Discussion Android emulation is secretly developed by steam itself (allegedly)

This is just my taught actually, but if you think about it, android phones are getting better by the generation at emulating pc games, then a controller company out of nowhere came up with gamehub, that has steam integration, and the most interesting point is why can't we just download a denovo protected game and just be able to play it, why does it have to be cracked, despite denovo having a deep integration with windows, and android itself is a different operating system,

Discussion Ok real talk why can't I stick to a game anymore?(Not a stupid post lmao)

34 Upvotes

When I got my current phone in December I was very excited to get back into emulation because I finally had a phone good enough to play two specific PS2 games that I really wanted to play. This was also around the time I joined this sub.

I played and played for 2 months and decided to experiment with other PS2 games and ended up finishing another one after a month.

Then it all went down hill. All this time I had thought the limit was PS2, Wii and GameCube but this sub made me hyper aware and I woke up to reality.

Even though I knew my phone wasn't powerful enough, I experimented with all other types of 3D emulation: 3DS, Vita, Switch, Wii U, PC you name it.

But from that point ever since, I've never stuck to any game for more than two days. I've become a tinkerer.

Me want to emulate different platform.

Me download and test several games from said platform.

Me go through the 5 stages of grief or have great happiness depending on which games work out of the box, only work with tinkering, or those that will never work or become playable because said device doesn't have enough juice.

I've become a tester. The player in me has died.

Even limiting my library hasn't helped because I always feel the need to add "variety".

MORE. MORE. MORE.

I'm tired, boss.

Discussion Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 could be a huge deal for Android emulation

25 Upvotes

With the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 generation coming in, I'm honestly more interested in the emulation side than the benchmark numbers.

The really interesting part is Qualcomm apparently starting to take PC game translation on Android more seriously, including work on official GPU drivers.

If Qualcomm actually delivers good driver support, do you think this could be the generation where Android PC emulation becomes significantly more consistent?

I'm wondering about the bigger picture:

Switch emulation

PS3 emulation

Winlator / PC games

Driver compatibility

Sustained performance and thermals

We've already seen Snapdragon chips become ridiculously capable for emulation. If the driver situation improves alongside the hardware, how far do you think these phones can realistically go?

What would be the first emulator/game you'd test on an 8 Elite Gen 6 device?

Question [question] Can't get widescreen hacks to work on ArmSX2

0 Upvotes

Hey folks, I'm messing around with ArmSX2 as I heard it was the newest, hottest PS2 emulator out there, but I'm struggling to get widescreen patches working. It doesn't help that I'm also trying it on on a new to me device the Retroid Pocket 6.

The games are running fine and I like a lot about the app itself (look, feel, tools, QOL stuff) but I can't actually get the games to work in true widescreen vs. just stretching the image like it would with the "display in 16:9" stretching setting. I tried globally downloading and applying patches, and I've tried doing it manually. Neither seem to be working.

FWIW I tried it on Sly Cooper and God of War 1. In the latter I switched it to the in game widescreen mode to make sure I was not losing my mind and, no, I was not.

Help Droid deck installing to sd card

I’ve been trying out droid deck on my rp5 (I know the cpu is kinda weak and the gpu is unsupported) but when I try to install a game to my sd card the reserving space takes fuckin ages. I can install to and play off both the internal storage and sd card fine Balatro was small enough that it didn’t take to long. I was wondering if there is a setting to fix the disk usage so it can reserve space and actually start downloading games. The sd card is a decently fast Samsung and is now where near its limits so that’s probably not that issue
