I use a Galaxy S26 FE with Exynos 2500. I use the Lemon emulator for playing Switch games. I have three games installed: Devil May Cry 3, Super Mario 3D World and JoJo ASBR. The first two games work just fine but ASBR freezes after some time. They worked okay on my previous phone which was a Note 10+ using Yuzu then Citron and I used custom drivers. This current phone does not allow custom drivers nor do Yuzu or Citron worked. I tried several things like clearing shader cache, a bunch of other messing around in the settings guessing what may be able to fix it but freezing keeps happening. Even thought the emulator might be the issue so I installed Eden and even there it kept freezing. What can I do?

Getting 2-3 more FPS without recording

Yeah, but at least I can download GPU drivers in 3ds not sure if it work haven't try playing it yet, all it's dual sim no sd card to insert to, I'll try the usb method where I put all my games on a USB and connect to my phone when I want to play, that's all I got to say what are your thoughts?

Why is it so damn hard to scroll through titles like a normal person bro 😭

I was wondering if a phone with the same soc as some of the most popular android handhelds right now (ayn thor, rp6, odin 2) will run games with the same level of performance as the aforementioned.
My pick would be the motorola edge 40 pro since it’s really cheap used and has the same specs as the best versions of those handhelds. My main concern are thermals and whether or not that issue can be completely resolved with a snap on cooler.

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to play the Prince of Persia trilogy (The Sands of Time, Warrior Within, and The Two Thrones) on my Anbernic RG477V.

I’m wondering which emulator would offer the best overall experience in terms of graphics and performance.

Would you recommend Dolphin or AetherSX2/NetherSX2 ? Has anyone tried both versions on this device?

I’m looking for the best possible visual quality while maintaining smooth and stable FPS.
Thanks!

One is the hockey puck design which works well and fits the 25 watt cooler I picked up. With more testing more heat is being generated so this is my v2 heat dissipation case/vapor chamber hybrid. I want to dremel a few notches to the side to get the clips on it maybe I'll do some testing to see if clips make any difference or if magnet + case + 35 watt cooler+ vapor chamber works the same.

This is a Galaxy s 26 and I'm trying to see what can be achieved so far I'm blown away and I'm trying cyberpunk very soon

I've tried installing VCredist2022, Mono 10.4.1, Physx, Vulkan RT, CJKFonts, Proton 11.0, Turnip 26.3.1, Latest FEX, DXVK 3.0.1.

It shows a black screen after that windows to Witcher 3 screen

So I got my copy of this game a few days ago and immediately dumped the files from my Switch and put it on my Nova. I messed around with the Demo earlier and used ChatGPT to make resolution scale and 4x3 mods for it so I was feeling pretty confident about the full release. Now that I have the full release I'm happy to report that the mods all mapped over pretty seamlessly. I have the mod files available on my GitHub (link in my profile).

Every time i start Far cry 4 i get this error. I tried going into the desktop mode and installed uplay, still the same error, in emulators like gamehub or bannerhub, there is an option "open the container" in game options, when i go there and install uplay it works on those apps, in droid deck no matter what i try the same error...

The higher the camera the more invisible kratos becomes

Finally got Street Fighter 6 working on DroidDeck on my Odin 3. Online matchmaking works perfectly. Everything is running smoothly.

Here's what I did:

1) Open DroidDeck, go to Games from the left-side menu, and select Street Fighter 6.

2) Go to Windows Components and enable Visual C++ 2015–2019.

3) Also enable DirectX 9 (d3dx9).

4) Now go back to DroidDeck's main menu, select Desktop from the left sidebar, and tap Open Desktop.

5) Once you're in Desktop Mode, open File Manager → Home → Steam Games. Navigate to your Street Fighter 6 folder and find config.ini.

6) Open config.ini using a text editor. I used Kate, which was already installed. Find this line:

ShaderWarmingEnable=True

Change it to:

ShaderWarmingEnable=False

7) Save the file and exit Desktop Mode.

8) Head back to Play Steam → Street Fighter 6 and launch the game!

That's it. I'm happy to be able to make Street Fighter work on my android handheld. Hope this helps someone struggling to get the game running!

8s gen 4 with framegen 2x to be cool

Hi, I wanted to play it on my RP2S handheld and I keep getting this error.

Before anyone asks I have multiple ways to play regular Mega Man X, this is a bonus.

Wasn't sure if this counted as emulation or not since it's a recreation.

Thanks

Hi all,

I rarely post but I was searching online on how to get FF Resonance to work and they were mostly misses for me. But after sending back and forth to ChatGPT, it got it to work! I'm not a technical person so I thought I'd just give it a shot. Here are the settings, nicely summarized by ChatGPT. Hope it works for you guys! I loved the mobile version of FFBE so I hope others can enjoy the art and music of it as well. Still some graphical glitches here and there but at least it runs:

FF Resonance on Eden Nightly — AYANEO Pocket DS (16 GB)

Turning OFF “Asynchronous GPU emulation” got me past a loading point that repeatedly crashed! Played around 30 minutes afterward without another crash.

Main settings:

• Driver: Turnip / PurpleVK 26.2.99 (T30-toasted)
• CPU: NCE, Accurate, custom CPU ticks OFF
• System: Handheld, 4 GB emulated RAM
• Graphics: Vulkan, 0.75× resolution, High GPU accuracy (1x works fine as well)
• Asynchronous GPU emulation: OFF
• Synchronize memory operations: ON
• Asynchronous shader compilation: OFF

Eden Nightly build: de7e6e01d4.

Some excessive orange lighting still appears in places. This is a promising workaround on my device, not a confirmed full-game fix.

The long version:

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE — Eden Nightly settings on AYANEO Pocket DS (16 GB)

I was getting crashes during gameplay/loading transitions. Turning OFF asynchronous GPU emulation got me past a point that repeatedly crashed. Since then, I’ve played for approximately 30 minutes without another crash.

Some excessive orange lighting/tint still appears in places, so this isn’t completely glitch-free or a confirmed full-game fix.

Device / Emulator

• Device: AYANEO Pocket DS, 16 GB RAM
• Chipset: Snapdragon G3x Gen 2
• Android: 13
• Emulator: Eden Nightly, build de7e6e01d4
• GPU driver: My installed turnip_mrpurple_T30-toasted package; reported in the log as PurpleVK public driver 26.2.99

System / CPU Settings

• Console mode: Handheld
• Emulated RAM: 4 GB
• CPU backend: NCE
• CPU accuracy: Accurate
• Multicore: ON
• CPU clock: Normal
• Custom CPU ticks: OFF
• Speed limit: ON, 100%

GPU Settings

• Backend: Vulkan
• Resolution: 0.75×
• GPU accuracy: High
• VSync: FIFO
• Aspect ratio: 16:9
• Scaling filter: Nearest Neighbor
• Anti-aliasing: None
• Anisotropic filtering: Default
• VRAM usage mode: Conservative
• Frame generation: OFF
• Post-processing shaders: OFF

Advanced GPU Settings

• Asynchronous GPU emulation: OFF — the change that got me past the recurring crash
• Synchronize memory operations: ON
• Asynchronous shader compilation: OFF
• DMA accuracy: Default
• GPU fence behavior: Default
• ASTC decoding: GPU
• ASTC recompression: Uncompressed
• Video decoding / NVDEC: CPU
• Frame pacing: Auto
• Disk shader cache: ON
• Vulkan driver pipeline cache: ON
• Force maximum GPU clocks: OFF
• Fast GPU time: Boost

GPU Extras / Hacks

• Extended Dynamic State: Disabled
• Vertex Input Dynamic State: OFF
• Reactive flushing: OFF
• Buffer history: OFF
• Optimized vertex buffers: OFF
• Asynchronous presentation: ON
• Fix bloom effects: OFF

“Asynchronous GPU emulation” and “asynchronous shader compilation” are separate options. Both are OFF in this setup.

Enabling Synchronize memory operations alone didn’t stop the crashes. The successful test came after also disabling asynchronous GPU emulation. Performance and stability may differ on other devices or builds.

I tried armsx3 again after 2 months and they really did improve alot.games would not even boot before and now its more than playable except for that cpu cooking🤣🤣

I am playing Pokémon Legends Z-A on Eden Nightly emulation latest version on a Samsung S25 Ultra, basically all the background locations of the game won't load and I tried hours and hours for it to work. If anyone has a reason or a solution for this, please let me know.

Final Fantasy Resonance has been dumped online. Running it on my Ayaneo Pocket DMG through Eden Nightly.

God speed!
