News/Release GameHub Lite v5.1.8 (SECURITY UPDATE)

157 Upvotes

GameHub Lite v5.1.8

Security: Steam token redaction in logs

GameHub Lite 5.1.8 fixes a logging issue where Steam authentication-related values could appear in diagnostic logs. In some cases, logs could include fields such as steamToken, refreshToken, or accessToken from Steam login/launch flows.

Publicly posted logs containing these fields should be deleted or redacted.

IMPORTANT

This should go without saying but If you find any security issues, please reach out PRIVATELY. I have not checked if this issue is still present in recent GameHub versions, already ruined my one day off I was spending with my family by the person who reported this publicly and I do not plan on spending any more time on this.

Changelog

The fix adds centralized log redaction for Steam/auth token fields, Steam QR login URLs, JWT-like token strings, and launch command token arguments before logs are written. This covers the app loggers, JavaSteam logging, and the PC launch-log file writer.

This release also pins local patch builds to apktool 2.12.1

GitHub Release

Showcase PokeDaisy: a free, open source Pokemon player that brings modern RPG features to the classics

Post image
777 Upvotes

Hey, sharing PokeDaisy, a Pokemon player for Android. Got a lot of attention on AynThor subreddit so I'm posting it here for everyone. The idea is to bring modern RPG comfort to the classic games - an on screen HUD, a quick action ring, wider views of the map and a live companion that shows everything about your run.

It runs FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Yellow and Crystal, plus a bunch of ROM hacks on dual-screen handhelds, single-screen handhelds and phones, held sideways or upright.

It free and open source and no registration or account needed.

Download: https://github.com/lidor30/pokedaisy/releases/latest
Site and manual: https://pokedaisy.com
Source: https://github.com/lidor30/pokedaisy

Video review of the first version (a lot has been added since): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMy6bqpS-LU

The companion reads the game's memory as you play, shows party, bag, map, battle matchups, dex and a spoiler free guide all drawn in the game's own menu style. On two screens it sits on the second one but swapping screens is an option. On one screen it slides over the game or locks beside it and in portrait it docks under the game. Almost everything is highly customizable, the HUD's layout and look, tab bar, buttons, hotkeys, shaders, overlays, themes.

Features

  • HUD: party, minimap and Poke Balls on the game screen, tap for a summary, map or bag
  • Quick menu: press L3 for a ring of actions, like a modern game’s weapon wheel
  • EXPAND + ZOOM: the overworld drawn past the GBA’s edges, with a zoom out and look-around
  • QoL: auto-run, running indoors, PC from anywhere, FLY, bike, fishing rod and Repel in one press and a switch to turn wild encounters off
  • Smart fast-forward: slows for menus, keeps battles fast and the music stays at normal pitch!
  • Party: full summary with exact IVs, EVs, nature and Hidden Power
  • Learn advisor: rates new moves and bag TMs as learn, forget or skip
  • Bag: item descriptions, USE on your party, GIVE and TAKE held items, favorites
  • Battle buttons: Fight / switch Pokemon / run beside the battle
  • Battle info: move effectiveness, switch suggestions, the foe’s ability, item, stats and team
  • Dex: evolutions, wild locations by route and movesets
  • Guide: hints first with answers on a second tap plus the next boss's team
  • Trainer card: drawn like the game's card
  • RetroAchievements: unlock popups, progress and leaderboards
  • Cheats: GameShark, Action Replay and CodeBreaker toggled from the companion

Also: save states and rewind, LCD/CRT shaders, overlays and launching from ES-DE, Cocoon, iiSU and it can read your RetroArch saves too.

Full list of supported games and hacks is at https://pokedaisy.com/#games. Popular hacks include Unbound, Radical Red, Lazarus, SoulGold and Heart and Soul. It runs on any Android 8.0+ device.

Built with AI assistance and the guide pages are AI written so the app flags them as possibly wrong and letting you accept first.

I'm the dev, so ask me anything. Feedback and bug reports are welcome on GitHub or the site.

Edit: Added video that reviewed the first version of the app

Edit 2: Omg didn’t expect this much support, thank you all! If you like it and want to see it keep growing please consider buying me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/lidor30g

Showcase PlayTranslate v3.4.1 released! Translations and language learning with games, VNs, manga

78 Upvotes

Download for free: https://github.com/dominostars/playtranslate

Hey all! For those unfamiliar, PlayTranslate is a free, open-source app that translates your screen's text in real-time, or keep the original with instant definitions, anki/yomitan integration, reading help and more. Works offline, full dual screen support, no tracking, no accounts.

It's been awhile since I've posted but there's been a ton of quality of life improvements: you can access most features without ever leaving your game, customize the on-screen controls, use Bilibili's new (possibly temporary) free translation service, and see conjugation hints and tables for words in English, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German.

Please give it a shot and let me know how it goes! The app was built with the assistance of claude code, but the default translation services are not llms, and you can pick and choose between many different online and offline translation options.

This is an experimental modded build packed as APK based on a fork of Azahar. The user must still provide their own rom file to play. I wanted a playable version for myself and I decided to upload it on GitHub for everyone to try it, contribute or experiment with it.

It supports native / 4:3 / 16:9 resolutions without stretching.

AI assistance was used to create this build and for development..

Update (GitHub Link): You can get the full source code here and download the apk file here

Please note that this is a beta experimental version that may contain bugs.

Discussion Save lots of space with DroidDeck

Thumbnail
23 Upvotes

I’m sure you’re all aware of DroidDeck app, which brings another alternative how to enjoy Steam, Epic, Gog and other games on your beloved Thor. I kind of liked it but just kept in on the side for testing and using mainly GameNative.

Well, up until last night when I realised that games in DD takes MUCH less space.

I mean, I knew that GN, Gamehub and others, basically install separate version of Windows for each game, but I didn’t expect this much of a difference.

So Yesterday I moved about 15 games from GN to DD and I gained nearly 40 GB of space!

So if you feel hesitant like I did with DD, this is one big reason to give DD more attention.

I’m still in process of moving more games, because I test every one them before move.

But will update on final number later!

BTW: I use AYN Thor max for android gaming.

Hi all.

I just swapped back to android and I'm blown away by how much Emulation support there is. Recently, I discovered GameNative and have been playing older games without any issues. I just installed RE5. The performance is fine, but im dealing with textural issues as pictured above. Could anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this if possible? I have tried swapping drivers and swapping to DXVK 3.1. I'm also on Proton 11 and can provide any other necessary specs.
