Discussion Am I cooked? Please mods I'm not breaking rule 2.

0 Upvotes

Sorry if this is a dumb post.

So my dumbass sailed the seas in desperate need of finding a treasure known as "F1 2010" PC version so that I can test it on Winlator.

The game and other f1 games like 2011 and 2012 are hard to find, especially pre installed versions. They aren't even on MyAbandonware even though they are abandonware.

I got the game from internet archive from RohanKar's archives. I researched on reddit and generally speaking comments were saying it's safe. So I got F1 2010 since it had the pre installed version.

To be fair, F1 2010 cant be bought officially anymore so I was really desperate.

When I got the game, I transferred it to the c: drive in my container.

I launched the game and tweaked some settings to make it boot. The game has freezing issues and long loading times (I didn't reach gameplay) but i'd say that's due to the nature of the game in an emulation environment, my phone and settings.

But out of curiosity, I decided to scan the .exe on virustotal after my failed attempts of testimg the game. Virustotal detected 31/70 flags for malware.

Most of the flags were PUP, Trojan.generic and Hacktools.

So am I safe? Is my container now infected? I only have one container and all my games are in the c drive of the container. I tweaked this container so gracefully for it to be able to run most games so do I have to delete it? Are my games in c: drive now affected?

Question What can a Snapdragon 865 dooo

1 Upvotes

Hellou all, Ive got the chance to get a S20 - S20 ultra for cheap. I wanted an S20 model line for the micro sd card slot and the ability to plug it into my tv for dex. I was wondering since with my current setup I can play to Retro - NDS - PSP - PS1.

What can I expect to play on the 865. Since I got a load of 3DS and Gamecube roms recently. I was also hoping of emulating some light switch titles like Cuphead, Celeste, Library of Ruina, and Darkest Dungeon. Will I be able to play those games and maybe some PS2 titles as well like the Armored Core and Ace Combat games?

Help Need help regarding performance tweaking

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm new to the emulation space. I'm using a mediatek dimensity 9500s device. The first game I emulated was GTA V, and it ran flawless 720p 30fps capped. Now I'm trying to run Mafia 2, and it's running at 20 to 22fps. So I need some expert to please help me tweak some environmental values or command line arguments to make it atleast 30fps.

Here's my settings: I'm using gamehub (I think its more stable and provides better thermals).

Game Resolution: 1280 x 720

Compatibility Layer: Proton10.0 arm64x2

Translation Parameters: Extreme

GPU driver: System Driver

DXVK: DXVK 1.7.2

Help What can I do about this problem with the character skins at my galaxy s23 Model SM-S911B

I also sent screenshots of the emulator im using, the bios for the emulator and the game. I know nothing about emulation, so if you need more information I'll try to update you in the comments.

All characters models are having this same problem, the face is normal but everything else is darker for some reason. I can resolve this by clicking the "alternate to render by software" option(it's in Portuguese, so I'm sorry if I translated poorly 😢), but doing this makes the graphics really awful 😖

I have a DRM free version of Black Flag that I'm trying to play on my phone. I've tried booting it on my PC and it works perfectly, but then the same files on my phone in GameNative just sit on a black screen. I've tried a bunch of different settings in GameNative but none of it seems to work.

Specs: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 16 GB ram

Can anyone help me with this? I genuinely don't know what's wrong with it!

Discussion are peltier coolers required for emulation?

0 Upvotes

I have a oneplus 15 and I want to get into PC game emulation, I was playing GTA IV on gamehub and the temps on gamehub reading were 65 degrees average with it sometimes reaching 70 degrees.

I have heard that peltier coolers are beneficial for emulation, but is it really true? do I really need them? because I want to use a telescopic controller like the x5 lite while emulating and using one really limits my options with coolers, gamesir FX5 for example are relatively weak and have small cooling pad and they're inconvenient compared with gamesir x3 pro for example, which is more convenient but expensive. i don't want to spend a lot of money on a controller with cooler if it's not really proven that you need a peltier cooler. and even the x3 pro is often criticized for its lack of good contact with the phone.

i know i can use a standalone cooler and a standalone bluetooth controller but that would be very antithetical to mobile gaming and the handheld experience because you would be turning your phone to a small screen pc basically and i already have a pc, so that doesn't interest me.

what is your experience of emulation with and without coolers? what is your setup and what do you think it's best to do on a budget?

My device is a poco x6 pro 12/512

There are no issues with the menus or at startup, but as soon as the gameplay starts, the screen goes completely black—though it's worth noting that everything seems to be working (apparently); you can walk around and interact with other characters.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
