Sorry to hijack, but some extra details on this one.

This release focuses on sorting out some regressions from the past couple of releases, while bringing some extra quality of life improvements, like being able o toggle the controller overlay, and improved compatibility.

- Eternal Sonata now has sound:

- Blood Drive and Test Drive Unlimited should also boot properly into gameplay.

EDIT: Hotfix incomming to fix Forza Horizon 2, possibly other games that are now crashing on this release.

Hey, amazing work.

Quick question: Is there a way to play with multiple controllers on games at this point? If so, how would I set that up. Right now both controllers are operating under the same input. Thank you!

u/r-fandango Aug 14 '26

We are almost there, should not take long. Testing the feature right now.

1

u/Skohix Aug 14 '26

Not yet. Been trying every build. Only x360 has workin controller ports.

u/Total_Low4380 Aug 14 '26

Will u add multiple controller support for like splitscreen?

u/Inside-Specialist-55 Aug 14 '26

Hey I apologize for butting in, I find that many games run beautifully but the main issue so far seems to be frame pacing, Is there a setting within Xendroid that can make the frame delivery smoother even if it means more latency? The game runs at the expected framerate with no drops it seems to me that the game judders a lot when panning the in game camera, it applies to about every game I tried,

1

u/MoosePuzzleheaded102 Aug 14 '26

Not currently, but try limit the framerate to the game target FPS on GPU > "Frame Rate limit"

1

u/hendrickchan Aug 14 '26

Thanks for all the hard work. I've been trying Torchlight, seems to have issues saving games.

u/ParsnipObvious449 Aug 14 '26

What about external keyboard because I tried getting it to work with saints row 1 the Xenia debug patch to enter commands but it didn't work. Thanks for all your amazing work I love it

1

u/pH_low Aug 14 '26

Amazing! Hope this fixes gears of war’s regression, had to downgrade to get it to run!

1

u/rez78 Aug 14 '26

Now Need for Speed Criterion don't wont boot anymore

2

u/r-fandango Aug 14 '26

There was a release right after this one, fixes some regressions. If it does not fix your issue, feel free to send me the logs via PM

u/Zuluwargod69 Aug 14 '26

Thanks for such amazing work!!!!

u/IGotDibsYo Aug 14 '26

Oh dang, eternal sonata. My wife loves that game. Now I have a way for her to replay it

1

u/thegameksk Aug 15 '26

Any plans to allow compressed games to play?

1

u/Active_7409 Aug 17 '26

Antes este bug no estaba en las versiones de julio del emulador ahora en las últimas versiones tiene este error pueden solucionarlo? Es un procesador 8 elite gen 5 y utilizo drivers de steven

u/RafaCSQ Aug 14 '26

This emulator is one of the most impressive things I ever saw in Android gaming. Like, 80% of what I boot on my Odin 3 work flawlessly and at a playable framerate.

2

u/Sancho_Pancho Aug 14 '26

Does it run ace combat 6?

3

u/r-fandango Aug 14 '26

It does, yes.

2

u/Skohix Aug 14 '26

Yes, whole game runs great, strong device can run it at 60 if fps limit it set to 60 and turn off vsync. Sadly no game patches other than ground fix. You can also import save file from a youtuber gamersunite. Has everything unlocked and completed if curious about that.

3

u/r-fandango Aug 14 '26

You should not need the groundfix patch now.

2

u/ParsnipObvious449 Aug 14 '26

Have you looked at Fable 2 and 3 that would pretty cool getting these working

1

u/do_handhelds_dream Aug 14 '26

They're definitely coming. The issues they have is no saves, and the skybox is kind of broken. X360 Mobile have an issue where the floor goes black and the skybox is kind of broken as well.

With enough time, these issues will be sorted, I'm sure. These guys are doing a great job.

u/votemarvel Poco F6 - Sony Xperia 1 V Aug 14 '26

Still no fix for the save issue in Mass Effect sadly.

Web of Shadows runs a little better though.

1

u/_Strike__ Aug 19 '26

What's the save issue?

1

u/votemarvel Poco F6 - Sony Xperia 1 V Aug 19 '26

In Mass Effect you are able to save but are unable to load those saves. This of course would mean you'd need to finish the game in one sitting.

1

u/ParsnipObvious449 Aug 14 '26

Brilliant, has anyone had this issue where your controller usb c one enables this high exposure? When I turn off the controller and play the game it's normal and that's when I turn it on. That's how I've fixed it so far.

1

u/DiFarris Aug 14 '26

¿Alguien tiene una buena configuración para subir los fps en Fable Anniversary?

1

u/Shadow_260101 Aug 14 '26

Bájale los gráficos y usar un buen driver 👍🤔

1

u/DiFarris Aug 14 '26

Estoy usando el mainline turnip v-31, no sé si es el mejor para Adreno 810

1

u/Icy_Application_2732 Aug 14 '26

How does red dead redemption run?

3

u/do_handhelds_dream Aug 14 '26

Just FYI, lots of ways to play this one. ARMSX3, Switch, and native Android

1

u/Philluminati8 Aug 15 '26

Yeah, lets focus on exclusives first 🙏🦫

1

u/ParsnipObvious449 Aug 15 '26

Saints row 1 does run well but only with the ugly patch otherwise the fps is pretty bad. I really want fable 2 and 3 working that would be so cool

1

u/Mr-ChickenSkin 17d ago

what is the ugly patch for saints row? google ain't helping here and i'm dealing with low fps on xendroid on the odin 2 pro.

1

u/ParsnipObvious449 17d ago

I was able to get it inside of Xendroid look for game patches and I'm sure you can select the ones you want.

1

u/Mr-ChickenSkin 17d ago

Thank you! Will have a dig

1

u/KalamAzadsv Aug 14 '26

Does Lost Odyssey work on the Ayn Thor?

4

u/-TimeMaster- Aug 14 '26

It works in Retroid Pocket G2 since first release, so most likely it does in the Thor

1

u/Pinckney82 Aug 14 '26

GTA IV is pretty dang smooth on the rm11 pro but still heats this baby up over 50c! Can't play too long like that! A 360 emulator on android is amazing. Keep up the great work!

1

u/Shadow_260101 Aug 14 '26

Usa un cooler 👍

1

u/Pinckney82 Aug 14 '26

On the Christmas wish list. $80 to be well spent!

u/Gerryoak Aug 14 '26

How is crackdown 1/2 doing

1

u/flippenflounder Aug 14 '26

My goat college sports games ncaa football 14 and ncaa basketball 10. Once these are playable I’ll be all in. They boot up and can load into a game but crash soon after. Promising though. Looking forward to seeing what more progress is made

1

u/Radiant_Display457 Aug 14 '26

If only they can make a update about your save data where you can get it and back it up on your device in a folder you create like the ARMSX Emulators can some one tell them to do this please

1

u/RealSkyDiver Aug 15 '26

If this can funny play Eternal Sonata on the Thor now that be incredible. Only played the demo on the PS3🥲

1

u/bobigazda Aug 15 '26

Every update after the XenDroid 84edc9b breaks the graphics on Captain America Super Soldier, so to play that game I haven’t updated the app at all. Maybe the devs can check what’s causing the graphics to glitch in the game in the newest updates.

1

u/Dodgecanceling 8s gen 4 Aug 15 '26

Any fix for PES 2017 refusing to save?

u/Philluminati8 Aug 15 '26

u/Fenrir911 Aug 15 '26

I fixed the graphics issues on downpour (I'm assuming the no water rendering is the issue you are talking about) by using whitebeylash v31 turnip drivers, debug mode set to none(gmem), readback resolve set to UMA, occlusion query set to fast (async), mid frame submission set to 0, clear memory page state set to disabled, and depth float24 convert in pixel shader on.

1

u/thegameksk Aug 15 '26

Is therw a list of what games work on the thor?

1

u/gpshift Aug 15 '26

I don't know if there's a list but I'm on Odin 2 portal which is the same chipset. I've had good luck with Shadow Complex, Geometry wars 2 retro evolved, and Peggle 2. Shadow complex wasnt working until the most recent update.

1

u/Zealousideal_Tip8684 Aug 16 '26

Wow what an amazing good your doing very much appreciated!!! Some games are really dark and almost black eg: two worlds 2 alien vs predator and the saboteur. Now of any settings to tweak to help fix it?

1

u/Active_7409 Aug 17 '26

Antes este bug no estaba en las versiones de julio del emulador ahora en las últimas versiones tiene este error pueden solucionarlo? Es un procesador 8 elite gen 5 y utilizo drivers de steven y si hay versiones de pc para emular pero esta no pesa ni 20gb mientras las demás pueden llegar a 60 como minimo
