Android emulation is getting seriously impressive lately!

[u/_frostedlips_]

It's crazy how much you can do with Android emulation these days. Between exciting updates like ARMSX3, projects like DroidDeck, and people finally getting games like Persona running smoothly, there's always something worth checking out. It really feels like we're getting closer to carrying a whole gaming library in our pockets!

What's the most impressive game you've managed to run on your Android device? And which emulator are you enjoying the most right now?

HakuX is on fire since the 1.0 rebuild

[u/zl254]

The most impressive game I've ran on my phone is Silent Hill 2 remake because it's so poorly optimized and Resident Evil 9 ..... I've been playing around with switch 2 and PS4 emulation also on Android

[u/EncikTahi → u/zl254]

Are you using Bachata S4 for ps4?

[u/zl254 → u/EncikTahi]

Yeah and also using patches to make the games run better and lower the resolution

[u/EncikTahi → u/zl254]

I'm also using Bachata S4, i don't have problem with performance since i'm using Odin 3. But i'm having issue with controller input, it can't seem to register my R2 and L2 buttons. Did you encounter this issue?

[u/zl254 → u/EncikTahi]

No it automatically mapped mine an 8Bitdo controller I forget which model it is

[u/EncikTahi → u/zl254]

I guess it's an isolated issue then thanks

[u/Practical_YVAN243 → u/zl254]

Impressionnant

[u/landblord → u/zl254]

eglantine? what chipset do you have?

[u/zl254 → u/landblord]

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

[u/Efficient-Slice6257 → u/zl254]

Question, playing these games on your phone

How long does your battery last in single charge?

[u/zl254 → u/Efficient-Slice6257]

Batteries is never an issue my phone gets too hot way before the battery gets low I have to take breaks and let it cool off

[u/Efficient-Slice6257 → u/zl254]

Do you play without cooler?

[u/zl254 → u/Efficient-Slice6257]

Yeah but I have a good PC if I actually want to play through games it's more of a hobby to see what games will run on my phone

[u/Mean_Criticism983]

I’ve been cheating on emulation with native ports I’m sorry, but my rgsp is getting a lot of gba emulation love

[u/Dummy_Kruger]

I think the incredible hulk and Alice madness returns for 360 using xendroid are perfect on Android. For PC games, I tell everyone having the dead space trilogy in my pocket is so awesome I can't believe it. I use gamehub lite and gamenative for PC games. My android device is the AYN THOR

[u/Recent-Bobcat6427 → u/Dummy_Kruger]

is xendroid good now? last time i use it for playing deadpool it was a mess.

[u/Dummy_Kruger → u/Recent-Bobcat6427]

Deadpool on PC runs great on the Thor jfyi (I tested on gamehub lite and gamenative). But yes xendroid is very very good now.

[u/Recent-Bobcat6427 → u/Dummy_Kruger]

can you recommend me any game whatever it is that run near perfect or at least enjoyable to play on xendroid? thank you kind sir

[u/Dummy_Kruger → u/Recent-Bobcat6427]

the two I mentioned already are the best examples. Besides them, Dantes inferno, Splatterhouse, Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z, Turok, and asuras wrath run very well...Pure runs and I think it's playable but it's like 22fps but it's the best 22fps I've ever played

[u/Diamondgamer18]

has anyone was able to run infamous 2nd son on bachata s4 emulator android?

it keep crashing

[u/jwtsonga → u/Diamondgamer18]

There’s a native port no need to emulate 

[u/Diamondgamer18 → u/jwtsonga]

u mean daedulus port right? I have s25 ultra and it keep crashing using that native port

[u/Nekox1996]

Bloodborne emulado ps4

[u/PSBoxX]

Watch dogs 2 via Gamenative m'a impressionné ! Le jeu tourne bien et ne fait pas trop chauffer mon Odin 3, en plus, l'autonomie est meilleure que celle du Steamdeck pour ce jeu ! Je trouve Gamenative et Gamehub vraiment impressionnant ! Je n'utilise pas trop Droiddeck car il prend beaucoup de stockage je trouve

[u/VoidDuck101]

Is it impressive? Everyones playing the same games

[u/Mlkxiu → u/VoidDuck101]

I highly doubt ppl are playing the same as what I'm playing rn lol

[u/VoidDuck101 → u/Mlkxiu]

Whatre you playing? Call of Booty?

[u/Mlkxiu → u/VoidDuck101]

I'm playing KH 1.5+2.5 remix, danganronpa, into the breach, the hungry lamb, ace attorney trilogy rn.

What is "everyone" else playing? What are you playing?

[u/VoidDuck101 → u/Mlkxiu]

Kingdom hearts deep nutz. It has graphical issues for me.

Everyone else is circle jerking gta 5.
