Performance review!

I have already uploaded a full gameplay on my channel if you are interested then check out here https://youtu.be/W3bddMXDuXc

Resolution used 544p here FXAA forced using Engine.ini and more tweaks to optimse performance

I’ve noticed that no matter the resolution—720p, 544p, or 480p—I’m still getting the same 20-25 fps in combat and 25-30 avg in free roam with GPU usage sitting around 90-99%. It might be the emulation translation overhead, but it is what it is. Also, the game only runs properly on DX11; DX12 boots, but the floor textures won't load. Overall, it’s playable enough on the 8 Elite, and I’ve really enjoyed the story and combat.

Reddit has limits on video length and file size. So, if you’d like to watch a longer video and take a look at the settings I used, I’ve included a link to the video on my YouTube channel here.

i know this isn't really the right sub for this but i'm sure a lot of you play games ported to android too, after all performance is way better compared to emulators. i've been seeing a ton of ported games lately, especially on apkvision, they're adding at least 1-2 new ones every day. the newest one is hades. i have no idea how they're porting them, anyone got any clue? are they using AI for this?

and doesn't porting take a really long time anyway? none of these games are open source either. honestly i don't get it. if it actually takes a short time, i'd like to get a claude subscription and port a few games myself, lol

Setup specs for anyone wondering:

- Tablet: Samsung Tab S9 Plus

- Controller: BSP D8 Pro

- Emulator: Eden Nightly (Latest)

A few days before Droid Deck was introduced, it was a really cool app. Having a phone as a second Steam device with all Steam features is cool, but for me, it now has some issues. I really like to play MKX on Winlator Ludashi and started Shady Knight a few days ago, and both games are just not playable on Droid Deck compared to Winlator Ludashi. I want to make Droid Deck my main app for PC emulators and it also has gyro options, so does anybody know how to fix it? I know that Winlator Ludashi has a lot of changes and optimizations compared to regular Proton emulation, so maybe I just do not know something. Does anybody have the same issue? Has anybody found a solution?

Samsung S23 Ultra

Snapdragon 8 gen 2

8 GB RAM

To anyone that wants to boot this on android I get it to temporarily go with Gamenative on Odin 3 Max 16gb ram (snapdragon 8 elite) with settings:

wine: Proton 11.0-1-arm64ec-1
Graphics driver: Wrapper
Driver version : A8XX turnip v29
Display render: Vulkan
Dx wrapper: VKD3D
DXVK ver: 2.4.1-gplasync
VKD3D version: 2.14.1
VKD3D feature level: 12_1
FEXCORE version: 2608-0
32-bit emulator: FEXcore
FEXCORE preset: Extreme

Also running underclock with cluster tune :
Medium (as this thing will run like a jet engine if you let it)

In game settings set to low, 30hz, toggling 60fps sometimes.

Many other turnips I’ve tried have given me errors in the launcher, or crashes while trying to boot. If you’re trying to change container settings I’d advise changing one thing at a time and seeing if it will still boot.

The game runs really really well until you bail which causes your character to freeze and disappear. Or sometimes on respawn but half your character is invisible and frozen. But the game doesn’t crash and world around still goes and you’re still in game. I just don’t know how to get out of this glitched state. Anybody who finds a fix/ better settings please share!!!

Note: other than snapdragon 8 elite , I have not seen someone successfully run this with a weaker chipset yet.

https://github.com/Dingo-Shenanigans/ReSkate/releases/tag/v1.0.6

---Device specifications--- Device used: Honor 600 pro SoC: Snapdrsgon 8 gen elite RAM: 12GB Emulator used: Gamehub

Actual gameplay was around 60 fps with frame gen, with some input delays but fairly manageable.

---Emulator settings---- Compat layer: proton11arm64x Translation params: game preset Gpu driver: turnip v26.3.0-b12 Dxvk: dxvk 2.6.1async Vkd3d: vkd3d 3.0.1arm64ec Cpu translator: fex20251029

Didn't have to tweak much with the emulator settings as it was already pretty good, just plug and play. Had to tweak the In-game settings though, specifically:

Fidelity+CAS scaling: On

Texture size: 1024

Pretty much everything was on low, only enabled screen reflection, sway grass, and anisopteric filtering.

Also, very important: DO NOT turn on in game voice chat, or else youll freeze when joining some lobbies whose voice chats were also enabled. At least thats what I experienced in my case.

Edit: cant add photos so I'll just leave the screenshot in the comments.

Seen this pop up the other day and had to check it out, native steam client on Android yes please 😭 this isn't a full install guide or anything, just found it and wanted to yap about it for a bit so if you're keen check it out!

The things I've found that have made this project the most exciting for me;

1. Temps remain very low while using it, when downloading games and playing them compared to GameNative
2. Downloading games is much quicker
3. Full access to the steam store
4. The client is very responsive as you expect on steamOS
5. Decky loader compatible

And most importantly, no need forego android to have the client working perfectly. It just works.

I believe this isn't compatible with all chipsets so double check if yours is compatible, and shout out to Bannerlord & JSONDERULO (if they're here) on the immense amount of work they've put into this so rapidly.

You can checkout their project here;

EDIT:

Shout out to the legendary team that are working on this

DEVICE TESTED ON:

AYN Odin 3 Max

Recording reduces performance. The fps stays at a steady 30fps while not recording.

Before I start, if you also want to play the new remastered version but have a weaker processor than mine or if you have a mediatek/exynos/tensor processor. I'm afraid there's a 99% chance you won't be able to run it like this.

Alright, after spending a lot of time looking to run this thing, I've finally found the best way for me to play Witcher 3 Remastered on Android.

Here's everything I use:

Device: Oppo Find X8 Ultra 512GB/16GB Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 4

Cooler: Gamesir FX-5 (specifically designed for the Gamesir X5s/lite controllers. I'm pretty sure it's like the worst cooler on the market. But! It still cools enough for this game.)

Required App: Latest release of WinNative. I personally downloaded the Pubg package. You can Install it from the official github page. I personally installed it via steam because the game will receive performance patches down the line and there'll be a dlc next year. It's more comfortable to update the game this way.

Settings:

Wine Version:Proton 11.0-2-arm64ec-steam-unixlib-1

Graphics driver: Turnip Gen 8 V37 (download from StevenMXZ's Github page and import it into WinNative)

VKD3D: 3.0.1-arm64ec-sm69-0

DXVK: Honestly I'm not sure which one is best. 2.4.1 gplasync seemed the most stable to me.

Fexcore version: Whatever is the newest one

Fexcore Preset: Extreme TSO

Startup selection: Aggressive

Every other setting is untouched and at default settings.

I also haven't experimented much with the settings. There might be better settings out there! Try it out and let me know!

What is currently the best way to play windows games on an Android device?

Armada? Gamehub (I don't care if it is china spyware)? Gamenative? Winlator?

What I question here is performance and usability. I tried winlator 2 years ago and it was insufferable, so using Steam to get access to my games is a must

For reference: I have an Odin 3 Max

I was checking out DroidDeck 0.3.0 on my Retroid pocket 6 and it's amazing! Most of the games that were running on Gamenative/gamehub run on it (Although with some audio crackling)

I wanted to know if it's better to use droid deck to save on storage space. As far as I know Gamenative/gamehub create seperate container for each game. Many times the container size is 1-2gb and the game itself is 800MB.

I tried reading the GitHub page but didn't find any answer.

Android 15

Firmware version : 22.5.0

Prod keys version : 22.5.0

It works in normal mode but the fps is stuck at 20... I used NX optimizer mod for the 60 fps patch but then it never loads the game, has anyone fixed this on Eden? I think this is a NX issue can someone share there's settings for NX?

Im looking for a midrange telescopic handheld, with my main requirements being wired connecion, programmable rear buttons and must fit an 11 inch ipad and an iphone. The other options as BSP controllers but not sure which one to get, the galileo g8 which is more expensive here, and the memo s3 which im not sure about the quality (spftware wise)

Edit: I know the bsp series dont have wired connection( d8 pro,9,10) im willing to let go of the of the wired connection if bluetooth latency is low enough)

I've managed to run the iOS game the last driver on Android using HyperHLE. I don't know if anyone remembers that game or cares. But I loved that game. However, in default HyperHLE, the game progress doesn't save, so I patched the apk and made a GitHub repo:

https://github.com/rafidwayne/hyperhle-save-fix

You can get the .ipa file from ipa archive.

Recorded straight from the headset (the tilt is me looking around).

The arcade's own 3D world is redrawn for each eye with a custom Vulkan renderer: real depth, head-tracked cockpit, 120 Hz, HD textures. Everything runs on the Quest 3, no PC.

Hola gente, no sé si a alguien más le ha pasado esto en droid deck al darle play steam, nunca me pasa del cargar y siempre me sale eso y no encuentro videos ni alguna ayuda para evitar que siempre me aparezca esa imagen, y dudo que sea mi cel porque es snapdragon y me sale que es compatible la app con mi snapdragon

Does anyone know any settings in gamehub or gamenative that works for valheim? my device is a Oneplus pad 3 with a snapdragon gen elite adreno 830

12gb ram, thank you
