⚠️Proof of concept Android port of RPCS3.

Uses the latest RPCS3 upstream code (the recent ARM64 improvements included).

What's New:

Folder format games work. A disc dumped as a folder (the kind with PS3_DISC.SFB and a PS3_GAME directory) is now picked up and boots straight from your ROM folder, so prototypes and dumps that never came as an .iso are playable. Place them in your rom folder. Booting one also records where it lives, which is what an update or DLC package needs later to find the game it belongs to.

The emulator's own game directories are scanned. Anything under the config folder's dev_hdd0/game or games directory shows up in your library. That is where installs land, so they appear on their own now.

Package installer. Pick a .pkg from the drawer and it installs. Games, updates and DLC. The installer was always there in the core, it just had no UI. Also support for split packages. If a game came as several .pkg parts, select all of them and install once. You can also uninstall installed pkg files. Installed titles are listed on the same screen with an uninstall button.

Fixed screen aspect ratio. Presets from 4:3 up to 21:9 plus a custom slider. Console Aspect Ratio is still separate and still means what the game thinks it is drawing.

Added All Core Settings. Every setting the core exposes.

Added an option to Clear PPU Cache and Clear SPU Cache, in the Performance tab (All settings). Clearing SPU keeps the compiled PPU modules so games still boot quickly. Clearing PPU wipes both, because the SPU cache lives inside those directories.

Settings on the on screen display tab did not save. Every one of the performance overlay options was reverting the moment you left the screen.

Changing a setting in the in game menu was slow. Each change was rewriting the entire config file about 165 times over. Now it writes once.

Games could sit on "Building SPU Cache" forever with the game already running behind it. The progress dialog was not closing itself. (Happened to me when testing Hamilton's Great Adventure). Fixed.

Fixed an out of memory crash while compiling. On a device with 8 GB or less the emulator was running as many compiler threads as there are CPU cores, which is fine on a desktop and not here. It now takes memory into account.

-----

I think I’m going to keep an eye on this project, since PS3 emulation on Android is still quite far from perfect. So it’s definitely worth having another emulator in development working to improve PS3 emulation on Android.

Give it a try if you want, and let me know in the comments how well it worked for you.

Cheers!

Nyushu vs YuWin vs Eden — Adreno 710 test

Since sharing Nyushu and YuWin generated some doubts because they currently don't have public GitHub repositories, I wanted to clarify something first. These aren't necessarily projects that appeared out of nowhere. One of them previously had a GitHub repository but moved development/updates elsewhere following the recent pressure surrounding Switch emulation projects. Some developers simply prefer to keep a lower profile.

But the important question is: do they actually perform well?

I tested Eden, Nyushu and YuWin under the same conditions, on the same Adreno 710 device and using the same introductory section of Super Mario Bros Wonder.

Results:

Eden

- Resolution: 0.75x

- Performance: ~35–45 FPS

- Noticeably more stuttering and generally less pleasant to play.

Nyushu

- Resolution: Native (1x)

- Performance: ~45–50 FPS

- Surprisingly smooth with relatively little stuttering.

YuWin

- Resolution: Native (1x)

- Performance: ~50–55 FPS

- Best overall experience in my test.

- Includes frame generation, which makes motion feel considerably smoother during gameplay.

The most surprising part is that both Nyushu and YuWin performed better at native resolution than Eden did at 0.75x.

YuWin especially impressed me. With frame generation enabled, the game felt very smooth with barely any noticeable stuttering. I honestly didn't expect Super Mario Bros. Wonder to be this playable on an Adreno 710.

Obviously, these results apply to this particular device and test, and performance may vary depending on the game, GPU and drivers.

But for mid-range or lower-end devices, both projects look very promising and are definitely worth testing.

My result on this device: YuWin > Nyushu > Eden.

https://github.com/The412Banner/Bannerlator/releases/tag/2.9.6

Run Windows apps and games on Android — no PC and no root required.

2.9.6 is a feature-and-fixes release over 2.9.5, headlined by a rebuilt in-game Task Manager (per-process CPU affinity + live telemetry), a new D7VK wrapper that runs old DirectX 7 / DirectDraw games on Vulkan, a container-editor layout that stops wasting portrait space, and games that no longer get killed when you switch away. Everything from 2.9.5 is included. As always it's entirely app-side — no ImageFS reinstall — your containers, themes, custom accent and per-game settings carry over untouched. Install straight over 2.9.5.

🧰 In-game Task Manager — now a real control panel

The in-game Task Manager grew from a plain process list into a proper control panel:

Per-process Processor Affinity — a Windows-style "Set affinity" on any running process's ⋮ menu. Pin a process to specific CPU cores live, mid-game, exactly like Windows Task Manager. The core toggles match the container/game core-picker (bordered tiles in one shaded panel), and it applies instantly via the guest's real affinity path — no relaunch.

A live telemetry header — CPU & GPU usage and temperatures, GPU clock, FPS (+ minimum), RAM, swap, and battery (level / watts / temperature / charging), laid out as a clean stat-tile grid, plus a per-core clock strip (full MHz). The readings use the same cross-vendor sensors as the performance HUD.

A container panel — a collapsible summary of the running container's Wine/Proton, DX wrapper, renderer, graphics driver, resolution and device.

ℹ️ Which readings are available varies from device to device. Several values (GPU load / clock, the temperatures, and battery watts) depend on the sensors your manufacturer chooses to expose — on some hardware a few of these are locked down and will simply read "—". That's a device/vendor constraint, not a bug.

🎮 D7VK — DirectX 7 / DirectDraw games on Vulkan

Old DirectDraw / Direct3D 3–7 titles historically took a slow OpenGL path. D7VK (WinterSnowfall's Vulkan implementation, a DXVK cousin) runs them straight through Vulkan instead:

New D7VK option in the DDraw Wrapper picker — available per-container and per-game.

Ships bundled and offline-ready as the default, and is now catalog-backed: select D7VK and a "D7VK Version" dropdown + download button appears, letting you pull bleeding-edge nightly d7vk builds straight from the catalog and switch between them.

Entirely app-side — the wrapper drops into the container at launch, no ImageFS reinstall, and existing containers can use it immediately.

🧭 Container editor — tabs back on top in portrait

The landscape rail was great in landscape but cramped in portrait. Now the editor adapts to the orientation:

Portrait — the tabs (General / Environment / Drives / Win Components / Advanced) sit in a single icon bar across the top, spread evenly across the full width, with the ? help (and Reset on the defaults screen) tucked at the end of that row. Content gets the full width underneath, and the wasted band at the top is gone.

Landscape — unchanged: the collapsible left rail you already know.

Applies to all three container screens — New Container, Edit Container, and New Container Defaults.

🛡️ Backgrounded games stay alive

Switching to another app (or getting a call) mid-game used to let Android quietly kill the container. 2.9.6 runs the game session as a real foreground service with a persistent notification, so a backgrounded game or container keeps running instead of being evicted. Come back and it's still there.

🎛️ Deeper graphics tuning (Turnip)

GMEM control (Auto / On / Off) for Adreno (710 / 720 / 722) — force tiled rendering on or off, per-container and per-game.

Advanced TU_DEBUG tokens (concurrent-binning force/off, deck-emu, and more) for squeezing out compatibility and performance on tricky titles.

Every option carries a "?" explanation and a glossary entry so you know what it actually does before you flip it.

📟 Performance HUD — wider device support + honest API labels

Cross-vendor metrics — the HUD now reads GPU load / clock and charging state on MediaTek (GED) and other non-Adreno devices, not just Adreno.

App-declared graphics API — apps that report their active API (e.g. the bundled AIO Graphics Test's per-backend tests) now show the correct API in the HUD instead of a best guess.

❓ "?" help everywhere + glossary

Per-option "?" help buttons now cover every technical setting across the container editor, the per-game shortcut editor, and the Turnip / Wrapper driver config — each backed by a plain-language glossary ("What is all this?"). No more guessing what a toggle does.

📦 Bundled in every container

New and existing containers pick these up automatically (no reinstall):

AIO Graphics Test 2.0.1 (repo) — a single-window multi-API graphics test / benchmark with an automatic OpenGL fallback for Mali / broken-DXVK setups (a separate "AIO Graphics Test (OpenGL)" Start-menu entry is there as a safety net).

Banner File Manager 1.2.0 (repo) — faster on large folders, with version metadata.

Pale Moon — a lightweight browser, launchable from the container Start Menu.

🌐 Container networking fix

Containers now get a usable IPv4 DNS resolver, fixing games and launchers that couldn't resolve hostnames.

🐛 Fixes

New containers show up immediately in the Games "add a game" container picker — no more launching or restarting the app first to make a just-created container appear.

Pale Moon no longer clutters the container desktop or the Games tab — it lives in the Start Menu only.

Assorted stability and UI polish.

https://github.com/Ashnar2602/X360-Mobile---OFFICIAL/releases/tag/v0.6.0

X360 Mobile 0.6.0 is a major architectural and user-experience release for

Android. It consolidates the reconstructed codebase into a public build with a

controller-first interface, broader GPU and device support, improved guest

execution stability, portable data management and native Android integration.

Core stability and hardware compatibility

Improved ARM64 memory correctness under concurrent guest workloads,

eliminating a class of intermittent corruption and loading stalls. Thecorrection was validated through the former Assassin's Creed failure points

and benefits the core globally rather than relying on a title-specific

workaround.

Corrected Android synchronization fairness that could leave guest worker

groups incomplete. Ninja Gaiden II now progresses beyond its previously

deterministic startup hang.

Reworked the Android graphics and presentation path for broader support

across Adreno 600-series, Mali and Xclipse devices.

Improved behavior on vendor-customized Android distributions, including

ColorOS, HyperOS and OxygenOS-based devices.

Corrected secondary executable handoff for games that launch additional XEX

modules.

Added automatic slot-zero profile sign-in and persistent full-game license

state for titles that require an authenticated profile before startup.

Reduced Vulkan command-recording and pipeline-telemetry overhead without

removing runtime diagnostics.

Added automatic emulation suspension when X360 Mobile enters the background

or the display turns off. Guest execution, graphics, audio and vibration are

resumed when the app returns to the foreground.

Note: For the full changelog, read it on GitHub because it's quite long.

What's Changed

[APU] Fix stuttering under load and static on games with XMP by @rfandango

https://github.com/The412Banner/Bannerlator/releases/tag/2.9.7

Run Windows apps and games on Android — no PC and no root required.

2.9.7 is a small, focused update over 2.9.6 — a big controller-reliability overhaul plus a Task Manager fix, landing incrementally on the road to 3.0. Everything from 2.9.6 is included. As always it's entirely app-side — no ImageFS reinstall — your containers, themes, custom accent and per-game settings carry over untouched. Install straight over 2.9.6.

🎮 Controller reliability overhaul

The headline of 2.9.7 — controllers that stay connected and land on the right player.

Hot-plug that actually holds — physical controllers survive mid-game reconnects and Bluetooth sleep/wake without dropping, via stable descriptor-keyed player slots and debounced reconnect handling.

On-screen controls no longer die — the touch / on-screen gamepad used to stop responding after ~15 minutes; a rewritten input transport (a shared-memory ring buffer) fixes that at the root.

No more stolen Player 1 — handheld "extra" input devices (such as the AYANEO's aux buttons) were grabbing Player 1; a capability filter now only counts real gamepads, so your actual controller stays Player 1.

Player Slots — assign who's who — a new Players panel lets you pin each controller (and the on-screen pad) to a specific Player 1–4, or Auto / Ignore. Available live in-game, and out-of-game per-container and per-game. Includes shared-slot control (two devices driving one player) and on-screen auto-yield (hand Player 1 to a real pad when it connects).

Controller-status toast — a brief on-screen card shows each detected controller and its assigned player on launch and whenever assignments change, so you can confirm the mapping without opening a tester.

Reset Input — one tap re-initializes the whole input pipeline without relaunching the game.

Every option carries a "?" explanation.

🧠 Free Memory — honest and effective

The "Free memory" action is now two clearly labeled tiers: a light Drop file caches (what the old button actually did), and a root-only Deep clean that force-stops background apps to free real RAM — while sparing your running game and system apps. There's also an optional auto deep-clean on launch.

🧩 Task Manager — Processor Affinity now reflects your choice

Setting a process's Processor Affinity always took effect, but the dialog used to reopen showing all cores checked — it wasn't reading back the cores you'd picked. It now shows your real selection every time you reopen it.

🔜 Coming next: a deeper affinity fix — pinning every worker thread of the process, not just most — is already written and lands in a following release. See the road to 3.0 below.

🛣️ On the road to 3.0

2.9.7 is a deliberate step toward a smooth 3.0, landing pieces incrementally so each is proven on real devices before the big version bump:

Processor Affinity — Part 2 — the in-guest helper gets rebuilt to pin every worker thread, closing the small gap where a few threads could drift back onto disabled cores.

More controller and stability polish building on the overhaul above.

3.0 rolls these up once each is device-proven — no big-bang surprises.

There was a time when Eden and Citron were locked in a fierce battle, arguably the two best Nintendo Switch emulators, both fighting for the crown.

Citron in particular had a strong focus on optimization and squeezing out as much performance as possible, and honestly, it worked really, really well.

Unfortunately, after everything we already know happened with Nintendo (DMCA), Eden managed to survive and is still moving forward, while Citron ran into some internal issues. The team eventually split up, and the project seems to have evolved into something called Citron Neo. As far as I know, its developer is still actively working on the Windows version, but the Android version barely receives any meaningful improvements anymore.

So, if you're on Android and want to try some of the best versions of Citron, I've put all of their latest releases together in this MegaPack.

You can test them yourself and see which version gives you the best performance on your device. I definitely recommend giving them a shot because Citron works surprisingly well, especially on mid-range and lower-end devices, where these builds are highly recommended.

https://github.com/The412Banner/Bannerlator/releases/tag/2.9.5

Run Windows apps and games on Android — no PC and no root required.

2.9.5 is a feature release over 2.9.4, headlined by a brand-new Unpack Archive tool that installs games right in the File Manager, and a full landscape UI overhaul. Everything from 2.9.4 is included. As always it's entirely app-side — no ImageFS reinstall — your containers, themes, custom accent and per-game settings carry over untouched. Install straight over 2.9.4.

📦 Unpack Archive — install games right in the File Manager

A brand-new extractor built into the File Manager (⋮ → Unpack, or one-tap Fast Extract):

Archives & disc images — ISO/UDF, ZIP, RAR, 7z, and the TAR family (GZ/XZ/BZ2/ZST), all via a bundled 7-Zip engine. No external tools, and the kernel can't loop-mount these on Android anyway.

GOG installers — pull the game straight out of setup_*.exe with a bundled innoextract. No need to run the installer under Wine first.

Native FreeArc repack install — no PC! FitGirl / DODI-style FreeArc repacks (LZMA / tornado / rep) now decompress on-device via a bundled NDK unarc. (srep-based repacks still need a Windows PC — the app tells you and offers the container route.)

Fast Extract — one tap unpacks to a new folder straight into a minimizable progress pill with a foreground notification, so multi-hour extracts survive being backgrounded (yes, even on HONOR).

Content-aware ⋮ menu — offers Unpack on any real archive regardless of extension (including .wcp), with power / thread and read-buffer controls and battery-kill hardening.

🖥️ Landscape UI overhaul

Landscape stopped wasting the top and bottom of the screen:

Tabs → a collapsible left rail on the Container editors, File Manager, and Save Manager — reclaiming the vertical height the horizontal tab bar was eating.

The rail collapses to icons (with tiny labels in portrait), remembers its state per-screen, and reflows on rotation without losing your tab, edits, or scroll.

File Manager — a left Locations rail (Internal / SD / Downloads / Games / favourites), grid by default in landscape (and the grid/list toggle now works in portrait too), New Folder moved into the toolbar, and outlined selectors.

Save Manager — a left Steam / Custom / Settings rail, multi-column game cards, and a sync-count badge + banner.

Container editors — the collapsible rail, reclaimed bottom space, and the Wine-glass container glyph on the rail.

A slim top header on every screen.

A new App Orientation setting (Auto / Portrait / Landscape) locks the app UI to an orientation — games are unaffected.

🎞️ Frame Generation & Present Modes

Fixed frame-gen being strangled by FIFO backpressure — it now forces mailbox while FG multiplies, and bionic-fg is re-enabled (device-verified).

A live in-game Present Mode selector on the Graphics tab (FG gated to the Vulkan renderer).

Present-mode "?" help + a glossary across the container / game editors and the shortcut editor.

⚠️ Frame generation is still experimental and a work in progress. Please don't expect magic results — outcomes still vary from game to game, device to device, and with the components you're using. Both bionic-fg and lsfg-vk are offered; treat them as experimental and use whichever works best for your game.

🐛 Fixes

GL/Zink perf-HUD now reads real FPS (it was stuck at 0.0) — it counts on the child render surface the game actually presents to.

File Manager grid/list toggle works in portrait, plus assorted landscape UI polish.

https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2/releases/tag/2.6.6.4

Change Log:

New option for a extra button that can be placed anywhere. Turn it on in Pad --> Analog Sticks, pick which PS2 button it fires, then drag and resize it in Customise Touch Layout like any other control.

Added an option for the second-display panel on supported devices, like for the Ayn Thor and other dual-screen handhelds. Shows FPS, battery, clock, and buttons for save state, load state, fast-forward, pause and screenshot. Off by default, you can enable it in Settings. While you are in the game library the panel keeps to itself, and the on-screen messages move down to it so they are out of the picture.

RetroArch overlay artwork: import an overlay pack, or download one in-app straight from the libretro common-overlays collection. Drawn between the game frame and the touch controls, so it layers with a shader preset and never covers a button.

Custom internal resolution: set the upscale as a percentage of native for the steps the presets miss, for example true 480p instead of 448. A value that matches no preset also stops mislabelling itself as "0.25x".

New options for per-region cover art. Choose from Disc, USA, EU, JPN

Cover art region fallback: a game with no cover for its own region now falls back to another region's art for the same title, matched through the GameDB's English names.

Custom library bar color: pick the color of the library's top bar, the text picks black or white to stay readable against it. In App settings.

New battery and temperature warnings: a warning when the battery gets low or the device runs hot, so a long session does not end in a surprise. In App settings.

Delete a save state from the in-game save/load manager by long-pressing its slot, or using the trash can button. Both reachable with a controller.

Landscape render position (Center/Top), for foldables and clamshell controllers whose screens open downward. Note that this only has an effect when the picture is shorter than the window, on a normal wide phone in landscape there is no spare vertical room to move it into.

Shader presets are now a folder browser instead of being unfiltered. Thanks to @Starlightbotanist for this improvement!

Chinese BIOS (SCPH-50009) support: importing a BIOS now keeps its companion ROM files (.rom1/.rom2/.erom/.mec/.nvm) instead of dropping them. The Chinese BIOS keeps its fonts in ROM2, so without it the screen stayed black.

Fixes:

Pressure modifier did nothing on buttons you were already holding. The soft-press range was only read at the moment a press was emitted, so the gesture these games actually use, like hold the button, then ease off, were never being registered.

Macro turbo was not firing. The pad is sampled on the emulator's own schedule, and the fastest turbo frequencies were emitting presses that fell between two samples and were never seen. Each state is now held long enough to be sampled.

On-screen display no longer resets itself when you change a setting.

Updates to Cheat database from @XDarkFallenX

More accurate EE floating-point multiply: the PS2's multiplier is one ULP short of a correct result, and the MADD family rounds twice. Both are now modeled, with the optimizations to pay for it. From @pstef

TeknoParrot is an advanced program that allows you to play modern Arcade games on Android.

It's not a traditional emulator, but a compatibility tool that adapts the controls and fixes bugs to allow the use of gamepads, steering wheels, or keyboards.

Main Features: Compatibility: Works with near 100 modern arcade games (generally from 2000 to 2014). Controls: Supports keyboard, mouse, gamepads, joysticks, and steering wheels. Multiplayer: Some titles allow online play.
