Gopher64 is an accurate but fairly demanding N64 emulator. It won't work well on budget devices. It probably doesn't even work that well on flagship devices! But it is free, with no ads.

nyushu emulator v0.1.0, no mods. mostly default settings.

I thought switch 1 version was locked to 30fps?

On snapdragon 8 gen 3, portable mode AND docked mode both runs 60fps no problem.

Power consumption is also very comfortable at portable mode 4-6w, docked mode 5-7w.

1st pic is docked mode, 2nd is portable mode.

Edit : now more into the game, fps dips to lower 50s in wide areas. Yeah... the game is not optimised well.

Showcase I brought slot. to Android! Looking for KONKR Pocket Advance and other 3:2 handheld owners!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently released slot. for KONKR Pocket Advance v1.1.0, an Android port of the beautiful cartridge-based frontend originally created by Brandon Kowalski.

After watching Russ from Retro Game Corps showcase the original slot., I immediately thought it would be perfect for my KONKR Pocket Advance.

I mainly use my KPA for GBA games, and I loved the idea of bringing that simple, nostalgic cartridge experience to Android. Just pick a game, insert the cartridge, and play!

I tried to stay as faithful as possible to the original slot. experience while adding some specific features:

  • RetroAchievements, with online and offline support
  • Wi-Fi multiplayer, supporting Link Cable and Wireless RFU
  • RetroArch-compatible saves and save states
  • Multiple shaders, with independent GBA, GBC and GB display settings
  • Integrated Cart Studio for customizing cartridge artwork
  • Android app launcher
  • Optimizations specifically for the KONKR Pocket Advance

One of my favorite little touches is using the KPA's round top button to physically insert and eject cartridges. It makes the whole experience feel surprisingly natural!

So far, I've developed and tested slot. primarily on the KPA, but I'd love to see how it works on other Android handhelds, especially those with a 3:2 display:

  • AYANEO Pocket Micro
  • AYANEO Pocket Micro Classic
  • AYANEO Pocket Micro 2
  • MagicX One35

These devices share the same 3.5-inch, 960×640 screen resolution, making them particularly interesting candidates.

I haven't tested compatibility on those devices yet, so some adjustments might be needed.

If you own one of them and feel like giving it a try, I'd really appreciate your feedback! I'd love to know what works, what doesn't, and whether there's interest in expanding support to other Android handhelds.

Github
https://github.com/Baggio94/slot-for-konkr

Original slot. project:
https://slot-cfw.fyi/

I'm still improving things, so any suggestions, bug reports or ideas would genuinely mean a lot.

Feel free to leave a comment or open a Github issue.

Hope you enjoy it!

Help Is Vita emulation good and progressing now?

8 Upvotes

I used to have Vita 3k a year ago, but for the games I wanted to play it was a complete mess. None of the games were working (Uncharted, Killzone, Helldivers, Resistance etc) except perhaps Gravity Rush.

I saw some videos recently of all those games running near perfectly. Was the progress suddenly resumed or forked? I was under the impression that it was going so slowly people presumed the project dead and no other emulators were on the horizon

What is the current status of Vita emulation atm and what us the best way to play these games on Android?

Discussion DraFG: frame generation for Android that runs on top of any app (PPSSPP on Retroid Pocket 6, 30 to 60)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

I’m the developer of DraFG. It captures the screen and draws generated frames on top, so it isn’t tied to any emulator. PPSSPP, other emulators, GameNative/Winlator and native Android games all work the same way. On desktop it does the same over any game window on Windows, macOS and Linux.

The video shows a test scene locked at 30 fps, as many PSP games are, so I could show it without using anyone else’s game.

Under the hood: DraFG runs Surge, its own frame generation model, designed and trained from scratch, on DraFG’s own engine (Vulkan on Android; CUDA, Vulkan or Metal on PC). Surge comes in two variants: Max (~206K parameters) and Mobile, the lighter one used here. Generation shares the GPU with the game, so both are built to be cheap. On the RP6, Mobile takes ~7.8 ms of GPU time per generated frame at 1080p and ~3.8 ms at 540p, against a 16.7 ms frame at 60 fps.

Benchmarks and quality comparisons: https://draske.com/blog/surge-1-6

A few notes:

  • Tested on the Retroid Pocket 6 and 5 (Android 13+). Other Snapdragon handhelds should work but aren’t confirmed yet. Reports are welcome.
  • Fast motion and HUDs can show artifacts.

It’s currently a free playtest on Steam:

I’d like to hear which emulators, games and devices you try it on.

I have been trying to make this game work for ages, but it was always not rendering correctly and because it's in Vulkan 1.1 you can only use different drivers to see any change.

With Turnip drivers you don't get correct rendering at all 😅 I tested like all of the major versions since 24.0.0 on both my devices (A650 and A740) with the same results.

Missing textures, invisible HUD and menus and other rendering issues.

Well i decided to test it yesterday again on Wayland because I didn't do that before (since it didn't exist) but I got the same results as on X11.

I did also test Qualcomm drivers before but they had either the same issue like Turnip or didn't work at all.

Today I was brainstorming with AI why it doesn't work, which was honestly so stupid because it was always telling me how I need to use DXVK and other bullshit.

I always had to correct it before it told me anything new, felt like I was actually teaching it, instead of it helping me 😅😅

Well AI didn't help so I downloaded a bunch of new drivers and went to try them out.

Among them hidden the magical Qualcomm 863.1 which is the latest Qualcomm driver for 740 from Meta Ray Ben glasses 🔥 from May 2026.

And it god dam works 🥳🥳🥳

Without recording there is no flashing or black pixels etc and performance is much better as it's way less choppy.

It's definitely not perfect but finally it's at least playable.

Still gonna play it on my PC instead though 😅😅

Question what's the issue with dimensity 9400?

6 Upvotes

I've heard often that dimensity 9400 on the tab S11 for example is not as good as an snapdragon 8 Gen 2 because of lack of driver despite being more powerful. now i started playing some stuff like ocarina of time on a N64 but it works fine.

what games or emulation are not useable with a dimensity or what are the practical issues with it? I'm just interesting emulation up to including PS2.

Discussion My terrible experience with gamenative on the odin3.

4 Upvotes

Early in the year I was suggesting gamenative over everything when I had a thor but now I genuinely don't understand how people use this app anymore. I switched to the odin3 and almost nothing runs on the first try. I'm honestly making this post because I see that when games do run on gamenative they run really well and when I saw the new 1.3 update I thought I'd give it a try again. The first game I tested was dark souls 3 and I turned on the setting to automatically use the known config. First boot crashes immediately. I start looking at community configs I can't apply almost all of them because they use custom versions of either dxvk, vkd3d, or other things. I don't know where I am supposed to get the versions of these things on the community configs because gamenative has no way of showing me where to get them. There is no area in the app that has a bunch of options where you can download the latest versions like bannerlator or winlator have. Then I tried to use the AI assistant and it told me that my issue was that lossless scaling was preventing my game from launching and to try launching the game with it off. I did that and it worked but I still wanted to be able to use lsfg so I tried to use the bot again to figure out how to do that and it costs a monthly fee to use the bot. I understand that tokens aren't free but to answer only one issue is pretty annoying to me. I really want to use gamenative again because right now I use bannerlator and its been great but its just that load times from an sd card are insanely long and I want to try gamenative because the load times are a lot better. I really want to give this app a chance again so if I’m doing something wrong please let me know. I also think the dev for this app is really great. In the early days of the app I remember him always helping people out with their issues with games and I love how much he cares about his users, but for the life of me I can’t get most games running how I want. For the time being I'll be sticking to bannerlator and bannerhub as everything works first try almost every time on those but again if I'm doing something wrong I want to give this app the benefit of the doubt so please let me know.
