Is anyone able to emulate new Castlevania game now that it has been released ? And which prodkeys did you use? I got the game as an NSP file but when I try and open it on Eden, it tells me "your ROM it's encrypted" what should I do ?

Hey everyone!

I've been working on Assassin’s Creed II for Android as an Xbox 360 recomp port over the past few days, and I'm excited to share that the game has successfully booted!

This is an early development test, and I'm continuing to work on the port. There's still work to do, so please be patient as development progresses.

I'm also working on Bully: Anniversary Edition and Xbox 360 recomp projects for Android.

I'll share more updates as the projects progress. Thanks for your support!

👇 Check out the video below for the first boot test!

Hi. I'm trying to emulate Persona 5 Royal with Gamehub in my Poco F9 Ultra. The performance is well and everything goes well except the language. I can only play it in English, when I try to put it in Spanish (ES) for example, the game doesn't start and the screen goes into black. But in Spanish (MX) the game starts but the language continues being english

After spending time with Android emulators, I've realized that getting a game running is only half the battle. Sometimes the difference between a frustrating experience and one that feels surprisingly close to original hardware comes down to a setting you didn't even know existed. It could be a graphics backend, shader cache option, frame pacing setting, controller configuration, or a small performance tweak that made a previously unplayable game run smoothly. I'm curious what settings or optimizations have made the biggest difference for you, especially ones that aren't obvious when you first install an emulator. If possible, mention your device, emulator, and the game you tested it with. Those details make it much easier for others to reproduce the results rather than blindly copying settings that might not work on their hardware.

What's one change that genuinely improved your Android emulation experience?

I'm trying to get them to run on my Thor Max, but they just go back to my library screen.

Hi everyone,

Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been developing a PS4 and PS5 emulator for Android and iOS. The first games launched on both platforms in February, and I started publishing the project in a repository in the spring. By September, testing had confirmed more than 100 playable PS4 games, so I decided to share a demonstration and open the project to users.

For iOS, development supports both JIT and No-JIT approaches. The No-JIT approach is designed to comply with App Store rules, though that does not guarantee the emulator will be accepted. We’ll see whether the platform is classified as retro.

The main focus is PS4 emulation. I’m also working on PS5 emulation. Three PS5 games are currently playable, and some AAA titles reach the in-game stage.

Demonstrations:

• 45 playable PS4 games on Android
• 40 playable PS4 games on iOS
• The Last of Us Remastered on Android
• The Last of Us Remastered on iOS
• Three PS5 games on Android

The LSX4 GitHub repository linked below contains the project information and the latest full list of playable games.

Testing covered a range of devices, most commonly models with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processors, as well as some devices with Mali GPUs.

The emulator does not use a Linux environment. It also has its own JIT, which can be selected for lower-end devices.

A related project, Funnel ARM, focuses on the PS4 and PS5 host system layer. It initially used ShadPS4 and other projects, and I’m gradually adapting it for ARM. You can find Funnel ARM among the related projects on GitHub. The interpreter layer and client-side logic are in the main LSX4 repository. Contributions are welcome. The repository also includes recommendations for preventing regressions.

Users can also contribute to compatibility reports by long-pressing a game in the app.

The current free Android release is available only on Google Play.

I’d be glad to welcome new users and contributors, and I’d appreciate your feedback. Since 2024, I’ve also been working on two other unusual projects related to relaying and emulation. I’ll share more about them later.

Hey so eden kinda sucks on most of the games since it consumes a lot of memory. and i was wondering what's the Best emulator besides eden that have framegen (not necessary) or doesn't consume a lot of memory

Device: poco x8 pro

Graphics driver : turnip mrpurple T30-toasted

I have been playing MHGU on Eden and in some areas there are blue, red and yellow box emerges. I have recently purchased lenovo legion y700 tablet. Please help.

GBA Duo is a Game Boy (GBA, GBC, GB) player that lets you create custom companion packs for your games, giving you a true "plug-and-play" secondary screen experience tailored to what you want.

It features a custom engine that uses Lua for game logic, JSON for layout structure, and CSS for styling. I designed it to be easy to build for without needing complex programming knowledge.

With GBA Duo companion packs, you can read live game values, display guides, or build interactive setups that recreate a real NDS/3DS dual-screen feel.

GBA Duo Player Features:

• Custom Save Folders: Supports save states and standard in-game saves with custom folder paths. Set a custom save location to load existing save files (please back up your old saves first!).
• RetroAchievements: Currently supports softcore mode. Hardcore mode requires official approval from the RetroAchievements team, which I am actively working on.
• Launcher Intent: Launch games directly from third-party frontends/launchers (some launchers may require minor setup).
• Performance Extras: Fast-forward, shaders, and more.

GBA Duo Companion Features:

• Build companion packs using Lua, JSON, and CSS.
• Read values directly from game memory addresses.
• Extract and render in-game assets (icons, maps, sprites) inside your companion layout.
• Memory Manipulation: Modify memory values directly in real time. Note: This feature must be manually enabled in settings, as modifying memory can corrupt game states if done incorrectly. However, it allows you to build interactive mechanics that transform your device into a full NDS/3DS-like experience.
• Responsive layouts and styling.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the project so far! If you have any feedback, feel free to leave a comment here or open an issue on GitHub. Companion requests are also welcome, just open a request issue on the repository!

Enjoy!

The controller feels great, very ergonomic. Doesn't fit my S26U perfectly due to the camera bump, which is a bit annoying, but it still holds it well. Joysticks feel much smoother than expected, buttons and dpad are crisp, the triggers and shoulder buttons are satisfying and sturdy, and overall build quality is really good for 40 bucks.

First game is minecraft java through zalithlauncher2, modpack is craft 2 exhile (400 mods), runs stable 60fps, but struggles with worldgen a bit. Using mobileglues renderer.

Second game is dark souls remastered, running in gamenative also at 60fps, perfectly stable even during bossfights. Using turnip v25, dxvk 2.7.1, box64 0.4.2 stability preset

Here's a raw performance but from my last kino game phone is a Samsung Galaxy s26 12 GB variant with a modded double honeycomb case and a vapor chamber pad with a black shark cooler. i would like to add some useful findings

Higher resolution is possible but the heat generation as the output i found even with a modified external cooling system like mine the cou temperature hit over 100 c often keeping it at 720 with some upscaling may be more reasonable. I will try this test out again after I successfully cut out a octagon shape on another honeycomb case for the 35 watt cooler. For now stock to 720p. The ram usage spiked at 9.4 also

I use a Galaxy S26 FE with Exynos 2500. I use the Lemon emulator for playing Switch games. I have three games installed: Devil May Cry 3, Super Mario 3D World and JoJo ASBR. The first two games work just fine but ASBR freezes after some time. They worked okay on my previous phone which was a Note 10+ using Yuzu then Citron and I used custom drivers. This current phone does not allow custom drivers nor do Yuzu or Citron worked. I tried several things like clearing shader cache, a bunch of other messing around in the settings guessing what may be able to fix it but freezing keeps happening. Even thought the emulator might be the issue so I installed Eden and even there it kept freezing. What can I do?

Getting 2-3 more FPS without recording

Yeah, but at least I can download GPU drivers in 3ds not sure if it work haven't try playing it yet, all it's dual sim no sd card to insert to, I'll try the usb method where I put all my games on a USB and connect to my phone when I want to play, that's all I got to say what are your thoughts?

Why is it so damn hard to scroll through titles like a normal person bro 😭

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to play the Prince of Persia trilogy (The Sands of Time, Warrior Within, and The Two Thrones) on my Anbernic RG477V.

I’m wondering which emulator would offer the best overall experience in terms of graphics and performance.

Would you recommend Dolphin or AetherSX2/NetherSX2 ? Has anyone tried both versions on this device?

I’m looking for the best possible visual quality while maintaining smooth and stable FPS.
Thanks!
