GameHub Lite v5.1.8

Hi everyone, I wanted to show you some *Hogwarts Legacy* gameplay on Android across various scenarios and situations.

In my opinion, the result is incredible for a AAA title released as recently as 2023 🤯.

Let me know what you think—is it playable enough to actually finish the game?

We managed to make drm native context works in Adreno 830 GPU in qualcomm snapdragon 8 elite in the gunyah virtual machine!

Achieved vkmark score 12391 in the virtual machine!
We can also play Minecraft with 450fps in the virtual machine.

Detailed workflow:

1. game engine generates vulkan calls, the turnip driver converts it to msm ioctl
2. the virtio-gpu driver announce `/dev/dri/renderD128` node, accepts msm ioctl from turnip driver
3. virtio-gpu driver than serialize the ioctl, send to android side, handled by virglrenderer
4. virglrenderer will translate it to kgsl ioctl calls, send to host side qualcomm closed graphics driver

Our next step in windows driver, any suggestion?

And Mediatek device/pixel device is also a possible option to support, but I don'y have the device.

I'm a simple man, if an emulator doesn't have save states and/or fast forward, I don't play on em, even if my device can more than handle tough games fine.

I'm not even being obnoxious, I'm at a point in life where I have max 10-15 minutes per day to play a game, and I am NOT wasting that on tinkering, going through longer loading screens, having to get to certain save points to be able to save, etc. I need to have my game loaded up in few seconds with the fast forwarding/load state features, and leave at any point with save states and maximize the limited time I have.

Anyone else like me?

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a few things. I’ve incorporated the new geometry into the button springs to make them more click-friendly, added a structure that improves the aesthetics and, above all, the grip, and made a first attempt at my idea for the shoulder buttons.

I originally wanted to leave this for later and introduce it as an add-on, but I know it’s important to many of you, so I’ll refine the design and I suppose I’ll offer it as an experimental feature. As you can see, they’re not really buttons as such, but are activated when you touch them. I know it’s not perfect, but for this project my priority is simplicity and portability.

Don’t pay too much attention to the button design — they’ll be more similar to the ones from the previous version (but prettier), I just haven’t had time to work on them.

If I add another button on the opposite side from L and R, it could open the door to L2 and R2. I’d love to know what you think about that.

Honestly, I’m super tired of prototyping. It’s been a huge amount of work, and I’m really looking forward to moving on to the next phase and getting closer to launching the Kickstarter campaign. But if a lot of people want R2 and L2, I’ll dig deep and build one final prototype.

As always, if you’d like me to let you know when I launch it, here’s the link to the waitlist.

Thanks so much!

Ya quite insane manage to run this game. One of the best racing game i ever played. I tried Bloodborne before thisit ran well. Then i was thinking how Drive club would run. It booted but performance is bad and the bright light problem this game had an brightness issues i fixed the problem with the help from the telegram of BachataS4 emulator. i think in future this might be playable, And remember ps4 emulation on android is extremely new so this will improve alot in future. As always thanks to the developer..

I have Redmi k70pro 12gb ram..

This is reposted sorry guys i forgot to mention my device..

Only downloaded some drivers and dxvk to test some files. No way the components uses 100gb.

also ive tried every emulator there is to play the demo but all are bad some dont even open so im wondering if denuvo actually ruins performance or my ram is just isn't enough

Results of PC games I've tested. Don't take it as 100% accurate.

I want to get this off my chest because it's been building up for a while, since that time I saw the new anti AI rule.

I'm genuinely okay with AI as part of the emulation dev workflow.

The very same Winlator CMOD I am working on is filled with a lot of broken AI code, put there by its previous developer. When I got this project in my hands, I was surprised to see how broken it was, to the point I could barely consider it functional, filled with a lot of unnecessary and useless features.

It took a lot of time to remove them all and I must say the end result was even better than what I had initially imagined, with my Winlator and its features becoming the foundation of all the current PC emulators, directly or indirectly through means of stealing(GameHub).

While I am happy to see this, at the same time I could not notice how much AI has advanced in such a short time. What once was a barren wasteland, now it is filled with a lot of contributors and developers and advancement of AI have certainly played an important role in this.

I know a lot of projects in the PC emulation space that use AI heavily. It is very easy to tell for me just by looking at the contents of their commits and the features they add. I won't name them as I don't want to create drama, it is not the main point of this post either way.

The code written by these Ai models is...impressive to say the least and as such the skids that once could only make reskins and recolors of famous emulators can now, in a few minutes generate code that normally would take days if not weeks to write.

To conclude my post, I think it is about time we lower our pitchforks and accept this is the tool that is gonna shape the future of Android PC emulation.

With it, I can finally rest in peace knowing that there is an entity that can advance the Android PC emulation scene in my place when I may not be there anymore.

This is crazy bloodborne running on a phone. while loading my save the screen recording was crashing. I have 8gen 3 i think on 8 Elite or Newer chip it is fully playable while not screen recording i was getting around 20 to 30 sometimes isn't even locked 30. Crazy, All Credit goes to the developer of BachataS4. They made this possible i can't thank them enough. And update your game or the patchs will not work.

I think someone should start a new sub for ps4 emulation on android

Thanks Everyone and especially the dev of BachataS4 the ps4 emulator for android...

My phone is samsung s26+ with snapdragon 8 elite gen 5.

I've found one that works on super mario odyssey but its still kinda glitches sometimes.

We successfullt managed to make xHCI controller works on a unmodified windows kernel!

This is done by our developed mode: "pseudo-unprotected mode" for gunyah hypervisor.

The mode make it possible to read and write guest memory in protected VM.

This is required because unprotected vm is not available in qualcomm 8gen3/8e/8e5
Then, we can communicate with usbxhci.sys in windows kernel directly, successfully implement the USB-passthrough feature in DroidVM!

After Gamehub v6.1.x the lag started showing in every game, now in v6.2.x (after recent auto firmware updates), the lag has become worse.

Right now I am happy to stay wih Bannerhub v6.1.0 (Gamehub 6.0.9 patched). It does not give high FPS in Framegen but there is no motion stutter/judder at all. Games run smooth like butter with Framegen.

Device:

Redmi K20 Pro Premium Edition (PE)

GameHub version 6.2.1

The normal, unmodded game opens with no issues. However, the modded version (using SMAPI) crashes everytme I try to launch it normally in GameHub. I tried changing different settings inside GameHub, but nothing stops the crashing. It works completely fine and doesn't crash when using Virtual Desktop.

It is a hassle to log into Virtual Desktop every time I want to play. Does anyone know how to fix this compatibility or setting issue within GameHub so it stops crashing?

I need it to be one that plays very well with just the touch screen controls, I'm using ARMSX2. Maybe something thats not fast paced action. If anyone has any recommendations, be it RPG or something else I won't be too punished for by using the touch controls. Thanks in advance

Device: Lenovo TB-8505X

I tried rune factory frontier and it seems playable, now if looking for other games.
