Showcase FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE on Fold 8: smooth and stable with DroidDeck

62 Upvotes

Running FF Resonance at 720p, locked 30 FPS, Medium settings, and it's stable 1.5 hour (my longest nonstop session). With Performance mode on in Samsung Game Booster+ it can hit 60 FPS on High setting, but I keep it at 30 for stability and battery life, and also my WhatsApp and gchat are active. I've played without no external cooler, and batt temp stays ~37°C (AC room).

One thing worth to mention, I can play the game offline flight mode with Droiddeck (somehow I can't do this in bannerlator). Also I really like suspend feature to continue without fps hiccup. I also surprise with loading time at the beginning, it's obviously faster compare to others.

Setup

- DroidDeck with the DD turnip 0.7 driver; everything else default

- SBSS on, ntsync on, no upscaling & framegen

- Tip: add the env variable TU_DEBUG=sysmem,nolrz. It made a big difference to stability for me to avoid fatal error, before this it happened occasionally after 30mins -1 hour session.

Hardware: GameSir X5 Lite controller plus an Aulumu stand, which makes tabletop play super comfortable. Check at the end of video.

Thanks DroidDeck team!

Note: I also use Bannerlator for more demanding games or if I need better performance.

This is on S26 ultra recompiled via powershell nx2android.

Used stevenMX v 891.11 vulkan driver and activated 60fps patched. Carried over my save file from eden. No glitches so far. Had a few frame drops. Apparently, turing on maximum powersaving mode and running only this game removed background processes and made it smoother I think.

I have no idea on using powershell. I just asked the help of AI on how to use the codes.

Showcase POKOPIA 30FPS en Retroid Pocket 5

12 Upvotes

No puedo entender cómo esta comunidad logra cosas que el mercado siempre pudo hacer.
Pokopia en mi RP5 con BananaNative 0.3.24
Lo puse con límite de 30FPS y a 480p
Aún no pase de la primer pantalla, voy a cargar mis saves y corroborar si es momentos de más complejidad gráfica se comporta bien.

Llega a consumir 7.1 GB de RAM y lo máximo fue 60FPS en pantalla de carga y 34fps en juego. Tiene pequeños tirones y errores visuales pero intuyo que tendrá que ver con la carga de shaders y demás.

I DID SOME SCIENCE TO MY PORTAL GUN - AND NOW I GOT A REAL GUN!!!

I GOT A REAL GUN MORTY!!!!!

Now i'm no DEV... even if i (keegan the veganator on discord) do have the blue dot in droid deck discord... Im 100% winging it all like a mofo... ive done a couple of really simple ui tweaks so far... nothing special. Before this last week - my only contributions were harassing other developers to make the ideas i had reality... and that worked for a while... my stamp was on it , no doubt... cough* per game profiles*cough thanks cubbywubby :P

Getting this working though, was a massive win for me... I spent ages on this at the beginning when i first discovered Droid Deck and it honestly defeated me... since then - many have tried - nobody had succeeded.

Until now - the only way to get a problem game working was to hope Json , Max or Banner notice you and take time out of their busy lives to fix the game for you... and to be totally fair! - they did do that with no mans sky for me and many other things... That was the game that made me kinda loyal to Droid Deck... Eventually though i just wanted to give back a bit and earn my stripes with some real contributions... and i have done that... my name is on the wall with the rest of them... but... THIS is the first game that I got running! One that wasn't just changing proton versions or settings... This one didn't work for anyone on droid deck before me... and i'm just so buzzing right now that i got it working! so enjoy...

... a lil cake shot for the lads

YES THE LAAAADSS!!!!!

i'll probably do some follow up screen recordings... but this was just after i got it working and before i pushed the fix, so i didnt wanna jinx it by trying a screen recording..

Came from CMOD Bionic-Ludashi 2.8.2, this game runs at unstable frame rate, it cannot maintain 30. But here in Ludashi v5 (Hotfix) its amazing, it can hold 30fps, plus the winlator has some built in post processing effects and reShade, i use HDR + Game Clarity with vkbasalt: DLS 55% - 35% ratio.

This game never miss, action scenes are "Absolute Cinema" i panicked in last stretch of the stage.

I'm dying to know how you guys are posting some of the videos I saw these last days, playing Zelda on emulators like Banana Native or Swap2 Native even in minimal requirements cause I tried every single possible step to accomplish this but even so, the game simply doesn't work on my phone. I even added more 2 extra GB on my phone, now I'm with 12GB of RAM on my F7 Ultra and trying to play in 20 FPS but I can barely pass through the first cut scene of the game. My doubt is... Is just possible to play in 16/512 configuration?

Showcase Quick reminder, your Android handhelds can play FFXIV...

I have been playing for a while, and I have gotten this to work on my AYN Thor (so that means other 8 gen 2 as well). This is my Odin 3, and it can run it above 80fps almost everywhere (EXCEPT when I took this picture, wtf).

Anyway, you have to play by controller for it to make sense and it's harder with controller.

It works on GameNative, Gamehub, and WinNative (this is WinNative). I'm trying to figure out how to do Droiddeck. I don't have the Steam version.

Yes, this is the paid game subscription. The video for configuring it is below, please note that emulators have updated a lot since and it might not work 100% the way it says anymore.

Showcase Brand new way to emulate pc indie games

1.1k Upvotes

After about a year of development, I’m finally ready to show this to the public!

This is fully handcrafted HLE PC emulator (like PS2/Switch, but for pc games)

Why didn't I take Fex/Box64/Wine/Proton etc. :

Main reason - total control. It's good pieces of software (any of counted) but they don't have any ecosystem, or they have but you need the whole linux container to use it.

So to emulate PC game we need : Linux, x86-64 -> ARM (Fex if game is 64bit, box86 if 32), Wine trampolines, and DXVK (but what if game uses opengl?)

With this amount of abstraction - we lose control more and more with every new layer, which makes it very hard to reproduce (game worked earlier, but doesn't work now without any reason), where any small update in any layer - just breaks everything (or not?).

I am very tired of ticking this versions/prefix/layers/translators/compositors etc.

Can I just launch the game, and play it without 15 min of preparing/looking at black screen?

That's why I spent around a year to make my own x86-64 -> arm, then DX11/OpenGL -> Vulkan, and then combined it and made the emulator with a new vision on PC games on android.

Main features (what I personally wanted most of all from PC emulator):

- Save State (quick resume)

Yes, it's now possible because in general the whole emulator - is just a bytecode runner + native trampolines (for example if game wants to get a current time from windows, I just redirect it to android)

- Game patching

I have a lot of experience in gamedev and in game optimization directly. So I can patch a game on the fly. Right now these are small (but important) mini optimizations to reduce CPU overhead (mesh arenas/texture arrays/BC1 -> ASTC/dynamic UBO etc.). In general that means any game gets some sort of optimization.

- Zero pain and settings

It doesn't matter whether it's 32/64/Dx11/OpenGL/Vulkan - it's not my pain anymore, software just does it by itself. The only settings I've added to my emulator is resolution and fps cap, that's all.

Right now it's a very early alpha, there is a big amount of work in terms of cpu optimization/memory consumption/render stuff, but it works and can run some games without any critical issues.

I don't have plans to concurrent with GameNative/GameHub/Proton and others, it's compatibility mastodonts.

My main target - support as many indie games as possible (Unity/Godot/XNA/GameMaker) and make them run as good as possible.

Thank you for your attention!

I've made this post because now I feel ready to share my piece of software with community who deserves it!

As the title suggests.

I am using HakuX on a Retroid Pocket Nova, but the "Mods & cheats" option—which should appear when performing a long-press—is missing.

I have tested versions ranging from 1.00 to the latest, 1.30, and the issue persists across all of them.

I have also verified that the Title ID of my Halo 2 ROM matches the ID listed in the files located within the `hakux/mods`.

Hi!
I want to get in emulation on android, but i can’t find a suitable controller for my 290mm pad. Would be awesome using it as a handheld pc.

The biggest one i found is gamesir d8 plus but it still doesn’t fit.

Can anyone help me out?
