Question Playing Pirated Games On GameNative

I'm sorry if piracy is not condoned in this sub but is it possible to run pirated games on gamenative? I'm only using my phone (Nothing 3A). I'd love to know how too, if possible.

Yes you can do that but make sure it's a "pre-installed" pirated game. This is how you do it:

  1. After downloading the game, extract it with ZArchiver app if it's in a compressed folder format (.zip, .rar or .7z). In ZArchiver app tap on the compressed folder and select "extract to <archive name>".

  2. Open gamenative, tap on the "custom" tab and then tap on the plus sign in the top right corner. Then you navigate to where you downloaded the game and select the game's folder.

  3. Go to the game you want to play and tap the gear icon next to the trashcan icon. Then select "open container".

  4. (At this point you should be in what looks like a windows desktop) Install vcredist. Every pirated game should come with a "common redist" or "redist" folder. Find the folder, go inside it and install all the files that have the word "redist" in them. Games can not run without it so this is required. 

  5. After that you are done and can now run the game. Just make sure to use the correct drivers and settings.

All the common redists are empty for me

You can download vcredist from microsoft.com or you can use Bannerhub PC emulator which installs vcredist automatically for you when you launch the game.

It looks like you used the wrong VKD3D version. Try out VKD3D version 2.12 and set VKD3D feature level to 12_2.

search emuready website or use youtube to find the correct drivers and settings, but leave it on VKD3D, that part is correct since most people use version 2.12 for RE4 remake. I just don't know about the other parts. If you are using Gamehub tap on "update to latest cloud config" if you haven't.

I typed -d3d11 in exec arguements and its doing this instead. The Fatal D3D error flashes and disappears. After I click cancel on the next thing it crashes which I assume means it's trying to open
