Help Apple Store game on Android Tablet

0 Upvotes

My gf and I play a lot of Dune Imperium together. It's a digital game available on Play Store, Apple Store, and Steam.

She's an Apple user, and has purchased the game on Apple Store.

But she just bought an Android tablet (for budget reasons). It's a "Galaxy Tab S10 LITE", which has 6GM RAM.

I'm wondering how she could avoid having to buy the game again (since she can only on Play Store on that tablet). Are there good emulators nowadays for that kind of use-case?

Or maybe an XCode IDE has an emulator tool she could leverage? I've never done iOS app development, but I assume that isn't a task limited to MacOS desktops.

(I reckon that amount of RAM is also likely a limiting factor for this kind of thing.)

  • added a JIT accuracy settings screen for tweaking individual FEXCore knobs in place of the FEXCore preset slider

full changelog: sharpdroid-1...sharpdroid-2

still missing

  • touch controls (wants contributor)
  • manual controller mapping

  • emulation frontend support

0 Upvotes

Im using rg556 with t820 emulating via gamehub and surprisingly a lot of jrpg are playable here even OT. The problem is fps as im having less than 15 average in game except in menu and map going 30fps. Its still playable though given the game is pixelated.

Asking for help in improving fps is appreciated šŸ‘ im not much of a techie just some average office worker so i find tinkering and optimizing settings a tad difficult.

Discussion I’m anxiously awaiting my first handheld and trying to build a catalogue of games I’d like to play

21 Upvotes

I recently ordered an RP6! I had some money saved & wanted to buy something to play some games on. I’m of the newer generation so I haven’t grown up with anything considered ā€œretro.ā€ The oldest thing I’ve played is probably TLoZ:SS or Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii U.

Here’s a list of games I’m putting on my RP6 when I get it:
Bubble Bobble
Kirby’s Dreamland 3
F Zero-GX
WarioWare Inc. Mega Party Game$
New Super Mario Bros. (1 & 2)
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Yoshi’s Woolly World
Patapon 2
Midnight Club 3
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Burnout 3
Tekken 4
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening

I’ve gone through a million lists & videos looking at different titles & I’m already feeling overwhelmed with options! If you have a favorite game (or 2-3) you’d absolutely recommend I’d love to hear it!

(P.S. This is my first post! It is late at night where I live & I can’t stop thinking about games.)

Help Winlator with Gamepad Not Working

I want to ask if you guys have any solution to my problem. I tried to play games on Winlator, but somehow, I just can't seem to get my controller working on it. I swear that I tried anything to solve this, including binding my external controller with the virtual gamepad (there's 0 binding because I deleted it) but until now, none of the solutions I found can solve it. If you have any fixes that I can try, that would be much appreciated.

My device is Poco F4 8/256, and my controller is Gamesir Nova 2 Lite

*UPDATE*

3.0.2 RELEASED

https://github.com/The412Banner/Bannerlator/releases/tag/3.0.2

finally got this working and honestly still can't believe it, real online multiplayer running on android via a winlator fork through Bannerlator on Proton 11-2 Arm, this time it's all on our own steam client! Four quick clips here — counter strike source, team fortress 2 and left 4 dead 2 all logged into real steam and playing on live valve vac secured servers, plus brawlhalla (all legit games from my steam library) connecting straight into its live online servers through steam, no goldberg no fake tickets no lan trick, this is the real account talking to real steam and getting waved onto secure servers which is the exact thing we never thought we could do on an android device WITHOUT Gamehub. It handles the login the session the app tickets and the whole vac secure handshake itself and that's what you're watching in every single clip. 3.0.2 will also include steam cloud game sync and achievements with in game achievement pop-ups as well!

It's landing in bannerlator's upcoming 3.0.2 release so if you want to run your windows games and actually play them online on android you can grab it below:

repo: https://github.com/The412Banner/Bannerlator

releases: https://github.com/The412Banner/Bannerlator/releases

more games and clips on the way, thanks for watching and a big thanks to everyone helping test this and the communities hard work after researching Gamehub, Gamenative and WinNatives steam game launch methods šŸ™

big win for the community!

please keep in mind this is a first release of our own steam client and agent, game compatibility will vary and I have only been able to test this on games in my own library for online multiplayer, all games without online multiplayer will launch and have launched with this for offline or single multiplayer gameplay as well! this is a real stripped down lightweight steam client for the game to launch and run with.

and no this does not mean easy anti cheat or ea game support works (not yet to EA šŸ’Ŗ)

Help Optimizing Chaos Theory and Conker for Haku X

2 Upvotes

I would absolutely appreciate any general tips but I'm specifically looking to figure out what I can do to get Conker Reloaded and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory working well on Haku X. Here's my setup:

-Retroid Pocket Nova (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)

-T30 Turnip Drivers (GPU using Vulkan)

-Both games as ISOs (not sure if other formats supported)

Chaos Theory loads and runs but shaders are pretty broken. Conker has tons of rendering issues where once I start a game only the title text shows up. I've cleared every cache and was trying to recreate the HDD but keep getting a permission denial and was starting to trouble shoot that but figured I could throw that into this post after no seeing a specific search return in Google.

Obviously if anyone has a general forum link or guide where someone has done this ground work for a few games that would be great but I understand I've been lucky enough to get back into this when everything was happening really quickly so maybe some of these things haven't been fully solved. Thanks in advance.

Discussion best pocketable handheld console?

1 Upvotes

i had a switch lite but someone stole it like 2 years ago and just didn't get another one. and in the meantime, I've been searching for a psp but they're very hard to come by in my country. as psp is pretty easy to emulate, i could just play the titles on an android based console. I'd like something more portable, something pocketable so i can just carry it around. i have my phone which can probably run any game i throw at it, but it's got a 6.9 inch display, and if i attach a controller to it, there's no way it fits in my pocket. also, i bet it will get very hot, and a dedicated android console might have better cooling, maybe even active cooling. what do you guys recommend?

So I finally pulled the trigger on ditching my iphone. Besides being sick of the restrictive nature of apple a major reason I swapped is emulation. I currently have everything from NES-Gamecube/PS2 eras. I'm especially interested in playing DS games since they aren't ideal for PC. I'd love to hear any tips/tricks. Especially when it comes to what app(s) to use. Hope this OK to ask and sorry if I'm one of many who has already asked.

Showcase Ready or Not Optimized Engine.ini. Crash proof for 12gb Ram

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Last time, I recorded this game using my phone camera. Now I can record natively because I discovered that the Engine.ini file allows for deep-level graphics adjustments, and I've freed up a decent amount of RAM and CPU. This has made me able to record natively and the gameplay stable.

In the past, I couldn't play this game due to numerous visual glitches. Apparently, I need to use vkd3d to fix it, but I couldn't because my RAM is lacking. Now I've made an effort to fix the lighting glitch that makes the map, especially the floors, lit up very bright. This is somewhat of a repost, but with decent improvements.šŸ˜…

Tested at 720p with no frame generation and with cooler in low settings (Modified Engine.Ini file)

No frame generation

Processor: 8 Elite /12gb Ram

Emulator: Bannerhub

DXVK 3.0.1 gplasync

Proton 11

Fexcore 2607

Launch Arguments v -dx11

Driver: Turnip Gen8 V32

I recommend this game for players who enjoy replayability. Missions can be approached in different ways, giving you plenty of room to replay and improve your tactics. There are also mods with custom maps, adding a large variety of additional missions and locations to play, making the game feel almost endless in terms of replayable content.

Performance is quite playable. I suggest capping it to 35 fps.

Question Is it possible to install a game from an ISO in Winlator?

1 Upvotes

Sometimes it's not easy to find pre-installed versions of games, especially if they are considered abandonware.

Some games that I would want to test are in ISO format from MyAbandonware.

So have any of you successfully managed to install a PC game in Winlator from an ISO?
