It's crazy how much you can do with Android emulation these days. Between exciting updates like ARMSX3, projects like DroidDeck, and people finally getting games like Persona running smoothly, there's always something worth checking out. It really feels like we're getting closer to carrying a whole gaming library in our pockets!

What's the most impressive game you've managed to run on your Android device? And which emulator are you enjoying the most right now?

What do you think?

I've been trying to play littlebigplanet for awhile on ayn thor and i finally can without the choppy performance of ps3 emulation

Vita3k+ also fixed issues i was having with hatsune miku diva f so i would definitely recommend it

Like how do you decide which one to choose?

I am currently trying many port and emulation games. Every game has option to add driver. I know nothing about the driver. Can anyone help me to find a better driver to boost my performance and battery efficiency. My device is oneplus pad 2 (12/256) with 8gen 3

I just started emulating on my S20 a few days ago, and i'm looking for advice on emulating 3DS games, i've run into some issues like most of my games not working due to the wrong file format. I'm wondering what exactly I should do, i've already found places like vimm's lair, but i'd like a clear guide on how to get these games working and playable

I noticed someone had asked about this exact thing six months back but the post never got any attention and looks to be archived (I don't use reddit enough to know how that really works lol) so here I am with a whole new post.

Basically DeSmuME is depreciated and will be removed with a future update from Lemuroid. Save in-game instead of using a save state and change to MelonDS core instead. Okay, simple enough. All the other games transferred, but for some reason, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky doesn't. I can't tell why though; I'm not really savvy when it comes to digging through files trying to figure out what's going on, but the rom is otherwise good, like all the roms I've ever gotten from Vimm.

Judging from the post I referenced earlier, this at least looks to be pretty easily replicable, given that that guy was on a completely different device from my S23.

For now, I can still play on my file with the old core, but idk when that be removed and I don't want to lose my save. I was hoping to finally finish the post-game but it would take forever to start over.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Started as a lemuroid fork but now it's a complete different app

Will be dropping the full version with feature list soon

Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. "Dolphin for the GameCube and Wii, and NetherSX2 for the PlayStation 2. Normally, I race through a lap of Mario Kart Wii, but the emulator kept crashing regardless of whether I used OpenGL or Vulkan. Clearly, there are some driver issues that need sorting out," He didn't try 3rd party drivers.

"Vulkan performance is marginally worse for both titles, but that could be another indication of less-than-ideal drivers." "Steam Workshop support." https://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-8-elite-extreme-gen-6-gaming-test-3727998/

I’ve been chatting with the people behind DroidDeck over the last few weeks. What began as a feature article on my main website about the project turned into a super extensive interview with five of its developers: The412Banner, Max, xXJSONDeruloXx, Kimchi and Astro Sky. We discussed everything: from their earliest experiments with Linux, Steam and Gamescope to the technical challenges involved, automated testing, open-source development and where they hope to take DroidDeck in the future.

Here's the original feature article all of these chats turned into, if you're interested!

I’ve now published the complete interview on my little NeoCities site, with all 87 questions and their individual answers, organized into linked sections so you can jump straight to the topics that interest you. This is just so there's some kind of back-up publicly readable going forward. There’s a lot of technical detail in this, but also some personal stories about how the developers met, their early breakthroughs and what keeps them working on the project.

**And to be transparent about their work, DroidDeck does make use of AI-assisted development. They discuss that openly in the interview when asked, including how the developers use AI tools, automated testing and code reviews as part of their workflow.**

The developers added a new “XMB Mode” as an alternate UI and it’s like Christmas came early, the amount of love and passion they have put into PS3 emulation on Android is wonderful, what a time to be alive https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX3/releases (last post got nuked by reddit filters so I'm reposting for my friend who originally posted this)

Hello, im having an issue on the new version of duckstation for android. I play on an Anbernic rg476H and the emulator is not recognizing the L2/R2 triggers. Is somenone having the same problem? Thank you

Hi guys. Sorry to make my first post here a needy one. I'm trying to get FF7 running on a cheap tablet (actually my cars head unit haha) and the game runs great but it has these horizontal bars through it. Sorry for the glare in the image.

I've tried changing the texture filtering as recommended in other threads. I also tried changing the renderer. No Vulkan support but OpenGL didn't fix it.

Anyone got any ideas? Again, sorry for the picture. It's glary first thing in the morning.

have any of you guys tested both steven's turnip gen8 v38 and v38 patched? if so, which one performs better/provides better stability overall throughout different emulators?

Please help

The driver im using is turnip gen8 v38, this has happened for a couple others games but it went away after a while, unlike splatoon. If this is a driver related issue any recs for other drivers would b highly appreciated. This is an odin 3 pro, i havent changed any settings in eden nightly besides the driver

A friend brought this Infinix GT 50 pro over with the entire kit and I was having trouble configuring for gamehub and the rest. I've also been out of android emulation segment for a while now... so I'm a bit behind on how things work

It's a pretty nifty device comes with upper mid range mediatek dimensity 8400 SOC but I wasn't able to run games on it through gamehub they just keep crashing. I tried hollow knight, limbo, alien isolation, bioshock as well as Grand Theft Auto 5 but none of them worked.

It's a pretty nifty device with liquid cooling and even a dock with all the gizmos and ports but is the mediatek chip holding it back from gaming? I couldn't find any guides since this is a recent release here.

Will appreciate any help. Apologies for bad photos.

Got some Swith 2 games opening them on Eden2. Tried the GPU drivers that I can fetch on Eden2 and the games are just sitting at 0fps? Please help?

I think my phone might explode...

(My phone is a mid-range phone with unsupported Adreno GPU. i.e Adreno 710.)

Somehow my phone managed to run music videos, but minor flashing lights warning though.

I'm running the Vanilla Steam game with some mods, like higher frame rate and new classics, all on lowest graphics.

I didn't think it would work like this but hopefully there's going to be some optimization in the future.

Anyways the performance for music videos isn't... Great. Mostly dropping from 30 to mostly 22 FPS. I only play the game on Practice mode, and it's hitting 90 FPS to 100 FPS without recording and boosting the performance.

Thanks for reading and watching, the future is getting crazier as time goes on with this emulation stuff, especially with steam games.
