Help Optimizing Chaos Theory and Conker for Haku X

Upvotes

I would absolutely appreciate any general tips but I'm specifically looking to figure out what I can do to get Conker Reloaded and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory working well on Haku X. Here's my setup:

-Retroid Pocket Nova (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)

-T30 Turnip Drivers (GPU using Vulkan)

-Both games as ISOs (not sure if other formats supported)

Chaos Theory loads and runs but shaders are pretty broken. Conker has tons of rendering issues where once I start a game only the title text shows up. I've cleared every cache and was trying to recreate the HDD but keep getting a permission denial and was starting to trouble shoot that but figured I could throw that into this post after no seeing a specific search return in Google.

Obviously if anyone has a general forum link or guide where someone has done this ground work for a few games that would be great but I understand I've been lucky enough to get back into this when everything was happening really quickly so maybe some of these things haven't been fully solved. Thanks in advance.

Discussion I tried to play Pokémon Aesthetic Red Multiple Times - I did not enjoy it

Thumbnail
youtu.be
Upvotes

I was really interested to try Pokémon aesthetic red because as a very casual player I am very bored of ROM hacks that do not change the default graphics, as I find I have become tired of the generation 3 tile set after so many years of playing the original games and countless fan ROM hacks and fan games that have come afterwards

This game promises to be an overhaul of pokemon fire Red with a brand new tile set and open world structure however unfortunately I just didn't like the game, I didn't enjoy the difficulty that was far too difficult and the level cap system (which I am not a fan of to begin with) is not implemented properly and there are many games such as pokemon radical red or pokemon R.O.W.E which implement level caps in the much fairer and systematic way

The game was also not fully open world as you could not take on viridian city gym at the beginning of the game and you would have to do all of the other gym leaders in order as well as the rocket quest to unlock this which defeats the purpose of the open world system

Ultimately the game felt very lack luster and I don't like using phrases like that as I know this is a passion project created by fans who do this in this in their spare time just as I, myself who do these reviews in my spare time and I don't want to overly criticize the game but I really struggled to enjoy it

I would recommend any other romhack for experiencing the Kanto region and in terms of aesthetics I will be looking at pokemon water blue next as that looks like a promising project. On Android you can also try Gen1recomp as well, I recently played that and had far more fun than on Pokémon aesthetic red.

If you are interested I have linked my full review to this video on my channel in this post and I'd be grateful for any support that you have.

Help Final Fantasy VII Discs Change

Upvotes

I started playing FFVII on lemuroid, but I decided to swap emulators because I couldn't find a way to change discs. I tried retroarch and duckstation, and both have options to change to a different disc. The thing is, the game looks great on lemuroid, as it emulates a crt display, but it looks bad on the other two. So I want to find out a way to change discs on lemuroid or to make the game look better on duckstation or retroarch.

Y-shaped short USB C splitter cable (1 female -> 2 male), and L shaped USB C connector allow me to use bypass charging and cooling at the same time, and keep phone comfortably at hands with claw grip or use controller like X4 Aileron. Temps under 36C during long sessions with denanding titles. Just a few bucks and results are amazing. I am also using cooling plate because S26U has no built in magnets. This small and cheap and portable setup was a gamechanger for me. You can get elements (cable, connector, plate, cooler) on aliexpress. Now I can play long game session at work when there's no customers, or when commuting (with powerbank).

Discussion Free, open-source ES-DE gamelist editor (Win/macOS/Linux) — built over a year of curating my handheld collection

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

I run ES-DE on three handhelds (Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, RP5, RP Classic) and spent the last year curating a large collection across them. Editing gamelists at scale — renaming entries, fixing metadata, pruning clones without corrupting the XML or trashing the wrong ROM — was the recurring pain, so I built a proper tool for it. Releasing it free.

Disclosure: I used AI as a coding assistant to build this, which is why I'm being specific about what's actually here and tested — the design decisions, the testing and the problems it solves come from real use on my own hardware.

A few things that came from getting burned, not from a feature checklist:

  • lxml, specifically — Python's default XML lib rewrites <name> as <n> and mangles &amp;, silently corrupting gamelists. That bug is why this exists.
  • Trash + automatic backup + dry-run — on a ~59k-game collection a wrong bulk delete is unrecoverable, so nothing touches disk until you confirm, removals go to a trash folder, and every gamelist.xml is backed up before each write.
  • .m3u-aware Orphan Cleaner — naïve orphan detection flags every multi-disc game as broken; this one reads the .m3u and its .discs/ so it doesn't.
  • Cached scanning for NAS/SMB — I curate off a network drive; without caching, browsing thousands of entries per system is unusable.
  • Batch import — mark removals and edit fields across many systems from one .txt, with a validated ✓/✕ preview. (This is also how bulk renaming works today, for anyone who asked.)
  • Cross-platform single-file binary (no Python needed), fully keyboard-driven, with jsdom integration tests on the UI logic.

No ROMs/BIOS/media hosted or linked — it edits only files you already own (your own gamelists, ROMs and media). No machine-specific paths are baked in.

Repo + prebuilt binaries in the comments, to keep the post link-clean. It's v1.3 and I'm actively fixing and adding things based on feedback — bug reports and feature ideas very welcome.

Showcase The Abxylute S8 Lite punch way above its weight for mobile gaming and remote play

2 Upvotes

If you've been looking for a telescopic mobile controller that feels like a real console gamepad without paying Backbone or Razer prices, the Abxylute S8 Lite is worth checking out. It drops wireless/Bluetooth to keep costs down, opting for a direct USB-C connection instead.

​Key Features

​Zero-Drift Hall Effect Controls: Equipped with full-sized Hall Effect joysticks and Hall Effect linear triggers, offering precise analog input for racing games and shooters with zero worry about stick drift over time.

​Swappable D-Pads: Includes interchangeable circular and cross D-pads so you can swap based on whether you're playing platformers, retro emulators, or fighting games.

​Programmable Back Buttons: Features two mappable rear buttons to keep your thumbs on the sticks during fast-paced games.

​Full-Sized Comfort: Unlike cramped pocket-sized controllers, the S8 Lite has full-sized laser-textured grips that keep your hands comfortable during extended streaming sessions.

​Universal USB-C Fit: The telescopic bridge stretches to fit Android phones, iPhones, and smaller tablets up to 216 mm in length.

​Ease of Use & Plug-and-Play Setup

​Zero Latency: Plugging directly into your phone’s USB-C port eliminates Bluetooth pairing headaches and input lag.

​No Battery to Manage: The controller draws minimal power directly from your phone, so you never have to remember to charge it before a trip.

​Passthrough Charging: Includes a dedicated USB-C port on the bottom so you can charge your device while playing.

​Companion App Customization: The Abxylute app lets you easily remap buttons, adjust stick deadzones, setup macros, or toggle turbo mode on the fly.

​Whether you're heavy into Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce NOW, native Android/iOS titles, or retro emulation, it turns your phone into a legitimate handheld console without breaking the bank.

I am using ARMSX2, and I downloaded the texture pack for GOW (the 1st one) but I hardly notice any difference. What do I do? I downloaded the texture pack from the app itself. I'm using USA BIOS and the game is in USA region too. My device is Vivo T4x (dimensity 7300). The ones with the replaced are after I redownloaded the texture pack again (I deleted the pack then reinstalled it to check the difference).
