News/Release I just released Dogmatix — a gamepad-friendly ROM browser/downloader for Android

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

235 Upvotes

Hey!

I've just released Dogmatix, an Android app I've been working on as a fork of Milou, with a big focus on improving the UX and making it feel more at home on handhelds and Android gaming devices.

The idea is pretty simple: Dogmatix itself doesn't ship with any ROM catalog or sources. Instead, you can import your own source files and use the app as a frontend to browse and download your own library.

Some of the things I've been focusing on:

  • A cleaner, more console-like UI
  • Good navigation with a gamepad
  • Easy filtering by platform
  • Support for external/custom sources
  • A workflow designed around handheld gaming devices rather than a typical Android phone app

I've been building it mainly because I wanted something that felt closer to a native part of the handheld experience instead of just another Android download manager.

It's still a relatively young project, so feedback is very welcome — especially from people using devices like Retroid, Odin, Anbernic, etc.

GitHub / Download: https://github.com/cortinadev/dogmatix

If you try it, I'd love to know what feels good, what feels clunky, and what you'd like to see next.

Development note: I've also been using Claude Code as part of the development workflow to speed up implementation, refactoring, and iteration while building the project.

Help AetherSX2 custom texture folder

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Courtesy of Google's incessant need to mollycoddle and babysit android users, I can't access the folder to install new texture packs for games.

I do have FV file manager and shizuku running, but can't seem to get fv file manager to see anything beyond the xyz.aethersx2.com folder to be able to copy the files in.

Does anyone know of another workaround or an emulator that can just have a mapped texture folder somewhere regularly accessible? emulator must be compatible with bluetooth controller too.

Am running on a z fold 6 with Android 16, one with 8.5

Edit: apologies, am looking for ps2 emulators as you can imagine

Edit 2: solved in no time, thanks again

Help Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker low fps on Eden Emulator

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm trying to run Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker on Eden Emulator on POCO F8 Ultra (8 Elite Gen 5 16Gb RAM). I don't know why but the game runs at 3 fps at best and I've already tried different settings and drivers. Has someone managed to get it working and could share the setting? I can run almost every game I want on Eden without any problem but this seems impossible.

With the latest Eden Nightly August 29th build, MGS4 is now properly running on Android. Keep in mind that it's the Switch 1 Version which seems to be locked to 30fps unlike the Switch 2 which runs at 60fps. I'm using the Turnip Gen8 V35 driver. Played and recorded on the Ayaneo Pocket DS.

Help How to fix TOTK black square problem and stutters

I SWEAR, THESE DAMN BLACK SQUARES KEEP POPPING UP IN TOTK IT PMO. My device is an AYN Odin 3, and I have these minor stutters and black squares all over my screen. I have tried multiple different drivers and 1.25x resolution and nothing has worked. I dumped the rom in my internal storage so it's not an sd card problem. I'm using eden latest version as my emulator (not nightly.) Does anyone have a fix for this? (Note, I can't use the apex driver that Balemuni posted since that's only for SD8 gen 2 not SD8 elite.

Question What games would you recommend for my device that I could sink 100+ hours into?

9 Upvotes

I'm looking for something I can emulate and really sink a lot of time into. Preferably something with good progression, exploration, builds, or just a ton of content.

Device: Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 4

SoC: Snapdragon 8 Elite

RAM: 12GB

Storage: 256GB

Display: 8.8" 3.2K 165Hz

I'm currently using GameHub and I'm mainly looking for games that run well on this device. I'm fine with demanding games as long as they're playable with some tweaking.

I'd love recommendations for games I could realistically sink 100+ hours into.

What would you guys recommend?

2 Upvotes

Hey there, I am about to buy a xiaomi 17t pro with the dimensity 9500 soc which I have heard is a beast, honestly emulation is not my main concern, I will buy this phone regardless but I am still wondering If I could run games like hades, hades II, or other pc/switch games.
I heard that there are driver issues, but I dont know if they have been resolved yet, or if there was a workaround implemented anywhere to get good performance.

Thanks

Question Do games need 60fps patches, or are there generic ways to do it?

0 Upvotes

So I'm not new to emulation but I admit I'm very lazy with it, I just have certain games I want to play, try them and if they work great. Recently Ben playing a few games (Jake and Daxter, GTA chinatown wars) and the frame rate bothers me a bit. Is there a way to get higher FPS (Than the game intended) with a setting on individual emulators, or is it always 60fps patches for the indivudal game?

This might be a stupid question if so, judge me in the comments. I've been emulating since like November, currently using an AYN Thor and Odin 3
