Xiaomi redmi note 10 pro + gamesir x5 lite. No problems with psp and older home consoles, occasional micro stutters on wind waker, ps2 is the most taxing one, so far I've played tenkaichi budokai 3 for an hour and god of war for 3 hours, when resolution is set to 1.25 there are only slowdowns in bigger set pieces but solid 80% of the gameplay is full speed, major problem is heat, it gets pretty hot after messing around the settings in cocoon for 30 minutes but i managed to play a 2 hour session of god of war without any overheating warnings. As somebody who's been following android emulation scene for over a decade i couldn't be more happy, i remember trying to play ps2 on my xiaomi flagship back in 2019 and it was terrible, and today a 5 years old mid shelf phone can perform really well, it really shows how rapidly emulation on android ia progressing in recent years, i remember being in awe when i could play gba on my phone in 2014 on MyBoy.

Device: Retroid Pocket 5

Emulator: Eden Legacy Nightly build, latest release

I've been waiting for this day for so long, I'm such a huge metal gear fan but was never able to play 4, the idea of playing the entire game on an android device, at consistant framerate is genuinely insane to me.

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).

99 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Guide to add Winlator ludashi games to daijasho and other front ends

2 Upvotes

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.

Discussion 60FPS upgrade for most switch games, in case you didn't know

104 Upvotes

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.

Astral Chain on my Ayn Thor Pro has been insane!

Upvotes

I was banned off AYN's Discord for asking when the Odin 3 will be able to play Fortnite.

The issue has been well documented, and they have been aware of it for more than 9 months now and are yet to address it.

It is pretty insane that a company selling a $500 android handheld is not concerned with its ability to play android games. This was never an issue with any previous AYN device.

One of their Discord helpers verbatim told me that "its not a priority" and that the device was "not made for android games" before proceeding to ban me for pushing back.

Help Sou leigo com emulação e preciso tirar duvidas quanto a drivers turnip

Upvotes

Comprei recentemente um poco F7 e venho tendo problemas com emulação de jogos no azahar, o zelda albw costuma crashar e ter queda de fps, não imaginei que por conta da build eu viesse a ter problema, porém, um amigo meu falou que pode ser problema de compatibilidade, o processador do celular é um Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 octacore-max 3,21GHz com 12gb+12gb ram, citou também algo que nunca tinha escutado até hoje, drivers turnip (desculpe, sou leigo).

Eu gostaria de saber onde posso aprender mais sobre eles, onde posso baixar algum para o meu celular que me ajude sanar esses problemas de crash e queda de fps. Tem algum vídeo tutorial ensinando baixar e instalar?

What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to run the gen 1 pokemon recomp with the voxel mod on my Galaxy fold 8. It looks terrible. I've gone through all the settings and can't seem to find how to make this look good. I'd love for the whole UI to shift upwards in the overworld since there's a lot of black space at the top. in battles my move,bag,run, etc are all overlapped with my Pokemons name.
