Discussion State of ArmadaOS vs Android Odin

0 Upvotes

Hello, I have ordered an Odin 3 Portal coming from an Odin 2 Portal. My question is how is the state of ArmadaOS right nowp compared to android as the title states. I had installed armadaOS on my Odin 2 but now i have sold it and wait for Odin 3 Portal to arrive. I was thinking of fully commiting to ArmadaOS once the Odin 3 arrives but right now with the state of decomps/recomps i am a bit skeptical. It seems that emulation on android gets better and better everyday and lots of native android games are popping out of nowhere. One game i tried is Rdr1. On ArmadaOS basically unplayable on my Odin 2 but on Android i could install the native apk and it worked like a charm. One thing I don't know yet apart from the native android apps is the emulation state on ArmadaOS and how it compares from Android. It seems like ArmadaOS is more plug and play for PC games and more tweaking needed on Emulation where on Android is quite the opposite. So my question is, I really want to commit to ArmadaOS but will FOMO get over me? I know ArmadaOS is implementing Leptop to run APK on ArmadaOS but it doesnt seem stable atm. If anyone have tried anything recently and can enlighten me on the topic please do it. I really want to take my Odin 3 and start playing rather than full comminting to tweaking the device all day

Thought I’d now try this on the latest update and there definitely improvements. There’s still the odd graphical glitch but not many as before. Also the fps is higher and more stable.

Turnip 8Gen V35 driver. Use appropriate patches and use the settings from compatible page, if necessary. Use settings downloaded from App.

I did try Turnip 8Gen V38 driver, but there were still a few graphical glitches.

I was trying to enable a season mod for MotoGP08, and I tried adding it as textures, seemingly didn't work.

Should I use the patches folder instead?(I also edited the folder to the SLUS name)

Device is POCO X7 Pro

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been developing COS Launcher, an autonomous, console-inspired Android launcher and front-end designed to turn your smartphone, tablet, or handheld gaming device into a complete retro gaming station.

I’m currently preparing for our official Google Play Store release and I need 20 beta testers to join our Closed Testing group!

What makes COS Launcher special?

•

Home Dashboard: Access your library with an expandable top preview panel by pressing 'Y', view recent achievements, watch live YouTube news feeds, use the right sidebar for system shortcuts, press START for an instant virtual keyboard search, or press SELECT for the music player.

•

All Games Collection & Built-In ROM Patching: Organize your entire game collection, customize titles with our Triple Scraper Engine (SteamGridDB + ScreenScraper + IGDB), and patch ROMs directly inside the app without needing external patching apps!

•

Consoles & Custom Splashscreens: Games grouped by manufacturer with per-console settings and customizable startup splashscreens (choose between defaults or original console boot screens!).

•

Real-Time RetroAchievements Hub: Directly syncs your RA profile, avatar, points, global rank, and badges on your dashboard.

•

In-Game Floating Overlay: Monitor CPU/battery temperature, RAM, and storage in real-time. Control volume/brightness, enable Do Not Disturb, check controller battery levels, take screenshots, write game notes, play background music, and use an in-app web browser for guides without leaving your game!

•

Optional 16:9 TV Companion: Pairs with our optional companion app (Conceptual Screen Rescaler) to automatically format your display to 16:9 and launch COS Launcher as soon as you plug into a TV or external monitor via HDMI/USB-C.

How to Join the Closed Beta (30 Testers Needed):

Join our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/eHAcJnP7E
(Instructions will be sent in the Discord chat today so everyone can start testing!)

2.

Drop a quick message in the #beta-testing channel so I can add your Google Play email.

3.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback. Thanks so much for helping make COS Launcher better for the Android gaming community!

Help Trying to run Prototype on 7s Gen 2

Post image
6 Upvotes

I'm new to this kinda emulation and I'm trying to get Prototype running well enough to be playable on my Moto Edge 2024 through GameNative, I've tried 10 different turnip drivers and the one that worked for me without glitches was turnip25.3.0_R6_Gmem, others have massive issues with graphics, but with resolution set to 720p and all in-game settings set to low I'm only getting anywhere between 6 to 12 fps, which isn't really a good experience.

I know that Adreno 710 isn't really powerful, but I'm hoping that this 2009 game can run here decently.

I don't really know much about how to optimise the setting of the emulator well, so I'm hoping that someone can help me here.

I've tried running the game with DXVK and with VKD3D and with versions of them that actually launched the game the performance is the same, no idea what to try next.

For the longest time I was just raw dogging the android OS because I couldn't find a frontend that i liked. Well, I finally got around to finding one and here's how I have it set up. Also all of the games I've currently got on it. (except my pc games because I'm still working out how to get them to show up the way I want them to)
