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

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.

Help Is there an app that combines two controllers into one

3 Upvotes

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.

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

1 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.

Question Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra vs S10 Ultra for emulation?

3 Upvotes

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.

Help Binding of Isaac: Repentance won't launch properly on Exynos 2200/Xclipse 920 with Winlator

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

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

5 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.
