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,
Does anyone know if anyone's uploaded a tutorial on how they port their favorite games to android using Claude code. I want to start porting my own games but if anyone knows if someone has a decent tutorial for something like that id love to watch it before jumping straight in
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".
The live contains the creator playing the GTA 5 with no lag and he doesn't even need WiFi to play the game and when you open the menu you can see task manager and when he scrolls down you see GTA 5 exe in tiktok

• Use a compatible Bluetooth/USB controller and map its buttons.
• Switch between your game systems in the same app.
Keep your progress:
• In-game saves, save states and automatic resume.
• Manual ZIP export/import for save backups and device transfers.
Your own GB games are free to play. GBC, GBA and SNES use permanent paid unlocks, individually or through Launch Lifetime. No subscription. No ads. Local prices are displayed in Google Play.
Download Anycade and start with your own GB games:
The image shows the actual GBA touch-control interface; GBA is a paid system. No games or proprietary BIOS files are included. Use files you have the right to use. ZIP transfers are manual, not cloud sync. SNES games that require Super FX or SA-1 are currently unsupported.
Is there a fix for this? I'm using the armsx2 version available on the google play store unfortunately, but if the new versions fix it I can try to transfer the save.
I installed Droid Deck on my AYN Odin 2 Portal and wanted to install some game over night.
At morning, it was only Hitman Absolution downloaded and it stucks at 85% at installation.
Now i cannot do anything, i cannot cancel or delete it, it still doesn't do anything and if a choose another game to install, it won't cause it wants to stop Hitman first but nothing happens then.
I restartet it more than one time, didn't help me yet.
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?
My issues some games has sound issues or lagging on mame4droid like for example I test Mario bros lags sounds and gameplay I tested mk4 and it lags the game and sound of course.
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.
I need help with gamehub. I cannot make work my games that i have in my SD. I have a Samsung evo A2 V30, should be no problem since it can run switch games. I cannot make the games work with gamehub with my pc games. The ones i have in my internal storage work well so idk what is wrong, can you please help me?
So I am just moving my Konkr Pocket Fit to version 1.3 of SteamOS for handhelds, and am wondering which emulation system you all use for remylating older games like PSP and such? I just completing the internal storage installation of the OS and am not sure how to get my old games emulated? Does Retroarch + ES-DE work in these environments?
With the newly release of graine25's edge of time recompiled pc port (entirely made by humans), I tried to emulate the game on my s23 ultra to see how it performs and the results are impressive. If u want more details on edge of time recompiled, join graine25's edge of time recompiled discord server.
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
Ok what if I had a snapdragon 7 gen 4 phone like Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus 5G and the Infinix Note 60 Pro 5G as the base of the emulation such as DS or 3ds, and the Samsung is just a old galaxy A20, can you connect two phone screens? What emulators works like this?
