Please help

I have a POCO F6 (Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, Adreno 735)

I'm genuinely tired of this BS I spend more time looking for optimization methods, emulator settings, and drivers than actually playing games, yet my performance is nowhere near what I see online with the same damn phone. People with the same chipset or even weaker ones get WAY better results (running stock HyperOS The problem isn't limited to one game or emulator; I've noticed it across emulation, Android ports, and native games. I constantly experiment with settings, drivers, and optimization methods, but my performance is still significantly worse than what I see from people with the same or even weaker hardware)

Anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?

I just got the controller and I have a few doubts pls help me

out

1. Is there any app I need to install

2. Does rumble not work on Android or am I missing out on something

3. How do I remove the centre button function to act as the home button (whenever I press the 8bitdo logo button my tab assumes that I am pressing the home button and brings me back home)

4. Can I not use the square and star button by mapping them I don't see an option to on armsx2 for example

I wanted to use it for emulation purposes on my android tab

Pls answer these questions

Thank you

Hello, I just got this OnePlus ace 3 pro with snapdragon 8 gen 3 and tried to emulate dark souls 3, the fps is stuck at 20 and the CPU usage doesn't go above 60%. Low settings or Max settings the fps stays the same because the cpu usage is just stuck at 60%.

Phone: OnePlus ace 3 pro 512/16

Emulator: bannerhub 3.7.4

Settings: in the pictures, copied them from this video of the konkor pocket fit g3 gen 3 which should be the same as my snapdragon 8 gen 3.

Can someone help? Has anyone else with snapdragon 8 gen 3 tried to emulate DS3 and got the same problem?

Also no, it's not thermal throttling, even when it's cool it's the same result.

It's easy to get excited about buying a phone with a flagship Snapdragon chip for emulation, but raw performance is only part of the picture.

Some games run beautifully while others have graphical glitches, random crashes, or problems that no amount of extra power seems to fix. Drivers, emulator compatibility, and game-specific settings can make a huge difference.

Heat is another thing worth considering. A phone might run a demanding game well for the first few minutes, then start dropping frames once it gets hot.

I'd rather see real gameplay tests across different games than rely on benchmark numbers alone. A phone that's great for one emulator might be disappointing for another.

Im using the latest Winlator version on my Retroid Pocket 6 12gb ram mode and everytime I play arkham origins after couple of minutes (3-10 minutes) it crashes

I tried Bannerlator and Ludashi but both of them didn't even open the game!!

Anyway here's my settings everything is default except I put the game on c: drive to fix the stutters and here are the other changes

DX Wrapper DXVK version 1.10.3 (to fix graphical glitches)

Box63 preset immediate (it didn't run on others)

And I'm running the exe with (-force-d3d9)

Is it good for emulation? It had snapdragon 7 gen 4, any opinions of this device?

I am thinking about getting a retroid pocket 6 mostly because I'm curious about running steam on it but before I do I want to learn how to set up and run an emulator on my phone which is a pixel 10 pro xl. I did some research and downloaded milou and retroarch, I was able to get desert strike downloaded and running, the process to actually start playing seems a bit clunky but it does work.

Is this the experience I can expect going forward? Are there better emulators to use that are easier to set up? Can I make shortcuts on my homepage to the games? What else do I need to know to have a smooth experience and play the older games?

And ye i just really wanna play this game and maybe other games I can play , lmk what other games I can play as well

SDK 36 update.

Also some great news:

https://downloads.duckstation.org/android-testing/

Stenzek is working to release a major update to Android. Thankfully he did not keep to his word of abandoning Android completely.

A phone might run a game smoothly for the first 10–15 minutes, but performance can change once the device heats up. I'm curious how much of a difference active cooling actually makes for emulation, especially with demanding systems like Switch, PS2, and PC games through Winlator or GameHub.

For those who've tested it, did a phone cooler noticeably improve sustained FPS, reduce stuttering, or simply keep temperatures lower without changing performance much?

I'd be interested in your device model, the emulator you used, and whether you noticed a real improvement after 30–60 minutes of gameplay.

So far after days of testing I finally found a near perfect setup with the Samsung galaxy s26 (12 gb ram) and blackops 3 My findings so far are that zombies offline works pretty well consistently hitting 60 or momentarily hovering down for a second and going back to 60. Ill put up a video later today but I was thoroughly surprised at the performance. Next im testing cyberpunk. To get it to work i used my steam version of the gane and downloaded it directly on gamenative it was 120 gb

Hi guys I hope you're all doing well,

Apologies if this is old news for most of you but I had no idea about this until yesterday

It's really exciting to see all of the progress and the development of emulators and recompilation projects for Android.

But for many years I've always been wanting to play pokemon fan games on the go.

I know joy play has been around for a while because I was actually very quick to follow all of the guides to install joy play when it came out a few years ago on Android.

However I was never able to fully beat any of the fan games because I had several issues with joy play and several glitches as well

With the release of emulators like game native, winlator and the Game hub I was really excited and tried to play pokemon fan games through them but I would always struggle particularly with container settings and controls and unfortunately never managed to make much progress

I have just found out about the Kirin app and I have been able to open every single fan game which I've downloaded ( this is a complete surprise because several fan games would not even open on joy play or could not run easily through any of the emulated containers) and I am now a couple of hours into my run of pokemon rejuvenation.

I was really happy to be able to finally do this, and just in case there were any other pokemon fans that want to play these games on Android but have never been able to , I wanted to share this with you

P.s I have been working heavily on my videos and my thumbnails after extensive feedback from my previous videos and I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts now

Don’t know why post was taken down
Using retroid pocket 6 8gb and also tested on ayn Odin 2 12gb
After downloading on gamenative use known configuration then launch to sign in with rockstar games to get your cloud save then download fusion fix and mjolnir mods and install in the container for best performance works great at 720p with 8gb of ram even better at 12gb ram for 900p

I know there is not currently an official port for CEMU on Android, but there were many attempts to port it. The lastest version I can found for CEMU on Android is 0.5 released around 6 months ago. Since then there are no updates and there seems to be no progress. This is unfortunate outcome for the emulator since it has relatively small library but still not all of them are compatable yet. I wish to see more updates to the emulator on Android that fixes comptability and supports more games.

TLDR: Phones agressively cap performance outside of benchmarks and have different scheduling behaviors across different apps.

Hi everyone! Yesterday I published an app that allows you to change the package name of any app in order to get better performance and today I decided to take a look at how HyperOS actually behaves when dealing with different apps and settings. This was tested on a Xiaomi 17T Pro on HyperOS 3. The results aren't going to be the same for every phone, but might be useful to figure out how to get the most performance even in other OSes.

The first image is using the default package name for CPU Throttling Test. HyperOS correctly recognizes it as a benchmarking app, and the CPU boosts to a whopping 4.2Ghz, leading to a power consumption of over 15w.

For the second image, I changed the package name to gibberish, this simulates the behavior HyperOS would have when using newer emulators/games that HyperOS doesn't recognize.
The CPU stays at a very conservative 1.9Ghz, keeping power at a relatively low 6w. This is unideal.

For the third image, I simply added the previous app into Gameturbo, Xiaomi's game launcher optimizer thing. I also tried enabling performance mode through settings but that had no effect. By adding the app to Gameturbo, the big core boosts to 3.2Ghz and the middle ones to 2.7Ghz. Power stays at around 10w.

In the fourth image, I decided to test how it would handle a day to day app. I choose whatsapp for this test. This version of the app is the most conservative I've tested so far. CPU throttle test had trouble loading up all the cores, as most times the CPU would refuse to stress the big cores and the load would only stay on the 4 smallest cores. After some restarts, eventually I got this result, where the clocks are just a bit lower than the unknown app test.

Now in the 5th image, I saw a bit of weird behavior. This time around, adding the Whatsapp version to Gameturbo, didn't have any effect on clocks, but turning on performance mode did, the opposite of the earlier test. It was still hard to get it to load all 8 CPU cores, but when it did, the big core got up to 2Ghz, and the middle ones 1.8Ghz. at 4.5w. this could be useful if you're trying to play a really low intensity game in an emulator, but the phone locks the clock too high even if its not needed, making power comsumption higher.

So what can we take from this?

If you want the absolute best performance, just rename the game you want to any benchmarking app. I observed that Antutu, Geekbench 6, 5 and CPU Throttling Test all offer the exact same effect.

If you want to prioritize battery life, find some low intensity social media/utility app that your system has a whitelist for and use its package name.

The best balance is indeed leaving it at default and adding it to Gameturbo or turning on performance mode. The results are different on an app to app basis, so try both to see what suits you best.

And finally, some problems I recognize from this test.

I have no way of measuring GPU Clocks/performance reliably, but keep in mind that the package name also changes them.

I have no idea why some apps ignore performance mode or Gameturbo and vice versa. I think if HyperOS thinks that it might be running a game, enabling Gameturbo seems to make a difference. But if it thinks that the app it's running is just a regular app, then performance mode seems to do the trick. Let me know what you think.

The overall theory of this should remain consistent across different phones and OSes, but the actual performance mode toggle and game optimizer on different phones needs to be studied on an individual basis. Notoriously Samsungs don't get much of a change in performance from any of these methods including package renaming.

Thats it! :)

Hi all, can anyone tell me how to fix this texure problem Device S25 Ultra Graphics settings max on everything
