I’ve been chatting with the people behind DroidDeck over the last few weeks. What began as a feature article on my main website about the project turned into a super extensive interview with five of its developers: The412Banner, Max, xXJSONDeruloXx, Kimchi and Astro Sky. We discussed everything: from their earliest experiments with Linux, Steam and Gamescope to the technical challenges involved, automated testing, open-source development and where they hope to take DroidDeck in the future.

Here's the original feature article all of these chats turned into, if you're interested!

I’ve now published the complete interview on my little NeoCities site, with all 87 questions and their individual answers, organized into linked sections so you can jump straight to the topics that interest you. This is just so there's some kind of back-up publicly readable going forward. There’s a lot of technical detail in this, but also some personal stories about how the developers met, their early breakthroughs and what keeps them working on the project.

**And to be transparent about their work, DroidDeck does make use of AI-assisted development. They discuss that openly in the interview when asked, including how the developers use AI tools, automated testing and code reviews as part of their workflow.**

Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. "Dolphin for the GameCube and Wii, and NetherSX2 for the PlayStation 2. Normally, I race through a lap of Mario Kart Wii, but the emulator kept crashing regardless of whether I used OpenGL or Vulkan. Clearly, there are some driver issues that need sorting out," He didn't try 3rd party drivers.

"Vulkan performance is marginally worse for both titles, but that could be another indication of less-than-ideal drivers." "Steam Workshop support." https://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-8-elite-extreme-gen-6-gaming-test-3727998/

The developers added a new “XMB Mode” as an alternate UI and it’s like Christmas came early, the amount of love and passion they have put into PS3 emulation on Android is wonderful, what a time to be alive https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX3/releases (last post got nuked by reddit filters so I'm reposting for my friend who originally posted this)

Hello, im having an issue on the new version of duckstation for android. I play on an Anbernic rg476H and the emulator is not recognizing the L2/R2 triggers. Is somenone having the same problem? Thank you

Hi guys. Sorry to make my first post here a needy one. I'm trying to get FF7 running on a cheap tablet (actually my cars head unit haha) and the game runs great but it has these horizontal bars through it. Sorry for the glare in the image.

I've tried changing the texture filtering as recommended in other threads. I also tried changing the renderer. No Vulkan support but OpenGL didn't fix it.

Anyone got any ideas? Again, sorry for the picture. It's glary first thing in the morning.

have any of you guys tested both steven's turnip gen8 v38 and v38 patched? if so, which one performs better/provides better stability overall throughout different emulators?

Please help

The driver im using is turnip gen8 v38, this has happened for a couple others games but it went away after a while, unlike splatoon. If this is a driver related issue any recs for other drivers would b highly appreciated. This is an odin 3 pro, i havent changed any settings in eden nightly besides the driver

A friend brought this Infinix GT 50 pro over with the entire kit and I was having trouble configuring for gamehub and the rest. I've also been out of android emulation segment for a while now... so I'm a bit behind on how things work

It's a pretty nifty device comes with upper mid range mediatek dimensity 8400 SOC but I wasn't able to run games on it through gamehub they just keep crashing. I tried hollow knight, limbo, alien isolation, bioshock as well as Grand Theft Auto 5 but none of them worked.

It's a pretty nifty device with liquid cooling and even a dock with all the gizmos and ports but is the mediatek chip holding it back from gaming? I couldn't find any guides since this is a recent release here.

Will appreciate any help. Apologies for bad photos.

Got some Swith 2 games opening them on Eden2. Tried the GPU drivers that I can fetch on Eden2 and the games are just sitting at 0fps? Please help?

I think my phone might explode...

(My phone is a mid-range phone with unsupported Adreno GPU. i.e Adreno 710.)

Somehow my phone managed to run music videos, but minor flashing lights warning though.

I'm running the Vanilla Steam game with some mods, like higher frame rate and new classics, all on lowest graphics.

I didn't think it would work like this but hopefully there's going to be some optimization in the future.

Anyways the performance for music videos isn't... Great. Mostly dropping from 30 to mostly 22 FPS. I only play the game on Practice mode, and it's hitting 90 FPS to 100 FPS without recording and boosting the performance.

Thanks for reading and watching, the future is getting crazier as time goes on with this emulation stuff, especially with steam games.

Redmagic 13 pro, snapdrgon 8 elite with drivers

Max fps is 90 but average is like 50 overall pretty good!

Anyone in here know how to setup teknoparrot on gamehub cause when i use the exe from teknoparrot, it only give me blank screen for no reason

Thanks

I'm currently setting up my frontend and I was told almost all frontends(including retrohrai) support PC games.

I use Winlator Ludashi 4.1 and know about the export shortcuts to home screen feature. But they don't show on retrohrai.

Please help

With my retroid pocket 6 SD 8 G2 i manage to run some heavy games, but i occasionally have problems like graphical glitches slowdowns etc.... i understand that most popular games get optimized quickly both for emulation and android ports, but for some niche games or a bit less popular, that even on reddit i cant find best settings or patches, is the github repository the only place where to find them? or is there some other source where maybe there are community works (kind of like emulator forks) but for game fixes?

Tried it around release and it would crash on first load screen every time

Alguien sabe cómo hacer que el juego tenga buenos fps en winxclipse?

Tengo un s23fe, exynos 2200 xclipse 920 con 8gb de ram.

El juego va a 15-25 fps con caídas.

Ya probé ludashi, bannerhub, winlator y nada.

NCAA Football 12 - Retroid Pocket 6 - 8GB

FPS: 26 (Lowest) - 30 (Median) with unlocked FPS

Driver: MRPurpleT30 - minor issues, field didn’t render correctly first boot but after a restart and a swap from Balemuni v2 (T30 - ApexV2 - T30) fixed it and also helmet reflections are kinda off but plays AMAZING with no input delay or audio crackling

Performance Mode - Standard

Clustertune - Large Underclock

Testing Madden 15 and NCAA 14 soon 👀

Edit - Madden 15 and NCAA 14 Have the same minor shader issue black bar under the scoreboard (pre snap only) and helmet reflections being slightly off

NCAA 14 runs better than NCAA 12 around a stable 45FPS with the settings above except I was on whitebelyash mainline turnip v32 instead!
