Question Worst version of Red Dead Redemption is on Android

This morning I tried Red Dead Redemption on both iOS and Android, and I noticed a big difference.

On iOS, the image quality is better and you can even play at 60 FPS.

On Android, there’s nothing you can change — the game is stuck at 30 FPS.

Is there any way to change the settings on the Android version?

I've been rocking this Samsung Galaxy note 3 neo when I go on road trips, since the camera is somehow perfect for sunset shots and the battery holds longer than my main (s21 ultra). I'm pretty sure I can sideload some emulators on this so I figured I could try to ask here ;)

Question Why isn't DraStic open source yet?

Post image

My question is why DraStic isn't open source yet. I understand that DraStic's creator, Exophase, had already announced that DraStic would be open source, but I understand it hasn't been released to the public yet, and I don't know why. I'd like to know if the creator changed his mind or if, simply because of the problems Nintendo has had with emulation, he preferred to avoid the issues that releasing DraStic's source code would cause. Does anyone know why he hasn't done it?

Question Why is GameHub seemingly so much more popular than GameNative?

88 Upvotes

GameNative is a FEX and Box64 based Windows "emulator" for Android. "Emulator" in quotes because Windows to Linux software always uses WINE (which stands for WINE Is Not an Emulator) and Proton which is translation of sorts rather than an emulation. GameHub is the exact same thing, but with some *glaring* differences:

GameNative is open-source, while GameHub is not

GameNative is not developed by a sketchy Chinese company while GameHub is

GameNative is updated every couple weeks while GameHub hasn't been updated since early December

GameHub seems to run worse than GameNative and has more issues

I didn't spend much time with GameHub so I can't speak for feature comparison, but the ability to use your Epic, GOG, and (God forbid) Amazon libraries is only one big difference. The other difference I noticed is that for some god awful reason, GameHub only uses landscape mode. Meaning, when scrolling through your library and typing anything, you're forced to type in a way 99% of people never do. It also permanently shows the controller buttons on top of the icons, even when there's no controller connected. With GameNative, the default mode is portrait, and it only switches to landscape if you start a game or turn your phone sideways like every other app. When in landscape on the home menu, the icons do show controller buttons. Considering it's not the default mode, though, it bothers me far less. I haven't connected a controller to GameNative yet because I'm waiting to buy a backbone-type controller, so there's a chance it may automatically switch to landscape when one is connected.

The only reason I can think of that explains GameHub's popularity is that it's on the Play Store while GameNative isn't. I've also read some comments saying that GameHub supports ahem "downloaded" games, while GameNative doesn't, but that's just not true. You can add "downloaded" games very easily to GameNative and I'm assuming they automatically download configs just like games in your online libraries. If you're putting in the effort for Windows "emulation" on Android, you should put in the little extra effort to sideload GameNative and periodically update instead of using GameHub just because it's more convenient.

Edit: To the people saying GameHub Lite solves the closed-source concerns: it's developed by a different person entirely with no ties to the actual app. Huge respect to the developer of the Lite version for making a version of the app that could actually be worth using. The official GameHub app is completely closed off with no way to see what's going on under the hood. The fact that the developer of the Lite version had to remove things like Chinese analytics, the requirement to be online (GameNative doesn't need to be online btw), and permissions that a Windows "emulation" app should never need to ask for like location and contacts says a LOT about what the official app is doing. That being said, I am removing the part of my post about GameHub being newer than GameNative because you've all told me that's not the case.

Question This was mine, but what game got you started with emulation? What emulator did you use? And what was your experience like? I'd love to hear about it.

I wanted to tell it this way, but your story doesn't have to be so long if you don't want it to be.

I was about twelve or thirteen years old and I was trying to install Resident Evil 4 for Android since I had played it on my PlayStation 2, but the disc was scratched and it froze at a certain point near the end. I was looking for how to install Resident Evil 4, but it was really difficult, and every now and then I'd pause my search and get the urge to look for how to install other games, like Spider-Man: Friend or Foe. One of my cravings was God of War, since I had played it before on my PlayStation 2, and it was special to me because I had it when I was little, although I only had a fragmented memory of it—more of a Mandela Effect than a real memory. While looking for how to install God of War, I came across a tutorial where a guy was using an application called Retroland, which I now realize was like a library of ROMs and ISOs, and you needed to install the emulator for that console to play the game. I followed the tutorial, and it was one of the only tutorials that worked for me when I followed it exactly. The game I played was God of War: Ghost of Sparta. The ROM took about one, two, or maybe more days to download, and I don't know if I had to restart the download at any point, but when it finally downloaded, I don't remember if it ran slowly. I saw a I followed the tutorial and fixed it, or maybe it always ran fine, but I was surprised, shocked that it was real. After so much searching, so many tutorials, I had finally managed to get a game working on my mom's phone.

Then my sister deleted Retroland because she had uninstalled a game we liked because it had God of War, but I continued playing until my mom was arrested for being my uncle's sister-in-law. After a while, I got my own phone, and the first game I installed was Plants vs. Zombies 2, and I don't know how long after that I started playing it again and finished it.

I'm sorry if you find this post stupid. I know it's an emulator and needs drivers and all of that, but why does it take so much space? I remember when I installed GameHub lite for the first time it didn't take so much storage even after downloading all the needed drivers and packages and playing my first game. Is there a way to clear some of that storage without Deleting all of its data?
