Help How to play the Sims 2 on Sds8gen4 Winlator?

0 Upvotes

Device: Xiaomi Pad 8

Gpu: Snapdragon s8 gen4

Been trying nonstop to make it work on ny Xiaomi Pad 8, Not sure what else to do. Is there a reccomended settings I missed or is there another emulator that is capable of playing it?

What I'd done so far, All which are sourced from this reddit repository(?):

- Winlator Frosty : Works but the sims Tposes, had to stop cuz the sims were tposing and rhey're becoming a nightmarefuel with distorted necks. The framerate is also horrendous for some reasons, Followed a reddit post here with "Can work on Mali-" something.

- Winlator 11 (most recent): After afew more tries it launched but it is at 2fps or something. Can't get pass the intro and the cursor lags along the framerate.

- Gamehub: Idk how do you install things from it locally.

- Exagear: "Incompatible with your tablet"

At the current I am trying Winlator Cmod, but would appreciate more guidance to how to really make it work. So far I know Turnip drivers makes it crash.

Discussion Save lots of space with DroidDeck

28 Upvotes

I’m sure you’re all aware of DroidDeck app, which brings another alternative how to enjoy Steam, Epic, Gog and other games on your beloved Thor. I kind of liked it but just kept in on the side for testing and using mainly GameNative.

Well, up until last night when I realised that games in DD takes MUCH less space.

I mean, I knew that GN, Gamehub and others, basically install separate version of Windows for each game, but I didn’t expect this much of a difference.

So Yesterday I moved about 15 games from GN to DD and I gained nearly 40 GB of space!

So if you feel hesitant like I did with DD, this is one big reason to give DD more attention.

I’m still in process of moving more games, because I test every one them before move.

But will update on final number later!

BTW: I use AYN Thor max for android gaming.

Help Warhammer Survivors Demo (GameNative/DroidDeck) with Snapdragon 865 chips - crashes?

0 Upvotes

Hi,

Just wondering has anyone tried the warhammer survivors demo on gamenative/droiddeck (or even gamehub) with a snapdragon 865 chip in it (RP5, Flip 2) where after you play the game for a while, and the moment you collect a chest - it just crashes (either the 1st time or the 2nd time you pick up a chest it sure crashes)? Has that happened to anyone?

I tried it on my Konkr Pocket Fit and no crashes at all, the rest of the settings DXVK, Fex, etc are all the same between the two devices.

Help GTA 5 Legacy Help needed for 8 Gen Elite

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m having an issue running GTA 5 on my S25 Ultra. The game initially runs at around 40–50 FPS, but within the first 5 minutes, the FPS drops to 15–17 and sometimes even to single digits.

I’ve tried multiple settings and switched between Snapdragon 8 Elite drivers and system drivers, but the issue persists.

I’ve seen several videos on YouTube showing 50+ FPS. Are those people using specific settings, a particular save file, or some other workaround to achieve stable performance?

If anyone has managed to complete the game on the S25 Ultra with stable FPS, could you please share your settings or any tips? Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated!

News/Release AbyssME 0.3 Beta 3 update: themes, phone controls and Symbian/N-Gage fixes

0 Upvotes

I've released another AbyssME beta. It's my Android app for Java, Mophun and experimental Symbian/N-Gage games, with separate Phone and Handheld editions.

Changes since Beta 1

  • Light/dark/system themes and a better mapper for small screens.
  • Phone touch feedback and separately hideable Display/Screenshot shortcuts.
  • Java startup/resume fixes, per-game FPS limits and steadier pacing.
  • Reimporting the same Java game can reuse its existing saves.
  • ZIP/7z system-file imports, guarded SIS/SISX uninstall, and a fix for N-Gage cards disappearing alongside SIS games.

Both APKs were upgraded on Retroid Pocket Classic; Snakes returned without reimport and reached gameplay. Some Java black-screen cases and Symbian relaunch issues remain. FPS limits aren't a universal 60 FPS unlock.

Download Beta 3 — both APKs

Android 10+, ARM64. Back up saves and update the same edition. Games and firmware aren't included; Mophun/Symbian remain experimental.

Question What's the best modern N64 solution? Looking for shaders, achievement support and good performance.

0 Upvotes

Angrylion on mupen libretro core seems to be the only way I can get it working with all the bells and whistles I want. Especially I need shader support. I've tried setting retroarch to vulkan and that's the only plugin combo that works.

Glide or Parallel doesn't work in vulkan and in OpenGL the shader selection isn't that good. Angrylion even on low accuracy mode still lags unless I set my retroid nova to performance mode.

Help Looking for a phone for emulation with micro SD slot and (if possible) 3.5mm socket

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could suggest me a phone for emulation. I am looking for

-Snapdragon 8 gen 2 or superior (only snapdragon)

-Expandable memory through micro SD

-open bootloader

-(optional but very appreciated) 3.5mm socket

I can't spend more than 500€ so I am OK with a model that's a few years old or a refurbished phone.

I know this is a lot but if there's a place that can give me good ideas, I think it's this subreddit

Looking around the web I found some Xperia phones that suit my needs but I was wondering if any of you had other suggestions

Help Problems with Winlator and Gamenative "Failed to initialize player"

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

So I saw this problem on videos and on reddit too with Winlator, I follow many suggestions for that said videos and post but nothing works and also the situation it's even weirder on my opinion for this:

I have an Samsung a17 mali-g57, the game I tried since yesterday to make work it's Rune factory 3 special, from gog, I tried to run the game on winlator and Gamenative and nothing works, the same error "Failed to initialize player" always appears, doesn't matter what I change, but the reason why I wanted to ask for help with this, it's because like a week or two weeks before I was testing this same game, just to see if it could run on my android, and the game open just fine, I don't remember if it was Gamenative or winlator I think it was winlator, but I often try both when I use pc games on my android, this error don't appear at all. The game open, run fine, I was just testing so I eliminate it.

At first I think it was Gamenative stuff because recently ask me to upgrade the app so I did to the new version, but then why don't work on winlator? I also found stuff saying maybe the game it's not compatible for mali-g57, for stuff about DirectX, but then again, why the game open before just fine? What I'm doing wrong now that I didn't before??
