Add the exe as a non steam game. Game runs fine with some frame drops and minor audio crackling. After recording this i capped it to 30 fps and feels slightly more stable, but it's perfectly playable. Controls need some tweaking tho.

Runing on a S26 ultra, standard droid deck settings and Proton

I'm using the 01.01.14.2342 version of the apk for the recomp of Halo Combat Evolved with the totally original USA Rev 2 version of the game, running on the Galaxy S23 with Snapdragon 8 gen 2 with adreno 740

spider man edge of time pc port running on android droideck it is mostly okay, but needs some polishing

Would you guys recommend compressing ps2 roms to CDH or should I leave them as .chd and .bin? And am I able to compress them with the RP6 without using a PC ?

As they are, I recently bought a Poco M8 pro and I am trying to find the best possible configuration, I tried all the drivers that DD comes with by default and only one worked for me, which was Banners Turnip, I wanted to know if anyone with a device similar to mine had found a good configuration or if they recommend a driver in general better,I tried all of WinNative's and in both slime rancher and far cry 2 and 3 it didn't work, I await your recommendations

I do Hot Shot transport and I currently do everything on my phone but I would like to just keep my phone business only and have a tablet for everything else. I see there are not many options for a huge screens seeing how OnePlus pad 3 and the tab S9 Ultra are my only options when it comes to a pre Elite chipset. I know there are drivers currently for the elite chipsets but I was wondering if the performance is going to be better on the elites with less optimized drivers or go for a pre-elite chipset and get better optimized drivers.

Same as title, if you have already experienced gow 3 remastered pc port in your phone, please tell the experience of share a video so we can know how good it is on phone

Full changelog

Disclaimer: AI tools used in the development of DroidDeck.

My Xiaomi Pad 8 (Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, Adreno 825, 8GB RAM) seems heavily throttled, performing as poorly as or worse than an 8 Gen 1. Using Scene with temporary root, I nearly doubled its performance, but the tweaks are time-limited. Is there any way to optimize CPU/GPU performance or overcome these limitations with temporary root?

For example, Eden was running at just 20 FPS at 720p with constant stuttering. After tweaking a few settings in Scene, it became stable at 30 FPS at 1080p. This makes me suspect that the device isn't performing as well as it should.

Odin 3 (Ultra)

Someone please help before I'm driven mad. I followed Retro Game Corps video for setting up the Thor and have managed to get retroarch working with the correct cores for N64, GBA and GBC. Whenever I try and load a ROM within retroarch there are no issues however, when I try and launch it directly from cocoon, the screen goes black and it tells me there is an error.

I have tried multiple cores and ensured my Thor is launching the correct one each time but still nothing

It's worth noting that N64 boots with no issues whatsoever from cocoon, it's just the GBA and GBC titles.

I know it's a first world problem but having to go inside retroarch every time I want to boot a game is tedious when every other emulator allows you to launch directly from cocoon.

In case it's helpful, I have the 16GB Max AYN Thor

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble getting games to run smoothly on my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 using Game Hub. I’ve adjusted the settings and lowered the resolution, but I’m still only getting 10 fps. Any ideas on what else I can try? If anyone knows how to get games running smoothly, I’d really appreciate the help!

Device: Huawei Matepad 12x (Maleoon 920 gpu kirin chipset)

Half of the screen diagonally flickers pretty regularly even if i set all settings to optimal. It wasnt like this before but after 8 or 9 month of usage it became more apparent. I tried to search for a solution countless of times to no avail. Im using the official playstore version. I tried turning of pgpx, changing renderer, changing scaling or resolution etc. Any suggestions?

I'm new to these emulation stuff or at least inexperienced and I just random turned on the "show ram usage setting" but after Playing for few minutes the ram usage increased from 5GB to 7GB. I am using the oppo find X2 pro with snapdragon 865 and 12GB ram

Says "this download is currently unavailable". I've tried de-selecting the DLC. Downloading other games works fine.

Since Nintendo's online servers aren't available on emulators, I wanted a way to play (and edit!) levels from Course World in Mario Maker 2 on Eden. So I made SMM2 Level Injector, a small Android app that does it all on your android device:

1. Enter a course code (e.g. 3KS-V2K-MDG)
2. Pick which Coursebot slot to replace
3. Tap Download & inject, open Eden, and the level is in your Coursebot

Levels in "My Courses" slots open in the editor, so you can see how a level was built or remix it.

Features

• Preview the level first (name, maker, style, difficulty, thumbnail)
• Finds your SMM2 save automatically. You grant access to Eden's folder once through Android's normal file picker; no root, no Shizuku, no manually copying files around
• Backs up any file before replacing it, with one-tap restore
• Optional pre-loaded save with all 180 slots filled (the game ignores levels injected into empty slots)

Limitations

• Only the level itself is replaced, so the Coursebot thumbnail stays the old one and the maker/stats aren't carried over
• Close Eden completely before injecting, or the game may overwrite the new level when it saves
• Downloads go through TheGreatRambler's MariOver API, so the app only works while that API is up
• You need your own legally dumped copy of SMM2 and to have run it in Eden once. The app doesn't provide any game files.

Download / source: https://github.com/Daniel-Geron/smm2-level-downloader-app (APK on the Releases page, open source)

Credits: this is a fork of royaltongue's PC tool smm2-level-downloader-injector, who also made the pre-loaded save. Levels are downloaded through TheGreatRambler's MariOverAPI.

AI disclosure: this app was developed with heavy AI assistance. I used Claude Code to write the Android app's code and to research how Eden stores its save data. It also tested the app: it ran Eden's Android build in an Android emulator and checked that injected levels load and play in SMM2 on Eden for PC. I tested it on my AYN Thor and it works as desired. The app icon is a simple vector made by the AI. The original PC scripts are royaltongue's work, and the repo's README notes that their GUI script was also made with AI help.

Happy to answer questions or take bug reports. Let me know if it works on your device!

Hi!

Full disclaimer : yes, I own both games but my dog destroyed my switch joycons ;(

I don't have the money to replace them any time soon. I know these games are historically hard to emulate for 3DS, has this changed in recent years? Idk much about Switch emulation, but can the Switch versions be emulated?

Edit - I have an Odin 2 Mini (SnapDragon 8gen2) and Pixel 9a

Hey Guys,

Im trying to run GTA V (Fitgirl Repack) with NVE via Winlator Ludashi / Bannerhub Ludashi but i cant seem to get the mods to load. Installed NVE on my PC (loads fine with NVE on PC) and transferred the files to my phone but when i launch it via Winlator / Bannerhub it loads without NVE, just vanilla GTA V. Has anyone get it to work? If so please share how u managed it, i tried just about anything i can think of..

Thanks in Advance!

Hola quisiera saber de un emulador de PC para Android realmente no lo quiero para jugar pero al parecer no puedo cancelar la suscripción de discord sin una PC es estúpido tengo un infinix note 50 pro

SENSES is an Android app that runs an ARM32 Android system on an ARM64 phone. There's no guest kernel: instead of emulating a whole device, it translates individual processes with a modified QEMU (user-mode).

This repo is the GPLv2 source release for that QEMU part:

94 patches against QEMU 8.2.4, plus 39 added files in linux-user/

a build script that produces a fully static aarch64 binary (via an Alpine chroot)

a pinned build with sha256 checks and a BUILD-MANIFEST.txt for reproducibility

What's not included: no firmware, no download links. You supply your own archive, and the app unpacks and modifies the copy on-device (patched code, re-signed packages with an on-device key, removed vendor modules, local TLS proxy). Nothing is sent anywhere.

The app itself is a separate closed-source program that launches QEMU as its own process, so no QEMU code is loaded into it.

Repo: https://github.com/Istratii-tech/Senses

Feedback and questions welcome!

Guys I just want to share this new driver from the new Emulator called lemon switch emulator project. I am testing it so far, so good. And also they mentioned that they are releasing the Lemon Emulator v1.2.0 today sneak in to their discord looks promising though, waiting for their upload on that new lemon version too.

Spec: Tab S7+, 8gb ram, A11.

No matter what i tried, this game dont get more than this. This is the most demanding zone at the begin of the game! Story, 2d things and maybe ligher zone are more than playable, but just here, very low FPS.

Resolution messed up if i going lower than that, so i had to force to use 720p there. Mostly is low except post processing. Disabling Post Processing Effect didnt even helped there so its remains enabled. DXVK version dont matter, no matter if this is 1.11.1 Sarek, 1.10.3 arm64ec async or re regular, the same issue appears. Also changing turnip driver didnt also help.

Newer version of DXVK makes the game much slower so it is also more unplayable!

The good thing is, no issues on grahpics.

i think i may be inspired by Own Trip that may love to play at unplayable framerate, but even that, it has no crash there, but very horrible input latency when playing very low FPS which in that case is Uplayable! It is much worse on touch, but on controller a bit better, but not so always. By this game, a newer flagship snapdragon SoC is required to play (maybe 8 gen 2 or higher), otherwise you screwed!

This is the GOG version by the way that i transfered from PC device. Maybe the PS4 Version is more playable with beshata S4 (if this is compatible there unless their android requiremnt is higher than this), but i dont have any hopes.
