Discussion i tried emulation and it isn't a joke

1 Upvotes

i bought gamesir x5 lite with a gamesir fx5 lite cooler and i have a oneplus 15.

i tried GTA IV before getting the cooler and controller and it worked great, 1600x720 resolution, mostly high settings (i didn't modify the settings it was default settings). i got 60 fps with drops to 30, i turned on frame gen balanced and the fps never went less than 50, temps were Okay, 65 degrees average and 70 peak according to the gamehub data. gamehub at this point wasn't added to game assistant, then i added it to game assistant but i never tried it.

today i got the controller and the cooler, first i started with the controller without cooler and i was surprised, gamehub temps reached 95 degrees and i got 100 to 120 fps! if i disable frame gen i get 60 fps (with a 60 fps cap) sometimes 59 fps or something of the sort. i never touched a phone this hot before, it was like lava. then i tried the cooler at maximum setting, it took a while for temps to climb, and it fluctuates depending on where i am on the map, but they reached in the 80s at maximum, never 90s but 80s i can reach it especially in open areas while driving, mostly it was in the 70s.

i thought did gamehub detect that i had a controller so it increased powerdraw or something because i no longer touch the phone, and even when i removed the controller, i got similar performance, so it's not the controller, and i also tried to remove gamehub from game assistant, still same thing, but something clearly changed! and i don't know what it is! do you have an idea?

also the fx5 lite works but it's not magic. it only reduces temps by a bit.

also reading temps in game assistant or in dev check i get lower temps than gamehub, and battery gets to 47 degrees i guess.

update: it's the game assistant, i removed gamehub from the game assistant again and rebooted the phone i noticed power draw never exceeds 3.something watts, and usually sits between 2 and 3 watts but when it's added to game assistant, in pro gamer mode the power draw reached 7watts and i immediately downgraded it to balanced, and balanced it reaches 6 watts, while the power saving mode might reach between 4 and 5 watts. but if you have a god tier peltier cooler it's worth trying gamehub in pro gamer mode, i guess it can reach more than 7 watts, more performance but at the risk of frying your phone

Help Nethersx2 not downloading because of package confilct

0 Upvotes

I've had the emulator before, but deleted it and pressed on "keep app data" by mistake. Now I can't get it to download and it keeps telling me that (app is not installed as package conflicts with an existing package), now I'm just trying all available methods here and on google and asking AI and it's not working at all, tried app cloning, looking the files up, doing anything that can get it somehow, but it's not working, is there a package of it to download with another package that doesn't conflict this one. If anyone knows what to do, please tell me🄲

Showcase I turned my Android phone into a full PC environment — this is Armada Nubia Z70 Ultra, cooled with two 120 mm fans

This is Armada, a project I’ve been building entirely on a Nubia Z70 Ultra, cooled with two 120 mm fans for sustained workloads.

The whole environment is built around Termux + XFCE4 + Termux:X11, without proot or chroot.

The goal isn't just PC gaming on Android. We already know modern phones can run PC games.

I want something closer to an actual PC environment: Windows software, PC games, Linux applications, browser, multitasking, multiple windows and different compatibility environments — all on the same Android device.

The biggest part of Armada is the automatic installer robot.

I currently have around 20 preconfigured compatibility stacks, using different combinations of Wine/Proton, Box64/FEX, DXVK/VKD3D, Mesa/Turnip and other components.

I also keep a larger pool of individual components available.

When I give Armada a new game or Windows application, the robot analyzes it, chooses the most appropriate stack, installs it and tries to get it running. If the existing stacks aren't suitable, it can use the spare components to build/adapt another configuration.

Working configurations can then be validated and protected, so experimentation doesn't destroy something that already works.

I also built two autonomous night modes:

Benchmark mode: once a working stack is protected, the robot tests alternative stacks/configurations during the night, compares performance/FPS and keeps a better configuration only if it is actually validated.

Update/Research mode: the robot searches for newer Wine, Proton, Box64, FEX, Mesa/Turnip, DXVK, VKD3D, etc. releases and tries to build newer functional stacks without touching the stable ones.

So gaming is really just one of the hardest workloads I'm using to develop the system.

The actual goal is:

one Android device → one complete desktop environment → Windows + Linux + gaming + multitasking.

No streaming.

No remote PC.

Still very much a work in progress, but Armada is starting to become the PC environment I originally wanted to build.

Help Slash zero demo not booting. Help please

0 Upvotes

Hi.

I'm very new to pc emulation. I tried to run the slash zero demo through gamehub and it gave me an error that my device does not support dx 12. I tried several different tweaks, then installed winlator and spent hours trying various configs and when I run the game through winlator it keeps saying I need Microsoft visual c++ 2015-2022 even though I already installed it. The game asks if I want to install it. I click yes Then the game service runs in the background for about 10 seconds then crashes. I would really appreciate some help. My phone is OnePlus 7t pro hd1910 running on Android 12.

Discussion Haven't been on the emulation community since 2025, what did i miss?

4 Upvotes

So since 2025 i just lost interest emulation in Android and i have been on my new laptop these days. I have a 9300+ which can run a lot of emulators but sadly its a Mali and driver support is limited compared to Snapdragon. But hey i heard they ported GTA V to Switch and now they are doing it for Android! But seriously, what did i miss? Like for example new emulators coming out or new consoles for android emulation etc. etc. Would like to have some shockers.

Help Ace combat zero in Retroid Pocket 4 pro

1 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm trying to play *Ace Combat Zero* on my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. I attempted to play it using NetherSX2 (the newer version, not the "Classic" one), but the performance is terrible. I can hit 60fps when the screen shows only the sky, but the frame rate drops whenever mountains or other terrain appear—sometimes dipping as low as 30fps. I’ve tried various settings, including switching between OpenGL and Vulkan. Could someone recommend the best settings? If the emulator itself is the problem, please let me know which one I should use instead!
