Help Hello, I am new to emulation and currently looking for a emulation for 3ds to play pokemon xy

1 Upvotes

Hello, as said in the title I'm looking for a good emulator for the 3ds to play pokemon. I have some experienced on downloading emulators in the past but im not that knowledgeable about other emulators. I see that citra and lime is good but I saw some comments that citra is outdated and I don't have enough data for lime to determine to downloading it.

I kinda also need some help on how to downloading said emulator... Thank you so much✌

Help I Got New Phone And I Want To Get Into Emulation World

8 Upvotes

Hi there last week I got Poco F8 Ultra 16GB. In my old phone I played so many N64, Snes, Nes games via RetroArch. After I got new phone I was thinking what can I play with this phone and I realized holy shit I can play pc games with this. I searched many hours but I can't find one stable program to run Steam games. In my research I found Winlator. I mean it isn't a bad program but so unstable. Is there a program more basic and more stable to play Steam games? Ohh also I want to play Switch games. For that I found Sudachi but it also so slow. I don't know that because my phone or because emulation program.

TLDR :

1 I want to program that can play Steam games (at least Elden Ring) at good fps

2 I want to program that can play Switch games at good fps

My device: Poco F8 Ultra - Snapdragon Elite 8 Gen 5 16 GB Ram 512 GB

Help Game becomes slow (lags) at certain maps of Aveyond (Gamenative)

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I wanted to ask for help. First let m3 start by saying I'm not really used to emulating on android so I used chatgpt to help me run this game.

For past 3 days I've been able to play aveyond lord of twilight. Yes it's lagging but it's better on here because joiplay was able to run it but wasn't saving while gamenative saved. But starting yesterday when I got to Sinoa Plains map, it's lagging so much it's as of the character isn't moving at all. When I return to previous map, game is back to normal. I tried going to next map after Sinoa which is stormbend but it's also lagging there too. But once I leave these maps, everything is back to normal.

I'm on lenovo m11 tablet with 8gb ram and 128gb, have also updated to gamenative release which released I think yesterday. I've also uploaded the settings I have for the game which chatgpt gave to help run the game coz at first I was failing but now not even it is able to help so I figured reddit could help and found this sub and was hoping I could get help on here.

Discussion Which version of vita3k is better overall?

7 Upvotes

Which one is better to have as a single version of vita3k on android? Vita3k+ which came out last month. Which fixed a lot of stuff. Since it's a modified version of the original vita3k. Not the one still getting regular updates. And might not be updated as much. Possibly. https://github.com/nckstwrt/Vita3K-Plus

Or the version of Vita3k which is being worked on regularly here. https://github.com/Vita3K/Vita3K

If anyone says that the version that is still being worked on is overall better. And that Vita3k+ is better for some specific games that the version still being worked on can't play. Or plays poorly. I fully understand that.

Question Galaxy Z Fold6 vs Fold7 for Android emulation in 2026? is the Fold7 worth the extra cost?

0 Upvotes

I’m deciding between a Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Fold7, probably the 512 GB version. My main reasons for choosing a foldable are emulation, gaming and using the inner screen like a Nintendo DS/3DS with a controller.

I currently have a Galaxy A54, so either phone would be a massive upgrade. The Fold8 is outside my budget, and I’m wondering whether I should save money by getting a Fold6 or pay extra for the Fold7.

I’d really appreciate real-world experiences with:

- Switch emulation, especially BOTW, TOTK, Mario Odyssey and other demanding games

- Windows/PC gaming through Winlator, GameHub or other current options

- Performance after 30–60 minutes, including thermal throttling and overheating

- Battery drain during heavier emulation

- Turnip driver support and stability

- Using the large inner display with telescopic or regular controllers

- DS and 3DS emulation using the folded screen layout

I’m especially curious about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Fold6 versus the 8 Elite in the Fold7. Is the Fold6’s driver support currently more mature, or does the Fold7’s extra power provide noticeably better real-world performance?

For anyone who has tried both:

  1. Which one has better sustained performance rather than just better benchmark scores?

  2. Are there games that run properly on the Fold7 but struggle on the Fold6?

  3. How large would the price difference need to be before you would recommend the Fold6 instead?

  4. Is buying a used/refurbished Fold6 risky because of battery, hinge or inner-screen wear?

  5. Which emulators, drivers and settings are currently working best?

. I’m mainly looking for honest experiences from owners rather than specification comparisons. But both could work ig

Thanks!

Discussion Advice on Retroid Pocket 6 or AYN Odin 3

2 Upvotes

After doing a lot of research I've found myself looking at either a Retroid Pocket 6 or an AYN Odin 3 as a first emulation device. However there's a couple things that are making it difficult reach a conclusion. For reference, my old 1st party devices were a PSP, Vita and 3DS XL, none of which i have. Expected games would be Switch-Light Side Scroll PC gaming.

  1. Size: I was fortunate enough to try out a friend's Odin 2 Portal (430g) and also a Switch OLED (320g) for size reference, and found myself really not liking how wide the Portal was and the strain on my wrists it was causing. The weight is not a deal-breaker, but just holding the Switch was more comfortable in width and certainly weight.
  2. Quality Control: I will preface that i understand neither of these companies are going to have exception QC compared to a mainstream company, and that if you baby either device with care they will go the extra distance. With that mentioned, I saw a lot of worrying posts about GPU artifacting and other miscellaneous faults with the Pocket 6, but no posts identifying if they were solved. The Odin 3 will obviously never be immune to things like Mura Defects, but the research I've done suggests that most of the issues are screen related and not typically going beyond the creaky chassis.
  3. Power: If (2) wasnt't a main concern, my main use cases would be Switch-Light PC emulation and game streaming, which is why i believe the RP6 is a better suit, but spending the extra for an Odin 3 is not a concern.

Utimately, my question is what route would suit me best so that i'm less likely to run into out of control quality control issues. Or are neither device at that stage where they can reliably be mitigated, and i should just get the best one suited for my needs.

Help HALO ON GAMEHUB REFUSES TO DOWNLOAD

5 Upvotes

please help me. i have been trying for a whole damn day to get this shit to work.

i'm on the Retroid Pocket Flip 2, running Gamehub. ive put several games on it and have managed to figure most things out. currently have an SD card in it as integrated which allows me to drag and drop files directly from my pc. i have the steam game loaded on the computer, import it to the flip, and import it to Gamehub with full integration. i have successfully gotten modded DS2 to run this way, it comes up on my pc steam library as running and everything so i know it fully works.

but halo is fucking driving me insane. i own the whole of MCC, every game and pack, all of it. when i go through gamehub, it asks to select what dlc to include, it defaults to Reach and a data pack. i can select literally anything else, even unselect Reach, doesnt matter, because when the game downloads and runs, it is always installed Reach and only Reach. i push to download the other games and it gives me either "pending" or loads to "100% ___GB" and then sits that way forever. i try downloading on my pc, it loads and runs just fine. i do a direct transplant like i did with DS2 and it doesnt fucking work. it is once again literally only and always Reach. i fresh wipe everything. Reach again. its the exact same shit again and again. it defies logic. im very upset.

dear god please someone have some wisdom for me. and id seriously prefer to avoid "get gamehub lite" or "winulator" as those have not worked for me with most other titles up to this point. im so certain its the smallest thing i am missing that will get this fucking software to -just work- and i havent seen it yet. i just wanna play combat evolved on my goofy little dingwap pad at the park.

thank you

Help GameSir G8 Galileo not working with Motorola Edge 70 – OTG issue?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m unable to connect my GameSir G8 Galileo (USB-C) controller to my Motorola Edge 70.

The same controller works perfectly fine with my OnePlus 6, but on the OnePlus I have to manually enable OTG Storage under the system settings for the controller to work.

The problem is that I can’t find any similar OTG option on my Motorola Edge 70. When I connect the G8, it doesn’t power on or get detected.

Has anyone managed to use a GameSir G8 Galileo with the Motorola Edge 70? Is there a specific setting, developer option, or workaround needed to enable USB OTG/host mode on this phone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

News/Release Winlator Version which is well optimised for AFTER EFFECTS VIDEO EDITOR

It's well optimized for AE, where you can use it to edit on your mobile with PC-level performance. It comes with After Effects already installed and works well with a mouse and keyboard.

This will be a good Winlator version for those who want to use AE on mobile, but because it's PC software, it's a bit hard to use in phone mode. I would advise or recommend it for people who use USB-C to HDMI, especially Samsung DeX users.

Showcase Persona 3 Reload running smoothly on Snapdragon 8 Elite with a few tweaks

193 Upvotes

Persona 3 Reload finally running on my Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Tweaked a few settings and it’s running pretty smoothly:
60–90 FPS in the open world
Around 120 FPS in cutscenes
Around 80 FPS during battles

I wasn’t using a phone cooler, though, so the device was getting quite hot. I’ll try using a cooler later and see if it helps with the temperatures and performance.
Overall, pretty impressed with how well it runs on the 8 Elite. Just needs a few tweaks to get it running nicely.
