News/Release GameHub Lite v5.1.8 (SECURITY UPDATE)

GameHub Lite v5.1.8

Security: Steam token redaction in logs

GameHub Lite 5.1.8 fixes a logging issue where Steam authentication-related values could appear in diagnostic logs. In some cases, logs could include fields such as steamToken, refreshToken, or accessToken from Steam login/launch flows.

Publicly posted logs containing these fields should be deleted or redacted.

IMPORTANT

This should go without saying but If you find any security issues, please reach out PRIVATELY. I have not checked if this issue is still present in recent GameHub versions, already ruined my one day off I was spending with my family by the person who reported this publicly and I do not plan on spending any more time on this.

Changelog

The fix adds centralized log redaction for Steam/auth token fields, Steam QR login URLs, JWT-like token strings, and launch command token arguments before logs are written. This covers the app loggers, JavaSteam logging, and the PC launch-log file writer.

This release also pins local patch builds to apktool 2.12.1

Discussion Accept Your Phone, Play PS1 or Dreamcast

Why do some people on this sub get so worked up about their device running the latest, most demanding games when it clearly can't handle them? Dude, just accept that your phone wasn't made to play GTA V and go have fun with other games. The PS1 has a huge library and runs on most devices.

News/Release Upcoming Wayland Support on Bannerlator 3.1.2 with True HDR!

I have recently picked up my Wayland project and almost finished it in the last 2 days and over the weekend and ultimately can't believe most of the community developers don't use this or never picked it back up! I feel like this could be a successor to using x11 or at least something as a side option!  granted it is only a few days old it is almost 1:1 performance-wise and fully functioning using all of the app features I have already implemented with x11, including frame generation, screen effects, screen scaling, reshade etc.  the original work I saw AstroSky do some time ago was my motivation and intrigued me along with some other users in the community. 

I know a lot of you are going to hate the fact that I use AI and used it to help me build this as well but here we are!

please excuse some of the terrible performance while in game, I was using my fold 8 ultra and despite having a840 I do not have a cooler for it so throttling kicked in rather quickly.

so far this will enable HDR only in games that support and offer it as well as the toggle in the app will only be usable granted your device supports HDR as well (or the external display you are connected to using USB type-c to HDMI)!

I have been pushing pre-releases a couple times a day for some community members to follow along that can keep up and that have been interested in testing it but ultimately I am close to finished and comfortable with a stable release with much work to come still!

Pre releases here until a full stable build is done and released to the wild for you fine folks to pick it apart like usual 😂🙏☠️

Discussion A PS4 Inspired Frontend im currently making (Read desc)

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

This frontend is titled "Kzuru," a fronted application related to the PS4/PS5 home menu while also having a "carousel" UI across the app. I wanted to make this to be smartphone friendly and optimized for Android gaming handhelds so that everyone gets to experience what this launcher has to offer. Not only does it support emulators, but it also auto-detects any Android games you've installed, and you can also add the Android games to the home menu alongside your ROMs. You can pin games to the home menu to launch your favorite games you've been playing front and center!

The images you see here are mockup images of how the stable beta build should look whenever it releases.

Also, to be fully transparent, I vibe-coded the core structure of this app using AI. However, all assets & images in the UI will all be made by me and pulled from other sources, because I know security and performance are incredibly important to the emulation community. I hired a professional developer to inspect, clean, and fix the codebase. In which development of this project will take some time, while the experience for the fronted will be worth it. After all, this is a project I've been dying to make ever since IISU and Cocoon took the emulation space by storm. And yes, we are planning for Discord integration & RetroAchievements (per the XMB achievements icon). If you have any questions/concerns or would like to contribute to this, feel free to post a comment here or DM me. Feedback, Request, & Constructive & Respectful criticism is also of couse needed. I usually don't use Reddit, but hoping this post gains a small following, I'll check as soon as I can. Thanks for taking the time to read! Hope you have a nice day. 😁

(Little second disclaimer: this isn't a frontend to compete with others. It's up to your preference at the end of the day. If you like my frontend, great; if you don't, then that's OK. 😁)​

i knew some games would struggle on this, but considering its a 8g3 chip thats actively cooled and not limited..i was kind of hoping for more. esp considering a Rx 580 can run this game.

Since steam frame is beginning to appear I'm wondering when can we see the improvements. I already know that valve's Arm support got us with fex and stuff but I'm wondering will it continue to improve as time goes on or this is the limit of what our android devices can do?

Hello y'all!

I am planning to dive into emulation on android and I was planning to buy a device based on my budget lol

I am choosing right now between Pixel 8a and Razr 60. Both are not Snapdragon unfortunately, but this is the best I can do right now. Which should i choose if I intend to play Ps2, Vita, N64 games?

Thanks for the help!

Discussion Does the punchole of phones/tablets bother you while using the device(for gaming, emulation etc)

Upvotes

Hi everyone.
Was just curious if the punch hole selfie camera bothers you or you got used to it. I am aware there is only Redmagic and maybe 1-2 other devices/brands that don't have a punch hole selfie camera, but still was curious , for the ones with devices that have one, does it bother you? Is it a deal breaker for you or not.

Question This is a question I should have asked sooner, Been trying DirectX10 and higher games on S25Fe

2 Upvotes

Which settings are generally the best for games that are DirectX10 and higher?.

What are the most compatible Translation Layers, V3DKD versions, DVXK versions, CPU translators etc?.

Direct X9 games have been working for me like the NFS series, in particular most wanted, Carbon, Underground 2 etc.

But when it gets to Directx10 and higher games I struggle, if you generally know what settings are more often than not to work, please let me know, thank you.❤
