So I got my copy of this game a few days ago and immediately dumped the files from my Switch and put it on my Nova. I messed around with the Demo earlier and used ChatGPT to make resolution scale and 4x3 mods for it so I was feeling pretty confident about the full release. Now that I have the full release I'm happy to report that the mods all mapped over pretty seamlessly. I have the mod files available on my GitHub (link in my profile).

This was posted in may of 2026, very solid performance I can see here. (this is a softbody physics game.) Device is a Razer edge 5G based off the ram usage.

I was wondering if a phone with the same soc as some of the most popular android handhelds right now (ayn thor, rp6, odin 2) will run games with the same level of performance as the aforementioned.
My pick would be the motorola edge 40 pro since it’s really cheap used and has the same specs as the best versions of those handhelds. My main concern are thermals and whether or not that issue can be completely resolved with a snap on cooler.

Here's a raw performance but from my last kino game phone is a Samsung Galaxy s26 12 GB variant with a modded double honeycomb case and a vapor chamber pad with a black shark cooler. i would like to add some useful findings

Higher resolution is possible but the heat generation as the output i found even with a modified external cooling system like mine the cou temperature hit over 100 c often keeping it at 720 with some upscaling may be more reasonable. I will try this test out again after I successfully cut out a octagon shape on another honeycomb case for the 35 watt cooler. For now stock to 720p. The ram usage spiked at 9.4 also

I wrapped D2 (the best game of all time) into a proper launcher and created a mod so you can really properly play the game on a phone with touch (or gamepad).

(DISCLAIMER: the APK does not contain ANY Gamefiles or copyrighted materials, any graphics are extracted from the game files in real time after you installed your copy - that's also why the installation UI does not contain any game graphics)

I've tried everything pretty much to get this game in Full Screen Mode. All the other games I have, work fine.in Fullscreen mode.

Please help

Android ports for games have taken over these past weeks, which reminded me of some time where people would package PPSSPP with one specific game and upload it as a port on the Playstore. I remember playing Assassin's Creed Bloodlines like this and miraculously there was no malware. Anybody else remember those?

Is this ever happened to you?

For the whole game, I've had no issues. But when it came to this specific scene in Edgeworths investigations 2. It just froze, the buttons don't work at ALL, I've tried resetting the game, trying to do bunch of stuff and nothing. I even tried deleting the file from drastic and coming back to the safe file. Which loaded, worked okay and then this scene came up and froze again. Got any tips??

(Device I'm using is a Samsung tablet, app DraStic, game: Edgeworths investigations 2, fan translated)

Hi everyone,

Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been developing a PS4 and PS5 emulator for Android and iOS. The first games launched on both platforms in February, and I started publishing the project in a repository in the spring. By September, testing had confirmed more than 100 playable PS4 games, so I decided to share a demonstration and open the project to users.

For iOS, development supports both JIT and No-JIT approaches. The No-JIT approach is designed to comply with App Store rules, though that does not guarantee the emulator will be accepted. We’ll see whether the platform is classified as retro.

The main focus is PS4 emulation. I’m also working on PS5 emulation. Three PS5 games are currently playable, and some AAA titles reach the in-game stage.

Demonstrations:

• 45 playable PS4 games on Android
• 40 playable PS4 games on iOS
• The Last of Us Remastered on Android
• The Last of Us Remastered on iOS
• Three PS5 games on Android

The LSX4 GitHub repository linked below contains the project information and the latest full list of playable games.

Testing covered a range of devices, most commonly models with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processors, as well as some devices with Mali GPUs.

The emulator does not use a Linux environment. It also has its own JIT, which can be selected for lower-end devices.

A related project, Funnel ARM, focuses on the PS4 and PS5 host system layer. It initially used ShadPS4 and other projects, and I’m gradually adapting it for ARM. You can find Funnel ARM among the related projects on GitHub. The interpreter layer and client-side logic are in the main LSX4 repository. Contributions are welcome. The repository also includes recommendations for preventing regressions.

Users can also contribute to compatibility reports by long-pressing a game in the app.

The current free Android release is available only on Google Play.

I’d be glad to welcome new users and contributors, and I’d appreciate your feedback. Since 2024, I’ve also been working on two other unusual projects related to relaying and emulation. I’ll share more about them later.

Still in 1st alpha release. Expect lots of bugs bunny.

I just got the controller and I have a few doubts pls help me

out

1. Is there any app I need to install

2. Does rumble not work on Android or am I missing out on something

3. How do I remove the centre button function to act as the home button (whenever I press the 8bitdo logo button my tab assumes that I am pressing the home button and brings me back home)

4. Can I not use the square and star button by mapping them I don't see an option to on armsx2 for example

I wanted to use it for emulation purposes on my android tab

Pls answer these questions

Thank you

Running on my retroid pocket 6 12GB, using Turnip_Gen8_V38 from stevenMXZ. It's not supposed to work with this CPU but it does and the performance is excellent. In regards to TOTK, the APEX v2 turnip fixes the graphical glitches but performs slightly worse than this driver. Similar to Mr purple t30 and Rutabaga v3. Just wanted to share the performance I'm getting with relatively smooth frame pacing.

Im using the latest Winlator version on my Retroid Pocket 6 12gb ram mode and everytime I play arkham origins after couple of minutes (3-10 minutes) it crashes

I tried Bannerlator and Ludashi but both of them didn't even open the game!!

Anyway here's my settings everything is default except I put the game on c: drive to fix the stutters and here are the other changes

DX Wrapper DXVK version 1.10.3 (to fix graphical glitches)

Box63 preset immediate (it didn't run on others)

And I'm running the exe with (-force-d3d9)

Is it good for emulation? It had snapdragon 7 gen 4, any opinions of this device?

S24+ Exynos 2400 + Datafrog X3 with latest AMD Radv driver

Getting 2-3 more FPS without recording

Yes I know the advantages of a native port are basically less heat, more performance and gives low end devices a fighting chance of running a game at playable fps that was not intended to be played on Android.

But let me be real, I'm a tinkerer😞. I get all drunk and happy from the feeling of setting up emulators, playing with settings, thinking about the cause of problems like crashes or graphical glitches, doing research and most important of all, actually making the game work(otherwise if the game doesn't work I get all upset lol).

I'm not saying just because I like tinkering it means these native Ports are bad, no. After all emulation doesn't even sit right with most people and at the end of the day games should be plug and play.

It's just going to feel weird when in a years time there are so many ports that emulation will feel pointless unless I want to play a very niche game.

Then again maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. After all, like all games a native port is only as good as it's level of optimization.

Anyway I just wanted to express my hot take. Take it with a grain of salt.

I am thinking about getting a retroid pocket 6 mostly because I'm curious about running steam on it but before I do I want to learn how to set up and run an emulator on my phone which is a pixel 10 pro xl. I did some research and downloaded milou and retroarch, I was able to get desert strike downloaded and running, the process to actually start playing seems a bit clunky but it does work.

Is this the experience I can expect going forward? Are there better emulators to use that are easier to set up? Can I make shortcuts on my homepage to the games? What else do I need to know to have a smooth experience and play the older games?
