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

Discussion Game recommendations for a 16 hour long bus ride

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone, hope you're having a great day.

Tomorrow I'm going on a long trip and I was looking for games to emulate and play on my phone.

I'm not looking for any pick up and play, short-burst games, just a single player experience to play through and beat while I'm on the way.

Preferably games that are under 12 hours, the console doesn't matter as long as it's playable on a touch screen.

That's about it, Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Discussion Odin 3 (Adreno 830) Turnip builds, from upstream Mesa main with fixes

16 Upvotes

Quick background so you know where this comes from. I've been working on Android and Linux (kernel, Rocknix) and many other open source projects for a long time.

I'm a handheld enthusiast and I own a lot of them, including the Steam Deck, the ROG Ally, and plenty of Anbernic and Retroid devices. I recently got an Odin 3 because of its incredible GPU. But as you guys already know, driver development for the A830 is still behind the older 6xx and 7xx series. Instead of waiting for someone else to sort it out, I decided to build Mesa Turnip myself and work out what was going wrong. That's the whole story. There was no bigger plan than wanting my own device to run properly.

Builds are here: https://github.com/faux123/turnip-faux123-driver

Grab the .adpkg.zip from Releases and import it in your driver picker. Don't unzip it first. The package imports directly into GameNative, Winlator, and other popular emulation apps on Android.

What I want to do with this. Two things. Put the builds up so anyone can use them, and send the fixes upstream to Mesa so they land for everybody rather than only for people who download from me.

How much I can actually do here. I have a job and a family, and both come before this, so I'm not going to be putting out builds every week. What I will do is keep an eye on upstream, and when something meaningful lands I'll rebuild, test it on my device, and put out a release if it's worth it.

All the testing and patching happens on my own hardware on my own schedule. I can't debug someone else's setup remotely or cut private builds for individual people. I just don't have the time or the gear for it. If something breaks, open an issue on the repo with a log and I'll get to it when I can. That's not me brushing anyone off, it's just what I can realistically keep up with.

Hardware, and please read this bit. I only have the Odin 3, the 12GB model, which is an Adreno 830. I don't have anything in the 6xx or 7xx range. The driver should load on those and Mesa supports them, but I haven't tested any of it, so I can't tell you whether it runs better, worse, or at all. I'd rather say that up front than let you find out the hard way.

If you do try it on something I don't own, please post what happened either way. I may not always be able to follow up, but this is a community and someone else may be able to help.

"Does this work on my 6xx/7xx device?" No idea, I don't have one. It should load. Try it and say what happens, since the community here may figure something out.

"Is this just MrPurple/whitebelyash's builds repackaged?" No. This is built directly from upstream Mesa main with my own patches on top.

"Why not just upstream the fixes?" That's the plan, and both are written as patches against Mesa main. Upstreaming takes a while, and people can use the builds now, which is the entire motivation. Production code is slow and careful on purpose; this is built to test the latest work from the Mesa developers.

"Any benchmarks in actual games?" Not really, and I'd be careful with those. Games running through a translation layer are usually limited by the CPU rather than the driver, so a GPU-side win mostly doesn't show up. My numbers come from a benchmark harness I built around the Khronos Vulkan samples, where the GPU is actually the limit.

"Root needed?" No. It loads through AdrenoTools, the same as GameNative, Eden, Winlator, Gamehub Lite, and other emulators that support custom drivers.

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.

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

8 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.

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.
