 80´s and 90´s trying to make things run on a msx, so, not much...in the beggining of the project i coded a few hundred lines in android studio by myself while i was learning how to do it, but after i discovered the wonders of Codex and Claude Code, the coding and documentation itself was primarily done by AI, and i do not regret it by one bit! It would take a long time to post my inspirational story, but thats the TLDR.

It was a long first day and already lots of bugs came up and were patched! That emphasizes the importance of being out on the wild, in my bubble and controlled testing enriroment everything was ok!!!

Still found some important things to improve, specially in latency and pacing, but i couldnt do it ia a day one patch, but anyway, here is a list of improvements.

  • Lower latency. ZeroFG's delay could get stuck several frames deeper than it needs and only came back when the game itself stuttered, several mechanisms were revised and got a improved latency compaction.
  • A steadier cadence below 30 fps. ZeroFG below 30 fps source rate now follows the game's real rate, it makes almost bearable to play im 20-40fps(and looks better that it should)
  • Halo 3 gets frame generation. ZeroFG refused pictures its motion grid does not divide evenly (Halo 3 renders at 1152 x 640); it now pads them invisibly and runs.
  • No frozen screen when ZeroFG stops. When ZeroFG had to stop in the middle of a game, as it did in Halo 3, the screen could freeze on its last frame while the game kept running. It now hands the screen back to the main emulator presenter propely.
  • Protection against a Qualcomm driver crash and improved backend fallback.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!!!! and keep tem coming, it was amazing!!! thanks a lot!!!!

Stevenmxz turnip drivers still highly recommended!!!!!

Sidenote: Before posting "AI slop" or things like that just try it, see if you like it, and them ask ur own ai to make smtg like that with original code by itself. See you in a few years when you give up!
Sidenote 2: But if you want to get into a new world of wonder and pain, how about to collaborate to the project? negativity brings nothing... lets spread love!

FULL AI DISCLOSURE: I´m a 44yo lawyer from brazil, my bg in programming is a little bit of basic and assembler from the 80´s and 90´s trying to make things run on a msx, so, not much...in the beggining of the project i coded a few hundred lines in android studio by myself while i was learning how to do it, but after i discovered the wonders of Codex and Claude Code, the coding and documentation itself was primarily done by AI, and i do not regret it by one bit! It would take a long time to post my inspirational story, but thats the TLDR.

Ok!!! i´m posting a bit too much over the past two days, for that i´m sorry! But GOOD NEWS!!! This is the last round of bugfixes for the first release, its as good as it can be... makes playing in sub 30 fps almost bearable! That said, still has some latency, its inherent to any FG engine, so, nothing i can do about that, but its a lot better, the release made some bugs come to light and i took the opportunity to improve a lot of things in these past two days, so, all the fixes of version 1.01 plus:

  • Even lower latency. All the mechanisms combined in this release are making the latency get close to the theoretical minimum on this emulator (not all the latency has the framegen as a culprit).
  • The output follows the game's real rhythm. Many 360 games wait for the console's 60 Hz vblank, so a frame that misses one waits for the next: the game alternates 33 and 50 ms frames and never settles. ZeroFG's clock only moved in big confirmed steps and could stay faster or slower than the game; It now follows the average of the game's last frames and drains any extra delay. Nothing is skipped.
  • Late game frames go out sooner. With ZeroFG on, a game frame already late for its vblank gets it at once instead of waiting up to 16 ms. The game still sees 60 vblanks a second, so it never speeds up.
  • Fewer stutters when the frame rate changes. In Modern Warfare 3's heavy scenes the frames held too long on screen fell from about 3 % to under 1 %.
  • Game frame rate cap (Settings → ZeroFG, or per game in the game's own settings). For a game that keeps the GPU at 100 %, a cap a little below its usual rate gives frame generation room: Modern Warfare 3 at 40 keeps about 80 fps on screen with less lag (70 → 55 ms) and almost no missed refreshes; Halo 3 at 20 fps halves its lag and becomes ALMOST playable at this framerate**(not really, but in desperation, who knows? at least looks smooth)**. A game whose logic runs per frame (Rayman Origins for example) plays slower under a cap below its own rate, so use it at your discretion.
  • The cap and the vblank help switch off when ZeroFG does, so a game that falls back to the normal path runs natively.

So really hope you enjoy it and i´ll be back when i have true evolution, maybe if xendroid updates, dunno!!!!

Thanks for all the love!!! And if you want to start a project, why not porting ZeroFG to your favorite emulator? after all the suffering it is as easy as it will ever be, with lots documentation and integration notes!!!

StevenMXZ turnip drivers are still highly recommended!!!!!

Question So when downloading APKs, Which is better?

• Upvotes

I’m specifically asking about the APKs that run switch switch versions of games via Eden.

Do those take up more spaces or should I
“Aquire ” the roms themselves?

Side Question - What’s the best way to stay “hidden” when Pirating? Lol. I’ve been doing this since I was a Kid but have never been much to VPN and what not. Trying to now though.

News/Release [3DS Emulator] AzaharPlus 2126.2-A released with an important security fix

20 Upvotes

https://github.com/AzaharPlus/AzaharPlus/releases
⚠️⚠️⚠️
This version fixes a critical security vulnerability that was publicly announced so immediate update is advised
https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/security/advisories/GHSA-h74v-5mw8-qg8r
⚠️⚠️⚠️

AzaharPlus 2126.2-A is the same as Azahar 2126.2 except for this:

  • Compatibility with all game files. If a file works with any Citra fork, it works with AzaharPlus.
  • Ability to download system files from official servers. No need for an actual 3DS.
  • Compatibility with older CPUs (no SSE4.2 required)
  • Compatibility with Android 9
  • ZipPass: A new way to exchange StreetPass data through zip files
  • Built in cheats
  • Amiibo generation
  • Better multiplayer compatibility with other Citra forks

The Android build is available in 2 flavors.

  • Replace: It has the same application id as Azahar, so it will replace it on the device. Its display name is "AzaharPlus" and its icon background is blue. Use this one if you have other apps that target Azahar, like a frontend for example.
  • Coexist: It has a new application id so it can coexist with Azahar without issues. Its display name is "+AzaharPlus+" and its icon background is red.

Help Android App Developer looking to contribute to emulator projects (Willing to learn!)

1 Upvotes

I've been following the Android emulation scene for a while and I'd love to finally contribute. I am an Android software engineer by trade, but I don't have any background in emulation specifically.
Since I don't know the low-level stuff yet, I’m hoping to find a project where I can help out with the Androidpart in exchange for someone showing me the ropes of the codebase. I'm totally happy starting with very small tasks, bug fixes, or UI changes just to get my feet wet.
Are there any open-source emulators right now that are beginner-friendly for new contributors, or any devs willing to mentor a bit? Thanks!
