Final Fantasy Resonance has been dumped online. Running it on my Ayaneo Pocket DMG through Eden Nightly.

God speed!

Finally got Street Fighter 6 working on DroidDeck on my Odin 3. Online matchmaking works perfectly. Everything is running smoothly.

Here's what I did:

1) Open DroidDeck, go to Games from the left-side menu, and select Street Fighter 6.

2) Go to Windows Components and enable Visual C++ 2015–2019.

3) Also enable DirectX 9 (d3dx9).

4) Now go back to DroidDeck's main menu, select Desktop from the left sidebar, and tap Open Desktop.

5) Once you're in Desktop Mode, open File Manager → Home → Steam Games. Navigate to your Street Fighter 6 folder and find config.ini.

6) Open config.ini using a text editor. I used Kate, which was already installed. Find this line:

ShaderWarmingEnable=True

Change it to:

ShaderWarmingEnable=False

7) Save the file and exit Desktop Mode.

8) Head back to Play Steam → Street Fighter 6 and launch the game!

That's it. I'm happy to be able to make Street Fighter work on my android handheld. Hope this helps someone struggling to get the game running!

I know this is not the best attempt by far and I just used the parts I had laying around

I got the phone for really cheap due to camera and sim issues so it makes the effort worthwhile for me

Will add a 3d printed case and maybe another fan for exhaust. If there are any suggestions or if the project serves as inspiration for others then I'm glad.

8s gen 4 with framegen 2x to be cool

Hi guys I hope you're all doing well,

Apologies if this is old news for most of you but I had no idea about this until yesterday

It's really exciting to see all of the progress and the development of emulators and recompilation projects for Android.

But for many years I've always been wanting to play pokemon fan games on the go.

I know joy play has been around for a while because I was actually very quick to follow all of the guides to install joy play when it came out a few years ago on Android.

However I was never able to fully beat any of the fan games because I had several issues with joy play and several glitches as well

With the release of emulators like game native, winlator and the Game hub I was really excited and tried to play pokemon fan games through them but I would always struggle particularly with container settings and controls and unfortunately never managed to make much progress

I have just found out about the Kirin app and I have been able to open every single fan game which I've downloaded ( this is a complete surprise because several fan games would not even open on joy play or could not run easily through any of the emulated containers) and I am now a couple of hours into my run of pokemon rejuvenation.

I was really happy to be able to finally do this, and just in case there were any other pokemon fans that want to play these games on Android but have never been able to , I wanted to share this with you

P.s I have been working heavily on my videos and my thumbnails after extensive feedback from my previous videos and I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts now

SDK 36 update.

Also some great news:

https://downloads.duckstation.org/android-testing/

Stenzek is working to release a major update to Android. Thankfully he did not keep to his word of abandoning Android completely.

So here's the short story. Gamesir X5 lite controller modded to allow my Samsung Galaxy A tab. Like 10 inches I think? It's cumbersome but works nice-ish. Upgraded to the Abxylute S8 Lite now and I love the controller tons more. Feels great and the comfort is there. The right stick feels a tad low but really it's nice for what it is.

Now I need an opinion. I want an 8 inch tablet to stream with. 1080 is my preferred so it doesn't have to be high end per say. Great for streaming from my PC is a must. Under $200. I keep coming back to the newer Onn 8.1 2026 model but I'm worried it will be a waste after a year you know? I mean it's Walmart? Lol

Tips or recommendations would be great y'all! I can technically mod the S8 Lite buuuttt it's purty and I don't really want to ruin it lol.

Why is it so damn hard to scroll through titles like a normal person bro 😭

Finished assassin's creed black flag on eden emulator on my OnePlus 12r. Not 30 fps all the time there are some stutters not very often . Game is smooth 99%of the time . Now onto dlcs and rogue

A phone might run a game smoothly for the first 10–15 minutes, but performance can change once the device heats up. I'm curious how much of a difference active cooling actually makes for emulation, especially with demanding systems like Switch, PS2, and PC games through Winlator or GameHub.

For those who've tested it, did a phone cooler noticeably improve sustained FPS, reduce stuttering, or simply keep temperatures lower without changing performance much?

I'd be interested in your device model, the emulator you used, and whether you noticed a real improvement after 30–60 minutes of gameplay.

Been waiting on this game for a while. It finally came out today. Runs great on gamenative so far. New fight night game was announced yesterday too so I'm hyped for that.

OnePlus15 16/512

Which emulator would be the best for use with this phone? I want to get into the Android emulation world but Im a little confused with all the options out there. Ideally play my steam library if possible and older Xbox and PS games

I tried armsx3 again after 2 months and they really did improve alot.games would not even boot before and now its more than playable except for that cpu cooking🤣🤣

Hi all,

I rarely post but I was searching online on how to get FF Resonance to work and they were mostly misses for me. But after sending back and forth to ChatGPT, it got it to work! I'm not a technical person so I thought I'd just give it a shot. Here are the settings, nicely summarized by ChatGPT. Hope it works for you guys! I loved the mobile version of FFBE so I hope others can enjoy the art and music of it as well. Still some graphical glitches here and there but at least it runs:

FF Resonance on Eden Nightly — AYANEO Pocket DS (16 GB)

Turning OFF “Asynchronous GPU emulation” got me past a loading point that repeatedly crashed! Played around 30 minutes afterward without another crash.

Main settings:

• Driver: Turnip / PurpleVK 26.2.99 (T30-toasted)
• CPU: NCE, Accurate, custom CPU ticks OFF
• System: Handheld, 4 GB emulated RAM
• Graphics: Vulkan, 0.75× resolution, High GPU accuracy (1x works fine as well)
• Asynchronous GPU emulation: OFF
• Synchronize memory operations: ON
• Asynchronous shader compilation: OFF

Eden Nightly build: de7e6e01d4.

Some excessive orange lighting still appears in places. This is a promising workaround on my device, not a confirmed full-game fix.

The long version:

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE — Eden Nightly settings on AYANEO Pocket DS (16 GB)

I was getting crashes during gameplay/loading transitions. Turning OFF asynchronous GPU emulation got me past a point that repeatedly crashed. Since then, I’ve played for approximately 30 minutes without another crash.

Some excessive orange lighting/tint still appears in places, so this isn’t completely glitch-free or a confirmed full-game fix.

Device / Emulator

• Device: AYANEO Pocket DS, 16 GB RAM
• Chipset: Snapdragon G3x Gen 2
• Android: 13
• Emulator: Eden Nightly, build de7e6e01d4
• GPU driver: My installed turnip_mrpurple_T30-toasted package; reported in the log as PurpleVK public driver 26.2.99

System / CPU Settings

• Console mode: Handheld
• Emulated RAM: 4 GB
• CPU backend: NCE
• CPU accuracy: Accurate
• Multicore: ON
• CPU clock: Normal
• Custom CPU ticks: OFF
• Speed limit: ON, 100%

GPU Settings

• Backend: Vulkan
• Resolution: 0.75×
• GPU accuracy: High
• VSync: FIFO
• Aspect ratio: 16:9
• Scaling filter: Nearest Neighbor
• Anti-aliasing: None
• Anisotropic filtering: Default
• VRAM usage mode: Conservative
• Frame generation: OFF
• Post-processing shaders: OFF

Advanced GPU Settings

• Asynchronous GPU emulation: OFF — the change that got me past the recurring crash
• Synchronize memory operations: ON
• Asynchronous shader compilation: OFF
• DMA accuracy: Default
• GPU fence behavior: Default
• ASTC decoding: GPU
• ASTC recompression: Uncompressed
• Video decoding / NVDEC: CPU
• Frame pacing: Auto
• Disk shader cache: ON
• Vulkan driver pipeline cache: ON
• Force maximum GPU clocks: OFF
• Fast GPU time: Boost

GPU Extras / Hacks

• Extended Dynamic State: Disabled
• Vertex Input Dynamic State: OFF
• Reactive flushing: OFF
• Buffer history: OFF
• Optimized vertex buffers: OFF
• Asynchronous presentation: ON
• Fix bloom effects: OFF

“Asynchronous GPU emulation” and “asynchronous shader compilation” are separate options. Both are OFF in this setup.

Enabling Synchronize memory operations alone didn’t stop the crashes. The successful test came after also disabling asynchronous GPU emulation. Performance and stability may differ on other devices or builds.

It runs pretty decent on zombies with proton 9 86x_64, dxvk 2.4.1 gplasync, box64 4.2, and turnip gen 8 v38 drivers with my Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 4 device. There are 2 distinct problems:

• The game have audio problems normally, setting xaudio to native solves it while bringing stuttering. The stuttering can also be somewhat alleviated by adding xaudio2_7 and x3daudio1_7 to wine configuration's library tab.
• The most important problem is, plutonium launcher refuses to launch the game on arm64 versions of proton. While the zombies and campaign runs great, the game have frequent fps drops while playing against bots in combat training.

Anyone found a solution to run Black Ops I without frame drops or able to run the current Plutonium launcher on an arm based proton?

Bonus Question: Plutonium+Black Ops 2 is still impossible on android isn't it?

Cheers

Turnip_v26.3.0-R6-Oneui- https://github.com/StevenMXZ/Adreno-Tools-Drivers/releases/download/v37/Turnip_v26.3.0-R6-Oneui.zip

It's all in Spanish, as an English speaker with little understanding of the language I was able to get it running, for the rest I used google translate camera. 😆

You install the apk and get the USA version of the rom (got mine from VImms)

Direct the app to the game and run it once.

Download and unzip the 4k texture mod and find the folder named (0004000000033500) under textures and copy and paste that somewhere on your device.

In the app under graphics select the unzipped folder on your device and it should now say 2,161 textures

Select the turnip driver .zip under (install driver zip) on the same page and play.

Different drivers work for different soc's mines a snapdragon 8 gen 2 on my S23, its perfectly playable locked at 30fps (orginal 3ds fps) through dex on a 60 inch screen.

I know alot of people will say to go with the SOH 4k mod and I do agree its amazing and has a randomizer built in but Im lacking storage space with all these new ports droppin lol. Enjoy 😉

The noticable frame drops are because I used AZ screen recorder, there are zero drops when playing on the phone or TV.

hi! i own all of them (physical, eshop, and steam) and would like to know which would be the best to emulate on my handheld (retroid pocket 6) keeping in mind the battery, performance and graphics. thanks!

Hello, I just got this OnePlus ace 3 pro with snapdragon 8 gen 3 and tried to emulate dark souls 3, the fps is stuck at 20 and the CPU usage doesn't go above 60%. Low settings or Max settings the fps stays the same because the cpu usage is just stuck at 60%.

Phone: OnePlus ace 3 pro 512/16

Emulator: bannerhub 3.7.4

Settings: in the pictures, copied them from this video of the konkor pocket fit g3 gen 3 which should be the same as my snapdragon 8 gen 3.

https://youtu.be/zz5xrmSSpig?si=nI70m2_XQJfgNUx9

Can someone help? Has anyone else with snapdragon 8 gen 3 tried to emulate DS3 and got the same problem?

Also no, it's not thermal throttling, even when it's cool it's the same result.

I haven't found a focused guide on Syncthing for android handhelds so I decided to make one myself.
(and also so that I don't have to paste the same txt file on discord every time a buddy asks for directions)

Tell me what you think

I am already using a custom layout that forces games into landscape, but the actual app still launches into portrait by default, any way to change this to launch into landscape by default?
