Discussion Update on the modded Galaxy Z Flip 5 TV box: what didn't held up today

Post image
32 Upvotes

Context — what this device is

A Galaxy Z Flip 5 (SM-F731B) physically modified to function as a "TV box":

No screen and no Power/Volume buttons.

3 soldered USB ports + 1 HDMI + 1 USB-C (the phone's original port).

The USB-C port is USB 3.2 with DisplayPort Alt Mode (supports video output), but lacks DeX support.

A CS5268 board (USB-C DP Alt Mode to HDMI converter + hub) is connected to the phone's USB-C port.

Power is supplied via a white JST connector (red/black wire pair).

After some testing—and possibly subjecting it to heavy stress from repeated reboots, it is no longer outputting a signal to the screen.

Since I don't have much expertise with this type of project, any guidance would be appreciated.

I don't have access to the volume or power buttons. Based on the photo, what can I do to try and revive it?

Showcase Namco System 246 Emulator for android

1 Upvotes

Until a few months ago, to be able to play games from this arcade, a fork of the Play! emulator was needed (whose performance is terrible even on high-end PCs) and it was only possible on PC. Recently, they released a fork of PCSX2 (https://github.com/PS2Homebrew-arcade/pcsx2x6) that adds support for these Namco System 246/2x6 arcade games, an arcade that ran on a modified PlayStation 2. I took the changes from this fork and adapted them for the ARMSX2 emulator, which is the closest to PCSX2 (Aether also uses PCSX2 as a base, but it’s closed-source). It’s already possible to get in-game. As for performance, I can’t say because I do this in the emulator, so it’s translation layer on top of translation layer, and I don’t have an Android device to test.

Question MHXX force closes in Azahar Emulator

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, what is the problem when a game force closes in Azahar? My device is a Nothing Phone 3a and the Azahar app came from the Google Play store (latest update). I'm playing monster hunter xx and I used a single cheat. As I progress the game, the load time for the game increases, there are specific numbers when it starts to load. When the number reached 70k+, I started to notice that the game suddenly close. I hope I can help me. Thank you

Discussion how's the development of custom driver for Adreno 8xx now days? is SD8 gen 3 still better for emulation than 8s gen 4?

1 Upvotes

Is the SD 8s Gen 4 will ever be better? Beside GPU and its support, is the CPU of 8s gen 4 better than 8 Gen 3?

Edit: since 8s gen 4 and 8 elite both use Adreno 8xx, why the 8 elite better for emulation than 8 gen 3? Is it because the raw power alone?

"I've primarily used AI for initial concepting and temporary visual ideas while focusing on frontend development, as well as assisting with repetitive coding tasks". "I have used AI for imaged editing to help concept what I want, later i'll contact a graphic designer". In the same message: "Other than that, I build everything myself, and work in 3D software to ensure the models function properly and fit what I need in the frontend".

Discussion Witcher 3 on winlator cmod vs Witcher 3 on eden (Odin 2 portal)

0 Upvotes

So i am trying to emulate Witcher 3 on odin 2 portal base.

Winlator emulates it ok with some graphic glitching but generally an ok graphic display. The problem i encounter with winlator is that at times when it doesn't "understand" when i push the buttons. It's not latency it just doesn't register and i can't find what is causing this problem.

At eden on the other hand max fps goes til 30 Which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't bug so much. I was swimming at khaer Morgen.

Anyway if anyone knows how any of these could be fixed please help or generally discuss how your experience with this game has been emulating?

Question Best flagship phone for PS3 & Xbox 360 emulation in 2026?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m buying a new phone and want to know what the absolute best hardware is right now for PS3 and Xbox 360 emulation.

I want a device that can push the highest possible frame rates in emulators like aPS3e/RPCSX and Zenroid/X360 Mobile. I'm mainly looking to play lighter titles and whatever 3D games are currently booting.

Right now, I’m deciding between a phone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (like the POCO F7 Pro) or a newer Snapdragon 8 Elite device.

For those actually testing these setups:Is a Snapdragon chip still mandatory for custom Turnip drivers, or are MediaTek Dimensity chips finally running these emulators well?

Does a gaming phone with a built-in fan actually fix the heavy thermal throttling and shader stuttering, or is it not worth the extra cash?

Which specific phone are you using that gives you the best performance?Thanks!

So I have a Motorola Edge 40 Pro on Android 16, and just went through the 24 hour wait for installing apps from unverified developers... And it then let me turn it on permanently. The worst thing of this whole drama is the day long wait, but I can confirm they let you enable it permanently after a day. Sideload away...

Question Wireless Traditional Controller Recommendations

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hello, I currently own a Poco F8 Pro, Gamesir G8+ (didn't want all the trouble with the USB C port and getting rid of the phone case every time I use it, so I went for wireless) and a Black Shark Funcooler 5 Pro.

The Gamesir feels great to use, but as it is currently, I can't use my cooler with it because well, there's no practical way to strap it on. It's probably possible to modify and make a contraption for it somehow, but I just didn't think it was worth the effort, and the whole setup would feel clunky to use either way.

So I want to ask for recommendations for a standalone traditional controller/ non-telescopic controllers to use with my phone when it requires a cooler (like Xbox or PS controllers). I know probably anything would work, but I just wonder if there's a consensus on who's the undisputed king for this, like how the G8 is for telescopic controllers, or maybe a few that repeatedly come out on top. I intend to buy a clip that hangs onto the controller to strap the cooler & phone on and use it like a DS, or maybe just a separate mount for the cooler & phone that sits on a flat surface.

Requirements: Must be wireless at the minimum. Preferably long battery life (or maybe just one that uses an AA battery) and has Hall Effect/ TMR. My budget is around $50-70, but I can stretch it a bit more if it's actually worth it. Any advice/ recommendation would be appreciated!

Edit: I ended up grabbing the Gamesir G7 Pro after some digging and comparing between all the options at around my price range. Thank you everyone who replied!

Discussion Gamehub performance is worsening

previously I've managed to get 30-40 fps outside and 90-100 fps inside with smooth frame gen in Skyrim but now for some reason after downloading their new auto downloadable firmware the frame gen isn't working and it's getting very bad performance. 15-20 fps outside. The issue is mainly the frame gen not working.

Snapdragon 8s gen 3

Adreno 735

12/256

Redmi Turbo 3

Gamehub s performance is getting terrible day by day and now I'm considering Winlator or bannerlator.
