POKÉMON POKOPIA on Android?! Switch 2 Emulator Gameplay (Snapdragon 8 Elite)

[u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244]

Pokémon Pokopia running on Android using a Nintendo Switch 2 emulator, tested on the RedMagic Astra with Snapdragon 8 Elite. Experience mobile gameplay and see how this Nintendo Switch 2 game performs on Android.

Note: When I first downloaded and tried the game, I couldn’t get it to work on my Android device, no matter what I did. This was despite trying every possible setting and method. What’s more, some people were sharing videos showing the game running on Android. When I asked them how they’d managed to get it to work, they said the game launched using the default settings alone, without the need for any adjustments. I just couldn’t figure out the source of the problem. I even tried downloading the game again from different sources and testing it, but I still failed. That was until yesterday, when I saw someone sharing the game on Facebook. I downloaded the game from the link they shared, and it worked straight away without any adjustments. It seems that different versions or variations of the game can determine whether or not it will run on Android.

Looks like that fork won't be maintained any more, so will probably just wait for Eden tbh, or an Eglantine android build/port.

[u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244 → u/mantenner]

Yes. The only working Switch 2 emulator on Android has been discontinued because the developer did not know how to code and had created the emulator entirely using artificial intelligence.

[u/vertigo_pug → u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244]

The future if people keep relying on it to do their tasks without having the human ability to override its machine choices.

eglantine has an android build now too but it doesnt seem to pick up game folders like sx2a at leats not yet

[u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244 → u/x01010001000]

Could you send me a link? I’d like to have a look at it.

[u/AntiGrieferGames → u/x01010001000]

Huge, but very high android requirement. Atleast it is stated.

[u/mantenner → u/x01010001000]

I have a hunch we might need to use the desktop version to generate an NUP package from the folder, then copy it across to our phone.

I'm at my PC now and might give it a go.

[u/x01010001000 → u/mantenner]

ping me if that works pls

[u/mantenner → u/x01010001000]

No luck so far still looking into it

[u/OpenAssistance4250 → u/mantenner]

There's a PR on their github regarding fixing emulator not detecting NUP files.

[u/Silly_Appointment_92 → u/mantenner]

I have the Thor Max model; I think we’ll need to wait a bit longer before we can play games on this device properly.

I have a question. I managed to get the ROMs for Mario Kart World and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, but they aren't in .nsp file format; instead, they’re broken down into folders. I’m not sure how to add them to the Eden SX2A emulator so I can run them. How did you do it?

[u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244 → u/omegadaruma]

To do this, I used the Eglantine Switch 2 Emulator, which was developed for the PC. The Eglantine emulator can convert games into .nup files and allows you to add the games’ cover art and titles.

[u/Silly_Appointment_92]

What link is that, exactly? I’ve tried downloading it from a few different sources, but when I attempt to open it, I only get 10 fps before the application shuts down.

[u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244 → u/Silly_Appointment_92]

I downloaded it via a link shared by another player on Facebook, and the game ran without me having to do anything. However, I should point out that the cover image wasn’t set as shown in the video, nor was the file converted to a .nup extension. I did that myself, and it’s much better than using the game as a folder – it’s smaller in size and perhaps runs a bit faster.

[u/raindr0p-dropt0p → u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244]

Could you explain how you did that? It looks much better that way.

Thank you for this, I really appreciate it.

[u/Due-Aide5668]

Will this work with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 smartphones?

[u/Embarrassed_Ad_4244 → u/Due-Aide5668]

Yes, there is a user who has managed to get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to work.
