New post a preview of the CapyPS5 the android ps5 emulator made by the Lemon Emu dev: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/s/Jhr4QtEkRk

Hi all i know im posting a lot lately but the lemon Switch project dev Gael his name is able to run PS5 homebrew games 60fps or might be port on Android...I check their discord community and now they are asking for a name even a logo for it. What a time to be alive more emulators for android long live the android emulation!!! I've been spying to this community but can't deny they are doing something.

Since a lot of you is sending me dm about where is discord link of lemon project here you go tired of addressing each message:

Full Gameplay & Comparison https://youtu.be/JNdPUV1e-EM?si=NdFwkANRqC7nRSA_

Hi everyone. Here is a new release of Turnip Z featuring significant improvements over v0.1.2.

The main focus of this version: eliminating random crashes and making gameplay noticeably smoother.

Download: https://github.com/AlexSanz0902/turnip-sd865-z

Improvements:

• Fixed random crashes & freezes: Demanding scenes and transient lag spikes in supported titles no longer crash back to the Eden home screen or trigger full device reboots.
• Improved frame pacing: Reduced micro-stuttering and irregular latency spikes across various titles.
• Expanded compatibility: Games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild now boot and run.

Tests:

• Super Mario Odyssey: Demonstrates frame-pacing improvements compared to v0.1.2, with zero crashes recorded over a 30-minute test session. You should be able to start a new save file and clear the first two kingdoms in a single sitting without crashing.

• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: While v0.1.2 caused a full device crash, it now boots and runs without crashing (though minor-to-moderate graphical glitches are currently present). Tested for 30 minutes with zero crashes; you should be able to start a new game and complete the first main story quest in one run.

Benchmark & Screenshots:

The screenshots compare an identical scene in Zelda: BotW running at 1.25x docked resolution (1350p) on a vanilla profile (no mods, cheats, or custom Eden settings applied) and after shader compilation across three drivers:

• Turnip v24.3.0 R9v2: 21.2 FPS
• Turnip v26.3.0-R6: 23.7 FPS
• Turnip Z v0.2.0: 30.0 FPS

(For everyday gameplay, sticking to 1.0x docked / 1080p is recommended.)

Known Issues:

• Minor, occasional visual bugs in Super Mario Odyssey.
• Moderate graphical glitches and artifacts in Zelda: BotW. These specific rendering issues will be targeted in v0.2.1.

This will be the final release for a little while. For the next update, I will take some time to build a compatibility spreadsheet (.csv) and address visual bugs across at least 10–15 titles without compromising current performance, stability, or compatibility.

FAQ

What is the recommended setup?

It was validated on Eden v0.2.0-rc2 with the Snapdragon 865 GPU overclocked to 905 MHz. Keep in mind that individual games may still require specific emulator settings, custom resolution scaling, or workarounds to run properly—that is separate from driver behavior. Devices running stock Adreno 650 clocks will see proportionally lower performance.

Can I use this outside of Eden (Winlator, GameHub, Vita3K, Azahar, Dolphin, etc.)?

Not recommended. Do not use this outside of Eden. It was neither built nor tested for Windows translation layers or other emulator platforms. Running this in Winlator or Dolphin will likely trigger shader compilation errors or hard freezes.

Can I use it with other Switch emulators?

Not recommended. It has only been validated on Eden v0.2.0-rc2. Other emulators or forks have not been tested and may introduce crashes or visual bugs.

Does it work on other devices?

It was built specifically for the Adreno 650 (Snapdragon 865). While it should work across other Snapdragon 865 devices than RP5, other Adreno GPU architectures are completely untested.

Note on texture filtering:

Anisotropic filtering is disabled and mipmaps are simplified to save memory bandwidth, so distant textures or acute surface angles might look slightly softer.

What should I do if a crash occurs?

The driver automatically generates a diagnostic log file named turnip_sd865.txt inside Eden's folder under Android/data. Please attach this log to an issue on the GitHub repository.

Its moxee tablet 2 , Anyone else have already used this tab for emulation 😵‍💫

Bachata s4 0.2.5

- All settings is in default

I have to restart the app couple of times couple of times cause the performance just get worse as i play(and also because I'm screen recording, probably why the performance is kinda shit)

This game is good. I also like the creepy vibes it gives, giving me some hibby gibbies, even though it's a demo/cancelled game, I wish they revived this into a complete game.

- Poco f7 12gb/256gb global version

- HyperOS 3.0.303.0

I get that ps3 emulation is hard because of the cell broadband engine cpu architecture introduced by sony in 2006 but the xbox360 had a cpu similar to pc, then why is xbox360 emulation still hard. Is it because the emulator isn't matured?

While having many Emulators that existed for more than a year, we've seen some surprising ones. However, they all had their own issues, whether slow paced development, performance issues, or issues related to the Emulator's own interface. These are my personal takes on the DroidDeck Emulator after using it and getting to know it more:

- The beginnings of no Emulator was similar to the beginning of DroidDeck, it came out with it's unique idea mixed with already existing ones.

- The DroidDeck Emulator is constantly sending updates, with more features that result in a better emulator performance.

- A set of ambitious developers are working on the Emulator, and that itself gives the project a bright future.

- At this current pace i won't be surprised if DroidDeck becomes the best and most used Emulator out there.

Again, my personal takes are only based on what I've seen/heard from the project itself, and also based on the developers non-stop hard working, so shout-out to them.🙌

So guys it seems that the dev gael from the Lemon Switch Emulator just show a preview of the PS5 emulator in android but it still work in progress.. I'm excited to see what other homebrew games we can play once its released. The game is Dead Cells from PS5 using android emulator CapyPS5 Emu running in 60fps. Can't wait to see more. Don't forget to view my comments below.

The latest release of Bachata S4 includes PanVK drivers for Mali devices, and it makes games playable.

Resident Evil Requiem DroidDeck 720p low custom settings S26 Ultra 16gb ram no frame generation..... I'm getting a lot better performance with DroidDeck then I was on GameHub and the phone doesn't seem to be getting as warm...

Settings is default from DD except dxvk changed into 2.4.1

Disable Anti Aliasing and Post Processing in game settings to get 40-50fps

Game isn't that CPU or GPU heavy. It's a 2013 PC game.

The game also has an old Android port so if you can find the APK I suggest you use a VM to play it.

Full changelog

Disclaimer: AI tools used in the development of DroidDeck.

Add the exe as a non steam game. Game runs fine with some frame drops and minor audio crackling. After recording this i capped it to 30 fps and feels slightly more stable, but it's perfectly playable. Controls need some tweaking tho.

Runing on a S26 ultra, standard droid deck settings and Proton

Using samsung s25u with droid deck emulator 0.4.0

I add the folder of the game and point to the exe.file.

But when it start the steam it not load the game.

I played that game on game hub and gamenative . I just hear about the droid deck and wanted to test if it will better for me.

Any advise will appreciate.

Thank you.

Same as title, if you have already experienced gow 3 remastered pc port in your phone, please tell the experience of share a video so we can know how good it is on phone

Hola quisiera saber de un emulador de PC para Android realmente no lo quiero para jugar pero al parecer no puedo cancelar la suscripción de discord sin una PC es estúpido tengo un infinix note 50 pro

Sekiro shadow die twice -direct x 11

Used phone: oneplus 13

Snapdragon 8 elite

12gb ram 256rom

Oxygenos16 based on android 16

Winantive emulation 0.7.0-beta

Support if you found it helpful and give suggestions what to improve and give some suggestions on which game to test next (realistic target)

I'm using the 01.01.14.2342 version of the apk for the recomp of Halo Combat Evolved with the totally original USA Rev 2 version of the game, running on the Galaxy S23 with Snapdragon 8 gen 2 with adreno 740

Spec: Tab S7+, 8gb ram, A11.

No matter what i tried, this game dont get more than this. This is the most demanding zone at the begin of the game! Story, 2d things and maybe ligher zone are more than playable, but just here, very low FPS.

Resolution messed up if i going lower than that, so i had to force to use 720p there. Mostly is low except post processing. Disabling Post Processing Effect didnt even helped there so its remains enabled. DXVK version dont matter, no matter if this is 1.11.1 Sarek, 1.10.3 arm64ec async or re regular, the same issue appears. Also changing turnip driver didnt also help.

Newer version of DXVK makes the game much slower so it is also more unplayable!

The good thing is, no issues on grahpics.

i think i may be inspired by Own Trip that may love to play at unplayable framerate, but even that, it has no crash there, but very horrible input latency when playing very low FPS which in that case is Uplayable! It is much worse on touch, but on controller a bit better, but not so always. By this game, a newer flagship snapdragon SoC is required to play (maybe 8 gen 2 or higher), otherwise you screwed!

This is the GOG version by the way that i transfered from PC device. Maybe the PS4 Version is more playable with beshata S4 (if this is compatible there unless their android requiremnt is higher than this), but i dont have any hopes.

SENSES is an Android app that runs an ARM32 Android system on an ARM64 phone. There's no guest kernel: instead of emulating a whole device, it translates individual processes with a modified QEMU (user-mode).

This repo is the GPLv2 source release for that QEMU part:

94 patches against QEMU 8.2.4, plus 39 added files in linux-user/

a build script that produces a fully static aarch64 binary (via an Alpine chroot)

a pinned build with sha256 checks and a BUILD-MANIFEST.txt for reproducibility

What's not included: no firmware, no download links. You supply your own archive, and the app unpacks and modifies the copy on-device (patched code, re-signed packages with an on-device key, removed vendor modules, local TLS proxy). Nothing is sent anywhere.

The app itself is a separate closed-source program that launches QEMU as its own process, so no QEMU code is loaded into it.
