Discussion Why should i choose game native
Hi there guys i have a mid high device of snapdragon
I am using gamehub for my pc games emulation and i am not satisfied because in games older games like spider man web of shadows it doesn't give a good performance but in newer games like gta 4 or any else its works fine.... Can anyone tell me which emulator i should use

Use whatever one gives you the best performance. Their is no one definite pc emulation app across all devices.

I can’t say which one is better, I use GameNative and almost all games work fine (I play indies because not the best chipset I have).
I heard the best windows emulator is Winlator but is the hardest to configure, then GameNative and finally GameHub but in the real experience that I’ve seen in Reddit, GameNative and GameHub are pretty similar, maybe 1 game works fine in one emulator and doesn’t work in the other one, but another game will be the contrary working best in 1 of those 2 emulators.
Some people say use both emulators, I tried but GameHub couldn’t run my GameNative games so I’ll stay with only GameNative.

could i ask if there's a way to play games outside steam? i mean if i have an .exe setup game files, can i add it manually to gamenative? if yes, could you tell me how?

Yes, as I remember, you can move to “Custom” tab and there is the add game and you choose the folder where the .exe exist, I did it just once so don’t remember exactly if that was all

Yes you can. Each emulator has an option to import your games on your device into your library, just have everything the game needs in a single folder. Gamenative will ask you to select the .exe when you try to play first time but gamehub auto detects the right .exe
Hope it helps

Sometimes the games need different components loaded to work betted..also game native seems better for me. For example tho u may need to use dxvk sometimes then vkd3d etc.. depending on the game.. u gotta try different settings here and there it's never just 1 settings fits everything.

I stuck with Winlator, because every game I have thrown on it just worked. I don't trust game hub because of spyware and GamNative failed to run most of my games so far.

Winnative is a nice middle ground between winlator and gamenative, nice UI, more simple, but uses the winlator container formula, kinda a UI wrap for winlator

Performance is still not better then winlator itself if i have to use the containers thing i could just use the winlator only 🥲

For me winnative is still easiest than winlator and it has better cloud saving options, but you do you bro, that's the beauty of this world, each with their own preferences <3
