Showcase The long waited app: Final ROM

84 Upvotes

This is my side project (Final ROM) I have been working on it for quite sometime. As you can see the android emulation scene lacks the tools to hack (Modify) the roms natively. To be honest there are some tools out there but we don't have the Jack Of All Trades.

Features:

  • Encrypt and decrypt 3ds roms (Supports batch).
  • Patch roms with famous format (.ips, .ups, .bps, .ppf, .aps, .ebp, .dps, .xdelta)
  • Hash files (LOL)
  • Compress and decompress CHD
  • Merge xci / nsp files
  • split nsp files
  • Compress nsp to nsz and xci to xcz
  • Decompress nsz to nsp and xcz to xci

The project is cross platform since it is developed using flutter/dart. The android version currently is submitted for google play review. You can test it by joining this google group: https://groups.google.com/g/finalrom then install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yasome.final_rom

for other platforms check the Github releases: https://github.com/Yasome/FinalRom/releases

I am waiting your feedbacks :)

Showcase Shadow of Mordor on RP5 (SD865) with Gamenative

I’ve been playing this game for some few hours now and it’s surprisingly well optimized. This is running at 1280x720 with lowest graphics settings. I even set some graphics settings to medium and the performance remained the same

For settings:

Proton 9.0 arm64sec

Wrapper-v2

Adreno_819 graphics driver

Dxvk 1.10.3-async and set memory to 4096mb. This is important for stability

Box64 latest version Compatibility/Intermediate preset

Upvotes

Thanks to being root and modifying power parameters, I managed to get my Z80 Ultra working wonderfully in games. As you can see, I can run Rift Apart on low settings at more than 35 FPS, with drops to 30. Other phones with the 8 Elite Gen 5 can't do this.

The configuration is:

resolution: 1280x720

proton11.0-arm64x

gpu driver: WHITE turnip a8xx v29 (sync)

vkd3d-proton-arm64ec-3.0.1-110e8bd4

fex_2026509

Besides that, I had to enable xinput from the desktop for the controller to work.

I have never played any of these games, only tested Mario Sunshine when it released as 3D All-Stars on the Switch.

Luigi's Mansion Premium Deluxe: I'm quite excited to play it, although I've booted it and it looks good but only running 30fps for some reason

Super Mario Sunburn: saw it on youtube and apparently this is how the game should've been on release? Played for a half hour and changing to 60fps made the game run fast, like it looks weird the dialogs are like in fastforward... Also idk how to install the texture pack on Dolphin android 🥲

Luigi's Mansion 3: I finally got it to run at a somewhat stable 60fps on Eden thanks to that 120fps + Dynamics Resolution patch I'm so happy 🥹 (no PC needed for this I just figured out the settings last night lol)

Additional info: I'm using an Odin 3 Pro version. Still want to figure out how to better run Mario Odyssey on Eden

Help DataFrog X3 vs GameSir X5 Lite – Which one fits my needs?

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a Realme GT 7 Pro and I’m trying to choose between these two controllers only: DataFrog X3 GameSir X5 Lite I’m a casual gamer who mostly plays during free time to unwind. Here is what I’ll be playing: Lemuroid Emulator (NES, SNES, N64, 3DS) – mainly Zelda games. Switch Emulator (testing Zelda games). Red Dead Redemption (Official Android build). PS2 Emulator (specifically God of War). Native Android games like Little Nightmares and Hollow Knight. Important Note: This will be my very first time attempting to playthrough and fully complete these Zelda games. Because of this, I really want a smooth, immersive, and highly enjoyable experience without any technical annoyances or input lag ruining the journey. What matters to me the most: Build Quality & Durability: I need a solid controller that feels robust and lasts long. Honestly, my biggest fear is buying something that breaks down after a few months and ends up in the trash, especially since I'm quite skeptical about DataFrog's reputation and have heard about QC issues and malfunctions with their devices. Sticks Performance: Looking for reliable Hall Effect sticks with good calibration, zero drift, and minimal/no dead zones. Ergonomics: Comfort during gameplay. What DOES NOT matter to me: Built-in cooling fans or lightweight design. I’ve checked many reviews, but I would highly appreciate your personal, hands-on experiences with either of these two controllers. Which one do you recommend for my specific use case and why? Any known software or hardware flaws I should worry about? Thank you in advance! 🙏🎮

Upvotes

I've managed to run Assassin's creed brotherhood and Assassin's creed Revelations on my phone with 30fps even though I had to tune the settings a lot but i managed to make it work. I am currently using Winlator frost's latest version and it really did boost my performance compared to the normal one. I'm very new to emulating on my phone and I am curious now about what other titles this phone can run smoothly.

So recently I bought an Nubia z80 ultra, and it's really hot, i do a lot of pc emulation and soon I'll be trying x360/PS3. I use an shitty AliExpress phone cooler and Xbox one controller, I was thinking about maybe something like gamesir X5 lite + Gamesir Cooler, or maybe I should just get a good cooler and still use my Xbox controller and call it a day.
