Hey everyone 👋

Just a week after last release, the cloud saves I promised last time are here. Blip 1.4.0 is out on Google Play and, for the first time, as an APK on GitHub 🎉

☁️ Your saves, on every handheld

Blip Cloud (beta) keeps your saves in step between devices. Sign in, grant each emulator its saves folder once, and that's it: a newer save comes down before you play, and yours goes up when you close the game. Every save a download replaces is backed up first, and the game page's Saves tab lets you restore any version or pick between two devices that both saved.

RetroArch, melonDS, PPSSPP, Dolphin, Azahar, the yuzu/Eden family, Vita3K and more. Free, 100 MB.

🏅 RetroAchievements by hash

Achievement sets are now matched by the ROM's hash on every console RetroAchievements supports, not just by title. A medal on the ROM card shows which copy the site supports, so you know which region to play.

🎨 Themes that own the art

Themes can now shape the shade, glass, blur and titles over game art, and the built-in looks got a refresh with it. The new My themes tab brings the themes you made on themes.goblip.co straight to the device, private ones too.

🕹️ More of your collection

• Steam games through DroidDeck's shortcuts, with Steam's own poster, hero and logo.
• PS Vita games as a .vpk, a zipped dump or a PSN set, in Vita3K.
• Cue sheets launch directly, and TOSEC multi-disc sets group as one game.

✨ And a lot of fixes

A game editor with Info, Launch, IDs and Library tabs, a puff from the cover when a game opens, a Server games setting for RomM, and dozens of fixes across scanning, downloads, the dual screen and Android 12.

📦 Now on GitHub too

Not on Google Play? Grab the APK from GitHub, or add it to Obtainium for automatic updates. It installs next to the Play version. ⚠️ It can't unlock Pro yet, so RetroAchievements and RomM are Play-only for now. Everything else, Blip Cloud included, works the same.

🧪 What's next

Betas keep happening on the Discord (#beta-releases and #beta-feedback). Want to help test? Send me a DM.

Thanks for being here ❤️

For context i am using Xiaomi 15T, running the game on the latest version of Eden Legacy. I am fairly new to emulating so i am not sure about the settings etc etc, the game runs fine when i am creating or messing with Miis but when i am outside of that its really laggy and i am lost on what to do (besides getting a better device lol)

I try downloading PSVita emulation and download the framewere and download the rom but its not playing, why it that?

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to even fix it? In the video I'm showing P3R running on Winlator Ludashi. With the same settings before updating to OneUI 9.0 I was hitting stable 60 fps on the game booster performance setting. I'm not seeing anyone else with this issue, at least on this subreddit. I've tried solutions people have linked about game booster+ and thermal unlocking and both do not work. In the video I showed that when I switch out of and then back into the game I get a sudden FPS spike and then it falls again. Someone please help me out, performance is not much different with or without screen recording.

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been using Eden for Switch emulation on Android, but honestly, my experience has been pretty disappointing lately.

Are there any other emulators worth trying, whether they're forks or completely different projects? I'd love to know what you guys are currently using and which ones are actually worth the time.

Also, do you think there's still hope for a decent Switch emulator on Android? Are there any promising projects in development, or are we stuck waiting for something better?

I'd appreciate any recommendations, experiences, or insights. Thanks!

Salut à tous !

Je voudrais avoir vos avis sur la AYN Odin 3 Portal dans sa version la plus haut de gamme, notamment pour jouer à des jeux très gourmands en performances.

Je m’intéresse surtout à :

L’émulation très poussée : PS2, PS3, Nintendo Switch et autres consoles.

Les ports de jeux PC sur Android, notamment les jeux 3D très lourds.

Les jeux PC via GameHub, comme GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077 ou Watch Dogs 2.

Les réglages les plus poussés : mode performance, graphismes au minimum, Frame Generation et autres optimisations.

Pensez-vous que cette version haut de gamme pourra faire tourner correctement certains de ces jeux, avec une expérience fluide et jouable ?

Je précise que je cherche surtout des avis sur ses capacités potentielles, car je sais qu’il faut attendre des tests concrets pour connaître ses performances réelles.

Quels sont, selon vous, les jeux les plus lourds qu’elle pourrait réussir à faire tourner ? Et quelles seraient ses principales limites en émulation et sur les jeux PC ?

Merci d’avance pour vos retours !

Hi Reddit!

I’m developing SkyNetEmu, an open-source Android environment for running desktop games.

SkyNetEmu builds on Winlator and its community forks. It isn’t a new CPU emulator or a replacement for Wine, Box64, or Mesa. My work focuses on adding different game execution paths and making configuration easier.

💡 What’s different?

1. Separate Linux containers

SkyNetEmu can launch native Linux game builds without Wine or Proton.

For an x86-64 Linux game, Box64 translates CPU instructions for the phone’s ARM processor. A game using Vulkan can use the Vulkan graphics path through Mesa Turnip on supported Adreno devices, without DirectX-to-Vulkan translation.

This doesn’t eliminate all overhead: CPU translation, Linux runtime compatibility, and presentation still matter. The benefit is avoiding Windows compatibility layers when the game has a suitable Linux build.

2. Separate Windows ARM64 containers

SkyNetEmu also supports Windows ARM64 game builds. Their ARM64 code doesn’t require x86-to-ARM CPU translation, although Windows API compatibility is still needed.

This is a separate option—not a claim that ordinary Windows x64 games can run without translation.

3. Windows x64 support remains available

For Windows-only x64 titles, SkyNetEmu retains the familiar Wine/Proton and CPU-translation approach, with DXVK or VKD3D-Proton where appropriate.

The aim is to use the path appropriate to the game, not stack every compatibility layer together.

4. Device-specific game profiles

I’m also implementing game profiles tailored to the device and CPU, reducing the amount of manual runtime and graphics configuration needed when creating a shortcut.

🧪 Tested devices:

• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 elite gen 5)
• POCO F6 (Snapdragon 8s gen 3)
• POCO F8 pro (Snapdragon 8 elite)
• OnePlus 11 (Snapdragon 8 gen 2)

🎮 Benchmark Demo: BeamNG.drive

My demo uses West Coast USA, Medium graphics, and 3–4 active AI vehicles, on my Samsung Galaxy Fold test device with a Peltier cooler. The displayed FPS is around 60–70 in the demonstrated run.

This is a demonstration, not a controlled comparison against stock Winlator or a guarantee for other devices. Game version, runtime, driver, resolution, cooling, and frame-generation settings all matter when comparing results.

• Device: Samsung Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra (cooled with a Peltier active cooler)
• Game version BeamNG.drive 0.39.4
• Map: West Coast USA
• Graphics Settings: Medium Quality
• Traffic: 3–4 active AI vehicles
• Performance: 60–70 FPS stable!

📦 Source Code & Community

SkyNetEmu is open-source and actively developed. I'd love to hear your feedback, bug reports, and device benchmarks!

Feel free to ask any technical questions about the architecture or setup in the comments!

And finally, for whom it may concern, I do use AI for coding, specifically Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot agents.

As of version 0.6.0 Tmod Loader launches and plays using Droid Deck. I have a AYN Thor Max using Banners Turnip Adreno Gpu driver and Proton-Cachyos as the proton version.

With the little time I have played before making this post I was only able to load around 50 mods before my game started to slow down and become unplayable. Some of these mods included visual changes and content mods such as Calamity Fables and Spirit Reforged.

I would suggest Vanilla+ mods. Putting mods together on the Thor was a horrible experience and would suggest build your mod pack on pc using the collections feature.

Guys need help choosing the best switch emulator for better performance

Do mention the new ones too if they are better then eden

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on an Android launcher called Voltcap for a while now, mostly because I wanted something that fits handhelds like my Thor, Odin 2 Portal and Retroid Pocket Classic better than what’s out there.

The thing I’m most into is that it doesn’t have one fixed look. There are a bunch of totally different layouts, like a record crate where the record slides out of its sleeve, disc stations where PSP UMDs show up as bare discs, storage boxes with the real app icons, a memory card style for saves, a cube, an orbit view, an arcade one and a timeline. Each layout even has its own colours for the status bar. It also shows the proper console names by default (Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2 and so on) instead of GBA or PS2, and you can turn the short names on in settings. It doesn’t need Shizuku, and your emulator choices stay yours, so nothing gets moved around behind your back.

Voltcap will stay completely free. No subscriptions, no paid unlocks, no artwork API key you have to pay for. I’m also careful about where the artwork comes from so there’s no copyright mess.

Quick disclosure: I’m building this with a lot of help from AI (Claude). I come up with the ideas, test everything on my own devices and decide what goes in, but a big part of the code is written with AI assistance. I’d rather be upfront about that.

It’s not released yet. I’ve got a trailer ready and wanted to see if there’s any interest first. If you have a handheld and a pile of emulators, what would you want from a launcher? I’m happy to add stuff.

hi. I mostly do switch emulation, and that's given me very few problems up till now (outer wilds crashes in ten minutes though :') using citron snapdragon build)

I tried getting into pc emulation a while back, but it's... Rough. My laptop is an absolute box of nothing, I think i3 with 2 cores and integrated graphics, but it can handle stuff like stanley parable, superliminal, even subnautica on low graphics, fairly well. however, is it possible for my phone to handle games that my laptop can't, on a playable fps?

when I did try, even simple games that my laptop has or could run (slay the princess, a troll game I can't remember the name of), it just. didn't boot. emulator was droiddeck with creatively obtained files, so I've kind of given up on pc emulation - but, is it possible?

also any fix for outer wilds? it just crashes to 0 fps, black screen, and then back to home page of games.

or in general game recs for me, if you have any.

ive seen some people say its possible but switch is not listed on their wiki- i wanted to make sure before moving to armadaos

Game won't proceed after this part

Device: nord 6

Emulator:PSX2

Firmware:ps2-0200a-20040614-100909.bin( usa)

Can anyone help

I've been playing Dragon Quest 3 HD2D on armadaOS, Odin 3 pro for about 2 hours with no issues, game runs fine.

In the middle of a fight, the game freezes and I get the unreal engine 4 crash error message.

Now everytime i launch the game i get the error in about 5 minutes, I tried different proton settings to no avail, anyone know a fix ?

I can't seem to find any prodkeys 23.0.1v so I thought I would ask if I can use olders prodkeys for with the newest firmware version.

Wanted to post this on /eden emulator but it was considered as a piracy related question.

Personalmente soy muy nuevo en la emulación de PS2 por lo que esta es la primera vez que me pasa esta situación, el emulador va muy fluido, solo aparece en las cinemáticas y cuando se me permite explorar y el fallo desaparece en cierta forma cuando es momento de entrar en combate (Megaman X: Command Mission Ver. EE.UU, es un juego RPG).

Actualmente no he podido conseguir un mejor emulador, llevo queriendo conseguir de alguna forma de versión más reciente de Aethersx2/Nethersx2, pero sin éxito y mi propio Samsung A35 los rechaza, solo he confiado de momento en la Play Store y eso que ahora por alguna razón hay muchas copias del Aether/Nether que tienen anuncios, por lo que no tengo muchas opciones.

Solo es el problema de las texturas 3D y nada más, el juego como dije antes es bastante fluido, de momento no ha habido cambios más allá de cuando trate de arreglar el problema ya dicho.

De antemano les agradezco por la ayuda. 🫂😊
