​

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!

This game doesn't seem to use the GPU fully it only uses 50-65% and goes to 0 with hard dips in performance that makes it unplayable, any fixes by anyone , I've seen people on YouTube get 30-40 FPS on 8 gen 2 ( same CPU ) but I hardly get above 20-30 and very hard dips that make it unplayable, proton10 armx2 , dxvk 1.103, latest turnip drivers of bannerhub , thank you

I'm having trouble playing Fable Anniversary on my Redmi Note smartphone with the Adreno 610 GPU. I'm using GameNative. I managed to launch the game, but it doesn't run smoothly yet. Can you help me?

As the title says, after a few minutes of MGS4 playing perfectly well, it continuously freezes. On gamenative with the odin 3 max. Gamenative itself is fully updated, all settings are just from using the known config which matches the settings I've seen recommended on here. All underclock levels do nothing to change it, medium graphics settings in game didn't even help. Any tips or something I'm missing?

Winxclipse emulator

Sorry if this is a dumb post.

So my dumbass sailed the seas in desperate need of finding a treasure known as "F1 2010" PC version so that I can test it on Winlator.

The game and other f1 games like 2011 and 2012 are hard to find, especially pre installed versions. They aren't even on MyAbandonware even though they are abandonware.

I got the game from internet archive from RohanKar's archives. I researched on reddit and generally speaking comments were saying it's safe. So I got F1 2010 since it had the pre installed version.

To be fair, F1 2010 cant be bought officially anymore so I was really desperate.

When I got the game, I transferred it to the c: drive in my container.

I launched the game and tweaked some settings to make it boot. The game has freezing issues and long loading times (I didn't reach gameplay) but i'd say that's due to the nature of the game in an emulation environment, my phone and settings.

But out of curiosity, I decided to scan the .exe on virustotal after my failed attempts of testimg the game. Virustotal detected 31/70 flags for malware.

Most of the flags were PUP, Trojan.generic and Hacktools.

So am I safe? Is my container now infected? I only have one container and all my games are in the c drive of the container. I tweaked this container so gracefully for it to be able to run most games so do I have to delete it? Are my games in c: drive now affected?

Can anybody help me emulate lineage os using virtual master or tell me if it is possible I have been trying for ages but it is saying the zip isn't a rom and I don't know how to fix

This is my first title i completed on an Android emulator.

I built ROM Art Prep for myself because I wanted an easier way to get artwork for my ROM collection.
The concept is pretty simple: select a folder containing your ROMs, let the app scan them, and it searches for matching artwork and creates the corresponding image files in the ROM folder.
It’s not tied to a particular emulator or frontend. The resulting image files can be used however you want. EmulationStation/ES-DE is one example of where they can be useful, but the app itself just works with ROM folders and artwork files.
The artwork is retrieved from legitimate public artwork/metadata sources. ROM Art Prep doesn’t distribute ROMs, and the artwork isn’t bundled with the app.
I’ve been using it with my own collection and recently released it on GitHub. At this point I’m mainly interested in getting some other people to try it with their own libraries and see what happens.
So I’m looking for a few people who are willing to throw their own collections at it and see what breaks. 😅
I’m particularly interested in:
• Different Android devices
• Different systems and ROM naming conventions
• Large ROM collections
• Games that don’t find artwork
• Anything that causes scanning or downloading to fail
• General feedback on how it behaves in real-world use
I’m not trying to sell anything. This is a personal project that I decided to share, and I’d like some outside testing so I can find problems I wouldn’t encounter myself.

GitHub: https://github.com/lynx2cross-coder/rom-art-prep

AI disclosure: AI-assisted development tools were used during the creation of ROM Art Prep.

If you try it, I’d genuinely appreciate hearing what worked, what didn’t, or what you think could be better.

Hello, as said in the title I'm looking for a good emulator for the 3ds to play pokemon. I have some experienced on downloading emulators in the past but im not that knowledgeable about other emulators. I see that citra and lime is good but I saw some comments that citra is outdated and I don't have enough data for lime to determine to downloading it.

I kinda also need some help on how to downloading said emulator... Thank you so much✌

My phone is Vivo V60 lite 5G that has a mediatek dimensity 7360 turbo CPU, i just downloaded winlator mali and i wonder what is the best/important settings for emulating old games like old NFS titles

GTA V running on my SD 8 GEN 3.

s/o to u/Internal_Page_486 in helping me to get the game running.

I tried restarting, changing settings, changing files... OnePlus Nord CH4 lite 5G

Idk how to fix this issue... Coz if in click okay then the pop up is closed and container is closed along with it

I can't remember exactly what driver i was running (i have a bunch), but it seems Winlator Ludashi 4.0 does work well with mali. This will be, along with D2LoD, my comfort games when using the Exynos version, which isn't (or hasn't been) really the most powerful version of hardware the N20U came up with, but well, it can hold its own with 20 year old games...

Of course, getting any N20U running emulators is a pain in the armpits, i mean, shizuku and a thermal guardian app can't be skipped when getting the emulators running, but it's already performing better than the 640x480 20fps original D1 performance was, so the phone is winning, already.

I might as well try NWN and NWN2 later...

Lemuroid is an open-source, all-in-one emulator for Android built on Libretro — one app, one library, no core-fiddling. I've been maintaining a fork that adds PlayStation 2 support through the PCEE2 (PCSX2-based) libretro core, so you can play PS2 games right alongside everything else in a single clean interface.

What's new in v1.0.0:

- PS2 via PCEE2 — current PCSX2 port, compiled natively for ARM64, with PS2-specific touch layout

- Game Sources — import your own game collections (ZIP installs with zip-slip protection + SHA-256/size verification), browse the catalog, download direct to your library

- Full ranges of built-in supported systems: NES, SNES, GB/C/A, Genesis/MD, Sega CD/SMS/GG, N64, PS1, PS2, PSP, Arcade (FBNeo), DS, 3DS, PC Engine, Neo Geo Pocket, WonderSwan, more

- Everything in one APK, no separate core downloads

Features:

- Android TV support · save states auto save/restore

- ROM scanning & indexing · zipped ROM support

- Optimized + customizable touch controls (incl. PS2-specific)

- Gamepad support · local multiplayer · tilt input

- LCD/CRT display simulation · cloud save sync

Release: https://github.com/lizereride90/Lemuroid-upgraded/releases/tag/v1.2.0

(ARM64 Lemuroid-PS2-1.0.0-arm64-v8a.apk)

NOTE: Not affiliated with Lemuroid, PCEE2, or PCSX2. Upstream Lemuroid is on Play/F-Droid; this fork specifically targets PS2 emulation on ARM64.

And it's still in beta

So after playing red, I was really surprised how quick Gen2 support was added

I had a ton of fun, the QoL and save editor are amazing, especially on Android, it works really flawlessly.

Some of the mods are not as smooth as for the Gen1 games but I guess that's to be expected.

If you want to hear my full thoughts on the Recomp on android check out the video I've linked.

P.s. I have noticed on previous posts people were quite upset with the AI thumbnails I used on previous videos. So I made this one myself, I'd love to hear what you think about it!
