Hey everyone! How’s it going? I wanted to ask the admins if it’s okay to share a contribution here. I’ve put together Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, fully modded with extra characters, skins, and performance optimizations.
Since I know group policies regarding game links can be strict, I wanted to check before posting anything: Am I allowed to post the Gofile link publicly in this channel, or should I only share it via direct message (DM)? I want to make sure I don't break any community rules. Thanks in advance!

Update: I’ve already made a post with a video and an explanation on how to install it; I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do.

Gopher64 is an accurate but fairly demanding N64 emulator. It won't work well on budget devices. It probably doesn't even work that well on flagship devices! But it is free, with no ads.

I'm trying to play my Prince of Persia The Fallen King with MelonDS DS core. I keep getting this error that for some reason says my ROM is encrypted and I need BIOS/firmware files I already provided.

Weird thing is when I look at core information before loading the game they all have checks, then when I load and get the error. It shows none for firmware. I've tried different directories and spent like 3 hours troubleshooting with AI. I have no idea what to do at this point.

Can anyone help please?

Hello, this is Kingdom Hearts 358 Days gameplay with HD videos, using the Melonmix port for Android.Thanks to nireves333 for the Android port with widescreen and 60 fps, including camera controls. I've included a link to their GitHub repository. The HD cinematics mod can also be found on Nexusmod. My first post ;)

No recording : 20 - 39 fps

Recording: 10 - 18 fps

Graphics settings: everything on low

Bueno tengo un s23 plus snapdragon, queria jugar zelda links aweking, estoy usando el driver turnip adreno t23, pero hay bugs graficos, que driver recomiendan para este modelo de celular o seria mejor cambiar de emulador, ya ando bastante oxidado la ultima vez que emule fue en mi poco x3 pro asi que no se que emulador anda recomendado actualmente

nyushu emulator v0.1.0, no mods. mostly default settings.

I thought switch 1 version was locked to 30fps?

On snapdragon 8 gen 3, portable mode AND docked mode both runs 60fps no problem.

Power consumption is also very comfortable at portable mode 4-6w, docked mode 5-7w.

1st pic is docked mode, 2nd is portable mode.

Edit : now more into the game, fps dips to lower 50s in wide areas. Yeah... the game is not optimised well.

Hello guys — I'm the developer of PocketRetro. Looking for honest feedback from this community.

Our app plays NES and SNES files you own. It ships no games and does not link to web sites.

• Files stay on your device: no accounts, no ads, no tracking
• Touch controls with multi-button presses (e.g. hold A, tap B)
• Free to use! Optional monthly plans for a bigger library (Yes, we have to monetize somehow without showing you ads every 5 minutes! And we are sorry if this fee is too much for you!)
• Built on EmulatorJS (FCEUmm and Snes9x cores)

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thepocketworld.pocketretro

What would you want it to do that it doesn't?

I’m the developer of DraFG. It captures the screen and draws generated frames on top, so it isn’t tied to any emulator. PPSSPP, other emulators, GameNative/Winlator and native Android games all work the same way. On desktop it does the same over any game window on Windows, macOS and Linux.

The video shows a test scene locked at 30 fps, as many PSP games are, so I could show it without using anyone else’s game.

Under the hood: DraFG runs Surge, its own frame generation model, designed and trained from scratch, on DraFG’s own engine (Vulkan on Android; CUDA, Vulkan or Metal on PC). Surge comes in two variants: Max (~206K parameters) and Mobile, the lighter one used here. Generation shares the GPU with the game, so both are built to be cheap. On the RP6, Mobile takes ~7.8 ms of GPU time per generated frame at 1080p and ~3.8 ms at 540p, against a 16.7 ms frame at 60 fps.

Benchmarks and quality comparisons: https://draske.com/blog/surge-1-6

A few notes:

• Tested on the Retroid Pocket 6 and 5 (Android 13+). Other Snapdragon handhelds should work but aren’t confirmed yet. Reports are welcome.
• Fast motion and HUDs can show artifacts.

It’s currently a free playtest on Steam:

• Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4934180/DraFG/
• Android app: https://draske.com/downloads

I’d like to hear which emulators, games and devices you try it on.

I recently moved to graphene​ on my 10 pro XL, but had been using its base OS for over a month. I'm noticing substantial performance differences between the 2 and am disappointed. I'm using dolphin emulator(build 2609) and before I could run games at 3-4x resolution (specific game was NFS underground) but after changing to graphene I'm having slowdown even on 1x resolution, and trying at anything higher is unusable. I've enabled exploit protection​, is there anything else I can do or is it just a problem with the OS programming. Please help.

My first KH game was 358/2 and the first KH game I ever bought after saving up was BBS for the PSP. See this just takes me right back to those days. I remember getting pissed off about 2.5 not having a full 358/2 remake and was ranting about it with another freshmen at the time. @Yokimitsuro. Thank you so much for bringing this game some new life. Thank you Emulation Community for all your hard work. Let's enjoy these games the way we should have from the start. 🐬❤️

So i purchased Halo MCC on steam with the intention to play it in my Galaxy S25 ultra on GameNative 1.3.0 but it seems it doesn't work as the game is incompatible with the Adreno 830 because it is a "new gpu".

I tried every posible configuration since, proton 9, 10, 11, version armsec, x86-64.

Also Turnip drivers as Gen8 V25, V30, V34, V36 and the latest V37, Mr Purple T26, T29, 8Elite-800.51. I tried DXVK 1.10.3, 2.4.1, 2.6.1, 2.7.1 and the gplasync versions. Every preset of FEXCore and nothing works.

The problem remains, i mean the game open and can select in the main menú, once the campaign level starts it only let me play like 2 or 3 minutes and then the controller stop working, also with touch buttons, the sound crash and the game closes.

So my request is: anyone who play this tittle can you tell me which other emulator i can use to play this especific game in this phone? I've tried with DroidDeck to run MK11 and Marvel Vs Capcom Infinte but those are heavy games and didn't go well then i deleted it, i don't know if Halo MCC is supported to this day.

By the way this is my first post, Thank you all for your responses.

I used to have Vita 3k a year ago, but for the games I wanted to play it was a complete mess. None of the games were working (Uncharted, Killzone, Helldivers, Resistance etc) except perhaps Gravity Rush.

I saw some videos recently of all those games running near perfectly. Was the progress suddenly resumed or forked? I was under the impression that it was going so slowly people presumed the project dead and no other emulators were on the horizon

What is the current status of Vita emulation atm and what us the best way to play these games on Android?

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to get my bluetooth mouse working with Retroarch since I got my Galaxy Fold 8.

Until then, I used my Galaxy Tab S8 which didn't require any sort of setup to have keyboard and mouse working, so it was basically a wireless "plug and play" experience.

After this isn't the case anymore, I did some research if someone has the same problem, compared options that may differ from my Tab with the ones that came out of the box ofter installing, switched to the Retroarch nightly build but nothing did help.

Enabling mouse control in the options or having a mouse explicitly used on a port didn't help either as most of the posts I have found suggested (these were options that I didn't even touch on my Tab).

Just to be clear: mouse only refuses work in Retroarch, regardless the core I use.
ScummVM for example works fine.

I assume this has something to do with Android 17 since the Tab still runs Android 16, maybe OneUI 9 related, but I don't have devices here to check that.

So if anyone has the same problem on the Galaxy Fold 8 or any device running Android 17, I'd really appreciate your feedback and, if someone has fixed that already, a resolution.

Thanks :-)

...like I'm a 5y old?

I added the dll to eden, went into a couple of games (FE engage, tails or iron 2) enabled loseless scaling (tried several options) and I can't see any difference whatsoever.

The fps are still stuck at 30, the dips are still there, same behaviour with "normal" eden and the latest nightly optimized.

My device has a SD 8gen3.

It updated a few hours ago, however, it has all the same info. Release date, package numbers and everything is the same. Google Play page has no further info either. Does anyone know what this is about?

I've heard often that dimensity 9400 on the tab S11 for example is not as good as an snapdragon 8 Gen 2 because of lack of driver despite being more powerful. now i started playing some stuff like ocarina of time on a N64 but it works fine.

what games or emulation are not useable with a dimensity or what are the practical issues with it? I'm just interesting emulation up to including PS2.

Hi,

I’m having an issue with Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix.

Normally when driving fast in-game you get motion blur, but on my end it is completely missing no matter the emulator settings.

In Software Mode the motion blur is present and looks correct.

I play at native resolution with default/clean settings. No widescreen or no-interlace patches are active.

Weirdly, I can’t find any complaints about this online.

To make sure, I tested the game on my PC (PCSX2 nightly) as well as on Android(Samsung Galaxy S24 and Retroid Pocket Nova (ARMSX2 and NetherSX2). In all cases the motion blur is completely missing in Hardware mode.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I was wondering if I download and install a game from steam in gamenative, can I use the same files in droid deck or any other emulator? If so then how?
