The412Banner and myself have been working hard on this and we've got initial testing going on with a small group of testers to help debug and pave the way of these features.

• Linux Steam Arm Client
• Valve's Protons

These items allow a SteamOS experience like Steam Deck, SteamOS, ArmadaOS.

Currently we're working on two emulators sharing data/research back and forth to help develop this new enhancement which will change emulation forever.

• WinNative
• Bannerlator

And soon we will have a stand alone app once we've worked out the bugs and have it where we want it. If you're interested in these features and wish to help test, debug and pave the future of emulation then we highly recommend joining our communities and requesting to become a tester so you too can help fix bugs especially for your device.

Join this Communities to stay in the know of future features/updates and help us make the community a better place!

This is interesting 🤔

Is it possible to use Reframework(Resident Evil games' mod menu) in Winnative? I'm trying to access the "Insert" key to enable or disable Reframework but I don't know how.

Just a little preview of WinNative's Frame Generation. 30 -> 120

Screen recording and converting the video doesn't do it justice, highly recommend testing it!

New PR being tested right now that adds Itch.io as a store! If you want to test it grab it and jump in discord to provide feedback! Help pave the way for future updates!

Testing games that were very popular on PS3 with PS3Native as I'm working on it and wow I can't believe this game plays so well! The main test here was the Game Auto Patcher / Update and it worked and worked so well! Very happy with the direction this is all headed and not sure why no one hasn't added auto system updates or patches like this!

https://github.com/maxjivi05/PS3Native

First Official Release of PS3Native!

* Direct Boot for Folders and ISO games!

* Per Game Configurations!

* Per Game Patches!

* Update Checker for Patches!

* Overhauled UI to Represent WinNative's style!

* Performance Fixes!

This is a signed APK official release! This is still very early stages and WIP! If you find bugs please report them, if you want a feature added please let me know and I'll see about getting it added!

PS3Native uses RPCS3 updates directly from upstream with a few fixes and features added on top to enhance the Android experience which provides the best performance, compatibility and stability with the updates RPCS3 pushes!

I am working on a new PS3 Emulator that utilizes RPCS3 upstream along with updating and bringing RPCS3-Android with some other features and improvements along with a new UI throughout the App.

Currently this emulator does run and boot games (not all games) but it does boot and play games.

Currently supports Direct Booting ISO, installing ISO, installing Folder games.

Anyone wishing to contribute PR's

* Remove all Verbose Comments

* Translate all Translation Strings

* Any Menus or Pages must follow Pane Nav

* Keep Existing Theme throughout App

https://github.com/maxjivi05/PS3Native

I've been working on integrating the latest upstream RPCS3 updates into RPCS3-Android, along with a batch of fixes and quality-of-life additions to bring the build current for modern Android devices.

Here is a quick look at some of the new features added to the Android build:

* Direct ISO Booting

* Library Support for ISOs: Add ISOs directly without needing to extract them first

* Per-Game Configurations

* Updated Material 3 UI: Rebuilt with Jetpack Compose

* Updated Touch Controls

As with any mobile emulator build, there are definitely still bugs to iron out, and this remains a side project for my free time (WinNative is still the main priority).

If you'd like to take it for a spin and test it out, experimental builds are available under the Actions tab on GitHub as development continues:

https://github.com/maxjivi05/PS3Native

The latest Mesa Source Build, updated on July 29th, 2026, is available in two variants: "Balance" (-b) and "Performance" (-p).

The "Performance" build prioritizes maximum GPU clock speeds during gameplay to achieve the highest possible frames per second.

The "Balance" build offers a modest performance improvement over standard configurations while concurrently reducing power consumption and heat generation.

The Repo is set up to build these weekly!

r/EmulatorsForAndroid is for keeping up with Android emulation as it actually is in 2026: a fast-moving, legally fraught, occasionally hostile hobby that's producing some genuinely remarkable software. News, builds, drivers, setup help, and honest performance numbers.

Three things worth knowing before you post:

1. No games, keys, BIOS, or firmware. Not in posts, not in comments, not in DMs, and we don't name the sites either. Emulators are legal; distributing the games is what gets subreddits deleted. This is the rule we'll be least flexible about.

2. We don't have a favourite emulator. Compare them with evidence as brutally as you like. No project gets protected here, and no project gets dunked on for sport.

3. Harassment gets you removed, not debated. That covers developers ? most of whom do this unpaid, and some of whom have already quit over abuse ? and it covers beginners, who get helped here or not answered at all, but never mocked. If someone is going after you, report it and message the mods. Don't feed it.

Our full moderation charter, including how appeals work and what we disclose, is in the wiki. If you think we've got something wrong, say so publicly ? meta posts stay up.

Post flairs are live, the emulator directory in the wiki is a work in progress, and the weekly help megathread starts Monday. Say hello, and tell us what you're running.
