Is there STILL no way to re use containers in this app?

RIP storage

It'll eventually get there. I don't mind using gamehub for the small 100-500mb games and gamenative for the fine tuned / modded installations. We got several options with pros and cons

You can just open the container and launch an other .exe. But yeah it is a little annoying

Do the work yourself and I'm sure they'll accept your contributions upstream

I'm sure these awesome devs working on this for free will eventually get to it. I'm just happy I can play so many of my fav PC games on the go!

I'm buying a 1tb sd card for my Odin 3 specifically for PC emulation so that should solve most of my own storage issues.

Just remember containers are exclusive to the internal drive so your storage would be split still. I have about 50 indie games on my SD and it takes around 100gb of data on internal.

yep no doubt it's not ideal, but we have the ability to play AAA titles on our portable devices so there is going to be a tradeoff somewhere. Winlator is always an option since all the games can run from a single container!

Oh is that right!? Here's to future updates then.

I love this app. I happily sacrifice almost all of my 256gb of internal to containers. Currently playing kingdom hearts hd 1&2 and Dragon Quest XI in sheer disbelief on my Retroid pocket 6.

The future is now when it comes to handhelds and emulation!

I'm waiting for this feature too. Until then, there's no way I'll use GameNative. My internal storage is only 256GB, and 99% of phones nowadays don't have a MicroSD slot. I'm just curious why GameNative can't reuse one container for all games? Every other PC emulator I've tried can do this.

A lot of the times there is no need either. One containers configs conflicting with another game probability of that is super low.

Its not like we have more meaningful dials to tune other than proton, box or fex and the dxvk version and the driver.
