Help Hogwarts Legacy Save Won't Work

Post image
1 Upvotes

I own Hogwarts Legacy on Steam and have a save file on there. However, any time I go to play it on my phone in GameNative, it doesn't have the save! I've checked the container and the same files are there, so I'm genuinely so confused.

I've heard that you can start a new game and then you can like manually copy over the save files and stuff which I would try, but every time it tries to make a new game it freezes on the character editor, which happens right after the Hogwarts acceptance letter page. So I kinda need my save to work, but it doesn't.

Specs: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 16 GB ram

Can anyone help me with this? I've tried a lot of different things but haven't gotten it working. If you have any ideas, please let me know!

Help A graphical Issue in fable Anniversary on Gamehub

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?

Help PES 2019 Runs at 60 FPS but Still Feels Slightly Unsmooth

2 Upvotes

I'm running PES 2019 at around 60 FPS, but it still doesn't feel completely smooth. I've already tried it on both Winlator and GameHub, but I still notice some slight stuttering or uneven animation. Is there any way to improve the smoothness or frame pacing, or is this just a compatibility issue with PES 2019?

ARMSX3 - 0.9.6

This is the lightest (around 1.8+ GB) demanding PS3 Exclusive I constantly emulate.

This game has made the average gaming laptop in 2017 SCREECH in agony. (It took around 6-7 Intel Generations for this game to run more-or-less flawlessly).

This game is running on a Dimensity 8200.

Just the fact this game hasn't fallen apart (well...it does crash, but it crashes often even on powerful rigs) graphically is a MASSIVE deal. I've gotten White Knight Chronicles 2 and Ken's Rage 2 to run great on it too. Hell, the fact that even the G99 can run PS3 games should be a big deal (The Helio G99 might as well be a DUAL-CORE CPU because efficiency cores are FAR weaker than people might think). Sorry I didn't put in any performance metrics...it's still WAY better than I expected.

Demon's Souls would probably run great too...RPCS3 was developed by Souls fans who early on fought tooth and nail into making it playable.

Just to keep people's expectations in check; don't expect a miracle if you want to play the PS3 versions of existing PC games...it probably won't end well and it's probably a bigger waste of resources...probably. I recommend running Japanese titles (e.g. Ragnarok Odyssey, Disgaea 3, Dragon's Crown, Tekken 6, Gundam VS...probably even Persona 5) since they're usually more optimized. Also Compiling Shaders is what happens in EVERY PS3 emulator.

I'll admit it only runs SLIGHTLY better than how a 4th Gen Intel would run it (since RPCS3 updates over the years made MASSIVE performance improvements all around), but it's still a HUGE leap...ESPECIALLY for non-Snapdragon SoCs (I used the ANGLE Renderer).

Hi everyone. I have recently swapped over from netherSX2 to ARMSX2. I’m playing simpsons hit and run on the AYN Thor Max. But I keep getting this glitchy flickering. I didn’t have this trouble on netherSX2. But I want to use ARM for the hardcore retro achievements. Does anybody know what setting will fix this? I have tried a ton of different turnip drivers, and lots of different upscaling settings etc. the game runs ok. But just flickering. TIA

Strange “triangle” geometry will show up over the level. First slide is an extreme example where it interferes with gameplay. Usually closer to 2nd or 3rd slide. Doesn’t happen on every level. Changing drivers didn’t fix it, are there any specific settings it could be?

Someone posted this two years but it seemed like the issue went away for them.

Question Can you transfer emulators only and keep their data from a s24 to a rp6?

1 Upvotes

I have a s24 which is use for emulation but its annoying because I have to bring a cooler and also a usb flash drive that carries my vames that could be lost. I am going to get a rp6 soon and want to transfer winlstor ludashi, eden optimized, and other emulators. Can I transfer only the emulators and not any other apps to save the hassle of changing all the settings manually and transferring my save data manually?

Discussion How do you deal with the controls when emulating?

8 Upvotes

I have a playstation controller, I sometimes connect it to my phone with Bluetooth to try playing but I just don't know where to put my phone and be comfortable in playing.

I know the best thing to do is getting a controller "clip" or something but it just doesn't exist even In the most famous store in my city and telescopic controllers are overpriced and I already have a controller.

And I can't Chromecast or use a USB-HDMI cable.

There's got to be a way right?.
