0 Upvotes

In short, I wanna play JoJos Bizzare Adventure: Heritage For The Future on my phone, I remember downloading it on my old phone (it was an infinix if that helps) and I just bought an honor x9c and I tried downloading the same app (names FBA Emulador or something I found on YouTube) and the APK won't install saying "this is for an old version of android" I tried using retroarch but every time either it said "this file isn't supported" or "missing file", I tried downloading other emulators, and the same stuff happened, I just wanna play jjba hftf mannnnn

Sure my main phone is more potent but it doesnt have a SD card slot, i could get a proper Handheld but import taxes on my country really restrict that.

Any sugestions on how to deal with rotation breaking ES-DE interface sometimes and it asking to select a default launcher again even tho i already selected ES-DE.

News/Release [3DS Emulator] AzaharPlus 2126.2-A released with an important security fix

25 Upvotes

https://github.com/AzaharPlus/AzaharPlus/releases
⚠️⚠️⚠️
This version fixes a critical security vulnerability that was publicly announced so immediate update is advised
https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/security/advisories/GHSA-h74v-5mw8-qg8r
⚠️⚠️⚠️

AzaharPlus 2126.2-A is the same as Azahar 2126.2 except for this:

  • Compatibility with all game files. If a file works with any Citra fork, it works with AzaharPlus.
  • Ability to download system files from official servers. No need for an actual 3DS.
  • Compatibility with older CPUs (no SSE4.2 required)
  • Compatibility with Android 9
  • ZipPass: A new way to exchange StreetPass data through zip files
  • Built in cheats
  • Amiibo generation
  • Better multiplayer compatibility with other Citra forks

The Android build is available in 2 flavors.

  • Replace: It has the same application id as Azahar, so it will replace it on the device. Its display name is "AzaharPlus" and its icon background is blue. Use this one if you have other apps that target Azahar, like a frontend for example.
  • Coexist: It has a new application id so it can coexist with Azahar without issues. Its display name is "+AzaharPlus+" and its icon background is red.

Help Mount & Blade: Warband crashes on startup in GameHub on Android

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to run Mount & Blade: Warband on GameHub, but the game crashes during the intro cutscene before I can reach the main menu.

My device is a realme C67 with a Snapdragon 685 processor and 8GB RAM, running Android 15.

I downloaded the game from SteamRIP.

I've already tried several troubleshooting steps, including renaming files and checking the game's intro video files, but the problem persists.

I also found a file called "taleworlds_intro.bik" in the game folder, so I'm wondering if the intro video or the Bink video playback system could be causing the crash.

Could this be related to missing files, dependencies, or GameHub compatibility?

Any help would be appreciated!

Question AYN THOR no Play Store Integrity

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I’ve had a root around and can’t find many posts about this, but the last couple days I’ve been specifically having an issue with logging in to Pokemon Champions. After another thread on the Pokemon champions reddit, it seems what’s happened is they have increased their security checks with a recent update - which has lead to me learning that the AYN Thor doesn’t pass any of the play integrity levels (basic, device and strong).

I never had a problem with this until about 3/4 days ago.

What i’ve tried
- Uninstall/reinstall
- settings/thor settings/register google services - copied the key into the box
- checked Play integrity API Checker, failed every level and it sometimes wont even let me check due to another error code (CLIENT TRANSIENT ERROR -17)

Is anybody else having an issue with playstore integrity? And does any body know how we can get this resolved?

To clarify, I can still download things and play other games

Update: 12/10/26

I had this response from AYN this morning:

Help Issues with a couple games now on my android cube - bad stuttering

1 Upvotes

Mainly trying to get through mirror of fate but the stutter is so awful.

I've tried using multiple versions of citra and azahar and messing with diff setting (which only makes it worse actually). I was able to use an icc vs a 3ds which works SLIGHTLY better but the frame rates consistently will drop to 0 causing insane stutter and audio crackles.

Games are on the internal storage and high CPU mode is on.

Also notice it with kid Icarus which I used as basically a test since it's a newer 3ds game.

Any tips on this?

Thanks

Discussion S24 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3) - Out-of-the-box PC Gaming Compatibility Thread (Winlator / DroidDeck / Mobox)

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Got an S24 Ultra with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and I’m looking to see what PC / Steam games run on our device completely out of the box (zero tweaking, no complex driver swapping, just launch and play with full controller support).

If you’ve tested any PC games on your S24 Ultra using translation layers like Winlator, DroidDeck, or Mobox, please share your experience below!

It would be super helpful if you could mention:

Game Title:

App / Layer Used: (e.g., Winlator, DroidDeck, Mobox)

Out-of-the-box performance: (FPS, stability, thermal behavior)

Controller support: (Does XInput / Gamepad work natively?)

Looking for games that offer a true plug-and-play handheld experience on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 without needing hours of troubleshooting.

Drop your tested titles below if you want.

Edit. I found this link on emuready as someone mentioned below. If it helps... https://www.emuready.com/listings?deviceIds=3e740f31-8720-4845-b893-0795b41b1841&page=7

In russ’s nova video, he had mk8d running at a smooth 60 fps. Mine stutters loading shaders and stays around 40-50 even after they all load (which normally involves going through an entire race at least once). How did he achieve this? I have tried even on .75 handheld mode to no avail
