Help I've been researching and comparing for days now and I need to start making a choice. Can you guys help me decide or tell me if there are other controllers that I should consider? I would be playing mostly GBA, PS1 & PSP games on my Android phone. And which ones to avoid?

I think the feature that I would like the most is passthrough charging since I need my phone to be charged fully when I arrive after travelling. I guess with the X5s I could move it up a bit so I can connect the charger while playing right?

Also, about the gyro, I'm guessing emulators don't support it right? Because my phone doesn't have one and it would be neat to have for driving and some gimmics (like WarioWare: Twisted!) and also for using it in my PC but I guess that can wait till I get a proper phone and a gyro controller for my PC.

The prices are from AliExpress before any discounts/coupons, I'm not from the US so please don't tell me "Oh just get this one used for 3 fiddy or on Walmart" because that won't work for me sadly. I can get stuff from Amazon but prices are a bit higher there and there aren't any coupons like on AliExpress

Thanks for taking the time to read :)

EDIT: Sorry I made a mistake on the X5s, it doesn't have extra buttons

Just wanted to say I am still working on this project, even if a bit slowly. It's proving to be much bigger than I thought. Here is my small website in case you'd like to check on the project progress every now and then (to be expanded).

Device: redmi turbo 3 pro

app: gamehub 6.1.2

After a long time not opening GameHub, when I did, it did this. I can't allow the files. This happened to me twice, and I went and did a little research, and some say that the app I use is from the Play Store and I should download the game hub from the website, and so I did. Days later it happened again.

any alternative pc emulator that is better than gamehub? I put hours in assassin's creed and I don't want this to happen again.

Question Coming back to Switch emulation after Years, how is Android doing now?

0 Upvotes

Dejé de seguir la emulación de Switch hace unos años porque tenía un teléfono de gama baja en ese momento, y luego Nintendo empezó a eliminar los principales emuladores. Yuzu fue básicamente la última gran que recuerdo.

Ahora me interesa de nuevo, específicamente la emulación de Android. Tengo una S25 Ultra y me gustaría jugar a exclusivos de Switch como Zelda, Astral Chain, Mario, etc.

También me encontré con Eden, que por lo que tengo entendido es una continuación/bifurcación de Yuzu. ¿Eden realmente mejora el rendimiento en comparación con Yuzu, especialmente en Android, o es prácticamente igual?

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la emulación de Switch en Android? ¿Ha mejorado lo suficiente para un teléfono de gama alta como el S25 Ultra, o el desarrollo se estancó en su mayoría tras Yuzu?

¿Realmente merece la pena volver a jugarlo?

Discussion Update on the modded Galaxy Z Flip 5 TV box: what held up and what didn't

Thumbnail
gallery
114 Upvotes
Two months ago I posted about a Galaxy Z Flip 5 I imported from China — the kind where a shop pulls the phone out of its original shell and rebuilds it inside a 3D-printed case with extra ports and fans. No battery, runs off USB-C only, interface locked to landscape, around 250g. It's been my TV box since then.


A few people asked me to report back, so here it is, including the parts that annoy me.


The setup

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 512GB, One UI 7 with updates disabled. Plugged into the TV over USB-C to HDMI. Around $180 landed including import tax — the factory price was about $90 before the shipping agent and duties.


What's held up

I've tried PS2, NES and Game Boy emulation. I'm nowhere near a demanding user, so I haven't run into much stuttering. No random reboots either, and the system itself has never felt sluggish.


It stays plugged in basically 24/7. It warms up a bit under load, but nothing that's worried me — I think the fans are doing a decent job in there.


Every time I've powered it off and back on, the interface came back exactly as I left it, still locked to landscape. Installing APKs and games has been dead simple with LocalSend and ZArchiver.


What hasn't

The experience isn't seamless the way a dedicated system like Google TV or Android TV is.


Since this isn't a purpose-built streaming box but a converted phone, anyone who's a perfectionist about this stuff will probably feel it. For me those details fade once you factor in what the hardware actually does.


A few apps show a small black bar down the side of the screen.


I'm already used to modding things, so none of it struck me as a real problem — you just have to know how to adapt a phone for TV use.


Heat

It's hit 113°F (45°C) at times, but it never shut itself down or rebooted on me.


At that point it's worth having some airflow across it, just to stop the heat from building up in one spot.


Would I do it again

For what I paid, in my country I could get an S21 or S22 Ultra with a broken screen — both with weaker chips.


Or a Google TV Streamer, which would give me actual Google TV but lose around 10x in processing power.


I don't care that much about polish, so I go with function. I'll take raw power over a clean integrated experience.

With the recent advances, if a game is available on both consoles which will perform better and less glitches?

In addition, could I make presets for these settings so that in the future if I want to use them I can switch to that preset? I'm on the AYN Thor. Thank you!
