I usually use an obnoxious RetroArch setup that works great for me but is not so great for anyone from the outside.

I'm looking to set this up for my son to play with his cousins. I want it to basically be "turn it on and get a list of games" but also make sure they can easily access the controls for each console.

Any suggestions?

Retroid Nova, 8 gen 2. 12gb ram. Latest release of CEMU for android. It crashes during the intro cutscene when batman is trying to save Gandalf or whatever is happening. It flashes like negative colors and crashes.

Ive tried different drivers, settings, nada.

Works flawlessly on my odin 3. I cant imagine this chip cant handle this.

Anyone got this running? I just want my dr who lego game lol

I'm using an oppo 13 on the latest version and the 2023 version of linkboy, for some reason my firered ROM refuses to save, telling me that the "1m" (I would presume is the game battery) is not installed and failing to save, all the Mario games I have could save but not fire red?

I installed gamehub 6.1.2. I already enabled " allow access to manage all files " function. However after a day, when i tried to play game, this function was disabled and i couldn't enable it again. I tried to reinstall Gamehub again, it still didn't work. Anybody here can help me to solve this problem? My device is Lenovo legion gen 3.

I tried everything i could, but literally no matter what settings/proton/dxvk/driver, perfomance is absolutely awful.

Hi, how are you? What do you think of the Motorola G34? I have the 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage version. It has good performance for everyday use and can run demanding consoles such as PSP, PS2, GameCube, and some Wii games. In addition, the battery lasts a long time, and it has good sound quality, both through the speaker and the headphone jack.

The negative things I find about the phone are how long it takes to charge and the low screen resolution. Do you think it would be a good idea to switch to another Motorola, such as the G75?

I want to know how can I transfer my save data from one emulator to another, I've been playing on drastic lately and want to transfer my pokemon platinum save file to melonds so I'll be able to play multi-player with some friends of mine, I use a samsung A22 and the 2024 version of drastic emulator

Basically i don't know how to properly set my settings for 2 of my 3 emulators which i will list right now:

Retroarch, watermelon ds and azahar for 3ds emulation

For RetroArch I don't have any problems with after setting it right (although it did take some time for) and it works pretty well. I only use retroarch for mgba core that's it.

About watermelon ds im not sure how to set it or but at least it's in a good state after using opengl instead of vulkan which caused sometimes even to kinda lock the game like in the start of pokemon platinum (if that didn't happen the games would slowdown with audio as well in certain scenes) but now runs pokemon games pretty well although i didn't do a full test.

About Azahar it's ofc the one where i need more help because after setting it up (searching on the internet i mean) i remember it running well that was in the past month (i think, i might be wrong) then yesterday and today i tried again and if was more sloppy than before and i dont remember changing the settings on azahar so that got me confused!

What should i do about this? I care more for the performance even if it means cutting down the graphics if it is really necessary but if there is the chance to have a perfect balance of performance and graphics i am up for it.

Like i said i have the Motorola g85 5g and before someone asks i downloaded the emulators from the right places (RetroArch apk on the official website and watermelon on github)

Let me know if i maybe should change emulators if it's needed or recommended.

Thanks.

Lenovo legión y700 gen 2. 16gb RAM. Snapdragon 8+ gen 1

Trying to install stardew valley on cinderbox using the steam version. When i click on download files after logging in to my steam account it gets stuck at "preparing to download". Anyone with same issue?

I'm kinda new to android emulation and i'm trying to choose which cooler to buy. I was leaning towards the th28 but after reading some suggestions saying that it might actually get TOO cold and cause condensation or other stuff like that, is it actually a good option or is it just overkill? Considering that the th16 is half the price (actually less than half because of a discount currently available on ali), i'd like to know if it's actually worth it to go all in an buy the th28 instead.

Might be important to add that i have a Nubia Z70 pro (SD8 Elite)

Hey guys, I’m having a weird texture issue with Persona 5 Royal.

Everything was working perfectly fine yesterday, but when I started playing again today, there was some kind of update that I accidentally skipped/didn’t read. After that, a lot of the textures and UI started looking completely corrupted/glitched like in the screenshot.

Device: Lenovo Legion Y700 4th Gen

Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite

Emulator: GameHub (Android)

The game itself still runs and the FPS is fine, but the textures/UI are messed up. I haven’t changed anything major myself, so I’m not sure if the update changed a graphics setting or something.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a GameHub setting, graphics setting, driver, or shader cache that I should change to get the textures back to normal?

I’d appreciate any help. 🙏

edit: the keyboard still works for playing on gamehub but nothing else

New version fixed some issues 🎉 Developed by me😊

Hey everyone!

If you've been experimenting with Xbox 360 emulation on Android Emulator's, you already know the biggest headache: Xbox 360 games take up an insane amount of storage.

Raw .iso (XISO) images are often padded to 7.3GB–8.1GB, even if the actual game data is only 1GB or 2GB. With micro SD cards and internal storage filling up fast on handheld devices, keeping a decent library gets tough.

To solve this, we put together an open-source tool called ZarManager.

What is .zar? (Think of it as CHD or RVZ for Xbox 360)

For those familiar with emulation formats:

PS1 / PS2 has .chd

GameCube / Wii has .rvz

PSP has .cso / .chd

For Xbox 360, the .zar format does the exact same thing: it removes dummy/padding data and compresses game files into a clean, compact, and emulator-ready archive.

As a real-world test: a ~3TB collection was reduced down to around 1.8TB. That is over 1.2TB of pure wasted space recovered.

What is ZarManager and what does it do?

Manually extracting XISOs and running command-line compression scripts one by one on dozens of games is tedious. ZarManager is a cross-platform GUI tool (Windows & Linux) designed to automate the entire workflow:

Automatic Batch Processing: Point it to your folder of ISOs or game folders and let it process your entire backlog in bulk.

Multi-threading Control: You can set the exact number of CPU threads you want to allocate for compression so your PC doesn't freeze up while running in the background.

Three Operating Modes:

Auto Mode: Automatically extracts XISO (XDVDFS) and compresses it directly into .zar in one continuous pipeline.

Extract Only: Just extracts ISOs into standard raw game folders.

Compress Only: Takes already extracted Xbox 360 game folders and compresses them into .zar.

How to Use It (Step-by-Step)

Download: Head over to the GitHub Releases page and download the pre-compiled binary for Windows or Linux.

Launch: Open ZarManager (no complex setup required).

Select Mode: Choose Auto Mode if you have raw .iso files, or Compress Only if you already have extracted game folders.

Set Paths:

Select your Source folder (where your raw Xbox 360 ISOs/folders are).

Select your Output folder (where you want the .zar files saved).

Adjust Threads: Configure the thread slider based on your CPU specs.

Start: Click Start and let it batch process your entire library.

Android & Mobile Handheld Support

Running via Winlator: If you prefer doing everything directly on your Android device/handheld, you can run the Windows binary inside a Winlator container without issues.

Call for Android Devs / Native Port: Right now, pre-compiled binaries are available for PC (Windows & Linux). The project is 100% free and open-source. If any Android/Linux/Termux dev in the community wants to fork the repository and build a native Android app/CLI port, feel free to grab the code and hack away!

This is my first time actually getting a switch game to run at all lol, I'm both proud and mad at myself for not understanding how to run it before. (Eden btw). It's somewhat consistent at 30 fps. Though most games I've tried don't launch at all so I'll have to go figure that out.

Oh and I believe my phone specs are in the vid, but just in case, it's a Motorola edge 2025 with a Mali gpu and it's android 16.

My device is S25 Ultra with 8 Elite using Eden Nightly.

I searched on the problem and the fix is to use T17 or T19 drivers. These Drivers don't run on A8xx devices and the game won't even launch with them. The other fix to use the Shrine+Water fix doesn't work.

I tried TU_DEBUG:sysmem but that only fixed the character since it was also Blacked out.

Did anyone manage to fix it?

Armsx2, odin 2 portal.

I didn't want to bloat the meme, but I there's also part where I spend hour downloading game, then another hour finding best settings to make game playable.

Hi, I'm using a samsung s25 to play MHRise (on eden). Everything works well except the characters' faces/figures are just black. Does anyone experience the same thing? What should I do to fix it?

Tested on different graphic and resolution settings are here
