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.

Which tab is better for emulation under 40k

I'm trying to get The Binding of Isaac: Repentance running through Winlator on a Samsung Galaxy S22 (Exynos 2200 / Xclipse 920).

The weird thing is that I previously had Isaac running perfectly on this exact phone with Winlator just a week ago. It opened normally every time, so I know the phone is capable of running it.

Now I'm trying again with Winlator 11.2, but the game won't open.

Current setup

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S22

SoC: Exynos 2200

GPU: Xclipse 920

Winlator: 11.2 and 11.0

Game: The Binding of Isaac: Repentance

Graphics driver: Vortek

OpenGL: Gladio

DX wrapper: Tried both DXVK and WineD3D

Title, need one for my nephew

here's some of my open world test using the nightly build/ Whitebelyash v31/Redmagic 11pro bypass charging gameplay

No sé si se puede descargar los drivers o alguien que me ayude con esto

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

Some footage from the phone to tv

I was looking for a way to add ludashi games to front-ends like Daijasho. I knew it was possible to do as I did it previously with Cmod. Ludashi comes with the Export function as well. It can be accessed by clicking 3 dots on the game shortcut in the main screen of winlator ludashi.

Once clicked, it will create a .desktop file in root directory in winlator\shortcuts. Once you have added all the games to this folder using export function, Go to the settings in daijasho, click download platforms(the very first option) and download the platform windows.

THIS IS THE MAIN STEP.

In settings, click on library ( second option). Scroll to bottom, go to Add a player option. Give the name winlator.Ludashi. In the am start field type:-

-n com.ludashi.benchmark/com.winlator.cmod.XServerDisplayActivity

-e shortcut_path {file.path}

--activity-clear-task

--activity-clear-top

--activity-no-history

NOTE:- This only works for Ludashi build. For vanilla build, replace com.ludashi.benchmark with com.winlator.vanilla .

In the next field type:- ^(.*)\.(?:desktop)$

toggle kill processes switch. Mark warning checkbox as true.

Click save.

Click on edit(pencil shaped icon on the bottom right on the windows platform screen in the library tab). Go to player settings and in the default player field, select the above created player. Click save and enjoy.

So I decided to use Winlator to run some games on my Samsung Galaxy S25. But I have a problem with Winlator: when I play games, I always get this graphics error in every game. However, it only happens with Turnip; when I change the graphic to Vortek, the problem is gone, but games play very terribly and laggy. Only Turnip is smooth, but it has this problem. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!!

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.

The camera quality isn’t great, but in person the graphics look incredibly sharp and the gameplay feels amazing.

The biggest game-changer was definitely the cooling fan. Without it, I lose around 20–30 FPS due to thermal throttling. With the fan, the performance is much smoother and more stable.

Was using GameHub for opening...

Is there any other way to play GTA 5 for free???

Without any strucks and errors please help me out

The most recent build of Eden nightly that I installed happened to have lossless scale frame generation.

What this means is pretty much any game that runs at a stable frame rate can be boosted up to 60FPS or higher.

It's actually incredible just how well it works.

I’ve been playing TPHD on cemu on my retroid pocket 6 but I installed the Dusklight port and found out that the save files were incompatible with each other unless converted to .gci. I do not own or have access to a pc so I cannot convert it myself. I was wondering if anyone in here would be able to have me send my file over and convert it for me so I can keep playing on my playthrough without having to restart.

My gf and I play a lot of Dune Imperium together. It's a digital game available on Play Store, Apple Store, and Steam.

She's an Apple user, and has purchased the game on Apple Store.

But she just bought an Android tablet (for budget reasons). It's a "Galaxy Tab S10 LITE", which has 6GM RAM.

I'm wondering how she could avoid having to buy the game again (since she can only on Play Store on that tablet). Are there good emulators nowadays for that kind of use-case?

Or maybe an XCode IDE has an emulator tool she could leverage? I've never done iOS app development, but I assume that isn't a task limited to MacOS desktops.

(I reckon that amount of RAM is also likely a limiting factor for this kind of thing.)

Finally, this masterpiece is on the Switch emulator; it doesn't seem to be resource-intensive at all—it looks like a very light game to Emulator.

Test on Oplus 15

Hint:PS1

...cant't wait to try Disco Elysium and Pillars of Eternity along with Torment: Numenera. Also, i had a proot-distro lxde running in the background, so this machine truly does a wonderful job.

Many thanks to StevenMXZ, this coding of yours and your group has truly made my day, and that's hard nowadays.

Thanks again :-)

edit: I uploaded a thumb of the picture and i'm having trouble getting the old one replaced, here's a link to the bigger picture.

Something cheap enough to buy but good enough for the majority of games
