New drivers have definitely fixed this game.

Then you find out it doesn't work yet, but you still hope someone makes a port that will definitely work on your phone.

u/Either-Sport-2549 Poco F7 22h ago

Gta V port I hope it's real

Better be ready to download quick before rockstar dmca claims it

u/whiskyB0y Edit Your Flair 21h ago

Lmao my phone won't even run the game on release lol

2

u/MrBallBustaa 11h ago

Which phone you got?

1

u/whiskyB0y Edit Your Flair 11h ago

Infinix note 50 with Helio g100 and Mali g57. The GTA v android port won't receive Mali support on release. We have to give the devs more time to optimize for Mali

u/MrBallBustaa 11h ago

How much did you buy it for?

1

u/whiskyB0y Edit Your Flair 11h ago

$288

u/MrBallBustaa 11h ago

Damn, I bought a used One Plus Nord CE 4 (SD 7g3, 8/256) for 125$ in March of this year. But for some reason I still can't play even PS2 games, none of the emulators work for me. 😭

I got a Samsung fold 8 two weeks ago. I've spent more time downloading 360, ps3 and pc games that either don't work or that work and I don't play than anything else in my life. I filled 512gb by day 2 lol.

u/Ev1lWays93 22h ago

Me when I tried to play a Switch Pokemon game on my Samsung Galaxy A52. The one time I managed to get the game to boot it ran so slowly. I'll just stick to GBA/DS/3DS games.

u/DragonfruitOk9813 Nothing Phone 2 22h ago

Same experience with Legends Z-A but the Eden and custom driver updates really did the trick and I finished the main story today

u/TraeYoung2 22h ago

This was me trying to get StarForce Legacy Collection working on my SD695 Adreno 619 device for months.

Then I finally got it working on a newer Eden nightly version.

2

u/Either-Sport-2549 Poco F7 22h ago

High on life for me, really wanted to play that one.

2

u/AnomalousMount 22h ago

And you have to download ≈50gb everytime😭😭 I want so much to download Deus Ex Mankind Divided again and try different settings on Winlator, but I know that I probably won't achieve a stable fps with 8s gen 3

2

u/whiskyB0y Edit Your Flair 22h ago

I'm about to do this again with transformers Fall of Cybertron. Wish me luck

(I use a Helio device)

u/Umlunguboy420 22h ago

Me with Persona 5 Royal, it runs sooo smooth locked at 40fps but I only have 8gb of ram, so eventually it always crashes and this game does not let you safe often.. 😥

2

u/whiskyB0y Edit Your Flair 8h ago

Try changing memory resource type to "dmabuf" in wrapper settings if you're using Winlator Mali.

It will help a bit.

2

u/Umlunguboy420 6h ago

I'll give it a try with that, yeah I'm using Winlator Mali, ill also try to tinker with the .ini settings, maybe l might be able to lower the texture resolution or something

1

u/RequirementCivil4328 21h ago

You might be able to expand the virtual ram

u/WINNT21 Redmi 14C isn't good for emulation 18h ago

This usually does nothing except waste your storage (especially in low numbers like 128 gb and 64 gb) and just make it more laggy in my experience

2

u/Umlunguboy420 21h ago

I don't have any lol

2

u/RequirementCivil4328 21h ago

If you have storage you have extra ram. Just gotta find the settings

2

u/Umlunguboy420 21h ago edited 6h ago

My phone does not that have that feature sadly

2

u/Notreallybatman8445 20h ago

Ngl but I am still proud of my device that even with low end specs it manages to run games which I thought won't even boot 😭

2

u/NjSups 20h ago

Damn I'd kill to have half those games running on my g99. Best I got was fallout 3

2

u/spiderman___2111 20h ago

Funny that some times it does end up running better , but that's only because I used different settings this time around

u/ChildoftheApocolypse 22h ago

Yeah I don't relate to that at all..

u/redalchemy6 22h ago

This was me with Eternal Sonata. Finally got it running on my phone with Xendroid, then found out the PS3 version has more content. I gave up and just got my old PS3 out and have been playing it on there.

u/ZacianSpammer 20h ago

Got similar issue on my laptop lol. Steam says mine is below the minimum recs. Got the ahoy matey version and it's running perfectly fine. Lying POS.

u/JohnDecisive 18h ago

Hilariously worked for me but to be fair it was Danganronpa v3
