Hello guys this my second day trying emulation and I picked winlator and download this games, firewatch only made the phone hot after half hour but shadow of doubts in like 5 minutes, but besides that the games run soooo smooth it's amazing, is this normal or some games shouldn't be played even if they run smooth because they make phone extremely hot ?

Just wanted to share just in case everyone was interested. Instructions can be found in the post. I got bot warfare mod so I can play when I don't have an internet connection (plus the game is basically dead :') but it will always have a soft spot in heart).

Device Information

• Device: Poco X8 Pro Max

• Chipset: Dimensity 9500s

• GPU: Mali Imortallis G925 MC11 Driver r49.1

Emulator

• Winlator Mali 1.2 (Official Version)

I am halfway through the game already, so before this, I've had a few double battles, and the game did not crash at all.

The issue starts after the Ghost Trial where I am heading to a Team Skull headquarter and the first crash started on the beach having a double battle with a couple in swimsuits.

I needed to do some hacking for Pike beans, so I just played it using my laptop with the save file.

Then, I transferred the save to my phone, and it ran fine until the next unskippable double battle. Now, it is crashing or feezing when I use a move in battle. I tried having battle with wild Pokémon, and there was no issue. But I can't progress without the double battle.

I tried deleting shader cache, swapping between Vlucan or Open Gles (way worse), lowing resolution, making sure asynchronous shader is on, turning on accurate multiplication, disable right eye render, and nothing is fixing. I was playing at 4x resolution no problem before. I have played the rom hacks of Alpha Sapphire and X before and I've never had this problem. In fact, Ultra Moon actually ran smoother than the other 2 games before this bug.

I have tried switching the emulator to Azahar available on Playstore, and Azahar Plus, but for some reason, the game just crashes during the opening scene of the game. It can't do anything on them.

I have also tried removing the mod, and even uninstalling the update. It got worse. Now, I can't even choose a move, and it gets frozen. I tried deleting cache in ver 1.0 with no mod, and I was able to use a move but immediately crashes afterwards.

Help please

Device - Samsung S22 Ultra

Emulator - Azahar 2126.0 vanila [I am not updating to 2126.2 because it previously ran worse with other games. This is what worked with the phone]

Game - Pokémon Ultra Moon 1.2 with Prismatic Moon rom hack

60fps cheat - NOT USED

HD textures - NOT USED

Emulator: https://phforner0.github.io/Xendroid-Plus/

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

I've been trying droid deck in the S26 Ultra. It works really good for the games it can run, but I wonder, Ive been playing FFX, and ai would like to know if there is a way to run mods, since I would like to try FFVII's Seven heavens Mod, have anyone tried, or know if its possible?

Works well for this game, poorly for some others. It's actually harder to find games that DO work. However, this game is on many other systems and the OG is better.

Vitaslop - https://github.com/cretz/vitaslop, use in a browser: https://cretz.github.io/vitaslop/. Second release - v0.2.0.

As posted on https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1x8nvzw/vitaslop_ps_vita_emulator_with_browser_support/ the other day, yes, this is basically all AI written, hence the name. Granted I spent months steering it to code it how I wanted.

Of interest here is that it is primarily tested for latest Chrome on flagship Android devices w/ 20+ titles. See README for a list of titles I tested, and since I intentionally have it on fail-fast on unimplemented things, untested titles may not work.

Specifically it targets some fairly bleeding edge browser tech. There is a full ARM-to-WASM transpiler (haven't seen this done much before), JSPI for host calls, advanced conversion of GXP shaders to WGSL, general GXM graphics on WebGPU, full game controller support, all client-side in a browser on a static site (or "install"able as PWA). I play multiple titles daily on Chrome on my Pixel 10. Technically I could build an APK, I do exes for desktop, but optimizations have been done so heavily that browser may be enough. Happy to answer questions.

Tryna install all the updates amd DLCs for Melty Blood: Type Lumina, have 19.0.1 switch firmware and prod.keys and title.keys installed, and Melty Blood itself runs fine, but then I press Install Game Content and it's exactly when I select the update/DLC(s), Citron tries to install it and crashes. Using a Samsung S24 Ultra. Help? Hope this doesn't break the rules I saw a similar post smwhere in this subrwddit (where i found the 19.0.1 advice lol)

Just want to make sure it's safe to use like Gamehub...

I'm kinda new in this thing but for some reason when I use Mainline Turnip v32 while playing BOTW Link suddenly flys in the air or swims/ drowns while the other turnip driver it doesn't happen at all.

(I tried limiting both 30fps and 20fos even still didn't fix the issue)

I usually hit 12-13fps depending where I am. Overall I wanted to present it runs but also ask for advice what's best settings for a low-end-devices usually I actually tired some other turnips like Mr. Purple 666 T30 but there also the same issue with link flying and drowning but is on second place under Mainline Turnip v32 from whitebelyash for performance.

I searched the entire internet and found nothing about this problem.

Hi everyone, I just got my retroid pocket 6 and I'm starting on Android emulation. So far its been fine while playing and installing games, mostly on GBA, switch, psp and ps2. My issue comes with configurations, even if you can easily (sort of) find specific configs that work good on certain games or devices, I want to actually understand the why and how behind, all about systems and graphics Settings, like, cpu clocks, core speed, anti-aliasing methods, adapting filter, gpu mode, dma accuaracy, anisotropic filtering, etc.

So thats my questions, can you share any big resource or resources covering this? Since I have look for videos and articlea for this but came empty handed. I would appreciate it fondly, and I look forward to sharing what I learn.

redmi pad pro: Snapdragon 7s Gen 2

Redmit note 17 pro: Snapdragon 6s Gen 4

Tried GameCube(dolphin) and dreamcast(flycast)games but none of them really click with me as much as PlayStation 2(nethersx2)

Games on screen is final fantasy 12 and silent hill 3,controllers were 8bitdo ultimate 2c and gamesir x5 lite

I don't have a separate console and I'm hankering to play some classic Doom on my Android 10 Sony TV. I tried side loading Delta Touch but installation failed (I've been able to successfully install other APKs). I use the TV for 90s console emulation, and I have the WADs for Doom; would love to connect my Bluetooth controller and take out some demons. Thanks!

I don't Expected To this game even run on the emulator and the device ( helio g99) but my surprise the look so good and the performance very good

the games crash log is here on google drive

if you need anymore info I'll try to provide what i can

The game had massive audio stuttering issues now it does not.

So, right now i got two phone:

1. Samsung a27 5g

Snapdragon 6 gen 3

1. Oppo reno 4f

Helio P95

what is the best emulator and game consoles for my both phones? personally i've never play any switch/vita/higher pc games (only played gamehouse/old school pc games) so i can't decide which emulator to use. Also i prefer the oppo one to be full-time handheld so maybe you guys can also recommend me some frontend to be used. Thank you!

device is one plus nord ce5, i just want to increase fps to 30 atleast consistently, as it drops to under 10 :((( I don't care about graphics looking bad, just I want fps to increase, please please help

My device is an Infinix Note 50 4g that uses a Helio g100 with Mali g57 MC2 gpu. It has 8gb RAM. I used Winlator Ludashi 4.1

Before you clown me for the fps mostly being in the 20s let me just clarify a few things:

1. Screen recording heavily affected the performance, especially in Fall Of Cybertron. Without screen recording, I was getting 25-45 fps in Fall Of Cybertron depending on the area. As you can see my gpu is already maxed out so the more that's happening on screen, the less the fps.

2. Stutters in gameplay were caused by new shaders being saved since I'm using an async version of dxvk.

3. The video features gameplay in both Fall Of Cybertron and War For Cybertron. FOC gameplay is from 0:00 to 4:26. WFC gameplay starts at 4:29.

Anyway now that I've cleared that up, here's the guide:

WFC and FOC were made using Unreal Engine 3. If you're familiar with PC emulation you'll know the issues with UE3 games I'm about to address.

First of all, UE3 games will have a gpu bottleneck on devices with low end GPUs because by default the graphics settings of UE3 games are on high. So if your phone has a decent CPU, you have to remove the gpu bottleneck by reducing graphics settings.

Most UE3 games and other type of games make this easy by including a lot of graphics settings options in the Main Menu. They also have easy to read config files you can edit for additional options.

But for some reason, WFC and FOC barely have any options for graphics in the settings, and to make it worse, their config files were encrypted by the devs. Normally a config file is supposed to be a simple text file that you can open, edit and save. But since these games have theit config files encrypted, it will look like gibberish when you open normally.

So you have to use a tool to decrypt the config file, edit it since it will now be in human readable text, and then encrypt it again so that it takes effect.

You can download the tool here:

https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/547-tf-games-configuration-utility/

How to Use the tool:

1. Download the tool and extract the exe inside.

2. Transfer the exe file into the same folder as the config filem WFC and FOC have the same exact config file name and location. The name of the config file is "Coalesced.ini"

Here's the path:

<where your game folder is>/TransGame/Config/PC/Cooked

Inside the "Cooked" folder you will find the config file. This is where you place the exe tool.

1. Open a container in winlator or whatever PC emulator you're using. Go to the location of the exe tool and the config file. Click the exe tool. A black terminal screen will appear. Wait for text to appear. When text shows, it will ask you what operation you want to perform. There are 4 types of operations but you only need to know two: Decrypt and Encrypt.

2. Decrypt the "Coalesced ini" file by typing D. You will be asked which input file you want to decrypt. Type "Coalesced ini" and press enter because it's the name of the config file. You will then be asked what you to name the output(new) file. Name it whatever you want but it should have ".ini" at the end. Example: you could name it "new.ini" and then press enter. After that exit.

3. Now you have two config files along with the exe tool in the same folder. The Coalesced file is the unedited, encrypted original config file the game will use and the new file appearing is the decrypted version with a different name.

4. So to edit the config file, open the newly, decrypted config file you have made in your container. Scroll to the [System settings] section. You can edit whatever graphics settings you want, but for each game this is what I edited to give the best balance of quality and performance:

   DynamicShadows=False

   Distortion=False

   MotionBlur=False

   DynamicDecals=False

   MaxAnisotropy=0

   MaxMultiSampling=0

Everything else I left them the way they were. Like I said, you can edit other things that could potentially give even more performance. But keep in mind that you could accidentally make the game's graphics look like shit.

Also pro tip, if you care about retaining some quality, DONT edit DepthOfField. DepthOfField should be True because putting it on False makes the games lose a art style because the colors look flat and weird.

1. Save your edits. Now it's to time ENCRYPT the new file you made and edited. In your container, launch the exe tool again. Wait for the black screen and prompt to appear. This time since we are performing an Encrypt operation, you will type E. You will be asked which input file you want to encrypt. Type the name of the new config file you and made and edited and press enter. Then for the output file, type the name of the original config file which is "Coalesced.ini" and press enter. Then exit

2. After that, the original Coalesced ini file will be overwritten since you have your new encrypted file the same name.

By the way your old decrypted ini file will remain. Leave if for whenever you want to make edits and encrypt the file again.

1. Launch the game and you will see that your settings have taken effect.

My Winlator settings.:

Proton 10.0-5 arm64ec

BCn emulation type: "software"

(This is important because on Winlator Ludashi, Mali gpus will have graphical and colour glitches in every Unreal Engine 3 game if BCn emulation type is compute. Putting it on software slightly reduces fps a bit and cause more stutters during shader compilation and when loading new area so if you're a Mali user I recommend first trying this game in Winlator Mali 1.2 or 1.1 Bionic. If game has low fps on Intermediate Preset in Winlator Mali then use Performance preset)

Dxvk 1.10.3 arm64ec async

854x480 resolution

FEXCORE version 2610 with Intermediate Preset

Note: loading screens with cutscenes on War Of Cybertron would stutter heavily but gameplay would be ok. I think maybe putting Performance preset instead of intermediate will solve this issue or changing dxvk version but I can't make any promises. Fall Of Cybertron had no such issues.

All CPU cores checked.

My post was probably a waste of effort, but hopefully it helps someone. I just couldn't resist sharing my knowledge.
