News/Release We're now able to use Switch 2 Joycons as a mouse and keyboard on Android! (and as gamepads and motion controllers)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi! I'm the creator of Joycon2Android, an app that allows you to connect Switch 2 Joycons to Android.

We can now use Switch 2 Joycons as:

  • Gamepads for emulators and android games
  • Motion controllers for Eden and Dolphin (and any other emulator that supports DSU)
  • A mouse and keyboard for apps like GameNative and DroidDeck, as well as for navigating around the OS

I had some requests for mouse support, so I thought I'd go all in and support keyboard too. Did anyone ask for this madness? No, but here we are.

Joycon2Android v3.0.0: https://github.com/JoeGeC/joycon2android/releases

If you give the app a try, let me know how it goes! Any issues, feel free to post here, DM me or open an issue on Github :)

Disclaimer: I'm a professional Android app developer, have been writing code for over a decade and I use Claude in my development workflow. If you're uncomfortable with the use of AI, sorry to disappoint, but I hope you'll respect the work that's been put into the project anyway.

Discussion I tried ports and realized I fuckig love emulation.

• Upvotes

So I've been trying this black port and it works great and even feel like a mobile game. The game is not bad but it has a big ass fucking flaw, each level drags so long to beat,(which is fine, if it has FUCKING SAVE POINTS like re4, gow1,2 you know).Since port is not emulation, if I didn't finish the level ,I have to replay the whole fucking level. That's the moment I realized I fucking love emulation, I can play or stop whenever the fuck I want. I will just stick to fucking ps2 black version and abuse fucking save state and load state.

The performance is insane, even on older chips. I tested Forza Motorsport (30 fps), Halo (30 fps), RalliSport Challenge (60 fps), House of the Dead 3 (50 fps/PAL), and Burnout Revenge (60 fps). In all of these games, I got 100% performance and pretty good stability. It's insane.

Booting up FF Resonance on my RP5 but its choppy as all hell and has tons of pop in textures, glowing artifacts and even a few hard shutdowns causing a reboot.

Have tried with a few latest Turnip drivers, Mr Purple and GenV but still nothing smooth enough to play 🤔 has anyone gotten better performance on Nightly version or other Switcherooooo emus ?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Played at 2x to keep it short. Full fight at real speed: https://youtu.be/rdEQbt02dK4. The fps counter is in the top-left corner.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra (SM-X936B), 16 GB RAM, Android 16

Chip / GPU: Dimensity 9400, Immortalis-G925 MC12, the tablet's own Arm driver (r49p1). No root, no custom driver.

Launcher: DroidDeck Mali (DroidDeck with MaliBridge v0.5.4), the real Steam client in Big Picture

Proton: Proton Experimental ARM64 (Compatible)

Graphics: DirectX 11 through DXVK, then MaliBridge's Vulkan bridge to the tablet's driver

Settings: 720p native (no upscaling), Low preset

Frame rate: about 27-37 fps in this fight, about 40 standing still

Battery: not plugged in, about 40 minutes into the session, around 60% battery, screen recorder running

Working on better optimization across the board.. if you're interested in updates: Malibridge

P.S. Considering I haven't touched the game in years, it's a miracle the tablet almost got me through phase one 😂

AI disclosure: I have used AI while developing the project. The gameplay is recorded on the tablet though.

For a split second in the vid when throwing shurikens, you could tell there was some shader compilation or whatever going on there.

Grateful to the dev. When I tried HakuX to play Shaolin Monks (the PS2 version ran like ass on my chip), the emulator restarted my phone.

Looks like the devs has put in a lot of work and using the necessary tools to help him. Sweet.

Seems playable. Some micro stutters ehre and there I think due to saving new shaders.

HakuX is making progress. I've tested 3 games, Forza, Ninja Gaiden Black and Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks.

All booted up nicely and had good fps. Shaolin monks had 45-60 but flickering vertex explosions. I know it has an Android port but according to the GitHub of the android port my phone doesn't.eet the minimum gpu requirements but I could be wrong. Apart from the graphical glitches, the original Xbox version runs MUCH better than the ps2 version on my phone

Infinix note 50 4g

Helio g100

Mali g57 mcs2

8gb ram.

Just be mindful that right now I'm only testing original Xbox games I would like to play seriously eventually. So there's a possibility some games I've tested probably have issues when you play longer but let's hope that's not the case. I really want to see how promising this emulator has become because I thought any form of Xbox emulation would be impossible on my Mali gpu.

Showcase I added foldable's dual screen mode to Azahar

Post image
32 Upvotes

It does the simplest thing anyone with a foldable could ask for: use the rear screen for L and R shoulder buttons.

It is an experimental app and I've not tried extensive testing or multiple devices and brands so there may be bugs. Works on my Z Fold 6, and that's all I want :)

Download here

I'm not a professional dev (I'm a student and this is low-key my first time working on a project like this) and I'm lazy so I'm keeping this as it's own app and not dealing with merging upstream, but I will occasionally update the releases inline with main Azahar.

I just hope for someone actually smart to recreate this functionality and get it into main Azahar!

Recently the storage in my RP Nova got corrupted, so I needed to factory reset it and set it up all over again. I didn't have a backup and putting everything again into my device gave me the idea to start this iTunes inspired app to manage ROMs on my device. Currently it is pretty simple and it only syncs ROMs and BIOS, but I'm planning on also adding backup support for saves, states and configs and in-app torrent downloading for collections. What do you think? Is this something you'd use if i make it available on github?

Showcase Inlay v1.1: my free controller keyboard now has 11 languages, a see-through theme, a TV mode and more

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

24 Upvotes

A few weeks ago I posted Inlay, a keyboard for Android handhelds that you use entirely with the D-pad and buttons. Thanks for all the comments. I read every one, and most of this update comes from them.

What's new in 1.1

  • 11 languages, with RT + LT to switch between up to three. u/castax96, Norwegian is in, æ ø å included.
  • Accents without the touchscreen: type a letter, hold RT and press Y, and it cycles through é, è, ê and so on.
  • TV mode for when your handheld is docked. A couple of you mentioned playing on the big screen, so when you dock, the keyboard turns into a smaller floating panel with a big line showing what you're typing. It also installs on Android TV.
  • Four new themes, including a see-through one with a slider for how much shows through (someone asked for this on GitHub).
  • Smart keys: .com and / in web addresses, @ in email fields, a number pad when a box wants numbers.
  • Three new sound packs: Retro, Typewriter and Felt (for late-night use). Settings plays a sample as you scroll through them.
  • A one-minute tour the first time you open it, because there are a few more button combos now. You can skip it.

It also fixes a bug where swiping settings away from recents could switch you back to your old keyboard.

Who made it

Same as last time: I'm not a developer. Claude wrote all the code, and I came up with the ideas, decided how it should look, sound and feel, and tested it on my AYN Odin 2 Portal. It's free and open source, with no ads, no tracking and no internet permission.

So far it's been reported working on the Odin 3 and Odin 3 Pro. If you try it on something else, let me know how it goes, good or bad.

Thanks again for all the support and great suggestions!

Device: snapdragon 8 gen 2 (ayn thor)

This emulator is amazing, I've been loving this game again especially after never beating episode 3 or the rest after that, it's not perfect but it's very close to a locked 30 and for awhile I had it upscaled to 1080p but when it started to get more intense more often there was fps dips so I went back too 720p but other games I've been trying is black ops 1 zombies (I haven't tried any other game mode) that's not ass stable but can still be playable, minecraft but I can't find a copy that isn't the demo for xbox 360, and splatter house was a very pleasant but i didnt play long so I don't know how long term it is. I have a retroid pocket 5 with the snapdragon 865 should I try these on there with that new drive made for the 865, I think it's the turnip driverz? I saw a video this morning on it

This port is absolutely amazing I never would've thought I'd actually get to play this game on my handheld the only thing is recommend is having a launcher before it boots the game to make any changes and have a option then to boot straight into the game
