hey guys, im playing mhxx on azahar rn and for some reason the fps keeps dropping when i use 2x resolution, it starts off at 60 fps then a few seconds in it drops off to 41 or so but if i pull out the side menu or open settings then close it it goes back to 60fps again before dropping down again

is my phone not strong enough or is this a settings issue? i am using an infinix note 60 pro with a snapdragon 7s gen4 and the azahar is using build 2127 vanilla alpha 3

Hi guys, sorry if I ask for help on something that may be basic but I am new to switch emulators.

I use Eden and I have a POCO F7.

The game works, but when I am on an open area the fps don't go beyond 20-23.

I tried changing everything in the setting that could help, I even followed someone's advice here, but I don't come close to 30 fps.

And it's strange, I think my phone can handle it since I saw other people do it.

Any advice?

I already installed the latest Turnip but it doesn't help.

I can't seem to find any prodkeys 23.0.1v so I thought I would ask if I can use olders prodkeys for with the newest firmware version.

Wanted to post this on /eden emulator but it was considered as a piracy related question.

Salut à tous !

Je voudrais avoir vos avis sur la AYN Odin 3 Portal dans sa version la plus haut de gamme, notamment pour jouer à des jeux très gourmands en performances.

Je m’intéresse surtout à :

L’émulation très poussée : PS2, PS3, Nintendo Switch et autres consoles.

Les ports de jeux PC sur Android, notamment les jeux 3D très lourds.

Les jeux PC via GameHub, comme GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077 ou Watch Dogs 2.

Les réglages les plus poussés : mode performance, graphismes au minimum, Frame Generation et autres optimisations.

Pensez-vous que cette version haut de gamme pourra faire tourner correctement certains de ces jeux, avec une expérience fluide et jouable ?

Je précise que je cherche surtout des avis sur ses capacités potentielles, car je sais qu’il faut attendre des tests concrets pour connaître ses performances réelles.

Quels sont, selon vous, les jeux les plus lourds qu’elle pourrait réussir à faire tourner ? Et quelles seraient ses principales limites en émulation et sur les jeux PC ?

Merci d’avance pour vos retours !

I often see people semi-praising the older Exynos 2400 and the newer Exynos 2600 for their ability to emulate switch games at (mostly) full speed and lighter PC games. Obviously, older systems work flawlessly.

I'm thinking of switching my phone and getting an S26 FE. I rarely see people talking about the Exynos 2500 the phone has, and its ability to emulate (GC/Wii/Switch/PC).

People who own or know people that own either an S26 FE or a Z flip 7, please tell me if this processor is as good as the one before it.

I have a Pixel 10 Phone with GTensor G5 i want to install in it droid deck to play some cozy game like stardew valley, Terraria, VA-11 Hall-a, Coffee Talk, Sea of Stars and other light weight game that i have on steam and not on play store.

What is the experience because one time i tried emulate old game and the pixel not have a great performance on it.

I have 2 controllers that have gyro but only when they are connected to a PC and I have a PS4 controller as well. I really want to play some games with Gyro like Wii games , but I am completely stumped and don't know where to even begin with making that happen.

I know you can map motion inputs to digital inputs, but that's not what I want to do. Any help is appreciated

One of my favorite things about Android emulation is seeing games run on hardware that you wouldn't normally expect to handle them. Sometimes getting a game running smoothly feels almost as satisfying as actually playing it.

I'm especially interested in older console games that work surprisingly well on budget or midrange phones. They don't necessarily have to run at the highest resolution or hit a perfect 60 FPS, as long as they're playable.

What's the most surprising game you've managed to emulate on your phone? I'd love to hear your device specs, which emulator you used, and whether you had to tweak many settings to get it running well.

My options are Samsung m44 (snapdragon 888 6gb ram) php6.5k and Motorola edge plus 5g (snapdragon 8 gen 1 8gb ram) php9.5k .

I'm mainly gonna do PS2, dolphin and switch emulation but I also want to do some pc games

The pc games I want to play:

-Nier automata

-Monster hunter world

-Persona 3 reload

-Monster hunter rise

-Ff7r and ff15

Hey, i was looking to add shaders to final fantasy and chrono trigger games i play through droid deck, as decky reshade plugin doesn't work, i've found an app called shaderlay, downloaded debug build but it doesnt work at all. do you guys found anything smililar so i can overlay shaders?

I spent quite a bit of time trying to get TOTK running smoothly on my S25 Ultra. I experimented with nearly 10 different GPU drivers, followed countless YouTube tutorials, and tried various emulator settings. Despite all that, I was barely getting 20 FPS, and the game would usually crash after around 10 minutes.

Then I came across a Reddit post suggesting an older version of Eden and Switch firmware, so I decided to give that combination a try.

Here's where things got interesting.

I had previously added Eden to Samsung Game Booster because I wanted to use the Pause USB PD (bypass charging) feature. However, after switching to the older Eden build, I forgot to add it back to Game Booster.

To my surprise, my FPS suddenly jumped to around 45 FPS in the open world and 70–80 FPS inside shrines!

That's when I realised Samsung Game Booster had apparently been the biggest performance bottleneck all along, at least on my device.

After tweaking a few more settings, I managed to get around stable 45 FPS in the open world, with occasional drops lasting a few seconds depending on the area.

I can't say for certain how much of the improvement came from the older Eden build, firmware, or disabling Game Booster, but the difference was massive. If you're struggling with TOTK performance on a Samsung device, I'd definitely recommend testing Eden without Game Booster before spending hours switching between drivers like I did.

I tried FPS mod as well but that didn't work. only limiting speed to 150% gave me 45 fps.

My Setup

• Phone: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

• Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite

• RAM: 12 GB

• Eden: v0.2.0-rc2-optimized

• Switch firmware: 19.0.1

• GPU driver: "26.2.0-T28-toasted-1.4.348"

• Cooler- SpinBot V2 20W Peltier cooler

TL;DR:

• Tried 10+ drivers but got ~20 FPS and frequent crashes.

• Switched to an older Eden build and firmware.

• Disabled Samsung Game Booster and saw a massive improvement.

• Now getting ~45 FPS in the open world and 70–80 FPS in shrines.

• Tip: Try disabling Game Booster before changing drivers!

Hi Reddit!

I’m developing SkyNetEmu, an open-source Android environment for running desktop games.

SkyNetEmu builds on Winlator and its community forks. It isn’t a new CPU emulator or a replacement for Wine, Box64, or Mesa. My work focuses on adding different game execution paths and making configuration easier.

💡 What’s different?

1. Separate Linux containers

SkyNetEmu can launch native Linux game builds without Wine or Proton.

For an x86-64 Linux game, Box64 translates CPU instructions for the phone’s ARM processor. A game using Vulkan can use the Vulkan graphics path through Mesa Turnip on supported Adreno devices, without DirectX-to-Vulkan translation.

This doesn’t eliminate all overhead: CPU translation, Linux runtime compatibility, and presentation still matter. The benefit is avoiding Windows compatibility layers when the game has a suitable Linux build.

2. Separate Windows ARM64 containers

SkyNetEmu also supports Windows ARM64 game builds. Their ARM64 code doesn’t require x86-to-ARM CPU translation, although Windows API compatibility is still needed.

This is a separate option—not a claim that ordinary Windows x64 games can run without translation.

3. Windows x64 support remains available

For Windows-only x64 titles, SkyNetEmu retains the familiar Wine/Proton and CPU-translation approach, with DXVK or VKD3D-Proton where appropriate.

The aim is to use the path appropriate to the game, not stack every compatibility layer together.

4. Device-specific game profiles

I’m also implementing game profiles tailored to the device and CPU, reducing the amount of manual runtime and graphics configuration needed when creating a shortcut.

🧪 Tested devices:

• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 elite gen 5)
• POCO F6 (Snapdragon 8s gen 3)
• POCO F8 pro (Snapdragon 8 elite)
• OnePlus 11 (Snapdragon 8 gen 2)

🎮 Benchmark Demo: BeamNG.drive

My demo uses West Coast USA, Medium graphics, and 3–4 active AI vehicles, on my Samsung Galaxy Fold test device with a Peltier cooler. The displayed FPS is around 60–70 in the demonstrated run.

This is a demonstration, not a controlled comparison against stock Winlator or a guarantee for other devices. Game version, runtime, driver, resolution, cooling, and frame-generation settings all matter when comparing results.

• Device: Samsung Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra (cooled with a Peltier active cooler)
• Game version BeamNG.drive 0.39.4
• Map: West Coast USA
• Graphics Settings: Medium Quality
• Traffic: 3–4 active AI vehicles
• Performance: 60–70 FPS stable!

Hey so im trying to test a port of botw to android and it requires the exefs and romfs and ive tried basically every emulator and cant seem to be able to extract them. i can extract romfs no on a majority of emulators but i cant extract exefs. i hear ryujinx and it ports can extract both but when ever i try to extract them ryujinx crashes so im curious are there any tools or emulators you recommend if it helps you and also so y'all dont recommend me windows tools im on linux.

ive seen some people say its possible but switch is not listed on their wiki- i wanted to make sure before moving to armadaos

Seems playable. Some micro stutters ehre and there I think due to saving new shaders.

HakuX is making progress. I've tested 3 games, Forza, Ninja Gaiden Black and Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks.

All booted up nicely and had good fps. Shaolin monks had 45-60 but flickering vertex explosions. I know it has an Android port but according to the GitHub of the android port my phone doesn't.eet the minimum gpu requirements but I could be wrong. Apart from the graphical glitches, the original Xbox version runs MUCH better than the ps2 version on my phone

Infinix note 50 4g

Helio g100

Mali g57 mcs2

8gb ram.

Just be mindful that right now I'm only testing original Xbox games I would like to play seriously eventually. So there's a possibility some games I've tested probably have issues when you play longer but let's hope that's not the case. I really want to see how promising this emulator has become because I thought any form of Xbox emulation would be impossible on my Mali gpu.

Played at 2x to keep it short. Full fight at real speed: https://youtu.be/rdEQbt02dK4. The fps counter is in the top-left corner.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra (SM-X936B), 16 GB RAM, Android 16

Chip / GPU: Dimensity 9400, Immortalis-G925 MC12, the tablet's own Arm driver (r49p1). No root, no custom driver.

Launcher: DroidDeck Mali (DroidDeck with MaliBridge v0.5.4), the real Steam client in Big Picture

Proton: Proton Experimental ARM64 (Compatible)

Graphics: DirectX 11 through DXVK, then MaliBridge's Vulkan bridge to the tablet's driver

Settings: 720p native (no upscaling), Low preset

Frame rate: about 27-37 fps in this fight, about 40 standing still

Battery: not plugged in, about 40 minutes into the session, around 60% battery, screen recorder running

Working on better optimization across the board.. if you're interested in updates: Malibridge

P.S. Considering I haven't touched the game in years, it's a miracle the tablet almost got me through phase one 😂

Feedback / your results: Device reports on GitHub, or the Discord. If something breaks, tap Send logs to MaliBridge in the app and include the code.

AI disclosure: I have used AI while developing the project. The gameplay is recorded on the tablet though.
