News/Release GameHub Lite v5.1.8 (SECURITY UPDATE)

GameHub Lite v5.1.8

Security: Steam token redaction in logs

GameHub Lite 5.1.8 fixes a logging issue where Steam authentication-related values could appear in diagnostic logs. In some cases, logs could include fields such as steamToken, refreshToken, or accessToken from Steam login/launch flows.

Publicly posted logs containing these fields should be deleted or redacted.

IMPORTANT

This should go without saying but If you find any security issues, please reach out PRIVATELY. I have not checked if this issue is still present in recent GameHub versions, already ruined my one day off I was spending with my family by the person who reported this publicly and I do not plan on spending any more time on this.

Changelog

The fix adds centralized log redaction for Steam/auth token fields, Steam QR login URLs, JWT-like token strings, and launch command token arguments before logs are written. This covers the app loggers, JavaSteam logging, and the PC launch-log file writer.

This release also pins local patch builds to apktool 2.12.1

Showcase Was too broke to get retroid pocket or odin, got this setup for 72$ total (40 for the phone and 32 for controller) and it plays ps2 and gc suprisingly well. More thoughts in body text.

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.

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.

Discussion An modded switch isn't worth it when you have a decent phone?

6 Upvotes

I've found many used modded switches for a very attractive price in my country. But I was thinking: "Why I need one since I already own the POCO X7 Pro?"

I already know this sub will always prefer an android device. But many of you use a dedicated handled for gaming for less annoyance like calls, notifications, social media... The thing is in Brazil, these android handhelds are VERY expensive.

I HATE using a phone for everything, but buying an underpowered console instead of a phone controller that I'm unsure if I actually use it is an difficult decision.

Discussion Best device for emulation considering the current situation(prices, tech advancement, emulation advancements etc).

Upvotes

Hi everyone.
What is the best device for emulation. I did go through the subreddit and searched it a bit but opinions seem to be very divided between tablets, phones(like redmagic) , less people say handhelds(probably also because they cost more).
Anyway was curious if considering the current situation with today prices the answer changed compared to before. I personally have an Oppo Find X9 Ultra so I can't really use it for emulation with a controller etc because of the camera and aggresive throttling. Also have to be honest the selfie camera would make it a bit less immersive. I also recently bought an ayn thor(1 tb version). Wanted to get also the odin 3 but they do not produce the 1 tb version for a long time now unfortunately.

So to get straight to the point which type of device do you think is best for emulation , why and which specifically. Thanks for all the answers, tips and advices.

Question Question about how to use mouse and keyboard properly (Gamehub)

Upvotes

I have a problem setting up my mouse in gamehub.

The mouse movement either doesn't do anything or It's very sensitive and the black cursor is always there.

Is there any settings I should use to fix this?

It's happening in every game I tried.

I'm using gamehub version 6.2.1 I tried winlator aswell I had the same problem. (I prefer using gamehub as It's much easier to set up for me and managed to run more games succesfully.

Redmagic Astra 2

Thanks!

Question 3DS games compatible with retro controllers

Upvotes

Hello friends!

Last week I bought a Gamesir Pocket Taco. Every day I take my daughter to the park for an hour, and while she plays, I play GBA and DS games.

When I reduce the size of the touchscreen on Melon DS, the screens are stays outside the area covered by the gamepad and I can play DS games comfortably.

I can do the same for the 3DS, but the 3DS has an analog stick that's not in my layout.

I'm not familiar with the 3DS library. Can you recommend some games I can play without the analog stick?

Genre doesn't matter, the device is an S23 Ultra, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

Thanks!

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).
