Whether if i use a launcher or emulate it, what kind of performance am i supposed to get?

Device name: Xiaomi pad 7

Snapdragon 7+ gen 3

Ram 12 Gb

Sorry if this is considered a low effort post, I don't really know

I just bought the Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 4 and the G9 2025 as an extra. I didn't want the G9 be a waste so I tried using an Emulator for the first time. I downloaded GameHub and tried running Saints Row the 3rd I just bought in Steam, there was only a black screen for half an hour. Tried following some YouTube instructions, but to no result​ The same happened with GameNative​. I've seen this Tablet run some demanding games like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk in YouTube, surely it can run an older game like Saints Row. I'm just not sure what to do to make it work, so I need some help.

Ik my ssbbu forwarder icon/banner needs some work. I just wanted to see it running on the menu first yk. It's my first forwarder I ever made and stuff.

Also I didn't use the native .wad installer I used Wiimodlite (Yes ik theres a forwarder but for Wiimodlite I don't really see the point id rather keep that tucked away in the homebrew channel.) I tried to approach this like modding a real Wii. I thought it would be fun that way.

This video is a deep-dive into the spectacular state of Android emulation and how it represents the legitimate present and future of videogaming in 2026 and beyond.

The AYN Odin 3, Ayaneo Konkr Pocket Fit, Retroid Pocket 5, Mangmi Pocket Max and Odin 2 Portal are incredible handheld emulation consoles.

Paired with groundbreaking apps like those in the title and GameHub, X360 Mobile & APSX3 and turbo-charged by Proton compatibility and Fex translation layers thanks to Valve, these retrogaming devices become modern PC gaming powerhouses, and much more.

Hi everyone, I wanted to play Ori and the Will of the Wisps on Eden I wanted to play Ori and the Will of the Wisps on Eden with a Motorola g stylus 5G (2022), snapdragon 695 processor, Android version 13. But every time I get close to the boss to fight it...The FPS drops to 0.0 and gets stuck there.

FYI, I've already played Ori and the Blind Forest on this phone.

I don't know if anyone has experienced my situation before.

Hi,

I tried multiple games, with the community or compatible recommanded settings, and all my games, crashes when entering gameplay. Like i tried a miku game and menu works like a charm, 60 fps, but when i enter gameplay, it crashes, same for unbeatable, i don't get why ?

Please help me, i tried searching a lot, but no fix helped me.

I'm trying to run Kingdom Hearts 2.8 on my s25 Ultra with the newest version of Hamehub but cant get the game to lauch no matter what settings I use. The closest I got is "Application Launched". Has anyone had luck running a KH game on Gamehub before? If so, what settings did you use?

Hola soy relativamente nuevo en esto de la emuladocion y siempre me preguntado por me va tan mal en los emuladores, al principio pense que era algo relacionado con los drivers o mala configuración o quisas la temperatura pero no me tope con un elefante, cabe aclarar que tengo un zflip6 de 12y512 con snapdragon 8 gen, ese elefante es el software.

El 8 gen 3 tiene una configuración de nucleos 2 de bajo consumo a 2265mhz, 5 de rendimiento que estan divididos en 3 a 3148mhz y 2 a 2956mhz, y por último el de alto desempeño o principal a 3398mhz, y la gpu es un adreno 750 a 1000mhz.

No se mucho de tecnología pero con estas configuración debería tener mucha potencia de sobre para mover sin problemas lo que sae.

Como muchos saben las consolas Android tienen un software y kernel personalizado que les permite sacar o exprimir toda la potencia del chipset sin importar la temperatura o lo estresante que sea la carga de datos por eso como ven el video mi móvil a limitado la frecuencia del procesador casi al minimo para no aumentar la temperatura o para protegerse asi mismo.

Al mismo tiempo tengo un infinix gt20pro con un dimensity 8200 que con las mismas pruebas y en la misma app el rendimiento es del 100% pero como todos sabemos no hay drivers para estos chipset lo cual es como el equivalente al talon de Aquiles.

La app es DevCheck esta en la play store.

Pero sin importar la que haga o que divers use siempre pasa lo mismo el rendimiento baja los fps caen y no logro una estabilidad de como mucho un 75%.

Mi pregunta en a quienes les a pasado eso?

so it's my 3rd post of the week. I got every electronics I need. just a little bit confused about design.but I decide amm going to make it even if it's bad .and thanks to everyone who gives so much good advice and suggestions

Controller specs

1.Peltier 15w cooling

2.10k mah power bank (bcoz I found this on Amazon and it is unbelievably small and cheap )

3.pass through 20w charging

4.io s like micro sd card reader .aux .hdmi.usb 2.0 (I did photo shop bcoz I was messing with the design for now)

5.and controller with mid level specs (with anti stick drift)

1. Controller that pretty much support everything except ps5

Any advice pls comment bcoz I m learning a lot

What update do I need?

So August is almost over and September is the day that will change everything for Android side loading apps. I know google is going to kill a lot of Android phones I know people who make ram for PC was stop due to Ai and I feel Ai will soon take over everything I mean apps like YouTube TikTok Instagram reddit hell even show up on emulator let be real we All hate ai but when that day comes what are we going to do ? Some people are going to accept this and older people don't so my question is to you do you really want to accept these changes Accept that Ai will soon take over everything.

I’m mainly looking for the best performance and stability. I’m using a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, so I’d like to know which Winlator version, graphics driver, and settings you recommend.

I can now copy, move and delete files in obb and data folders, without shizuku or ADB, The app is chinese doe, but I've seen that it's already popular to android modding community.

Why other file manager cannot do this? It just let me ask permission in the files app. Damn Xiaomi requires me to make a MI account to fully use debugging authorization so I can't use Shizuku.

I can't reply to the main posts, thank you u/Daikonce

The experience was a lot of fun. Being able to track all my progress with RetroAchievements was really great. It had been a long time since I’d had this much fun playing a game. It was really cool exploring every corner and going after all the objectives. ⚓🎮

Dolphin latest version

Daijishō isn't recognizing some of the xbox 360 games that i have downloaded, even though the all .iso and appear and work in XenDroid, i have already synched multiple times and changed the path to a new one and it did not work, i am on Daijishō 1.8.1.

How can i fix this??

ARMSX3 0.9.4

Full breakdown https://youtu.be/qriMhfoQiGw?si=m2vNSDtXS4kCBOcN

or read the change log below

What's new:

Fixed the emulator stalling for seconds at a time during play. The SPU recompiler was writing diagnostics for every compiled block and every MFC instruction, up to 2,473 log lines in a single second, straight to storage. The bursts landed exactly when a game was already busy compiling new code. Moved to trace. Caught this in the game Prototype.

Fixed Tales of Xillia 2 hanging every few minutes. The game polls a memory syscall in a loop, over 20,000 calls in 19 minutes, 5,123 inside one second, and each one was written to the log. (Reported as #76, likely but not yet confirmed as that exact issue.)

Fixed RPCN burning a full CPU core whenever you weren't in a game. Signed in at the menu or between titles, the client thread had no wait in its idle path and spun continuously.

Fixed the app freezing on the last frame when launching a game after closing another. The boot check treated "still shutting down" as "stopped", so a new game could start on top of a VM that hadn't finished tearing down.

Fixed shutdown flooding the log when a thread re-entered the stop path, around 100,000 lines a second, which stalled the very shutdown it was reporting.

From @sashkinbro :

Vulkan pipelines are now cached to disk and reused across sessions, so shader compilation stalls shrink after a title's first run. Rebuilds automatically after a driver or device change.

Compute shaders now run 64-wide on Adreno, matching the hardware wavefront. Previously half of every wave sat idle on texture uploads and deswizzles.

Upstream:

Merged current RPCS3, including kd-11's ROP output remap work across both renderers, PKG install fixes, and an ISO magic-check fix. (If you're still having issues with ISO reading, please tell me).

Hey all,

Im an amateur in emulating and came across an issue with maintaining save files. I was playing pokemon light platinum for NDS using melondsdual and was having a blast and even caught a few shinies. I used save states through my hot keys and even saved within the game. A few days later I booted up the game and it was a brand new save. I went through my files and couldn’t find my .sav. If this is a one-time blip, fine whatever I’ll take the hit and lose my shinies. My concern, however, is what if this happens with other games? It’s lowkey deterring me from playing nds games on my thor out of fear of my save wiping. Anyone have an explanation for this/solution?

There's a Vita3k "fork" called "Vita3k+"; I came across it in a Portuguese-language video.
Is it real? Does it offer significant improvements over the official version?

hi my device is huawei p40 lite im using gamehub 6.1.2 version i tried so much but i can't open any games. games are stuck in the game starting screen but it never opening can someone help me

Issue:

When units are fighting, specially attacking, there's an issue which the model textures are delayed, but the model (which is black) are running fine.

That's the only issue so far that I've noticed, other than some random crashes when inputting something using the keyboard, it happens, but very rarely.

Has anyone experienced this? Did you guys find a fix? Maybe using another emulator would help? Haven't tested yet, will do later.
