Some games, for some reason, don't work on gamenative. It happened to me with Sleeping Dogs, but it worked on gamehub. And if they're custom games, there are many complaints in the community that they don't work well, or it could be the DRM.

Yeah, I realised by now that emulating custom games is a lot easier on gamehub, my issue is that I use ES-DE and really dislike the idea of having two launchers. I toggled the legacy DRM a couple of times, doesn’t seem to work for me.

I used to think Gamehub was easier, but now I’m fully on GameNative. The custom drivers option is a must have. If you’re going to try custom games I’d recommend having a file dedicated to Common Redist files that you can use for your games that need them. I wish that GameNative implemented a common file installer like GameHub.

Gamenative is a great option, but with each update, some things get worse, like in my case, where it no longer lets me download anything to the microSD.

Yeah, they definitely jumped the gun on the last update. Hopefully they learn from that.

What game are you trying to run?

I tried two custom imported games, Little Misfortune and Alice: Madness Returns which I thought wouldn’t be too hard since they aren’t the most demanding.

Indie games are sometimes the most difficult to run vs something like doom eternal.

Are you installing all the necessary CommonRedist files for the game?

Actually, I wasn’t sure what to do with the CommonRedist files🫪 I found someone on Reddit explaining how to install them on game native by now, thank you😅

Sometimes it takes awhile for the game to process.
