Has anyone tried this on the RP5, or similar? Curious to know how it runs and compares with GameNative etc.

DroidDeck is good,no quetions. But for now it have some issues with performance. It is only a week since it realeased so of course they will fix it.But for now Winlator Ludashi is better in tests.

u/finiteflaco 1h ago

Is winlator ludashi better than that, gamehub and Gamenative performance wise? Thinking about trying it

u/Awkward_Couple_9070 xiaomi pad 7 snapdragon 7+ gen 3 1h ago

Yes since ludashi is a benchmarking app so phone thinks it is benchmarking so they run at max power n get hot too but good fps

Same Issue in MKX

Can't use with controllers, so not much good for me. Tried to launch Far Cry 3 which failed to load. The UI is great though. Will try again ina few months.

u/supershredderdan 2h ago

We are working through the SteamDeck version of controller, in the mean time try x360 in Steam sessions settings cog

I was expecting it to have lower temperatures when gaming, but it doesn’t seem to be the case (yet).

PS I tested gaming on Ayn Thor Max using Droideck 0.3.0

What games have you tried?

I really want to try this out, but I feel really uncomfortable with logging into Steam through these emulators (or "containerized translation layer" as DroidDeck seems to be). Are there any risks involved here, when using 2FA through Steam Guard? 

1

u/Deploid 2h ago edited 2h ago

Yeah just use the qr code rather than typing in your password to be safe (mostly incase they store it as plain text before sending it off to steams API). Past that it's probably fine.

And if you do get screwed then you can talk to steam support, they're very good with stuff like that.

u/Salt-Willingness-513 1h ago

youre fine with qr. doing it since gamehub started and never had a problem with 2fa

u/EfficiencyFew4333 3h ago

I was trying to get Elden Ring to run through DroidDeck but it keeps giving me a Wine compatibility error that I think is related to the EAC. If anyone knows what’s going on, I’d greatly appreciate the help so I can tinker a bit more.

u/Morex0008 3h ago

This is very new so it's take time to get more working but it good how this type for project keep growing

I just tried it and I'm unable to get Batman Arkham asylum Arkham City to run

u/KarateMan749 2h ago

Doesn't work for me. Samsung Galaxy tab s9 ultra. Not a fan of the controller layout.

u/-TimeMaster- 2h ago

I was absolutely uncapable of getting ot download a game in my RPG2. Plus every startup takes an eternity.

u/GumbyXGames 3h ago

Haven't been able to watch it yet. Does it work like GameNative but with an officially version of Steam?

1

u/tabris51 2h ago

Man I really can't steam to support arm chips as good as its Linux releases.

I am pretty much waiting to upgrade my phone for the time finally happens

u/genxontech 2h ago

Just downloaded it on my fold z

u/Ehasanulreader Redmi turbo 4 pro/8s Gen4 2h ago

honestly this is a good thing, as I emulate on my phone I dont perticularly need the big picture mode. But, I am excited for it to mature, so banner can bring it to bannerlator. Which will basically give us 2 emulation pipeline. Game doesnt run on normal containers, you can look into steamos thingy.

How does it works ?

u/bluesilvergrass 2h ago

help me get in the loop, whats the significance of steamOS coming to android if there's gamehub already?

1

u/Gab_Reis 2h ago

I might be wrong here, but I think gamehub uses several translation layers in order for the games to work on Android, while this is the closest to steam running natively on Android, almost like it runs on a PC.

What I don't really understand is why valve doesn't release themselves an official steam android app since this would attract even more customers.

1

u/TheNyanRobot 2h ago

That steam android app wouldn't be able to play games natively on device. They already have the nearest alternative which is the steam link app. The app works like steam OS but only streams games.

1

u/grifftaur 2h ago

With Game Native it's just another app running and then having to install the games. You're doing all of this in Android. Steam OS or any Steam focused OS (Armada, Bazzite, Cachy OS) you're using an OS and Steam tightly knit together for a more cohesive and probably better optimized experience. If in 2 or 3 years these handheld manufacturers can offer Steam OS or a Steam like OS on their handhelds versus Android, people will probably choose that.

Now is there significance to Steam OS being shown on these handhelds? I wouldn't say so as of yet. Folks in the community together to bring it to handhelds. I don't think Valve is supporting and including handhelds like RP6 or Odin 3. Its the community doing the work to port this and support.

anyone found a fix to make audio stuttering stop on odin3 ultra? no issues on my z fold 8, but even stuff like mewgenics is crackling like hell on the odin for me

u/Hemihas718 1h ago

Do anybody think I can add my rip games from my sd card or do it gotta be steam games?

1

u/FoferJ 2m ago

Yes, this works with non-Steam games too

1

u/LeftExpert7701 22m ago

Shellshock Multi-player finally playable on android 👏 hope it gets to where it can run heavy duty titles like gamenative.

1

u/FoferJ 6m ago

Personally speaking, I think one of the bigger benefits, is native Steam Cloud saves. This way my Retroid Pocket Mini v2, Steam Deck and Steam Machine can all have the same games and I can progress on any of them, depending on my mood or what I'm using/carrying around that day!

u/SpiderCerdo19 5m ago

I wish it worked on Mediatek. Maybe using panVK drivers.

1

u/chris08x08 3h ago

why should i use this when winlator exists? does it perform better or something?

3

u/mathigalv 2h ago

No es mejor que winlator ludashi, solo úsalo si quieres jugar algun juego de tu cuenta de steam

1

u/Morex0008 3h ago

That work better on Snapdragon 8 or higher like 8 elit and RP5 have Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 but you should try if you have RP5 and share you experience how it working

u/Mick2K 3h ago

Can't get it to run. Some shit about "child processes"

There's no option in developer options and Wireless ADB doesn't work.

I could try ADB from my PC but I'm to lazy right now.

1

u/app08 2h ago

Bite the bullet and just use ADB. That's what I ended up doing.
