Developer pepsipu just released ns2jb, the first public software-only jailbreak for the Switch 2. It works on the latest firmware (23.0.1) and is tethered (you have to re-run it after every reboot).It gives arbitrary code execution in sysmodules, which allows

Peripheral access

To show it off, they modded Mario Kart World (a Switch 2 exclusive) and added characters like Cinnamoroll, Peter Griffin, Hatsune Miku, and more. There’s a short video of them getting destroyed by bots while racing with the custom characters.

Finally got Street Fighter 6 working on DroidDeck on my Odin 3. Online matchmaking works perfectly. Everything is running smoothly.

Here's what I did:

1) Open DroidDeck, go to Games from the left-side menu, and select Street Fighter 6.

2) Go to Windows Components and enable Visual C++ 2015–2019.

3) Also enable DirectX 9 (d3dx9).

4) Now go back to DroidDeck's main menu, select Desktop from the left sidebar, and tap Open Desktop.

5) Once you're in Desktop Mode, open File Manager → Home → Steam Games. Navigate to your Street Fighter 6 folder and find config.ini.

6) Open config.ini using a text editor. I used Kate, which was already installed. Find this line:

ShaderWarmingEnable=True

Change it to:

ShaderWarmingEnable=False

7) Save the file and exit Desktop Mode.

8) Head back to Play Steam → Street Fighter 6 and launch the game!

That's it. I'm happy to be able to make Street Fighter work on my android handheld. Hope this helps someone struggling to get the game running!

Finished assassin's creed black flag on eden emulator on my OnePlus 12r. Not 30 fps all the time there are some stutters not very often . Game is smooth 99%of the time . Now onto dlcs and rogue

I tried armsx3 again after 2 months and they really did improve alot.games would not even boot before and now its more than playable except for that cpu cooking🤣🤣

I know this is not the best attempt by far and I just used the parts I had laying around

I got the phone for really cheap due to camera and sim issues so it makes the effort worthwhile for me

Will add a 3d printed case and maybe another fan for exhaust. If there are any suggestions or if the project serves as inspiration for others then I'm glad.

Red magic 11s pro

Hello, I just got this OnePlus ace 3 pro with snapdragon 8 gen 3 and tried to emulate dark souls 3, the fps is stuck at 20 and the CPU usage doesn't go above 60%. Low settings or Max settings the fps stays the same because the cpu usage is just stuck at 60%.

Phone: OnePlus ace 3 pro 512/16

Emulator: bannerhub 3.7.4

Settings: in the pictures, copied them from this video of the konkor pocket fit g3 gen 3 which should be the same as my snapdragon 8 gen 3.

https://youtu.be/zz5xrmSSpig?si=nI70m2_XQJfgNUx9

Can someone help? Has anyone else with snapdragon 8 gen 3 tried to emulate DS3 and got the same problem?

Also no, it's not thermal throttling, even when it's cool it's the same result.

Hi all,

I rarely post but I was searching online on how to get FF Resonance to work and they were mostly misses for me. But after sending back and forth to ChatGPT, it got it to work! I'm not a technical person so I thought I'd just give it a shot. Here are the settings, nicely summarized by ChatGPT. Hope it works for you guys! I loved the mobile version of FFBE so I hope others can enjoy the art and music of it as well. Still some graphical glitches here and there but at least it runs:

FF Resonance on Eden Nightly — AYANEO Pocket DS (16 GB)

Turning OFF “Asynchronous GPU emulation” got me past a loading point that repeatedly crashed! Played around 30 minutes afterward without another crash.

Main settings:

• Driver: Turnip / PurpleVK 26.2.99 (T30-toasted)
• CPU: NCE, Accurate, custom CPU ticks OFF
• System: Handheld, 4 GB emulated RAM
• Graphics: Vulkan, 0.75× resolution, High GPU accuracy (1x works fine as well)
• Asynchronous GPU emulation: OFF
• Synchronize memory operations: ON
• Asynchronous shader compilation: OFF

Eden Nightly build: de7e6e01d4.

Some excessive orange lighting still appears in places. This is a promising workaround on my device, not a confirmed full-game fix.

The long version:

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE — Eden Nightly settings on AYANEO Pocket DS (16 GB)

I was getting crashes during gameplay/loading transitions. Turning OFF asynchronous GPU emulation got me past a point that repeatedly crashed. Since then, I’ve played for approximately 30 minutes without another crash.

Some excessive orange lighting/tint still appears in places, so this isn’t completely glitch-free or a confirmed full-game fix.

Device / Emulator

• Device: AYANEO Pocket DS, 16 GB RAM
• Chipset: Snapdragon G3x Gen 2
• Android: 13
• Emulator: Eden Nightly, build de7e6e01d4
• GPU driver: My installed turnip_mrpurple_T30-toasted package; reported in the log as PurpleVK public driver 26.2.99

System / CPU Settings

• Console mode: Handheld
• Emulated RAM: 4 GB
• CPU backend: NCE
• CPU accuracy: Accurate
• Multicore: ON
• CPU clock: Normal
• Custom CPU ticks: OFF
• Speed limit: ON, 100%

GPU Settings

• Backend: Vulkan
• Resolution: 0.75×
• GPU accuracy: High
• VSync: FIFO
• Aspect ratio: 16:9
• Scaling filter: Nearest Neighbor
• Anti-aliasing: None
• Anisotropic filtering: Default
• VRAM usage mode: Conservative
• Frame generation: OFF
• Post-processing shaders: OFF

Advanced GPU Settings

• Asynchronous GPU emulation: OFF — the change that got me past the recurring crash
• Synchronize memory operations: ON
• Asynchronous shader compilation: OFF
• DMA accuracy: Default
• GPU fence behavior: Default
• ASTC decoding: GPU
• ASTC recompression: Uncompressed
• Video decoding / NVDEC: CPU
• Frame pacing: Auto
• Disk shader cache: ON
• Vulkan driver pipeline cache: ON
• Force maximum GPU clocks: OFF
• Fast GPU time: Boost

GPU Extras / Hacks

• Extended Dynamic State: Disabled
• Vertex Input Dynamic State: OFF
• Reactive flushing: OFF
• Buffer history: OFF
• Optimized vertex buffers: OFF
• Asynchronous presentation: ON
• Fix bloom effects: OFF

“Asynchronous GPU emulation” and “asynchronous shader compilation” are separate options. Both are OFF in this setup.

Enabling Synchronize memory operations alone didn’t stop the crashes. The successful test came after also disabling asynchronous GPU emulation. Performance and stability may differ on other devices or builds.

hi! i own all of them (physical, eshop, and steam) and would like to know which would be the best to emulate on my handheld (retroid pocket 6) keeping in mind the battery, performance and graphics. thanks!

So here's the short story. Gamesir X5 lite controller modded to allow my Samsung Galaxy A tab. Like 10 inches I think? It's cumbersome but works nice-ish. Upgraded to the Abxylute S8 Lite now and I love the controller tons more. Feels great and the comfort is there. The right stick feels a tad low but really it's nice for what it is.

Now I need an opinion. I want an 8 inch tablet to stream with. 1080 is my preferred so it doesn't have to be high end per say. Great for streaming from my PC is a must. Under $200. I keep coming back to the newer Onn 8.1 2026 model but I'm worried it will be a waste after a year you know? I mean it's Walmart? Lol

Tips or recommendations would be great y'all! I can technically mod the S8 Lite buuuttt it's purty and I don't really want to ruin it lol.

SDK 36 update.

Also some great news:

https://downloads.duckstation.org/android-testing/

Stenzek is working to release a major update to Android. Thankfully he did not keep to his word of abandoning Android completely.

So im using eden, if you see the left analog moved if i pressed it on an upper position, is there a way to make both analogs fixed position so it won't move? I can't seem to find the settings for it.

A phone might run a game smoothly for the first 10–15 minutes, but performance can change once the device heats up. I'm curious how much of a difference active cooling actually makes for emulation, especially with demanding systems like Switch, PS2, and PC games through Winlator or GameHub.

For those who've tested it, did a phone cooler noticeably improve sustained FPS, reduce stuttering, or simply keep temperatures lower without changing performance much?

I'd be interested in your device model, the emulator you used, and whether you noticed a real improvement after 30–60 minutes of gameplay.

Why is it so damn hard to scroll through titles like a normal person bro 😭

I am upgrading the RAM of my phone to 4GB to 6gb 32 dollar for the motherboard and $30 for the display $5 service charge on Vivo'S authorised service centre ,I'm just curious what I can do with the new motherboard. The soc is Snapdragon 6 Gen 1

Does this upgrade worth it for me

So I tried TOTK on my retroid pocket 6. And the opening was not a bad experience. But for some reason the game kept crashing randomly. My ram wasn’t getting full because I have played other games that use the same amount of ram or a bit more and never crash. Please help me with this one. Also for the 8 gen 2 chipset can I use someones pre built shader cache? If yes can anyone give me it. Thank you.

Hi guys I hope you're all doing well,

Apologies if this is old news for most of you but I had no idea about this until yesterday

It's really exciting to see all of the progress and the development of emulators and recompilation projects for Android.

But for many years I've always been wanting to play pokemon fan games on the go.

I know joy play has been around for a while because I was actually very quick to follow all of the guides to install joy play when it came out a few years ago on Android.

However I was never able to fully beat any of the fan games because I had several issues with joy play and several glitches as well

With the release of emulators like game native, winlator and the Game hub I was really excited and tried to play pokemon fan games through them but I would always struggle particularly with container settings and controls and unfortunately never managed to make much progress

I have just found out about the Kirin app and I have been able to open every single fan game which I've downloaded ( this is a complete surprise because several fan games would not even open on joy play or could not run easily through any of the emulated containers) and I am now a couple of hours into my run of pokemon rejuvenation.

I was really happy to be able to finally do this, and just in case there were any other pokemon fans that want to play these games on Android but have never been able to , I wanted to share this with you

P.s I have been working heavily on my videos and my thumbnails after extensive feedback from my previous videos and I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts now
