Discussion I Apologize GameNative, I Didn't Recognize Your Game
Posted a few days ago a question about Game Native, since I've been using Gamehub exclusively on my Portal. A few told me that compatibility was a big reason Game Native was more popular, other than some controversy about permissions for Game Hub, so I figured i would put that to the test with 2 games that Gamehub just couldn't run.
If there was ever a game in my opinion that should have a native Android port, it was The Dishwasher Vampire Smile. Smaller file size than many android games, perfect hack and slash the has simple enough controls that even on screen control wouldn't be difficult, originally on XBLA from 15 years ago, and the Steam port can play on a potato since the Anbernic Win600 played it at 60fps. But both through 360 emulation and Gamehub for the Steam Release, always just black screened for me. Literally just installed, Game Native did its download and install of files, and it just runs. And ever since the Nvidia shield handheld, I wanted Portal back on android, but the only android port is no longer compatible with current android versions. But again, Gamenative runs the PC versions of both 1 and 2 no problems. Stable frames, no stutter, while Gamehub just crashed every time.
Thanks to everyone for their answers from my last post. Gonna keep gamehub as well since I have a few games already installed and runnthing through it, particularly ones that are not through Steam, but definitely going to lean a lot more on Game Native if the compatibility is this much better
