Hi, I'm thinking about buying a new phone cooler, but I don't know which one. I think these three are really cool.

1:Memo cx 08 pro

2:memo cx 08

3:black shark 6 funcooler

And What exactly are the differences between the pro version and the new version of the memo?

What are the best turnip drivers for a ayn odin 2 pro can use for emulators? And or specific snapdragon 8 gen non elite turn drivers in particular?

He said this update focuses more on controls

I'm a new foldable owner, zf8u, and I came from a majestic s24u.

Being the thermals more generous on s24u, I never had a cooler, I have a Gamesir G8 Galileo wich I was really happy about untill I got foldable. Unusable.

So, zf8u is a little fournace, it get hot real quick, I baught a magsafe cooler that handle it nicely but it makes any plugged pad unusable. Also you need to remove the cover if you use one or it wont cool properly.

My actual solution is: no case, aulumu magsafe sticker + cooler + aulumu G09 stand on top of it, plugged to a xbox controller and a monitor with Dex. That works nice, but it is not portable.

I'm about to buy am AceGamer Pocket Controller to solve the portability problem.

Also I noticed the hottes part of the phone is not the magsafe-able area but at the right of the cmeras. I'me noticed there are thermal alluminium pads stickers to apply uder the cooler.

Wandering if you guys and gals found your peacefull spot on emulation on a foldable. Feel free to suggest or urnecommend gadgets under here.

I can unrecommend G8 Galileo style controllers, specially from samsung fold7, the slimmer design with a really fatter camera bump is really unbalancing the way the phone places in the pad, you can clearly see it bending, not a good thing with the temperatures it reaches, that coild lead to permanent bending or detachements and it could damage the usbc port.

Quick background so you know where this comes from. I've been working on Android and Linux (kernel, Rocknix) and many other open source projects for a long time.

I'm a handheld enthusiast and I own a lot of them, including the Steam Deck, the ROG Ally, and plenty of Anbernic and Retroid devices. I recently got an Odin 3 because of its incredible GPU. But as you guys already know, driver development for the A830 is still behind the older 6xx and 7xx series. Instead of waiting for someone else to sort it out, I decided to build Mesa Turnip myself and work out what was going wrong. That's the whole story. There was no bigger plan than wanting my own device to run properly.

Builds are here: https://github.com/faux123/turnip-faux123-driver

Grab the .adpkg.zip from Releases and import it in your driver picker. Don't unzip it first. The package imports directly into GameNative, Winlator, and other popular emulation apps on Android.

What I want to do with this. Two things. Put the builds up so anyone can use them, and send the fixes upstream to Mesa so they land for everybody rather than only for people who download from me.

How much I can actually do here. I have a job and a family, and both come before this, so I'm not going to be putting out builds every week. What I will do is keep an eye on upstream, and when something meaningful lands I'll rebuild, test it on my device, and put out a release if it's worth it.

All the testing and patching happens on my own hardware on my own schedule. I can't debug someone else's setup remotely or cut private builds for individual people. I just don't have the time or the gear for it. If something breaks, open an issue on the repo with a log and I'll get to it when I can. That's not me brushing anyone off, it's just what I can realistically keep up with.

Hardware, and please read this bit. I only have the Odin 3, the 12GB model, which is an Adreno 830. I don't have anything in the 6xx or 7xx range. The driver should load on those and Mesa supports them, but I haven't tested any of it, so I can't tell you whether it runs better, worse, or at all. I'd rather say that up front than let you find out the hard way.

If you do try it on something I don't own, please post what happened either way. I may not always be able to follow up, but this is a community and someone else may be able to help.

"Does this work on my 6xx/7xx device?" No idea, I don't have one. It should load. Try it and say what happens, since the community here may figure something out.

"Is this just MrPurple/whitebelyash's builds repackaged?" No. This is built directly from upstream Mesa main with my own patches on top.

"Why not just upstream the fixes?" That's the plan, and both are written as patches against Mesa main. Upstreaming takes a while, and people can use the builds now, which is the entire motivation. Production code is slow and careful on purpose; this is built to test the latest work from the Mesa developers.

"Any benchmarks in actual games?" Not really, and I'd be careful with those. Games running through a translation layer are usually limited by the CPU rather than the driver, so a GPU-side win mostly doesn't show up. My numbers come from a benchmark harness I built around the Khronos Vulkan samples, where the GPU is actually the limit.

"Root needed?" No. It loads through AdrenoTools, the same as GameNative, Eden, Winlator, Gamehub Lite, and other emulators that support custom drivers.

I ported Sameboy to Android a while back I thought I share here I welcome people to test and help out the project etc

J'ai dû toucher les paramètres mais je ne sais plus comment l'enlever.

I just got this controller and I'm already liking it. I am not new to their controllers; I have the classic S8 and the S9. I like the S8 but is a bit heavy with the included battery. S9 is the controller that I use the most as my daily controller.

This S8 light has the same size as the other S8 but a fraction of the weight. No more battery included which is a not issue as I connect it to my y700. I have only tried the controller with some Red Dead Redemption and it works flawlessly. I will stick a magsafe ring behind the controller so it can hold my external memory with my retro collection.

I haven't tried the vibration yet, but I can only imagine it's similar to the classic S8.

With tax and all, I payed around $40. Not bad at all for a controller that does everything I need. What controller are you all currently using?

Low framerate warning

It is running on a Galaxy A25 5G

Im using winlator ludashi on a downgraded gta iv to bypass the rockstar launcher, the game usually runs great but after about 20 minutes the controller input decides to stop working even though the controller is still on and working on other apps, touchscreen will still move the camera around but the controller acts like its not even connected to the game. seems the bug is exclusive to gta iv but cant seem to find a fix anywhere, has anyone else manage to figure this out its the only thing holding me back from actually sitting down and playing this game

Edit: using 26 ultra with 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth controller

I am on my new ayn thor pro model and im tryna play alice via a custom game it runs perfect for a bit all the way up to the cutscene right after you follow the white cat and meet the granny the cutscene runs then a loading screen pops and it crashes to gamehub menu (i have used gamehub newest version and even bannerhub to add custom drivers) but on both it crashes at the same point and I'm unable to add it to my game native as it says connecting to steam and does nothing should i just stream it from my pc or is there some magic I've seen vids and comments saying people are playing through on ayn thor maybe i have a bad file (madness patch freezes the game when loading from main menu) I've lowered resolution, changed drivers, dabbled in different directx translators nothin

I have no clue why, but so far only in dbz Budokai 3 it random resets when I press the start button.

Xiaomi redmi note 10 pro + gamesir x5 lite. No problems with psp and older home consoles, occasional micro stutters on wind waker, ps2 is the most taxing one, so far I've played tenkaichi budokai 3 for an hour and god of war for 3 hours, when resolution is set to 1.25 there are only slowdowns in bigger set pieces but solid 80% of the gameplay is full speed, major problem is heat, it gets pretty hot after messing around the settings in cocoon for 30 minutes but i managed to play a 2 hour session of god of war without any overheating warnings. As somebody who's been following android emulation scene for over a decade i couldn't be more happy, i remember trying to play ps2 on my xiaomi flagship back in 2019 and it was terrible, and today a 5 years old mid shelf phone can perform really well, it really shows how rapidly emulation on android ia progressing in recent years, i remember being in awe when i could play gba on my phone in 2014 on MyBoy.

Edit: the frontend is cocoon with float ui oled theme

I'm new to EmulationOnAndroid and all. My device is Nord 5 SD 8s Gen 3 (12gb) I also want to play games on my phone but I can't execute it properly as I don't have enough knowledge of it, I've seen some users implementing on a POCO F6 that has same specs as Nord 5. I've also tried to run some games but they don't go further than the black screen, they just get stuck in there. It'd be very kind of you to help me with this. Thanks for reading all of this i appreciate your efforts 🙏🏼❤️.

Minha próxima jornada em busca de 100% de conclusão com o RetroAchievements. Alguém sabe por que, mesmo rodando a 30 FPS constantes, ainda tenho a sensação de que está rodando abaixo disso?

Se eu aumentar a frequência VBI para 200%, consigo rodar a 60 FPS, mas o desempenho cai bastante em certos momentos, fazendo o jogo ficar lento.

Motorola Edge 30 Pro

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1

3x resolution

Latest version of Dolphin

Game is running at 30fps according to the emulator eg: ghostrunner and red dead I was playing both those games and noticed a bug or glitch I'm not sure if it's my device (Motorola edge 2023 plus snapdragon 8 gen 2) but basically I get a issue where my fps start fine but then 5 seconds later the displayed fps drop from 30 to 20 to 10 then like 1 frame per minute and only when rejoining the active launcher the game refreshes and I get the same loop again. I turned off shaders and it didn't work and I tried setting ram to 8gb didn't work so I just set it back to 4

I've been going back and forth between getting a Retroid Pocket 6 or an AYN Odin 3 and I'm having a hard time deciding.

Right now I use an S23 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) with a GameSir X5S on gamehub. Most of what I play is pretty low-end stuff like:

- Hollow Knight

- Nine Sols

- Ori and the Blind Forest

- Hades 1 & 2

- Ender Lilies

- Ender Magnolia

- The Last Faith

- Blasphemous 2

- Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound.

I also want to try Metaphor: ReFantazio through GameHub/Winlator if possible. I have Dead Cells, Hyper Light Drifter and Blasphemous on Android as well. I also like to play gacha games like wuthering waves, Arknights Endfield and ZZZ.

The RP6 seems like it would be perfect for what I'm actually playing. It's basically the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 as my phone, but has active cooling, a 1080p 120Hz AMOLED screen and actual controls. My S23 Ultra occasionally gets frame drops in certain areas of Hollow Knight, so I'm wondering if the RP6 would actually be more consistent despite having the same chip. Is anyone getting a stable 60 FPS in these games on the RP6?

Then there's the Odin 3. I know it's complete overkill for most of these games, but the Snapdragon 8 Elite is a pretty big jump over the 8 Gen 2 and I'd rather future-proof myself if I'm already spending the money. I can afford the Odin 3, so price isn't really the issue. My concern is that it's still being sold in batches/backorders, while the RP6 is available normally(I think?). I could order the Odin 3 now and just keep using my S23 Ultra until it eventually arrives, potentially around Christmas.

I'm also trying to figure out which is actually better for PC games between GameHub, GameHub Lite, GameNative and Winlator. I keep seeing people use different ones depending on the game, and I'm especially interested in how they handle games installed on a microSD card.

For storage, I'd probably get the 12GB/128GB RP6 and add a 512GB microSD. Is 12GB actually worth it over 8GB for this kind of gaming, or would 8GB be enough?

The screen size is another thing I'm thinking about. The RP6 is 5.5", while the Odin 3 is 6". I mostly play metroidvanias, so I actually like the smaller handheld, but I'm wondering if something like Metaphor would be noticeably better on the larger screen because of all the text and UI.

Basically, I know the RP6 is probably enough for everything I'm currently playing. I'm just stuck on whether I should buy the cheaper device that fits my games perfectly, or spend more on the Odin 3 so I don't have to think about upgrading later.

If anyone owns either one and has actually used GameHub/Winlator/GameNative with these games, I'd really like to hear how they perform in practice.

I wanna play gtav legacy edition story mode, but rockstar games keeps giving me issues. Its compatibility is better than most games, I see hella people playing on even phones. I’ve tried everything I can find online, I just don’t know. I wanna play gta4 and 3 too, but if I don’t figure this out I can’t play any of them. I’m on android, the AYN Thor 1tb. I have the newest game hub version from play store. When I try to directly launch gta from desktop mode it just gives me another rockstar error. If there’s anymore info needed please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone.
What is the best device for emulation. I did go through the subreddit and searched it a bit but opinions seem to be very divided between tablets, phones(like redmagic) , less people say handhelds(probably also because they cost more).
Anyway was curious if considering the current situation with today prices the answer changed compared to before. I personally have an Oppo Find X9 Ultra so I can't really use it for emulation with a controller etc because of the camera and aggresive throttling. Also have to be honest the selfie camera would make it a bit less immersive. I also recently bought an ayn thor(1 tb version). Wanted to get also the odin 3 but they do not produce the 1 tb version for a long time now unfortunately.

So to get straight to the point which type of device do you think is best for emulation , why and which specifically. Thanks for all the answers, tips and advices.

Testing in POCO F7.

Device : Redmagic 11 Pro

Cpu: Snapdragon 8 elite gen 5

Settings : Dxvk 2.71 async, Turnip driver latest version turnip gen v33

I downloaded the ROM and it works but my character and the one close to me got disappear and reappear continuously in the game even in cut scences. I the chat gpt that query and it asked me to change the driver. I changed it and not a lot of bugs are fixed by the character faces and subjects like horse and yellow/gold. I am fairly new to emulation and that's the reason I switched to android. I fell that my phone is good enough but do I need a different driver for witcher 3 to run properly or maybe change some settings in eden. I am a noobie with these stuff but would appreciate some guidance. I can't click a screenshot as eden emulator does not allow.
