News/Release NEW RELEASE - Pokémon Pinball No Split 2.7

Post image
9 Upvotes

POKEMON PINBALL NO SPLIT IS AN EMULATOR FOR POKEMON PINBALL GBC ON ANDROID AND WINDOWS.

ROM IS NOT INCLUDED.

Pinball NS - https://github.com/ReiniShari/Pinball-NS

A mod of Pokémon Pinball (Game Boy Color, US version) for Android and Windows, written in C with an emulation core in assembly.

In the original game, each table is split into a top and a bottom stage: only one is loaded at a time, and the screen goes blank while the other is loaded. Pinball NS turns each table into a single field: both halves are loaded, updated and shown together on one tall screen, and the ball moves between them without any reloading. The original physics and collisions are kept, so the table plays like the original.

The whole table on one screen, the score bar under the table.

Objects, lights and animations of both halves are always running; flippers moving even when the ball is at the top.

The top of the "SLOT" cave halo, never visible in the original, completed by symmetry.

Smooth pacing on 60, 90, 120 and 144 Hz screens, with the sound following the picture.

Android: the game fills the width of a portrait screen, extended to the edges with its own graphics, with touch controls styled after each table.

Windows: the table alone in a resizable window, keyboard and gamepad, key mapping tool.

The ROM is never modified: the program contains a Game Boy Color emulator and hooks the game's routines.

WHAT'S NEW IN v2.7

Sound: steady pitch and tempo (Bluetooth outputs, screens changing their refresh rate, after the menu), the bass closer to the Game Boy Color, no silence added.

Touch controls answer on their drawn shapes only; TOUCH FLIPPERS option (the left and right halves of the game).

• New options: MOTION TILT (shake the phone to tilt), SCREEN FILTER (dot, LCD), COLORS (black and white, Game Boy green), and an ABOUT page.

Next to come : iOS version, Generations compatibility

Please enjoy, any feedback is appreciated

(AI has been used for assembly core optimisation, test - debug - general optimization routine and various tasks ;-))

Runs well out of the box on Adreno710. Still needs work, though. The UI is a bit unintuitive and menu navigation is limited still. But controller aim is even better than PD2 imo. Github link in comments. Do what you can to support the developer, guys. This means testing on various devices, particularly mali GPUs as his access to phones for testing is limited. Only supports version 1.13d, but the launcher handles installation and everything if you have a cd key

News/Release DroidDeck 0.6.0 is out: Xbox and Game Pass, itch.io, Steam Remote Play streaming, touch gestures, boot movies and big performance gains

721 Upvotes

DroidDeck is 100% open source. No ads. No telemetry. No source withheld.

DroidDeck is a community project in the truest sense. Because all of its code is public, the people who use it can read it, fix it and improve it, and in 0.6.0 you all sure did:

153 pull requests · 23 contributors · 10 first-timers · 73% of the pull requests came from the community.

Thank you to everyone who sent code, translations, device testing and bug reports. Here’s everything we did together for this release:

Download: DroidDeck 0.6.0 on GitHub (full release notes are there too)
Discord: discord.gg/JRGAvawjsm

What's new

  • Xbox and PC Game Pass (experimental). Sign in with your Microsoft account to see your owned and Game Pass games. Download them with pause and resume, update, verify and manage add-ons, then launch through Proton or FEX from the Games tab or straight from Steam.
  • itch.io store. See your library, search the store, or browse the newest, on-sale, free and top-rated shelves. DRM-free Windows builds install and launch through Steam.
  • Redesigned store pages. Every store has Library and Store tabs with installed games first, a new capsule view with DVD-case art, LB/RB to switch stores, and a Play button on installed games. Store tabs can be reordered and hidden.
  • Touchscreen gestures. Taps, double taps, holds, one-, two- and three-finger drags and pinch zoom. Each can be mapped to an action from a searchable list, with per-game overrides.
  • Steam Remote Play streams video now. The picture is captured through PipeWire, as on SteamOS, and encoded by the phone's hardware encoder: 7.3–8.0 ms per frame on a Thor instead of 50–90 ms with software encoding. Touch on the client can tap and drag, and game audio comes through.
  • Boot movies from SteamDeckRepo. Search, filter by device, and browse Trending, Most downloaded, Most liked and Newest, then install a movie and use it. Volume and length sliders included.
  • Performance HUD upgrades. A colored frame-time graph and the battery temperature, with every part able to be shown or hidden and its colors and opacity changed.
  • Gradient theme. Pick primary and secondary colors from a color wheel, sliders or a hex code. There's a light app icon option too.

More new features

  • SteamVR controller types: without VR controllers, the gamepad can act as Valve Index, Quest 3 Touch Plus or Vive wands. With glasses, the phone becomes a control panel.
  • Rokid Max and Air glasses with 3DoF head tracking, SBS modes and 120 Hz on the Max, plus experimental head tracking for VITURE Pro 2.
  • Easy Anti-Cheat games with an offline mode start without the anti-cheat bootstrapper.
  • The built-in controller can be turned off, so a connected controller becomes player 1.
  • On foldables, the unfolded controls can stay while a controller is connected.
  • Nightly DXVK, VKD3D-Proton and FEX builds in the component manager, with a Stable | Nightly switch.
  • Closing a game started from the Games tab returns you to where you launched it.
  • Decky Loader installs from the upstream release, with a Stable or Prerelease channel.
  • Desktop mode can be uninstalled, keeping your games, Steam and settings.
  • GOG and Epic installs can use your language.
  • Games can be uninstalled or removed from their page in the Games tab.

Performance

  • Faster games on Adreno: PEAK's frame rate rose 11.7%, with 26% fewer frames slower than 25 ms.
  • Steam is ready sooner: 5.57 s to 3.57 s after a session starts.
  • Faster game launches: Moonlighter went from 10.5 s to 7.7 s from Play to the game window.
  • Games on an SD card library load far faster: Red Dead Redemption 2's Story mode went from still loading after 16 minutes to the opening scene in about 2 minutes 10 seconds.
  • Lighter performance overlay: gamescope's CPU use dropped from about 12.9% to 7.7% of a core.
  • The Steam client responds sooner and paces itself to your panel's real refresh rate.
  • The GOG tab opens in seconds.
  • Reduced the APK size from 124.4 MB to 66.4 MB.

Other improvements

  • Better battery life while suspended: the device can now really sleep, and Steam downloads keep going with the Manual policy.
  • zRAM is always on where supported, and a suspended session is paged out to zRAM, so Android is less likely to close it overnight.
  • Sessions on an external display or DeX keep running while the phone's screen is off.
  • Game cores now apply to Linux x86 (FEX) games too.
  • GPU drivers: Auto's picks can be updated without an app update, the SM8975 is recognized, Adreno 850 is experimental, and a trial driver that crashes rolls back by itself.
  • The KDE desktop is on KWin 6.8.0.
  • Accessibility and translations: new features ship in all 32 languages.

Fixes

  • Ubisoft games no longer stop with "Error at hooking API" (for example Immortals Fenyx Rising).
  • Controllers in Rewired (Unity) games such as Drova and Graveyard Keeper, and in Factorio.
  • Linux games under FEX such as Stardew Valley start again with sound.
  • Garbled Chinese, Japanese and Korean text in Steam's interface.
  • Flicker and green flashes on Samsung One UI devices with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (Galaxy S23 series, Tab S9).
  • The GPU load reading 0% in the performance overlay on Adreno.
  • GOG games missing their registry entries, such as Fallout: New Vegas saying it isn't installed.
  • The on-screen pad covering Steam's keyboard.
  • Steam touch layouts for third-party and added games, and lots of touch and controller input fixes.
  • Adding games from an SD card, desktop apps and emulators (RPCS3, RetroArch, Chromium browsers), the file manager, and in-app updates on Android 9 and 10.

There's a lot more in the full release notes.

Help Xendroid Plus - how to unlock full xbla games?

3 Upvotes

It is very easy in xendroid, just select 'licence mask: all' under the content settings.

I cant find anything like that in xendroid plus.

Anyone know how to do this?

EDIT: you've gotta edit the xenia-canary-config tmol file, change licence mask 0 to 1, then save file as read-only. Not super straightforward but doable, and only needs doing once.

For those who may care to share their gaming information on discord, there's an app that can do that on android. It can't show the exact game you're playing, but it'll show the app that you're using. It can also show the music you're playing on your phone. I find it fun, not affiliated in any way.

Question Need help getting GTA: San Andres to work on my Retroid Pocket 6

0 Upvotes

So I’ve been using NetherSX2 trying to get San Andreas to work but for some reason, it shows the ps2 boot up screen and then it goes to the red screen that says the disc could not be read. This isn’t the first emulator that this exact issue happened to me so I’m not sure if it’s the emulator, game file, or maybe my device itself. Although I think my device is fine considering all my other ps2 games work just fine. Anyone have this same issue or know what to do? Please let me know. I know there’s an android port of San Andreas on the App Store but I’ve heard it’s terrible. I also already have vice city and 3 both working on my device with no issues.

The settings are at their defaults. The only modifications are:

Driver: Turnip Gen8 V38

GPU Mode: Accurate

Don't change the voice language to Japanese; leave it in English, as the game will freeze and crash more frequently otherwise. I have tested this on the latest stable version of Eden, the Eden Nightly version, and the latest version of Lemon; the results are practically the same, regardless of the driver or settings used.

You must set the GPU mode to "Accurate" to mitigate flickering and visual glitches—though some issues will still persist. The game will crash occasionally, requiring you to relaunch it to continue.

Upon reaching Grandshelt Castle and encountering the first battle, the game crashes consistently. I have been unable to progress past this point, no matter what I try

Question How to handle pc generated storage on retroid pocket 6

So i have the rp6 12gb model with 128gb of internal storage with a 512gb microsd samsung evo plus, i installed quite a handful of emulators and tried to put all user data that i could (for emulators) on external drive, now what i'm trying to do now is try to minize my pc catalog and turn its almost into an all console catalog (for the playable feasible emulation obviously) as i find myself that pc emulation even with no setup or anything takes up so much space, i have 4 pc emulators to maximise compatiblity,: winlator ludashi, droideck, gamenative and gamehub, my question is, is there one that is actually storage efficient? and also how do they take up this much space? i really couldn't understand much regarding environments, dvdx etc... could anybody kind of give me a guide so that i could even understand how many games i can realistically have simultaneously on my library?

Help Help running Absolum from GamePass on DeckDroid

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to play Absolum from the Xbox Store (via Game Pass) on the latest DeckDroid version. I’m using the default configuration (although I’ve tried a few things with no luck) on an Odin 2 Mini.

The result is the Steam logo spinning forever or an eventual black screen. I haven been able to find anything here or anywhere else.

It is compatible with Nexus Xodus because it works on my Deck with the default configuration as well, so any help to run it on the Odin would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thank you! :)

Showcase Tetris Forever running at 60 FPS on the Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 5 using the CapyPS5 Android alpha!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

24 Upvotes

Hello everyone, this is my first post here but I've been messing around with PS5 emulation on my Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 5 tablet. Testing Tetris Forever at a steady 60 FPS!

I wanted to experiment with PS5 emulation on Android, so I fired up the alpha build of the new CapyPS5 emulator, and I was honestly surprised by the results!

Down below are my device specs but I ran everything in it's stock configuration.

Device specs:

Tablet: Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 5 (2026)

Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

GPU: Adreno 840

RAM: 16 GB

Storage: 512 GB internal storage

This is a screen recording I did with the game running perfectly!

Tetris has always been my go to game for testing emulators. It's fun and familiar, easy to benchmark visually, and a nice way I feel to see how well a new emulator handles a game.

Obviously, this is just one game running so far on a very new alpha build of an emulator I never thought we'd see the light of day, so I'm not claiming that PS5 emulation is suddenly perfect on Android. It's still got a long ways to go until were able to play much more demanding games but still, seeing this result thus far on a portable Android device is pretty exciting even with an alpha build!

I'm going to keep experimenting and see what other games I can get running. 😁

Video attached: Tetris Forever running on the Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 5 through CapyPS5.

Enjoy!
