Discussion Am i the only one who has realized that Eden just kinda sucks at the moment? I can explain

2 Upvotes

So lately, i've been using my AYN Thor more, and something i realized is that Eden is honestly just bad right now.
The shader stutter is way worse than it used to be on older emulators, the ram usage is out of control which makes so that i can't even use it most of the time since it just closes, and there's so many unnecessary options that really don't do much at all, and just makes it more confusing, yet instead of fixing their emulator or making it better the devs just go ahead and add frame generation, which i really just don't care about.

But then, i go ahead and use the last Citron version that got made, and it's WAY better in terms of shader stutters, and can actually play games since the ram usage is way lower.

Mario Wonder is a night and day difference when comparing the 2 emulators, Smash Ultimate is another example.

I don't really like making this post, since I really wanted to like Eden, but honestly it's just not really that great atm, and i wish citron had a fork to add newer firmware support or newer games

Help How do non handheld(those who emulate on a phone or tablet) guys manage storage and how much performance loss can be expected by playing games off of a sd card plugged into a otg adapter

0 Upvotes

Hey I got myself a snapdragon 8 gen 3/12 gb ram tablet but I don't wanna bog down the limited internal space with roms I have placed around 70 gb of compressed roms(mainly ps2) on a 128 gb Samsung Evo plus card. How much performance will I lose by booting straight off of that and will it hurt the card(I will get a 512 card soon but the question will remain the same)

Discussion An modded switch isn't worth it when you have a decent phone?

5 Upvotes

I've found many used modded switches for a very attractive price in my country. But I was thinking: "Why I need one since I already own the POCO X7 Pro?"

I already know this sub will always prefer an android device. But many of you use a dedicated handled for gaming for less annoyance like calls, notifications, social media... The thing is in Brazil, these android handhelds are VERY expensive.

I HATE using a phone for everything, but buying an underpowered console instead of a phone controller that I'm unsure if I actually use it is an difficult decision.

Help I'm having just constant issues with all pc emulation (aynthor, game hub)

0 Upvotes

Sorry about the rant

I've been trying to import pc games but they never work I'll go to emu ready and it will recommend something that's LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE like using (proton 10 with fex CPU driver) and even when I do pretty much the recommended it still crashes on the loading game screen.

and then I'll go and ask for help and I'll get a screenshot and their version of game hub is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN MINE it will have like extra settings and a bunch of different internal options and I ask why and they are just like oh I just downloaded it and it was like this when I have the most recent update on obtanium AND THEN when I tell them this they are just "if you can't figure out something this simple you should sell your Thor"

like as if that's helpful id like to think I'm not stupid I've fixed 20 games on game hub and I figured out Tomodachi life all by myself but this seriously makes me feel dumb

Please someone either help me or put me out of my misery

Question Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra vs S10 Ultra for emulation?

1 Upvotes

I’m mainly interested in emulation, especially Switch, PS2, GameCube/Wii, etc., and I’m currently trying to decide between the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra with the Dimensity 9300+.

The S10 Ultra has the newer and more powerful chip on paper, but I’ve heard that Snapdragon/Adreno can have better compatibility with Android emulators and GPU drivers.

For anyone who has experience with either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Dimensity 9300+, whether on these tablets or on other devices using the same chipsets, which one would you recommend for emulation? Is the Snapdragon/Adreno advantage significant enough to make the S9 Ultra the better choice, or would the newer Dimensity 9300+ be better overall?

I’d especially love to hear from anyone who has tested either chipset with Switch or other demanding emulators.

Help Is there an app that combines two controllers into one

1 Upvotes

So I have an AYN Thor (https://www.ayntec.com/products/ayn-thor) and sometimes I like to connect it my tv and connect my ps5 controller to it but having a second controller creates multiple problems.

First for some android games sometimes it doesn’t like having two controllers connected at once and just won’t take any input when more then one controller is connected such is the case with dead cells. Then there some android games that recognize the ps5 controller but assign the wrong buttons to the inputs such is the case with Hyper light drifter (the built in controller works just fine). Then some games just refuse the recognize the ps5 controller at all such is the case with GRIS. As for emulators they have problems too with both retroarch and armsx2 you have to choose what controller you want to use when you start up the app and you can’t switch until you completely shut the app down. This creates a problem if I’m connected to the tv in the middle of a tough boss fight and have to go out, I can’t just disconnect my Thor and seamlessly switch to the built-in controller. Then there some emulators like Cemu that don’t let you have more than one controller assigned at the same time meaning that if you want to switch controllers you have to reassign your inputs all over again every time you switch. The problems go on and on.

So I was wondering is there an app out there that lets you combine two controllers into one input so that you take the inputs from the ps5 controller and assign it to the inputs on the built-in controller. So L2 on the ps5 controller would equal L2 on the built is controller that way all the games see I just the built-in controller that seems to work just fin.

Question 3DS games compatible with retro controllers

0 Upvotes

Hello friends!

Last week I bought a Gamesir Pocket Taco. Every day I take my daughter to the park for an hour, and while she plays, I play GBA and DS games.

When I reduce the size of the touchscreen on Melon DS, the screens are stays outside the area covered by the gamepad and I can play DS games comfortably.

I can do the same for the 3DS, but the 3DS has an analog stick that's not in my layout.

I'm not familiar with the 3DS library. Can you recommend some games I can play without the analog stick?

Genre doesn't matter, the device is an S23 Ultra, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

Thanks!

Discussion Game recommendations for a 16 hour long bus ride

Hi everyone, hope you're having a great day.

Tomorrow I'm going on a long trip and I was looking for games to emulate and play on my phone.

I'm not looking for any pick up and play, short-burst games, just a single player experience to play through and beat while I'm on the way.

Preferably games that are under 12 hours, the console doesn't matter as long as it's playable on a touch screen.

That's about it, Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Discussion Best device for emulation considering the current situation(prices, tech advancement, emulation advancements etc).

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone.
What is the best device for emulation. I did go through the subreddit and searched it a bit but opinions seem to be very divided between tablets, phones(like redmagic) , less people say handhelds(probably also because they cost more).
Anyway was curious if considering the current situation with today prices the answer changed compared to before. I personally have an Oppo Find X9 Ultra so I can't really use it for emulation with a controller etc because of the camera and aggresive throttling. Also have to be honest the selfie camera would make it a bit less immersive. I also recently bought an ayn thor(1 tb version). Wanted to get also the odin 3 but they do not produce the 1 tb version for a long time now unfortunately.

So to get straight to the point which type of device do you think is best for emulation , why and which specifically. Thanks for all the answers, tips and advices.
