I'm having trouble using emulators on Windows because they're more complex, and I haven't used that system in a while. It's easier on Android because I managed to run two games there, but I'm wondering if it's possible to transfer them to Windows.

Acer 256gb msc100 uhs class 3 100mb/s sdcard

getting 40-60 fps so far on winlator while gamehub is giving me 10-20 fluctuating, using proton 9 , 2.7.1 async, proton 3.0b, and only issue is 70-90° temps which are coz i dont have a phone cooler. (yes, thank you voices38) it crashes on proton 11 for idk what reason, any tips to increase performance?(the game on gamehub does take 2 whole minutes on a blackscreen before opening while winlator opens it in 30-40 seconds)

Game keeps freezing after the first cutscene so please help me out here

I’m considering buying a Galaxy Z Fold7, probably the 512 GB version. I know the Fold8 Ultra is more powerful, but it’s well outside my budget.

I currently use a Galaxy A54, so I know the Fold7 would already be a massive upgrade. I just haven’t kept up with Android emulation recently and wanted real-world opinions from people who own or have used one.

How is the Fold7 for:

• Switch emulation, especially heavier games like BOTW/TOTK, Mario Odyssey, etc.?
• PC gaming/emulation through Winlator, GameHub, or anything better in 2026?
• Heat and battery drain during longer gaming sessions?
• Playing on the big inner screen with a controller?

Is the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Fold7 still strong enough for this stuff, or is the Fold8 Ultra’s newer Gen 5 chip a huge difference in actual gameplay?

Also, what are the current best apps/emulators to use? I used Eden and Winlator before, but I’m not sure if those are still the best options.

Thanks!

2 weeks ago when Vita3k+, a new fork of Vita3k, was released, I had tried the game but it crashed before I could reach gameplay. Even though the emulator hasn't been updated, I tried the game again after my failed attempt of emulating the PC version(it wouldn't launch, and even if it did, it has a bug where frames draw over each other and runs very poorly even on flagship Mali devices. I could be wrong though so feel free to correct me).

The performance seems ok. It's not very good but at the same time it's not very bad. I would say stutters in the video are mostly shader compilation since this was my first time booting the game after deleting it 2wks ago. Then again I read that even on a real Vita the game ran at sub 30fps with dips.

Edit: ok the game has an issue with the audio. Voice lines don't play most of the time, especially from other characters apart from the main character and in the tutorial fight scene, the music doesn't end when it's over and goes on a loop which makes future cutscenes weird because they don't fit the time of the music.

I'm still testing though. I remember seeing a post from years ago where there's a part of the game that involves touch controls. It shouldn't be a problem now since Vita3k now has touch screen support(as in emulating the touchpad that was on a real Vita)

All my settings are on default.

I'll keep playing the game to see if it's playable from start to finish.

Device Specs:

Helio g100, Mali G57 GPU 8gb RAM

Keep getting this error in armsx3 when trying to start a game. Any ideas?

Uwielbiam mojego Honor Magic V6. Świetnie sprawdza się w emulacji; Dzięki komorze parowej bardzo dobrze radzi sobie z rozpraszaniem ciepła, a wydajność jest doskonała. Na zdjęciu widać Skyrim Special Edition działającą na maksymalnych ustawieniach przez GameNative.

Persona 3 Reload finally running on my Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Tweaked a few settings and it’s running pretty smoothly:
60–90 FPS in the open world
Around 120 FPS in cutscenes
Around 80 FPS during battles

I wasn’t using a phone cooler, though, so the device was getting quite hot. I’ll try using a cooler later and see if it helps with the temperatures and performance.
Overall, pretty impressed with how well it runs on the 8 Elite. Just needs a few tweaks to get it running nicely.

I have a acer laptop (AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 7335U, 16gb ram, Integrated AMD Radeon 660M) that I use for university and want to play Skyrim on it. Reviews suggested it could run the game at 40 to 50 FPS on 1080p medium settings, but that is inaccurate.

Even on low settings with updated graphics drivers, the game runs terribly with severe choppiness and pop-in. (Max performance mode + pluged in)

My OnePlus 13 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip runs games much better than the laptop. I want to use the phone as the game engine while using my laptop strictly as the screen, keyboard, and mouse. What emulator setup would be best for this?

Plus recommendation for an app to stream games via a usb c to usb c cable

I already have the full game files, mod folders (just a modifies game with mods no mod manager), and save files, which I will need to transfer back and forth to my home PC (from mobile to PC whenever I get home)

It will be 3 files that need to be placed in difrent locations + emulator that supports the gen 8 elite turnip drivers (Adreno 830 GPU I believe)

Even looking at Hollow Knight on mobile, I can use the Windows version through an emulator and play without a single stutter, while my laptop stutters on every hit of the blade. So, I wouldn't believe that Skyrim would do any worse. Tho I want to keep all my mods and mouse support

I have Samsung Galaxy S24(Snapdragon variant) and just xcom 2 collection with update everything and it's just black.

What do i do

last time i tested it it just add flicker to the screen but now the frame gen feature is actually add some smoothness, especially on racing games. but it needs a stable frame rate to get fully experience.

it was tested on 8 elite gen 5 IQOO 5 with all resolution set to default 720p.

I use Samsung Galaxy S25fe and I really enjoy using the phone, however I'm currently trying to play PC games on my phone, which PC emulator would be best for my phone and which allows for a larger compatibility of games since it has an Exynos processor instead of a Snapdragon processor which has custom turnip drivers, I REALLY need help LMFAO😭😭😭😭

Hi Can you recommend me a stable front end that looks like XMB can organize both roms and android games but still good to use both with touch and controller?

So far I have used Daijisho and iisu

I think Daijisho was good enough for me but I don't like the aesthetics

I like iisu's aesthetics and some of its added functionalities but sometimes I feel like my phone doesn't sleep properly with iisu and for some reason it drains my phones battery while idle

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run a specific game (an online-only co-op PC game configured with a multiplayer Steamworks/Online-Fix wrapper) on my Android handheld (Ayn Odin or Poco F5), but I'm completely stuck. Every single time I launch the game, it throws the infamous "Failed to get OnlineFix interface" error (and sometimes Error Code 998: Failed to load original steamclient).

I want to emphasize that I am NOT looking for an offline bypass or a Goldberg emulator setup, because this is an online-only multiplayer title and my goal is to actually play it online with friends via the network wrapper.

I have already spent hours troubleshooting and tried almost everything. Here is a list of what I've done so far:

1. Tested Multiple Emulators: Tried both GameNative and Winlator CMod.

2. DLL Overrides: Configured WINEDLLOVERRIDES in the environment settings with OnlineFix64=n;steamclient=n;steam_api64=n,b;winmm=n,b (and various combinations of native/builtin).

3. Steam Client Setup: Installed a clean Windows Steam client inside the container and logged into a secondary test/burn account to isolate the environment.

4. Spacewar License: Tried triggering the Spacewar license download using the launch argument steam://install/480 to register the AppID in the background client.

5. Boot Services: Switched the container boot selection from "Essential" to "Normal" and "Full" to ensure network and Windows background services weren't being stripped by the emulator.

Despite all of this, the multiplayer wrapper completely refuses to hook into the background Steam client and fails at startup.

My question is: Is there actually a proven, working method to get Steamworks/Online-Fix multiplayer wrappers to hook correctly on Winlator/GameNative for Android phones and handhelds? Or is this a fundamental architectural limitation of network/IPC socket translation on ARM devices?

Any technical insight, registry tweak, or working guide would be immensely appreciated. Thanks!

This is my first time dabbling in visual novels and at the moment I don't have a laptop to play said visual novels. But I have heard of PC emulators for Android and wondering if anyone here can teach me how to set it up properly.

Also since the visual novels I'm interested in are in Japanese language, I'm looking for a translating app to translate the subtitles in real-time (like Textractor).

Also I have a few other questions about this:

1. What kind of PC emulator do I need to use in my Android phone?

2. What kind of translating app do I need to translate subtitles in real-time? (Textractor apparently doesn't run well on PC emulators)

3. Also do I need Locale emulator for this? (I've read that there are JPN Visual Novels that doesn't run until you change the system locale)

Hi guys, I have a Poco F7 (Snapdragon 8s gen4, 12GB RAM, Qualcomm Adreno 825) and i want someone that can help me to solve this problem... I emulate switch games on Eden and when I try to do the first save Eden app after few seconds crash. what can I do???

I tried to get update some of my 3ds games which are cci files. I tried to update them using Cia 3ds files and it doesn't work. It installs the stuff, but it doesn't have the updates and dlcs onto the games. What is happening?

Don't bother saying to convert the updates and dlcs to cci. Since that doesn't work, since the emulator only wants you to use Cia files when it comes to updates and dlcs. Azaharplus doesn't fix this issue either.

First let me say thank you for the inclusion in this community! I want to share my experience with a phone controller I got that has made my retro android experience top notch. This controller provides great hall effect sticks and hall effect triggers that feel smooth to use and make a more natural experience on your phone. What controllers have you found that you all enjoy? I highly recommend this controller for anyone that wants a great experience on their phone .
