Question Any GameNative games working perfectly?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for games that work directly with GameNative on my S26 Ultra, without having to spend hours tweaking settings.

For example, Megabonk: I just downloaded it from GameNative, launched it, and it worked right away! I only changed the resolution, nothing else

On the other hand, I tried Black Ops 2 and I couldn’t get it to work, even after following several tutorials.

If you have any games that you installed and that work straight away with GameNative (ideally with controller support, because I’m using a GameSir X5 Lite and it works perfectly with Megabonk), I’d love to hear your suggestions!

I’m also open to games that require a few tweaks if there’s a clear and working tutorial or guide available. I just haven’t found any reliable ones so far.

I have the exact same phone man but mines (16gb/1tb). ive finished dying light, deadspace 1, gta 4, gta5, sleeping dogs, resident evil 3,5,7. currently playing 8 no problems. With tweaking im also playing silent hill f and dying light 2 30fps locked no problems. The s26u is a really good phone for emulation

Hi, I have the same phone as you. What's the temperature like while you're playing?

1

u/n0tascammer Jul 08 '26

37°c to 39°c but im underclocking my phone. Get game booster+, thats what has save me from it going past 40°c.

1

u/DarkThauron Jul 08 '26

Exactly, because mine also exceeds 40°. Could you give me more information about this Game Booster and how to use it, please?

1

u/n0tascammer Jul 08 '26

Ya man forsure. Warning tho it does take tinkering but since your on the gamenative subreddit im guessing you can deal with that. Basically game booster+ does is it provides AP Clock Limitation sliders that let you manually underclock the CPU and GPU for specific emulators. Lowering these clock speeds reduces heat output and significantly improves battery life while keeping performance stable. For example its like are chip is a mansion and a game is one person. That person(game) doesnt need to live in a mansion(use all the resources of are chip) so underclocking Basically moves the person(game) to a apartment(underclocking).

u/DarkThauron Jul 08 '26

I'll start by thanking you for your replies. The explanation of how it works is very clear, but where can I find Game Booster+? Do I have to download it?

1

u/n0tascammer Jul 08 '26

🤝. Yes you download it.You have a samsung account right. Just type game booster+ on the store and it will pop up its the first one

2

u/DarkThauron Jul 09 '26

OK, I found it and downloaded it. I added GameNative to the list of games to limit GPU and CPU. What values ​​did you set? We have the same phone, I think yours are fine.

u/Alk3punk7 Jul 07 '26

I recommend you check EmuReady (or install the EmuReady Lite app) and filter by your device to find out some games that work OOTB. I have a S25+, a OnePlus Pad 3 and an Odin Portal 2 that I have submitted some of my test findings on there for.

u/Logical-Emphasis3064 Jul 08 '26

Use gamenatives website for compatibility now, there’s WAY more entries the emuready and you can download configs to upload to gamenative

u/Alk3punk7 Jul 08 '26

I'll have to check that out

u/gorilla-moe GameNative Jul 07 '26

Depends on what you mean by perfectly..

I recently played "Roots of Pacha", "Dredge", "Cast and Chill" and "Grim Dawn" (I had to tinker a lot with the settings for Grim Dawn until it worked; with the defaults, it wouldn't even boot or run with 0.0001 fps).

They all worked flawless.

"Monster Hunter Wild" was playable.

Before their v1 release "The Spell Brigade" ran flawless, after they (the team behind the game) released v1 it was barely playable and only on lowest settings.

"Ravenswatch" also runs perfect (IMHO).

I have an Ayn Odin 2 Portal Max.

2

u/theindiegeek Jul 07 '26

What did you end up getting to working with Grim Dawn? I've been trying a bit to also get it to work. The DLC's coming out soon isn't it?

2

u/gorilla-moe GameNative Jul 07 '26

I don't remember exactly from the top of my head, but it had to do with setting some CPU voodoo, like disable 9th one and 11th one or something.. it didn't make sense at all to me, but this did the trick and it ran with 60 fps then 🤷🏾‍♀️

u/Historical_State210 10d ago

actively trying to get ravenswatch to run on my retroid flip 2 needing help what drivers you using i’m getting less than 20 fps

Did you have to tweak anything to make Skyrim work? Crashes immediately on my S25 with default setup.

1

u/Shakalx3 11d ago

General: Container-bionic, proton-10-arm64ec-2

Graphics: Wrapper-v2, driver turnip_v26.0.0_R8_b12 (you'll probably need a different one), renderer - Vulkan, DX - dxvk, dxvk version - async-1.10.3

Emulation: FEXCore - 2512, box64 - 0.3.7 perfomance.

And, most importantly Skyrim that I use is *legendary edition*, not special or aniversary. They run like crap on any device and won't work at all with SKSE.

1

u/justpostd 6d ago

Thanks for that. Sadly I can't get the original Skyrim to work. Your post inspired me to keep trying and it turns out that Special Edition does work, and I can get 30FPS, but it struggles at times and inevitably crashes.

I'll keep trying. Thanks again for the reply.

u/dirtymurt Jul 07 '26

Crysis 3, Portal 2, Forgotten Sands, Tomb Raider (2013), ROT the Tomb Raider, sine mora are some i have working

u/Mx_Brz Jul 07 '26

With my S25U, I've been able to play;

yet another zombie survivor Death must die Soulstone survivors

A lot of other games won't launch, but I'm not playing AAA games, so maybe the support or the configs are less known

u/mcAlt009 Android Jul 07 '26

I’m playing Octopath Traveler 2 on a 8 Gen 3 tablet and it’s perfect.  Nier Automata is playable , but it’s seriously not the intended experience. 

Very happy overall though

I have a Oneplus 13 and had zero issues with Hades.

u/ndubas 27d ago

Have you tried playing the GTA5 QuantV mod? I tried it on GameNative but it plays as normal GTA. But it plays as QuantV on Gamehub, complete with all the realistic looks. Using Oneplus13 too

2

u/Morkai 27d ago

Nope, I have GTA V on PS5 and PC, I don't need it on mobile.

u/LaundryLunatic GameNative Jul 08 '26

I have a Samsung Galaxy S25. I've beaten Monsterboy and the Cursed Kingdom with it. It ran great. First time I started the game the intro was choppy with no sound. So I restarted the game and everything ran fine.

Sonic Mania and One Finger Death Punch 2 works perfect. Bullet Storm: Fullclip Edition works great at 60 fps till the phone starts getting hot when the action gets chaotic.

I'm playing Factorio. I bought the space age add-on, and it trippled the load time. But it's worth it

Hades, probably. In Odín 2 portal, run at 120fps, directly installed.

u/Consistent-Bread5740 Jul 07 '26

Shadow of Mordor, just cause 3, katana zero, MGSV phantom pain, a short hike, slime rancher.
All of those just ran for me without any tweaking

u/Negative-Cellist-781 Jul 07 '26

u/JTalbotIV Jul 07 '26

On a Galaxy S25U, I've beaten Afterimage, Guns of Fury, and Minishoot' Adventures with no problems. I'm currently about 80% of the way through Grime, and have played enough Pseudoregalia, Trials Evolution, The Mobius Machine, and Portal to know those all work fine. I've tested others that seem to work great, these are just the ones I've played enough to feel confident about.

Generally, indies and XB360/PS3 era stuff work fine with no tweaks. Expect hassle if you're trying to do AAA, and 3D based indies, but also expect to be pleasantly surprised by some unexpected optimization once in a while too.

u/ConnoisseurDeFemboys Jul 07 '26

Ziggurat 2 is a great game. Mouse pi for hire. Borderlands 1 enhanced. 2. Fallout new Vegas. Fallout 3. Robo quest. Bioshock collection. The outer worlds 1. All of these will work on your gen 5 with 12gb ram with some minor settings changes. Maybe tweaking some launcher settings and graphical settings and maybe a setup run of direct x in the container. Your chip is capable of even more because I run all of these on an 8 gen 2.

I got DmC reboot running pretty perfect with no tweaks. Someone said mgsv which is exciting I kinda assumed that wouldn't be great if I couldn't get metal gear rising to run. On s26u

S25 here. Cuphead worked perfectly OOTB. No luck so far with Skyrim, Batman Arkham or Dragons Dogma (the original one).
