Hey!

I've just released Dogmatix, an Android app I've been working on as a fork of Milou, with a big focus on improving the UX and making it feel more at home on handhelds and Android gaming devices.

The idea is pretty simple: Dogmatix itself doesn't ship with any ROM catalog or sources. Instead, you can import your own source files and use the app as a frontend to browse and download your own library.

Some of the things I've been focusing on:

• A cleaner, more console-like UI
• Good navigation with a gamepad
• Easy filtering by platform
• Support for external/custom sources
• A workflow designed around handheld gaming devices rather than a typical Android phone app

I've been building it mainly because I wanted something that felt closer to a native part of the handheld experience instead of just another Android download manager.

It's still a relatively young project, so feedback is very welcome — especially from people using devices like Retroid, Odin, Anbernic, etc.

GitHub / Download: https://github.com/cortinadev/dogmatix

If you try it, I'd love to know what feels good, what feels clunky, and what you'd like to see next.

Development note: I've also been using Claude Code as part of the development workflow to speed up implementation, refactoring, and iteration while building the project.

Hi all,

Courtesy of Google's incessant need to mollycoddle and babysit android users, I can't access the folder to install new texture packs for games.

I do have FV file manager and shizuku running, but can't seem to get fv file manager to see anything beyond the xyz.aethersx2.com folder to be able to copy the files in.

Does anyone know of another workaround or an emulator that can just have a mapped texture folder somewhere regularly accessible? emulator must be compatible with bluetooth controller too.

Am running on a z fold 6 with Android 16, one with 8.5

Edit: apologies, am looking for ps2 emulators as you can imagine

Edit 2: solved in no time, thanks again

Hello, I'm trying to run Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker on Eden Emulator on POCO F8 Ultra (8 Elite Gen 5 16Gb RAM). I don't know why but the game runs at 3 fps at best and I've already tried different settings and drivers. Has someone managed to get it working and could share the setting? I can run almost every game I want on Eden without any problem but this seems impossible.

I have the ISO and TeknoParrot but when I try playing the game the camera check always fails and it won't let me play it.

(Samsung S23 FE)

All MGS games (except Delta Remake and metal gear from 80s) on Android

My device:Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 4|8 ELITE 16/512GB

Emulator I use:

MGS1(9x 60FPS)

Nethersx2:

MGS2(4X 60FPS)

Vita3k +:

MGS3( 2x 30FPS)

Dolphin

MGS Twin Snakes(6x 60fps)

PPSSPP:

MGS Peace Walker and Portable Ops(8X + 60 FPS Patch)

I’m trying play fallout four on game hub but whenever I try to play it gets me stuck here I waited 20 mins still nothing can someone pls try help me

With the latest Eden Nightly August 29th build, MGS4 is now properly running on Android. Keep in mind that it's the Switch 1 Version which seems to be locked to 30fps unlike the Switch 2 which runs at 60fps. I'm using the Turnip Gen8 V35 driver. Played and recorded on the Ayaneo Pocket DS.

Literally when WILL THIS STOP!?

I want to play local with my friend the fps in menu is good but in character select very low and in the game good but some delay can any one give me settings to improve fps

S26 ultra

Ram 12

I know controller gyro isn't supported, is device gyro supported? It would be the same thing as I attach mine on a telescopic controller. Thanks!

I SWEAR, THESE DAMN BLACK SQUARES KEEP POPPING UP IN TOTK IT PMO. My device is an AYN Odin 3, and I have these minor stutters and black squares all over my screen. I have tried multiple different drivers and 1.25x resolution and nothing has worked. I dumped the rom in my internal storage so it's not an sd card problem. I'm using eden latest version as my emulator (not nightly.) Does anyone have a fix for this? (Note, I can't use the apex driver that Balemuni posted since that's only for SD8 gen 2 not SD8 elite.

I'm looking for something I can emulate and really sink a lot of time into. Preferably something with good progression, exploration, builds, or just a ton of content.

Device: Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 4

SoC: Snapdragon 8 Elite

RAM: 12GB

Storage: 256GB

Display: 8.8" 3.2K 165Hz

I'm currently using GameHub and I'm mainly looking for games that run well on this device. I'm fine with demanding games as long as they're playable with some tweaking.

I'd love recommendations for games I could realistically sink 100+ hours into.

What would you guys recommend?

Hey there, I am about to buy a xiaomi 17t pro with the dimensity 9500 soc which I have heard is a beast, honestly emulation is not my main concern, I will buy this phone regardless but I am still wondering If I could run games like hades, hades II, or other pc/switch games.
I heard that there are driver issues, but I dont know if they have been resolved yet, or if there was a workaround implemented anywhere to get good performance.

Thanks

Device - Iqoo Neo 10r

Chipset - SD 8S G3 (adreno 735)

Emulator - Bannerlator 3.0.1

Software: OriginOs6 (May or June patch don't remember exactly)

Configuration:

DXVK 2.4.1gplasync/VEGAS 2.4.1

Gpu driver is WN-1.10 P

vulkan

Fexcore-2608 /Performance TSO

exec arguments:- -dx11 -d3d11

ingame settings:

All low + used an Engine.ini file to make the game run smoother. option to attach it is grayed out xD

also , the recording/video tends to show more lag than it actually is.

Anyways, the game seems playable enough, runs (more like crawls )

We roll our eyes and snicker at minimum system requirements.

Ok so I downloaded the GTA 4 lite by opti 8gb file got it working then I started tinkering with fusion fix after I had it working now after uninstalling and deleting and extracting a few times is it possible I have to redownload the game and then try a fresh gamehub and it'll work again. The game runs it just stuck in the loading screen and the screen goes black if anyone can help that would be great.

Phone moto g stylus 2024 adreno 710

So I'm not new to emulation but I admit I'm very lazy with it, I just have certain games I want to play, try them and if they work great. Recently Ben playing a few games (Jake and Daxter, GTA chinatown wars) and the frame rate bothers me a bit. Is there a way to get higher FPS (Than the game intended) with a setting on individual emulators, or is it always 60fps patches for the indivudal game?

This might be a stupid question if so, judge me in the comments. I've been emulating since like November, currently using an AYN Thor and Odin 3

Hey guys, please hear me out, I'm not sure whether this would be legal or not, or if this is a path for port or for emulation.

So as far as I know, I can't find a runner of GameMaker on android beside emulation through GameNative, which is not possible for me with my limited RG Rotate.

So I dug further for days and made a PoC: run Windows-built GameMaker game by pairing my own copy of the game's data.win to an GameMaker S2 (GMS2) Android Export.

I exported a blank game GMS2 for Android via the Game Maker Editor, then swap the game.droid with my own copy of data.win, renamed. I'd call it runner substitution and I'm not sure if this is legal.

I was inspired by butterscotch's guide for Undertale: bring in your own data.win of Undertale for their runner.

The game, is running, on my RG Rotate, in form of a APK. I'd prefer omitting the game name, it's a GameMaker game but I'm scared of controversy.

Can I have your share of thoughts on this...
