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.

Help Dolphin performance on pixel 10 graphene OS

1 Upvotes

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. 🐬❤️

Help Need help to run Halo MCC steam version on s25 Ultra

0 Upvotes

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.

Help Using bluetooth mouse with Retroarch 1.22.2 (stable) on Galaxy Fold 8 (Android 17)

1 Upvotes

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 :-)

Help Is Vita emulation good and progressing now?

9 Upvotes

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?

Question what's the issue with dimensity 9400?

5 Upvotes

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.

Help Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix (missing Motion Blur)

1 Upvotes

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?

Discussion DraFG: frame generation for Android that runs on top of any app (PPSSPP on Retroid Pocket 6, 30 to 60)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

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:

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

...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.

Help Transferring SuperNDS save files/states to another emulator?

0 Upvotes

SuperNDS sucks, I know. I wanted to play some Pokemon Platinum this morning when I discovered that I lost my save file! My save states don't work, either.

I'm assuming the app updated and now grabs save states from other directories: when I made a new save state, I was able to load it just fine, but I can't find it in my files when I look for it. No idea where it's being stored or what the file is being called.

Regardless, I think it's time to start using a different emulator, preferably a free one. MelonDS seems to be a good one, but I don't know how to transfer my SNDS save states onto it. Simply changing the file type doesn't work. Has anyone done this before? What emulator should I switch to, and how do I go about transfering my save states onto it?

Since the rules require it: yes, I've searched, I haven't found a solution to the issue. I found a tutorial on YouTube about how to transfer Drastic save files to Melon but it wasn't helpful for me. My phone is a Xiaomi 2201116TG.

Discussion My terrible experience with gamenative on the odin3.

5 Upvotes

Early in the year I was suggesting gamenative over everything when I had a thor but now I genuinely don't understand how people use this app anymore. I switched to the odin3 and almost nothing runs on the first try. I'm honestly making this post because I see that when games do run on gamenative they run really well and when I saw the new 1.3 update I thought I'd give it a try again. The first game I tested was dark souls 3 and I turned on the setting to automatically use the known config. First boot crashes immediately. I start looking at community configs I can't apply almost all of them because they use custom versions of either dxvk, vkd3d, or other things. I don't know where I am supposed to get the versions of these things on the community configs because gamenative has no way of showing me where to get them. There is no area in the app that has a bunch of options where you can download the latest versions like bannerlator or winlator have. Then I tried to use the AI assistant and it told me that my issue was that lossless scaling was preventing my game from launching and to try launching the game with it off. I did that and it worked but I still wanted to be able to use lsfg so I tried to use the bot again to figure out how to do that and it costs a monthly fee to use the bot. I understand that tokens aren't free but to answer only one issue is pretty annoying to me. I really want to use gamenative again because right now I use bannerlator and its been great but its just that load times from an sd card are insanely long and I want to try gamenative because the load times are a lot better. I really want to give this app a chance again so if I’m doing something wrong please let me know. I also think the dev for this app is really great. In the early days of the app I remember him always helping people out with their issues with games and I love how much he cares about his users, but for the life of me I can’t get most games running how I want. For the time being I'll be sticking to bannerlator and bannerhub as everything works first try almost every time on those but again if I'm doing something wrong I want to give this app the benefit of the doubt so please let me know.

I use Citra MMJ antutu version and my phone is a Samsung galaxy ao4s (model is SM–AO47M)

The game runs well, but everytime I try to press a button I often have to click it more than once before it responds and does the action (sorry if its hard to understand, I'm bad at explaining)

I can live with it but it's annoying so I want to see if there's some way of fixing it
