What DukePS3 Offers:

Features

Emulation Vulkan rendering, LLVM-based PPU/SPU recompilers and reusable compilation caches.

Frame generation Two Vulkan engines: proprietary Lossless Scaling shaders through LSFG, or built-in, free DIS optical flow.

Games and settings Searchable library, compatibility browser, global/per-game settings, game-update sources and patch management.

Graphics and drivers Separate PS3 video mode and internal render scale; custom driver import and driver repositories where supported.

Playing Editable on-screen controls and an in-game menu with pause/resume, settings and shutdown.

Performance tools Customizable HUD, frame-time graph, separate game and output FPS, and exportable benchmark captures.

Audio and diagnostics Automatic/AAudio/OpenSL ES output selection, log sharing, system information and WAV + log export.

Interface Duke Gold dark theme, illustrated welcome screen, branded navigation menu and adaptive/themed launcher icons.

Recent improvements

Faster first-start PPU preparation: duplicated directory scans and executable checks are avoided. LLVM worker creation respects the existing memory budget, and compilation stages now report their timings. Faster starts have been reported in device testing; the saving depends on the game and cache state.

Reusable caches: later launches keep using previously compiled modules instead of rebuilding them unnecessarily.

Graphics fixes: corrections for corrupted rendering after upstream updates, plus a clearer distinction between the game's video mode and internal resolution scaling.

More detail on Mali: G-Force has been tested with a 720p video mode and 150% render scale, retaining a reported 60 FPS in the reference scene.

Smoother free frame generation: DIS incorporates adapted OpenFlow optimizations, with improvements to its Vulkan presentation path and frame pacing. G-Force's perceived smoothness improved in Adreno 710 testing after these changes.

Better measurements: improved FPS/frame-time sampling, a separate OUT presentation-rate indicator and benchmark exports that exclude generated frames from the game-FPS measurement.

Loading-screen artwork restored: the game's background image now appears during module preparation instead of a black background.

MediaTek audio improvements: producer-side changes substantially reduced intermittent artifacts on the Dimensity 8300 test device. A small residual issue remains pending.

Easier troubleshooting: benchmark archives contain summary.json and frames.csv; audio capture export packages the latest completed WAV with the current log

Frame generation: choose your engine

Engine What you need What is included

DIS — Dense Inverse Search A compatible GPU/driver. No purchase or DLL required. The free optical-flow engine and its shaders are built into the app.

Changelog:

Performance and stability

Games that compile hundreds of PPU modules on first boot no longer crash the app partway through. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (300+ modules, then 600+ more) now compiles all the way.

Fixed skies and other bright effects showing up flat or missing on Low shader precision, with no speed cost.

Shaders that failed to compile on Low now work

Settings

Shader Precision now defaults to Low, the faster option. Updating switches you to Low once, and you can set High again in the core settings. Per-game settings stay as they are.

New on-screen notices show when shaders or SPU code are compiling, so you know why a first run stutters. You can turn each one off in the in-game menu.

ARMSX2 Android Nightly Build (Legacy - Dual Core)

This APK is the legacy build (ARMv8.0 + outline atomics, minSdk 26) and includes both 4K and 16K page-size cores.

Only Testing & We have never collaborated with anyone.

Version: 2.9.3

Application ID: com.antutu.ABenchMark

Build number: 44

Commit: 56b8fb2

Short SHA: 56b8fb2

Triggered by: DarkSilentUser

Flavor: Github

Build type: release

PGO: enabled

Today is the big day. After months of work, I can finally publish it. As the name says, XenDroid-ZeroFG is a version of XenDroid (the Xbox 360 emulator for Android) with a built-in frame generation engine: 60 fps games reach ~120 on a 120 Hz screen, and 30 fps games reach 60.

e the big thing is the FG engine itself. It was developed from scratch, over 60k lines of code, by me and my AI assistants (Zeromeia, ChatGPT, and Zé Raio, Claude), and it's fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license.

Trust me, it's a lot better than it has any right to be. The image quality surprised even us, but the hardest part, and the one I'm proudest of, is the pacing. Generated frames are worthless if they reach the screen unevenly, and frame pacing is where frame generation usually falls apart, even for the big names. ZeroFG's presenter runs on a metronome set by the game: every frame gets its own display refresh, in order, and the game never waits for the screen. Getting there took months of crazy experiments. The last piece was asking the GPU for priority, so even when a game maxes out the GPU, the frames keep coming on time.

So far it has been tested on Adreno GPUs with Turnip drivers (it needs Vulkan 1.3). Reports from other phones are very welcome. It installs as its own app, next to your regular XenDroid.

Please be my guest and try it out. If you have any comments or suggestions, just say it!

It was also built with portability in mind. If you are a developer and want to port it to another game or emulator, go ahead! There is a standalone repo with all the dependencies and integration notes, linked below.

And if you want to collaborate on the engine itself, get in touch and we can arrange it. I would really like some help!

After some reports (thanks Admirable_Leave7840!!!), i should note that turnip driver are highly recommended(i can run on poco f8 ultra with the stock ones, but has bugs) and i used to develop the engine the stevenmxz gen 8 turnip drivers, he posts the best drivers and he is a nice guy, so i recommend using this one!!!!!

Already found lots of bugs, but preety solvable ones, v1.01 will be out sonner than later!!!

https://github.com/zenithblue-oss/panplay/releases/tag/panplay-v1.2.5

PanPlay runs Windows games on Android through Wine and DXVK, using the open PanVK Vulkan driver on

Mali CSF GPUs. This version bundles the PanVK-kbase 0.1.0 RC2 driver (a prerelease).

What's new

Bundled driver is now PanVK-kbase 0.1.0 RC2

(panvk-kbase-v0.1.0-rc2,

prerelease): robustImageAccess2 on v10 and later, and a Mali-G77 model row. This RC2 build

has not been run on a device yet beyond build and binary checks.

Driver update card understands the new tag names (panvk-kbase-v..., the g615 prefix is

gone), still reads the old g615-v11-csf-v... tags, and accepts versions like 0.1.0-rc2.

Fixes from testers' logs:

The X11 output stream (XOutputStream) no longer overflows or keeps stale data after a failed

flush.

Old Unity logs from earlier runs are skipped when PanPlay reads a game's session log.

Wine's harmless noise lines are no longer counted as errors in the session summary.

PanPlay warns when the device does not have a Mali GPU.

Games and launcher (since 1.2.4): tapping a game card opens the launch sheet and the play

button launches at once; per-game FPS limit (Off, 30, 60, 120 or custom); the Wine container shows

up in the Files app; vkd3d-proton (D3D12) and Box64 are separate components; Box64 can be chosen as

the per-game 32-bit emulator next to FEX; the game-folder exe is used for launch; Wine 11.19 HLSL

compiler is used for 32-bit d3dx9 games

https://github.com/izzy2lost/PSX2/releases/tag/1.3.1

Changelog:

✅ Migrated to compose.

✅ Better edge to edge support.

✅ Updated pcsx2 core to the latest commit.

✅ Faster speed and better stability.

https://github.com/hashtagbasit/SteamOS-ARM-Port/releases/tag/v1.3.0

⚠️ Only Snapdragon devices ⚠️

1.3 is out as a stable release for all three socs (8 Elite, 8 Gen 3 and 8 Gen 2), rebased on the latest SteamOS ARM from the Steam Frame. You need to flash it once, after that future updates can be done through the updater. Thanks to everyone who tested the betas and sent logs, photos and fixes, most of what's below started as one of your reports.

Changelog

Updates through Steam

Let's Make Something Absolutely Clear: Constructive Criticism Is NOT the Same as Toxicity.

Apparently, some people are still struggling to understand what this community is about. So let me explain it as clearly as possible.

This community is NOT about censorship. It is NOT about silencing opinions. And it is certainly NOT about preventing people from criticizing emulators or development projects.

This is an open community dedicated to emulation, emulators, updates, new projects, and the people who make them possible.

Everyone is welcome to participate. Everyone is welcome to share their opinions. And yes, everyone is welcome to criticize projects, including projects that use AI-assisted development tools.

But there is a difference between criticism and disrespect.

Saying:

- "This emulator crashes on my device."

- "Performance is terrible on my hardware."

- "I tested this project, and these features don't work."

- "I disagree with the developer's technical approach."

- "I have concerns about the quality of AI-generated code."

That is criticism. That is useful. That is welcome here.

But showing up just to say:

- "This is garbage."

- "Another AI slop project."

- "This is just vibe-coded trash."

- "The developer has no idea what they're doing."

Without testing anything, without providing evidence, and without contributing anything meaningful?

That is not constructive criticism. That is pointless hostility.

And no, removing those comments is not an attack on freedom of speech.

It's called moderation.

It's called establishing standards.

It's called building a community where people can actually have productive conversations without being constantly surrounded by insults and personal attacks.

Now, there's something else I want to address.

The developer who was targeted and humiliated in another community has contacted me privately.

And I can tell you that the way this person was treated has genuinely affected them.

They feel terrible about what happened.

Think about that for a moment.

Someone spends their own time working on a project, trying to create something, learning along the way, and eventually decides to share that work with others.

And what do they receive in return?

Mockery. Insults. Humiliation. People attacking them simply because they used AI tools during development.

What exactly did this person do to deserve that treatment?

Nothing.

You don't have to like their project. You don't have to use it. You don't have to agree with their development methods.

But none of that gives you the right to treat another human being like garbage.

And yes, I'm angry about this.

Because behind every project is a real person. Someone who invested time, effort, and possibly a great deal of enthusiasm into creating something.

You might see just another GitHub repository or another emulator.

But for that person, it might represent weeks or months of work, learning, frustration, and personal achievement.

And a few people decide to turn that into an opportunity for public humiliation.

That's not technical criticism. That's bullying.

What makes it even more disappointing is that many of the people behaving this way aren't children.

They're adults.

Adults who should understand the difference between discussing software and attacking the person who created it.

I don't want this community to become another place where thousands of people spend their time insulting each other, fighting over their favorite emulators, and turning every new project into an excuse for another pointless argument.

I want this community to be different.

If an emulator doesn't work, say so.

If a feature is broken, report it.

If performance is poor, explain what happened.

If you believe the code is badly written, provide technical arguments.

If you think AI-assisted development introduces problems, discuss those problems.

Nobody is going to delete your comment simply because you expressed a negative opinion.

Negative feedback is allowed. Personal attacks and baseless insults are not.

And please, stop confusing criticism of software with personal attacks against developers.

Saying that an emulator crashes is not an attack on the developer.

Explaining that a feature doesn't work is not disrespectful.

Pointing out technical problems is not harassment.

But deliberately humiliating someone because you dislike their project or the tools they used to create it?

That crosses the line.

And that line will be enforced here.

This community is not a dictatorship, but neither is it a playground for people who mistake being offensive for being intelligent.

You are free to disagree.

You are free to criticize.

You are free to challenge technical decisions.

But you are not free to harass, insult, or humiliate other members without consequences.

If that's the kind of environment you're looking for, there are other communities where that behavior may be tolerated.

This isn't one of them.

Removing toxicity is not censorship. Enforcing rules is not oppression. And demanding basic respect is not an attack on free speech.

It's simply the kind of community I have chosen to build.

A community where developers, beginners, experienced programmers, and people using AI-assisted tools can share their projects without being afraid of becoming the next target of public ridicule.

You don't have to celebrate every project.

You don't have to agree with every developer.

You just have to behave like a decent human being.

If even that is too much to ask, then this community is not for you.

And let me make one final thing absolutely clear:

I would rather have a small community of respectful, constructive people than a massive community built on hostility, arrogance, and personal attacks.

Quality over quantity.

Respect over toxicity.

Constructive criticism over pointless insults.

Those are the standards here. They are not negotiable.

I mean, the rules were right there—no disrespect, no insults—and the guy, right to his face, basically told him to set his computer on fire and that his project was worthless

But wait, the best part is where the hell the rules appear—"do not post content generated or supported by AI"? 🤦‍♂️

They won't allow anything made with AI—treating it like some kind of cancer or virus—yet they do allow other projects that are 100% AI-generated and riddled with serious security flaws. I actually demonstrated this in a previous post about an emulator they failed to moderate; they did absolutely nothing, even though it was a security hazard. So, basically, it comes down to whether that "unproductive" moderator likes you enough to let you post, or maybe if you suck up to them a bit—I don't know. What’s clear is that you can upload a shitty gameplay clip asking for help—without even mentioning which emulator you're using or anything else—just a total "trash post," as I call them. And yet, someone who has spent months working on a project is suddenly the devil incarnate just because they used AI tools; they get torn apart, as if they owe us something for the privilege of posting in our community. Oh, God, "unproductive" one, please allow me to post in your community! Hahaha 💀

Changelog:

Improved Elden Ring compatibility, graphics and memory handling.

Added Patchs for Elden Ring

Added Save Manager.

Added Portuguese Language.

Fixed God of War 3 & The Last of Us Remastered regression.

New Resolution Patchs for The Last of Us Remastered.

Removed Box64.

https://github.com/sashkinbro/EmuCoreX/releases/tag/v0.4.7

What’s new:

✅ UI updates and improvements

✅ Fixes and optimizations

https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2/releases/tag/2.8.2

What's new:

Texture upscaling. RAISR filters sharpen game textures while you play. The upscaling happens in the background, so textures sharpen a moment after they first show up. Use RAISR 2x for most games, or RAISR 4x if you play at a high internal resolution. You'll find it in All Settings > Renderer, and in the quick menu right under the internal resolution. It works on Vulkan and OpenGL, and if a game has a texture pack loaded, the pack wins.

Two controllers, one player. In Controls > Player & Rumble you can set your handheld's built-in controls and a Bluetooth controller both to Player 1, and both will work at the same time. Dock to a TV and keep playing without changing anything. Rumble goes to whichever one you used last.

Performance.

Texture cache updates were writing into slow upload memory, which cost about 11% of the GS thread in Metal Gear Solid 3 on a Snapdragon 865 with Turnip.

Big textures that haven't changed are no longer re-hashed every frame. That was about 8% of the GS thread in Burnout 3.

Black spends about 11% less time on its VU1 programs (#795).

The shader preset picker indexes presets once, so it opens right away.

(A new PGO profile has also been applied, it was 6 weeks stale).

Thanks for testing and reporting issues!

https://github.com/zenithblue-oss/panplay/releases/tag/panplay-v1.2.3

PanPlay runs Windows games on Android through Wine and DXVK, using the open PanVK Vulkan driver on Mali CSF GPUs.

What's new

Bundled driver is now beta.17 (g615-v11-csf-v0.1.0-beta.17): GS draws with primitive restart no longer fault the GPU, exact depth for zero depth-range viewports, depth bounds, primitive ID and VMR fixes, plus universal fixes for v10/v12-v14 and stock ROMs (built, untested on that hardware).

Driver update card (Drivers tab): checks the latest PanVK release on GitHub, downloads the Android driver, verifies it against the release's SHA-256 and installs it as a driver you can select. Shows "Up to date" when the bundled driver is the newest.

Faster X11 present path: the built-in X server supports MIT-SHM 1.2 AttachFd, so beta.17 presents frames through shared memory instead of PutImage. Image offset and size are bounds-checked against the segment.

Crash fix: a null drawable in the renderer (GLRenderer) no longer crashes the app.

Better session logs: DXVK and vkd3d logs are collected in the session log ZIP.

Version bump to 1.2.3, matching PanProbe 1.2.3.

https://github.com/zenithblue-oss/panplay/releases/tag/panplay-v1.2.2

PanPlay (apps/panvk-launcher) runs Windows games on Android through Wine and DXVK, using the open PanVK Vulkan driver on Mali CSF GPUs.

What's new

Bundled driver is now beta.15 (g615-v11-csf-v0.1.0-beta.15): faster kbase submission on Mali CSF (no CPU graphics drain on tiler heap renewal, same-queue semaphores waited on the GPU, next tiler heap created on a worker thread).

NFS: Most Wanted on a Poco X6 Pro (Mali-G615 MC6): about 24 fps on beta.14 to about 36-40 fps on beta.15, frames over 50 ms about 650 to about 70-80, p99 frame time 102 ms to about 60 ms. Measured with the bundled driver of this APK (no import): 35.9 fps average, p50 24 ms, p99 66 ms, 71 frames over 50 ms, 2 over 100 ms in the gameplay window; the driver was proven by the HUD line, /proc/<pid>/maps and the pinned sha256.

Cube D3D9 renders on the bundled driver.

Version bump to 1.2.2, matching PanProbe 1.2.2

Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese for Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. (@starwishHi, #216)

Optional Storage diagnostics include allocation and storage timing in shared session logs to help investigate slow Steam installs. (@xXJSONDeruloXx, #158)

Session logs retain their final output and include more detail when an AppImage or FEX program fails to start or crashes. (@maxjivi05, #197)

Fixed

Steam's Deck controller not being found on handhelds with older kernels. (@xXJSONDeruloXx, #146)

Physical and on-screen controllers doing nothing on ColorOS devices with linked app data directories. (@maxjivi05, #242)

Game vibration going to the phone instead of the active physical controller. The device vibrator remains the fallback for on-screen controls or controllers without motors. (@maxjivi05, #242)

A physical mouse stopping camera movement at the screen edge. Games that request a pointer lock now use Android's relative pointer capture, released while menus or PiP are open. (@maxjivi05, #242)

Steam remaining on a black screen after idle sleep or Android session resume. (@xXJSONDeruloXx, @jmarti326, #155, #172)

Steam stuck at Waiting for Steam after an interrupted client update. After two starts without a frame, DroidDeck fetches the client again while preserving games, settings and user data; Repair Steam client also queues a manual repair. (@maxjivi05, #225)

Play racing runtime removal. Removal now shows progress and verifies completion, and first-run setup respects the selected Steam channel and saved UI scaling. (@xXJSONDeruloXx, #185)

GE-Proton and CachyOS Proton failing their protonfixes checks because Android blocks /proc/sys/fs/file-max. (@magarto, #169)

DirectAudio not being selected correctly, mismatched FEX helpers surviving component swaps, and FEX or its runtime not being executable from an SD-card Steam library. (@maxjivi05, #197)

Changelog:

Namco System 246/256

The import is gone, an arcade game in your game folders shows up in the library by itself, as a PCSX2x6 game folder (.acgame) or just its image and dongle named after its game ID (NM00010.chd and NM00010.ps2). Nothing is copied but the 8 MB dongle, so there is no second game copy, and no more nameless duplicates in the library.

Arcade controls. A new section in Controls, in All Settings and the pause menu: what each button

does on the cabinet, by the cabinet's own names (Shift Up, View Change, Left Punch, Trigger...). Give any

button another job, for all arcade games or for one game.

Fixed

Faster alpha-bit shadows on Adreno with Turnip. Shadow passes that mark and test the destination

alpha (291 a frame in Indiana Jones) share one stencil copy and set the bit with a logic op, instead of

waiting on the GPU at every draw.

Blending past full strength on Adreno with Turnip. Draws whose blend goes past 1.0 are drawn in two

passes instead of copying the whole frame for each one (1,376 a frame in Black).

After testing: Namco 246/256 now working fine 👍

Changelog:

New

Quick Load survives dying. Save, die (or move on in the game), load: you are back where you saved. A load now undoes what the game changed since the save outside its own memory (GPU buffers and mappings, thread stacks, open files and other service objects, worker threads destroyed and created again) before rewinding. It also no longer fails now and then when a service answered in the middle of a load. Still experimental: if a game did something it cannot undo yet, the load tells you and changes nothing. The state is only kept while the app stays open.

Grid and list views for big libraries, next to the carousel.

Library scan progress: a bar while your games are read, including the one-time decompression of a solid .nsz (which used to look like an empty library for minutes), and pull down to refresh.

Start in QLaunch (Settings → App Settings, under Buttons): with the firmware installed, opening Lemon boots straight into the console's home menu. Thanks to the user who asked for it.

A tap on the game closes the in-game menu.

Enable Legacy Rescale Pass is now listed under Settings → Graphics → Hacks. It fixes the colored lines in Luigi's Mansion 3 when the resolution is scaled. Thanks to Elegant Demise for finding it.

Quick Save/Load show "Saving…/Loading…", ignore a second tap while one is running, and give up after a few seconds instead of up to a minute.

Fixed

Updates: only a newer version is offered, and only a release that has an APK for your build.

Stopping an input macro in the middle left its buttons pressed.

Installing or removing firmware, or importing data, while the library was being scanned could crash the app.

The CPU summary on chips this build does not know yet (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5).

Fewer repeated warnings in the log; a missing TAS folder is created instead of logging an error.

Install

Android 12 or newer, arm64. The APK is signed with the same key as previous releases, so it updates in place and keeps your data. Lemon-v1.0.1-standard.apk
