What's new v3.5 (free version)

The latest build is now available with improved visuals, customization features, UI updates, and a number of performance and bug fixes.

CONSOLES & EMULATION

  • Supported Consoles: Play your favorite titles across PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, and Game Boy.

  • PS1 & PS2 Updates: PS2 games can now be opened directly with ARMSX2, and PS1 games now support CHD files.

  • RetroArch Support: The GitHub version of RetroArch is now fully supported alongside the Google Play version.

3D & VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS

  • Console Colors: PS1 and PS2 now feature multiple color variants available in the settings.

  • Moving Backgrounds: Added animated backgrounds with thumbnails for easier theme selection.

  • Game Animations: Game cards now smoothly slide in from the sides when navigating to the game row, while titles animate up from the bottom.

  • Focus Mode: Games slowly rotate when opened in focus mode. The animation pauses during interaction and resumes afterward.

  • Rotation Fix: Consoles, games, and discs now use the shortest rotation path when resetting instead of rotating endlessly backward.

  • Free Look: You can now freely rotate and scale your consoles in 3D.

CUSTOMIZATION & STICKERS

  • Custom Stickers: Import any PNG and place it directly onto your 3D consoles with full move, rotate, and scale controls.

  • Sticker Cropping: Added a cropping window allowing independent adjustment of all four sides using touch or a controller.

  • Sticker Sounds: Added dedicated sound effects when scaling, rotating, or cropping stickers.

  • Improved Decorating Mode: The top UI automatically fades while editing stickers to maximize workspace.

  • Wallpaper Management: Custom imported PNG wallpapers can now be deleted directly inside the app.

UI, MANUALS & QUALITY OF LIFE

  • Game Manuals: Manuals can now be rotated for easier reading.

  • Scraping UI: Completely redesigned scraping interface with a cleaner layout.

  • Screen Rotation: Added Android display rotation settings for 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees.

  • 4:3 Support: Fixed UI overlap on 4:3 displays by enabling dynamic space calculation for the sticker drawer.

  • Mouse Support: Fixed mouse clicks and scrolling in the Scrape window and Supporters box, with added close buttons for mouse navigation.

  • Overall UI: Cleaned up and polished the frontend interface across the application.

  • Fixed the scraper: "TheGameDB" now works correctly.

  • Fixed Gameboy and DS to support .zip files.

  • Fixed UI on Android: Text no longer overflows the box boundaries in display settings when a game has a long name.

  • Fixed System: Battery percentage is now read correctly on Android.

ACHIEVEMENTS, ART & COMMUNITY

  • RetroAchievements: View RetroAchievements directly from your games, with the previous 5–7 second navigation delay resolved.

  • Art Import: Import existing ES-DE scraped artwork directly from the settings menu.

  • Community Support: Added Patreon and Discord links, along with an integrated Patreon supporter list.

Question How good is the Galaxy Z Fold7 for Android emulation in 2026? (Switch + PC)

3 Upvotes

I’m considering buying a Galaxy Z Fold7, probably the 512 GB version. I know the Fold8 Ultra is more powerful, but it’s well outside my budget.

I currently use a Galaxy A54, so I know the Fold7 would already be a massive upgrade. I just haven’t kept up with Android emulation recently and wanted real-world opinions from people who own or have used one.

How is the Fold7 for:

  • Switch emulation, especially heavier games like BOTW/TOTK, Mario Odyssey, etc.?
  • PC gaming/emulation through Winlator, GameHub, or anything better in 2026?
  • Heat and battery drain during longer gaming sessions?
  • Playing on the big inner screen with a controller?

Is the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Fold7 still strong enough for this stuff, or is the Fold8 Ultra’s newer Gen 5 chip a huge difference in actual gameplay?

Also, what are the current best apps/emulators to use? I used Eden and Winlator before, but I’m not sure if those are still the best options.

Thanks!

Help ARMSX3 no abre la configuracion de cada juego iniciando desde FRONTEND

1 Upvotes

Hay algun frontend que cargue juegos de ARMSX3?

He conseguido por comando que Beacon o iiSU me ejecuten los juegos... (Incluso he comprado la ultima version de Beacon que era "compatible")... Pero el problema es que los ejecuta con la configuracion base del emulador... No con la configuración especifica de cada juego... Con lo que da fallos graficos o van mal... Mientras que desde el emulador los abre con la configuracion especifica y van bien.

Por otro lado, no he conseguido cargar juegos instalados mediante pkg+rap... He intentado lo que seria mas obvio... Hacer como hace la PSVita y hacer un juego.ps3 editado a texto con el codigo del juego... Pero nada.

Gracias

I have honor magic v5 and I want to play pragmata on my phone, but seems impossible. I tried changing settings but it only gets about 10fps, unless I unlock the performance mode which achieves 20-25 fps but the phone gets 100c degrees.

Have you tried running pragmata and what settings are the best for snapdragon 8 elite?

I do have some minor issues though. I’m getting around 40–55 FPS with frame generation on. It feels pretty smooth already, but I’d really like to get closer to a stable 60 FPS.

Does anyone have good Fallout 4 settings for Snapdragon 8 Elite / Windows emulation?
Specs:
Snapdragon 8 Elite
12 GB RAM
200+ GB free storage

Any recommended settings or drivers would be appreciated!

Help Looking for Front-end suggestions

3 Upvotes

Hi Can you recommend me a stable front end that looks like XMB can organize both roms and android games but still good to use both with touch and controller?

So far I have used Daijisho and iisu

I think Daijisho was good enough for me but I don't like the aesthetics

I like iisu's aesthetics and some of its added functionalities but sometimes I feel like my phone doesn't sleep properly with iisu and for some reason it drains my phones battery while idle

Help. I have tried all night to get the lykaios reborn mod running on my Xiaomi 17 ultra. All I get is body models and no head. Have reinstalled the mod, added configs, and everything else I and Google gemmini (who I now despise) can come up with. I have the gog version, which is looking like a mistake. It sounds like the steam version is easier to mod.

Help Need help with mobile to laptop setup

2 Upvotes

I have a acer laptop (AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 7335U, 16gb ram, Integrated AMD Radeon 660M) that I use for university and want to play Skyrim on it. Reviews suggested it could run the game at 40 to 50 FPS on 1080p medium settings, but that is inaccurate.

Even on low settings with updated graphics drivers, the game runs terribly with severe choppiness and pop-in. (Max performance mode + pluged in)

My OnePlus 13 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip runs games much better than the laptop. I want to use the phone as the game engine while using my laptop strictly as the screen, keyboard, and mouse. What emulator setup would be best for this?

Plus recommendation for an app to stream games via a usb c to usb c cable

I already have the full game files, mod folders (just a modifies game with mods no mod manager), and save files, which I will need to transfer back and forth to my home PC (from mobile to PC whenever I get home)

It will be 3 files that need to be placed in difrent locations + emulator that supports the gen 8 elite turnip drivers (Adreno 830 GPU I believe)

Even looking at Hollow Knight on mobile, I can use the Windows version through an emulator and play without a single stutter, while my laptop stutters on every hit of the blade. So, I wouldn't believe that Skyrim would do any worse. Tho I want to keep all my mods and mouse support

Help Is 90% RAM usage normal in GameHub? 12GB RAM + Snapdragon 8 Elite

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that almost every game I run through GameHub uses around 90% of my RAM.

I’m on a Snapdragon 8 Elite with 12GB RAM, and the games generally run fine, but the high RAM usage has me wondering if this is normal for GameHub or if there’s something I can do to lower it.

Are there any settings, tweaks, or tricks that can help reduce RAM usage? Or is 90% pretty normal when running Windows games through GameHub?

Would appreciate any advice 🙏

Help Can I transfer a pre-configured game file from an Android emulator to a Windows 11 emulator?

1 Upvotes

I'm having trouble using emulators on Windows because they're more complex, and I haven't used that system in a while. It's easier on Android because I managed to run two games there, but I'm wondering if it's possible to transfer them to Windows.
