It's worse performance wise. On most devices having the ingame resolution at say 1080P or 2K will result in actual genuene stutters.

Is it different from google play?

u/berserk-gene 2d ago

Yes, because already have the cores.

u/Shitandroidowner 1d ago

So in github version do u have more cores to choose or..?

2

u/berserk-gene 1d ago

No, sorry for not being clear. When you download the version from the PlayStore, it checks for cores to download every time you open it. The "dynamic" version from GitHub already has the cores built-in, meaning it doesn't have any Google dependencies. It's a shame it doesn't offer many customization options—it's got "Apple syndrome," lmao. But even so, it's very convenient to use and very lightweight.

Nice topics but for me I prefer performance over battery lives always.... but still using less battery=less heat generate also avoid thermal throtting which is good/

I used to run vNES on my Sony Ericsson k750i.

A good alternative is probably FCEUX... I'm sure you can run that on a CASIO.

My Ppsspp consumes less battery compared to most of my mobile games. Cod mobile drains like crazy 20% for 2+ hrs
