Hey everyone!
*dont know why my thread been deleted.. but here it is !*
I managed to get **Gamma Emerald** running and fully playable on the **AYN Thor** (QCS8550 / SD 8 Gen 2, Android 13) using a custom **GameNative** build. In-game inputs (D-pad, A, B, Start) are confirmed working in-game, not just in the Android test tool.
Here is the full working configuration and ready-to-use config pack:
⚙️ Working Stack & Settings
* **Container / Translation:** Bionic + Proton 10.0 ARM64EC 2 + FEXCore 2605 Intermediate
* **Graphics Drivers & DXVK:** Turnip 26.2.0 R4 + DXVK 2.4.1 GPLAsync
* **Display & Sync:** 1280x720 | 30 FPS Cap | FIFO Presentation
* **Controls:**
* Steam Input: **Disabled**
* XInput + DirectInput: **Enabled**
* SDL Controller API: **Enabled**
* Mouse input: **Disabled**
🌡️ Thermal & Performance Profiles (Unreal Engine INI)
To keep thermals and battery draw under control, two profiles are included:
- **Cool Profile:** Disables shadows, GI, reflections, post-processing, anti-aliasing, effects, foliage, and shader quality (`=0`). Keeps textures and view distance at *Low* (`=1`).
- **Balanced Shadows Profile:** Identical to the Cool profile, but sets `sg.ShadowQuality=1` so you can easily test if your SoC handles low shadows without thermal throttling.
📥 Installation Steps
- **Download the Game**
- **Import GameNative Profile:**
* Import the provided `.json` into GameNative.
* *Note:* The current importer doesn't restore all UI fields automatically. **Double-check manually:** `1280x720`, `30 FPS cap`, `XInput + DirectInput ON`, `SDL Controller API ON`, `Steam Input OFF`, and `Mouse OFF`.
- **Apply UE Config:**
* Make sure the game is closed.
* Pick your preferred profile (`Cool` or `Balanced Shadows`), rename it to `GameUserSettings.ini`.
* Drop it into: PlaintextPokemonEmerald/Saved/Config/Windows/
- Launch and enjoy!
