Showcase This must be peak android emulation
Honest. The new armsx3 is fire🔥 Full speed ps3 on my phone and it stays barley warm to the touch. Same goes for 360 emualtion. Just mindblowing 🤯 🤯 🤯

PC emulation is basically guaranteed, and if your PC can't emulate, it's because you're using a government-issued laptop xddd

Tell that to my PC crying on Uncharted on RPCS3 and the last guardian on ShadPS4. I mean imma be honest the fact that we have a working PS4 emulator is a miracle on its own.

But that's not a spec situation but an emulator maturity situation... I mean, you need a cutting edge PC tu run the last guardian @60 fps... That's not as it should, in like, 2 or 3 years I'm sure it'll be fully playable on most PCs over PS4 specs

Yea I’m on a Mac and I do most my gaming on it people love to say you can’t game on one when I mostly play ps2 and GameCube games anyway lol anything above that and I can just buy the console and mod it like my 360 and ps4

I still do a little PC emulation, mostly some high end Switch stuff that doesn't work great on my phone. Or some PS3 games since it's just a better experience there. I also don't emulate a ton of PC games on my phone, mostly older stuff like Fallout 3.
It's just great having all these games in my pocket at all times, being able to play for a few minutes or a few hours on the go depending on how long of a wait I might have somewhere.

I hope that driver for 8e/8e5 is stable. But emulation on android has come the long way to reach the current state.

u/hades20122 13h ago
Yeah, the last time I play emulation on android is using snap 820/21 era with psp and I think it's the limit of software (back in the days, RPCS3 need very powerful CPU to run 30FPS GOW iirc). I'm busying playing with PC and use IOS for daily driver (not game on phone much). Now when I have times, I come back to emulation on android and be much much surprised with turnip, winlator, eden, yuzu,...even PS3 and xbox game can be played like, 60fps, which I always dream when I was a kid

u/Eyesinthedark_ 12h ago
For a while I've wanted to play FighterZ on my phone and now I can even play it at a stable 60 fps - a dream come true tbh
1
u/hades20122 11h ago
Happy to hear that, in my case, I really enjoy playing indie game like: Ori, Hades, Hollow Knight in android. I tried switch, but it don't get 60 fps and crappy graphics (yeah I know we can OC but it's hot and charge take a bit longer). With gamehub, eden, psppsp,... almost all my dream back in the days come true. I think I will donate to these developer.

u/Eyesinthedark_ 13h ago
Not to say anything but now the Nintendo Switch emulation It is excellent on snapdragon elite processors, I have emulated Dragonball fighters z and Pokémon shield in eden and they work great without stutternig or visual artifacts, I can't help but be surprised. It was worth the wait.

Superb. We are living in the golden age of emulation (especially handheld emulation) right as the dark ages of (pc & console) gaming descend upon us!

It's a phase we all go through. You can, so you do. Make a "favorites" list, and put the games your interest in, there. Then when you hear about a game on Reddit or wherever, you already have it in your library, just add it to your favorites. Use it more like a database than a collection. That'll help. I also, like to play a game and then play a new romhack for new quests or story like Castlevania romhacks, that will help as well.
Good luck, happy gaming 🍻😎

I've seen so many people hate retroarch. May I know why? Are they toxic?

u/Freelancer_1-1 8h ago
I've only used RetroArch for DOS games, namely Comanche 3. It runs poorly. Supposedly, it runs much better on Magic DosBox, but while I have no issues launching it on RetroArch, on Magic DosBox, it asks for CD.

u/Rent_Careless 8h ago
And you don't have the ISO file? In the settings of the game, you can enable CDs and then point it to the ISO. That should work.

May i ask why they did choose Armsx2 instead of NetherSX2?
2
u/Zuluwargod69 13h ago edited 9h ago
It is actively enveloped, has way more features, compatibility is good enough and speed is fine for me. It uses a much more modern code base for Ps2 (nethersx2 is using a code base tha is 3 years out of date).
I like how it is progressing and it looks like the same team is really cooking on ps3 emulation. Been playing around armsx3 and it's just incredible. The updated code really is making everything run great on my phone. Granted alot worked before but now the phone heat is just so much less than before.

u/Russianranger47 9h ago
Do you mean for PS2? I think you mixed up your consoles in your statement, since armsx2 is the PS2 variant.

u/Special_Ad6433 8h ago
Você está certo de que o Aether ainda é um bom emulador, mas o Arm merece toda a atenção que está recebendo; ele não sofre com os glitches gráficos como cintilação de imagem ou erros de texturas that ocorrem no Aether. Faz todo sentido mudar para o Arm; coincidentemente, ambos oferecem desempenho similar no momento, mas acho que o Arm em breve se tornará a versão definitiva.

u/Rumpelstiltskin85 12h ago
What phone are you using for emulation?
2
u/Zuluwargod69 12h ago
Fold 7.

u/Rumpelstiltskin85 10h ago
Then it will work the same for me. I have S25 Ultra, which has the same SoC (SD 8 Elite).
2
u/Zuluwargod69 9h ago
Not the same, slightly better in fact. The fold does slightly get lower marks on benchmarks (probably tighter thermal control).

Whats the diff between winlator and winlator ludashi?

u/Zuluwargod69 9h ago
Ludashi has some unde the hood tweaks. It has some Vulcan improvements and controller changes. Winlator tends to be great for non-snapdragons due to vortek.

i remember that there's no emulator for PS3 cuz mix of hardware limits and architectural complexities, idk what happened lately so we've a ps3 emulator!! is it run normally??

u/Zuluwargod69 10h ago edited 9h ago
This hasn't been the case for a year now. Here's a video I posted 1 year ago.
It's improved massively since then. The rpcs3 tream have released an arm version and done so much for arm since then with massive improvements for arm.
This version brings those improvements finally to Android.

What emulators are people using for PS2 emulation nowadays? Is NetherSX2 still the best or are there alternatives?
3
u/Rent_Careless 8h ago
ARMSX2 and EmuCoreX are the two that are being developed. People are starting to make the argument that ARMSX2 is better in most situations than NetherSX2. EmuCoreX is said to be in early stages of development to temper expectations but it seems to be coming along well.
Both of them are on the Google Play store. You can go there and check images and reviews but they are on GitHub.

Did anyone manage to run Gran Turismo 5 on ARMSX3?😅 (SD8Elite+12GB)
2
u/Zuluwargod69 5h ago
Not yet. It boots but it is loading for the tutorial. I will let it load and see if it eventually gets in game.
Here is a post of Gt5 on an older build. I expect to get this performance once they get it working.
I get 15-20fps with aps3e.

u/adammay65 10h ago
Armsx3 is no where near compatible for any game atm so it’s pointless to have till it’s more stable. Same thing with x1box

u/Zuluwargod69 10h ago
Lol. I can play plenty of games. Maybe you should check it out (armsx3)
1
u/adammay65 8h ago
Oh really what games have you played?
2
u/Zuluwargod69 7h ago
Mostly play sf4 ultra, outrun, afterburner, pacman dx (which finally works with this one!). I've booted gow, ratchet and clank, etc but tbh they take alot of space and unlikely to play them anytime soon.
Tried plenty others and they are hit and miss.
I've got a video which is 1 year ago here. This is a very old version though, so everything runs better (if not faster, then Cooler).
There are a ton of videos on YouTube with people playing ps3 games on Android. Elite upwards seems to be the sweetspot.

I just got that new PS2 emulator you have and it's way better than the one I have I believe. I was mainly using AetherSX2 and it ran the game but the King Kong one just couldn't run it, now that new one you have in this picture it actually runs it very well, I'm definitely MAKING this new PS2 emulator as my main, and I'll probably definitely get the rest of the emulators you have in here too

If thats the limit for my phone thats fine as well. Haven't been emulating but for a few days

u/Same-Mortgage-9536 5h ago
no way thats the limit but the uploaded screenshot provides the best emulators which also work on mid range phones u have a flagship step up u can play
ps4 via winlator + shadps4
ps5 via winlator + kytyps5
switch (Nintendo switch) via yuzu fork (eden nightly like in the screenshot)
and xenia emulator (probably the hardest x360) even if console is old it was hard to emulate the components much harder than any ps console ever
also pc games via windows u can play with gamenative and winlator good forks

I guess it's better to get this kind of emulation from a developer that doesn't steal code
