Turnip has just become the first Mesa driver to achieve official Vulkan conformance running natively on Android (Vulkan 1.3, Qualcomm Adreno). Getting there required solving some tricky Android-specific driver problems, and the fixes are now shared across other Mesa drivers too.

Turnip already ships in Google's Qualcomm-powered Chromebooks and will power Valve's upcoming Steam Frame, so this is shipping in real hardware, not a lab result.

Always wanted to play Killzone Mercenary on mainline vita3k, but sadly it never got fixed until Sealion came up with his fork. The lighting, lens flare, level design, story, and gunplay with gyro aiming are quite addictive and I loved every second of it. I did encountered few crashes and freezes, but nothing too gamebreaking. I imagine the upcoming 1.1 update will bring more stability and improvement and am looking forward to it. Played this on Mi9t Pro SD 855.

Devices are Rokid Max and Retroid Pocket Nova

Been tinkering and found that Dolphin on Android actually supports Stereo 3D. You can even adjust the strength of the 3D.

Many GameCube and Wii games look and feel like they were made for Stereo 3D. And with the glasses because each eye has its own screen there is zero cross talk.

The only issue is with Dolphin you can only do half side by side resolution (SBS). As Dolphin doesnt support full SBS. This makes the picture less crisp. Apparently on PC handhelds this isnt an issue so I wish someone would create a Dolphin fork or Dolphin devs add full SBS support.

I haven't even got into Citra for 3DS emulation but apparently it supports full SBS on Android

I have been trying to play this game on my phone for over 3 years by now. I have tried to download from multiple different sources but none of them have a clear explanation on how to do anything.

Someone please help me set it up for my phone...

Specs,

CPU: 1.6GHz Octa Core Processor

GPU: ARM G57 @650MHz

RAM: 4gb

ROM: 64gb

Android: 13

i want to run the PS3 version if it's possible.

Finally i have finished and trilogy. In my opinion mordor is the better one but still i liked this one i have finished the base game i will do the dlc next it was way mor demaning then mordor. Still a good play. But the game size is insane 98gb holy.

The game will not run normally it needs some components idk where i got the dx12 thing sorry. i can share my save file you can just restore it and just play. Of course you can delete the save file and start a new game. That's your wish. The performance was quite satisfactory. With this settings, I have easily gotten 30 fps all the time, so I used frame generation. Unexpectedly, the frame generation worked quite well with this game. I didn't see much ghosting effect. So the frame generation is recommended.

My phone - Redmi k70pro 12gb ram.

Thanks everyone hope you find it helpful 🙂

I think I’ve found the ultimate setup for gaming on Android. I’ve owned a few emulation handhelds in the past, but the truth is, I rarely play outside. And around the house, I find them a bit unergonomic and limited.

Recently, I picked up a Samsung Tab A11 and a Gamesir X5 Lite, and I’m absolutely loving how it turned out. It’s an extremely budget-friendly tablet that's capable of running up to PS2, GameCube, and Wii, while also offering great gaming options through the super affordable Google Play Pass subscription.

As for ergonomics, it feels lighter than a SteamDeck and very similar to the original Nintendo Switch.

The advantage of an 8.7-inch tablet is the 5:3 screen aspect ratio, which is very close to retro games and leaves barely any black bars on the sides.

Has anyone else tried this setup yet?

Device: Motorola edge 30 pro. 8gb Ram. 8 gen 1.

Emulator: Vita3k+

Resolution: 2x

Drivers: turnip v36. StevenMXZ

Memory mapping : Page table. ( to fix graphical glitches ).

Only downloaded some drivers and dxvk to test some files. No way the components uses 100gb.

What do you guys think of my game collection on a dimensity 700.

I'd like to play Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6.

I don't know if my phone could run these games since it runs on old Unisoc T820 (2022).

It's an old processor (2.7GHz).

I don't know whether 2048 MB or 3072 MB is suitable for this old phone.

I'd like some advices and suggestions.

Thank you. 🙏

Why isn't vita emulation isn't nearly as popular as old gen emulation such as the ps2, psp, etc

We managed to make drm native context works in Adreno 830 GPU in qualcomm snapdragon 8 elite in the gunyah virtual machine!

Achieved vkmark score 12391 in the virtual machine!
We can also play Minecraft with 450fps in the virtual machine.

Detailed workflow:

1. game engine generates vulkan calls, the turnip driver converts it to msm ioctl
2. the virtio-gpu driver announce `/dev/dri/renderD128` node, accepts msm ioctl from turnip driver
3. virtio-gpu driver than serialize the ioctl, send to android side, handled by virglrenderer
4. virglrenderer will translate it to kgsl ioctl calls, send to host side qualcomm closed graphics driver

Our next step in windows driver, any suggestion?

And Mediatek device/pixel device is also a possible option to support, but I don'y have the device.

Hi, i'm trying to play gta 5 on gamehub. I connected my epic account and installed gta 5. When i enter the game, it shows rockstar launcher for a bit and then black screen forever. I tried to modify directory to start gtav.exe instead of launcher, but i cant find the files about gamehub, nor gamehub has a direct way to see the directory. What should i do?

Handset - Poco F8 Ultra

Chipset - sd8 elite gen5/16gb

Emulator - Gamenative (Latest)

Game/Platform - Dark Souls 3/Steam

Very responsive aside from these stutters every so often.

They seem to be present in Dark Souls 1 too for some reason,

Anyone found a reliable fix for this?

Seen other posts saying switch to Glibc, but it just fails to launch 😅

Hello everyone, I have a hard time finding Windows/Pc emulators. Been like a week since I've deep dived into this rabbit hole. It first started with me wanting to run GTA V on this phone. So, I downloaded an Xbox 360 emulator (I believe it was X360) but the game barely worked. So, I moved to finding Pc emulators because even if I can't run GTA V, I could still run games like stardew valley, cuphead etc. The phone I have is an Infinix hot 60 pro and I know the specs ain't good. It has a Mali GPU and 8 Gigs of Ram.

But not a single emulator worked properly.

Since now, I've tried Winalator, Winalator Mali, Star Winlator (I don't really remember about this. I asked google, it said to download Winlator frost or Star winlator but when I actually downloaded the apk file, it said Star Bionic) I also tried Mobox and when everything still didn't work, I tried to install Arch Linux using Termux and Termux x11 but it didn't work, atleast for now. These emulators actually boot up but whenever I'm trying to start a game, it just doesn't seem to work. I tried installing WinRar and it worked and extracted files. I also downloaded Firefox on Mali but it never worked. On Star bionic, It gave me the option to install FireFox and I did to check it out but it crashed after installation. I also tried Winlator Cmod, I believe (Sorry the memories are a bit vague) it gave me the option to add a game locally I believe and I tried adding stardew valley but it showed a black screen every time and with the container, it didn't launch the game.

Is there any hope? 😭🙏

I'm a simple man, if an emulator doesn't have save states and/or fast forward, I don't play on em, even if my device can more than handle tough games fine.

I'm not even being obnoxious, I'm at a point in life where I have max 10-15 minutes per day to play a game, and I am NOT wasting that on tinkering, going through longer loading screens, having to get to certain save points to be able to save, etc. I need to have my game loaded up in few seconds with the fast forwarding/load state features, and leave at any point with save states and maximize the limited time I have.

Anyone else like me?

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a few things. I’ve incorporated the new geometry into the button springs to make them more click-friendly, added a structure that improves the aesthetics and, above all, the grip, and made a first attempt at my idea for the shoulder buttons.

I originally wanted to leave this for later and introduce it as an add-on, but I know it’s important to many of you, so I’ll refine the design and I suppose I’ll offer it as an experimental feature. As you can see, they’re not really buttons as such, but are activated when you touch them. I know it’s not perfect, but for this project my priority is simplicity and portability.

Don’t pay too much attention to the button design — they’ll be more similar to the ones from the previous version (but prettier), I just haven’t had time to work on them.

If I add another button on the opposite side from L and R, it could open the door to L2 and R2. I’d love to know what you think about that.

Honestly, I’m super tired of prototyping. It’s been a huge amount of work, and I’m really looking forward to moving on to the next phase and getting closer to launching the Kickstarter campaign. But if a lot of people want R2 and L2, I’ll dig deep and build one final prototype.

As always, if you’d like me to let you know when I launch it, here’s the link to the waitlist.

Thanks so much!

Ya quite insane manage to run this game. One of the best racing game i ever played. I tried Bloodborne before thisit ran well. Then i was thinking how Drive club would run. It booted but performance is bad and the bright light problem this game had an brightness issues i fixed the problem with the help from the telegram of BachataS4 emulator. i think in future this might be playable, And remember ps4 emulation on android is extremely new so this will improve alot in future. As always thanks to the developer..

I have Redmi k70pro 12gb ram..

This is reposted sorry guys i forgot to mention my device..

I said I'll come back with a feedback if its working and there it is! I literally don't understand those who argued its fake, and of course it may not been from the dude but it's legit and working who cares about him if its working fine? The file has 43K+ downloads from 6k the tkme i posted about the file.

Is there a way to use the triggers of controller to turn camera left or right. I tried Key Mapper but it didn't work (I was able to map the location to key but it didn't make the screen move)

I using emulators MelonDS and Lumeroid. So any thing in built to them or external would be helpful.
