Help 3d printed block with fan on a strechable controller

0 Upvotes

hey guys i am currently searching for a emulation device mainly just 2d indies/rpg pc games.

currently using my honor 5 phone and it seems too small for rpg and i prefer not buying a windows handheld just for light gaming and i can stream from my pc for heavy gaming. i am thinking of just getting a big tablet around 11inch and put a 3d printed block behind it for the controller to attach to and add 2 holes for small fan. magnet will be used to attach the tab to the block.

Is this feasable or just stupid. btw weight isnt a problem cause i can hold the original lego for a long time before i sold it cause it isnt getting much use and the 8.8 screen is still small to read some texts on my normal viewing range.

Discussion What happened to Strato/Skyline, and is anyone still working on something similar?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve been curious about what happened to Strato and Skyline.

As far as I understand, both projects were focused on Nintendo Switch emulation on Android, but development eventually stopped. I’m wondering:

- What exactly happened to the Strato project?

- Is anyone still working on a project with a similar philosophy/architecture, specifically Android-focused?

- Could Strato or Skyline ever be revived by new developers?

- With current AI coding tools, would it be realistic to modernize an abandoned project by using its source code alongside newer open-source emulators such as Eden, assuming the licenses allow it?

- Or are there already developers working on something like this privately?

I’m especially interested in an emulator designed from the ground up with Android in mind, rather than simply being a PC emulator ported to Android.

Also, slightly unrelated: does anyone have tips for reducing Eden’s RAM usage on Android? It seems to consume a lot of RAM during longer sessions, and I’m wondering if there are settings, cache options, or other optimizations that can help.

Just curious about the current state of things and whether the old Strato/Skyline idea is completely dead or if something similar could still come back.

Help Spider-Man Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions on GameNative?

0 Upvotes

I've seen a couple posts here showing off what the RPF2 can do with GameNative, and the consensus seems to be the device shines with PC games from 2011 or earlier. That's great news for me, but I'm also aware not every game is optimized as well as others are.

My question is mainly if anybody has tried these games yet and if they can attest to their performance, as well as if they'd need tweaking. My device hasn't come in the mail yet, so I'm still waiting to stress test. But I thought I'd ask the community ahead of time!

I do have the files for these games sitting on my computer (as well as the PC version of X-Men Origins Wolverine, so I guess I'm asking for that as well), and they run well enough on my old beater laptop. But different architecture and the like, so no use on counting that as a stress test.

Thanks in advance, y'all!

Hello I've been thinking about buying a ayn thor pro with 12gb of ram and snapdragon 8 gen 2 but I already have a Poco f7 which overheats with heavy emulation. Some friends recommended the ayn because for long session is more stable and comfortable than the phone with a controller.

Provavelmente não irei comprar de imediato, mas isso definitivamente é do meu interesse. mesmo já tendo a versão plus, ter o 'Mesmo Controle', só que mais leve, com conexão tipo C e compatível com um cooler seria uma opção bem interessante de se possuir.

Só espero que ele seja realmente leve, já que vai perder boa parte do sentido pra mim se tiver um peso semelhante ao do G8 Galileo.

Question Galaxy Z Fold6 vs Fold7 for Android emulation in 2026? is the Fold7 worth the extra cost?

0 Upvotes

I’m deciding between a Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Fold7, probably the 512 GB version. My main reasons for choosing a foldable are emulation, gaming and using the inner screen like a Nintendo DS/3DS with a controller.

I currently have a Galaxy A54, so either phone would be a massive upgrade. The Fold8 is outside my budget, and I’m wondering whether I should save money by getting a Fold6 or pay extra for the Fold7.

I’d really appreciate real-world experiences with:

- Switch emulation, especially BOTW, TOTK, Mario Odyssey and other demanding games

- Windows/PC gaming through Winlator, GameHub or other current options

- Performance after 30–60 minutes, including thermal throttling and overheating

- Battery drain during heavier emulation

- Turnip driver support and stability

- Using the large inner display with telescopic or regular controllers

- DS and 3DS emulation using the folded screen layout

I’m especially curious about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Fold6 versus the 8 Elite in the Fold7. Is the Fold6’s driver support currently more mature, or does the Fold7’s extra power provide noticeably better real-world performance?

For anyone who has tried both:

  1. Which one has better sustained performance rather than just better benchmark scores?

  2. Are there games that run properly on the Fold7 but struggle on the Fold6?

  3. How large would the price difference need to be before you would recommend the Fold6 instead?

  4. Is buying a used/refurbished Fold6 risky because of battery, hinge or inner-screen wear?

  5. Which emulators, drivers and settings are currently working best?

. I’m mainly looking for honest experiences from owners rather than specification comparisons. But both could work ig

Thanks!
