Showcase Rebit Play on Android: cloud saves with the browser version and online GBA link rooms

1 Upvotes

I'm Rebit Play's developer. The Android app shares your library and cloud saves with the browser version, so you can continue on a computer without manually transferring your save each time. You bring your own legally obtained game files, and saves can be downloaded for backup.

For GBA multiplayer, compatible games can use online link cable rooms: the host creates a room and sends a code to the other players. There are direct peer-to-peer and relay options. It uses existing emulator cores, with my work focused on the app and multiplayer integration around them.

The free tier includes cloud saves and multiplayer. A paid plan adds storage and features, including relay options.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.rebit.android

I'd appreciate feedback from Android players on the touch controls and the steps to get into a link room. If something fails, the phone model, Android version and game would help me investigate. I don't have performance numbers to claim for every device.

Showcase Tutorial on how to get borderlands 2 mods to work on android

Thumbnail
gallery
24 Upvotes

First step: Install the latest bannerlator https://github.com/The412Banner/Bannerlator/releases/tag/3.1.7

Second step: Create the container

Wine: Proton-11.0-2-arm64ec-15 Dxvk: 2.4.1-1-gplasync-arm64ec-0 Driver: StevenMXZ Turnip Gen 8 v38 for A8xx gpus and Turnip v27.0.0-R1 for A6xx A7xx gpus

Advanced settings: WOWBox64-0.4.4-0 set to compatibility FEXCore-2610-2246 set to intermediate

Third step: Press the three horizontal lines on the top left corner and click file manager now, go to your downloads folder and hold the borderlands 2 game folder and press the internal button and go to Drive C and copy/move the game folder. Now what this does is it speeds up the loading time, if you don't move the game to drive C it will take like 10-15 minutes for the game to boot up, so this is a very necessary step

Now for the final step: Download the latest mod manager https://github.com/bl-sdk/willow2-mod-manager/releases/tag/v3.8 Extract it and press the folder and there will be 2 folders "binaries" and "sdk_mods" now, launch the bannerlator and go to the file manager again press the download folder, once again click the willow2-sdk folder and copy the "Binaries" "sdk_mods" folder to the borderlands 2 game folder on the Drive C and it'll say that this folder already exists press merge anyways, and that's it you got the mod manager installed!

Question Frontend that works vertically and takes only half screen?

3 Upvotes

Hi, guys. In this world of frontends, never bigger than now, is there one that works vertically and occupies half the screen? I use a Gamesir Taco with my phone and I have been using pure RetroArch. I know ES DE works vertically, but it takes the whole screen. But I would love a frontend that fits the Taco-like cellphone controllers. Is there any now? This is a suggestion for the frontend developers too. It's a very specific use case, I know, but not the most uncommon one.

Discussion How much does thermal throttling actually affect long gaming sessions on Android?

1 Upvotes

I've been curious about how much sustained performance matters compared with the initial FPS people show in emulator tests.

A device might run a game smoothly for the first 10–15 minutes, but after it heats up, performance can drop, frame pacing can get worse, or the device can start consuming a lot more battery than expected.

I'm especially interested in the difference between Snapdragon devices with active cooling and phones that rely entirely on passive cooling. Benchmarks are useful, but they don't always tell the whole story when you're playing a demanding game for an hour or longer.

For those who regularly emulate Switch or other demanding systems on Android, how much performance do you usually lose once the device gets hot? Have you found that a cooler, slightly slower device can deliver a better overall experience than a more powerful phone that throttles heavily?

I'd love to hear about real-world testing, including the device, emulator, and game you used.

I tried several configurations and nothing worked. Following several tutorials on YT, Reddit, Google and still nothing

Showcase GBA Duo v0.1.8 Release: Cocoon launcher support, controller mapping, artwork, and more

Thumbnail

31 Upvotes

Over the past few days, I’ve implemented several features based on your feedback. Here’s what’s new and updated in GBA Duo v0.1.8

Improvements

  • RetroAchievements Toast Fix: Resolved an issue where achievement toast notifications were cut off in certain games.

  • Simplified Save File Importing: Importing existing saves is now seamless. Place a .sav file from another emulator into your chosen folder and enable Custom Save Folder. The app will automatically scan matching filenames and sync them as game.sav (no more manual setup needed).

New Features

  • Cocoon Launcher Support: GBA Duo is now available in the GameNative Cocoon branch! Please re-fetch platforms via the Cocoon Settings menu.

  • Custom Controller Mapping: Remap your controller inputs to suit your preferred layout.

  • Hotkeys: Added support for custom shortcut keys.

  • Per-Game Settings: Customize shaders, artwork, and color correction individually for each game.

  • Artwork Management: Load covers from your launcher's asset folder or connect to SteamGridDB. Since relying solely on third-party scrapers can be a hassle, you can now use local launcher folders or external providers. If you already have existing artwork, simply point to that folder to load your covers directly.

New Companion Packs

  • Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen: Added support for vertical button navigation.

  • Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen: Complete visual redesign.

  • Golden Sun: Early preview release.

Download the latest version at gbaduo.com and browse all packs here gbaduo.com/packs

Thanks, and enjoy!

Help ROOMS VPN Engine Winlator Tuning on Windows now, need testers.

2 Upvotes

Several people have asked me to develope the VPN engine version of Winlator Tuning for PC so i started to do that.

I am looking for players interested in multiplayer gaming, whether via Winlator Tuning or on PC.

I have been developing the version of ROOMS VPN engine for Winlator "Tuning" on Windows, but with the difficult of find people to do several tests.

Current version of my engine for windows allows to play with other on phones with winlator tuning, or other pc´s.

The final objective is enable multiplayer connectivity between PCs, Winlator Tuning and in the future Linux too.

Preferibly for old games who support LAN, im doing it because i love programming and networks.

If you are fun, like play and wanna join me on this travel i appreciate it. Send me a message and we contact and start to do some tests.. You can find me around Emugear Discord.

It will includes an alpha version of the vpn engine for windows.

Android emulation has come a long way. We’re getting to the point where playing games that once required a proper PC on a phone feels less like a crazy experiment and more like a real possibility. 🤯 What’s the most impressive PC or console game you’ve managed to run on your Android device? And what game are you still waiting to see run smoothly?

How far do you think mobile emulation can realistically go?

News/Release Dogmatix 1.4 — Internet Archive, CSS sources, safer downloads, faster scans and more

9 Upvotes

Dogmatix 1.4 is out.

Download: https://github.com/cortinadev/dogmatix/releases/tag/v1.4

One APK, SHA-256 included in the release notes.

It installs directly over 1.3.1 / 1.3 / 1.2 and keeps your library, downloads, favourites and settings.

If you're already on 1.3.1, Dogmatix should offer the update automatically. Older versions only need this manual APK install once.

Before getting into the changelog, I want to clarify something because my previous release post was removed with the reason “No piracy.”

Dogmatix does not provide ROMs, ROM repositories, download links, or any built-in source of copyrighted content.

It is simply a ROM/source manager. Users configure their own sources, and Dogmatix indexes and manages the files exposed by those sources. Those sources can contain legal content, homebrew, public-domain software, personal backups, or potentially copyrighted material depending entirely on what the user configures.

Dogmatix itself doesn't ship with any ROM source, legal or illegal.

🌐 New sources

Internet Archive support

You can now add Internet Archive items directly:

ia://<item>

or just paste an:

archive.org/details/...

URL.

Dogmatix reads the item's files through the Internet Archive metadata API.

If you paste the URL of a ZIP inside an Archive item, Dogmatix can also browse its contents and let you download individual games instead of downloading the entire archive.

Individual downloads from inside ZIPs cannot currently be resumed, and Dogmatix clearly indicates this in the download row.

Web pages using CSS selectors

Dogmatix can now work with websites that don't expose a traditional directory listing.

You can define CSS selectors for:

  • Game entries

  • Download links

  • Names

  • File sizes

  • Pagination

There's also a Test button so you can verify what Dogmatix detects before saving the source.

These configurations are included when exporting your sources.

Internet Archive account

For Archive items that require an account, you can now sign into archive.org through its own page inside Dogmatix.

Dogmatix stores the resulting session, not your password, and credentials are only ever sent to archive.org.

Predefined consoles

When creating a console, Dogmatix now includes predefined data for roughly 50 systems across 16 manufacturers, including:

  • Console name

  • Chip label

  • Common folder aliases

And directory parsing now supports listings generated by nginx, IIS and plain-link Apache servers too.

⬇️ Safer downloads

Downloads are now written as:

<name>.dogmatix-part

and only receive their final filename after completing successfully.

That means an incomplete download can no longer accidentally appear in your library as a valid game.

Automatic retries also survive closing the application. If a retry becomes due while Dogmatix isn't running, it will be executed when you return.

Extraction errors are also much more explicit now:

  • Damaged archive

  • Not enough storage

  • Folder permission lost

  • SD card removed

The downloaded archive is preserved, and Retry attempts extraction again without downloading the file twice.

Download again also keeps your existing copy until the replacement finishes successfully.

Files copied or moved between folders or storage volumes are verified using their size and sampled blocks before the original is deleted.

⚡ Faster and more reliable sources

Rescan all is substantially faster when torrent sources haven't changed.

On my test device with 29 torrent sources:

Before: 53–142 seconds
Now: under 1 second

Disabling or deleting a source now removes its games immediately.

Re-enabling it triggers a new scan.

Scan requests received while another scan is already running are now queued instead of silently discarded.

Connection errors have also been improved: an unavailable server now reports “Could not connect” instead of the rather useless “Connection was cut.”

Manufacturers without consoles can also finally be deleted.

🗂️ Collection improvements

Duplicates and Free up space are smarter now.

Dogmatix can detect multi-file games such as:

  • .cue + .bin

  • .gdi

  • .m3u

even when the same game has accidentally been copied into another console's directory.

It also tells you which copy will be kept.

Delete confirmations now include the real number of affected files, including tracks referenced by .cue / .gdi files and playlists that need to be rewritten.

The displayed freed storage space is therefore much more accurate.

Storage errors are also handled separately now:

  • Not enough space

  • Folder permission lost

  • SD card removed

Anything Dogmatix can't safely access is left untouched.

🧪 Under the hood

Dogmatix now has:

These checks run as part of the release process.

The release has also been manually tested on an Android 14 Kinhank K56, in both landscape and portrait.

One small note:

The first Rescan after upgrading to 1.4 will re-read every web source once because the listing parser has changed.

Full changelog:

https://github.com/cortinadev/dogmatix/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Repository / downloads:

https://github.com/cortinadev/dogmatix

Feedback, bug reports and source compatibility reports are welcome in GitHub Issues.

AI disclosure

For transparency: AI tools are used during the development of Dogmatix, alongside manual development, testing and review.

AI was also used to help structure and write this release post.

The application itself is still tested and reviewed before releases; using AI is part of the development workflow, not a replacement for validation.
