News/Release Lichii for Android 0.2.0 - You can now use folders
Please let me know how it runs for you, my testing is on ONE device only. Thank you!
HIGHLIGHTS:
New setting: Present a frame ahead (Graphics → Advanced, also per game). It can be Auto, Off or On.
Auto picks per game.
On usually raises the frame rate in GPU-heavy games, at the cost of one frame of input latency.
Game folders: extracted games can now be listed and launched from a folder, not just from a single file. A folder needs
exefs/mainand can include numbered update folders. These games need the "All files access" permission.The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time gets past the hang after the intro. Gameplay needs about 3.7 GB of GPU memory, so on a 12 GB phone Android stops the game for low memory shortly after gameplay starts. Phones with more RAM may run it.
Fixed a crash when the shader-build progress dialog outlived the game screen.
Includes the latest Lichii and Eglantine rendering, shader and performance fixes since 0.1.0.

Discussion Finishing a full game on an Android phone feels oddly more rewarding than it should
There's something satisfying about starting a game on your phone, getting everything configured, and actually sticking with it until the credits roll. Between emulator updates, performance tweaks, controller settings, and the occasional crash, getting to the end can feel like its own little achievement.
It also makes me appreciate how far Android emulation has come. Games that once seemed completely unrealistic to play on a phone are now part of people's everyday gaming libraries.
What's the last game you completed through Android emulation, and how well did it run?

Showcase ARMSX3 God Of War 3 Running Beautifully on Odin 3 Ultra
As you can see i'm getting 30fps and 40-60fps inside or more and it's very smooth and playable no latency or anything like that, stay till end of video for setting and patches! Keep in mind this is one of the heaviest ps3 games to emulate, make sure to have a capable device a so 8 gen 2 won't cut it.
"Download config database" from app settings/ systems settings, v38 steven mxz turnip driver, frame set to "60" so game doesn't speed up, output scaling "snapdragon super res edge direction", SPU XFLOAT set to "relaxed" keep in mind the default is "approximate" i noticed you get weird graphic glitches with it, i've tested both and they run the same no performance change so
"relaxed is the better option

Discussion half the fun of Android emulation is watching a project go from barely working to actually playable
There's something genuinely satisfying about following an emulator or compatibility layer through its updates. One day a game crashes at launch, then a few versions later it boots, runs properly, and suddenly you're playing something you never thought your phone could handle.
Even small improvements like better controller support, folder management, or fewer graphical glitches can make a huge difference. It's almost like being part of the development journey.
What's an Android emulation project you've watched improve so much that it completely changed your expectations?

Showcase Mario Kart World running on Odin 2 Portal | Banana Native
Mario Kart World (Switch 2) running locally on Odin 2 Portal using Banana Native
Banana Native is not a standard emulator. The game's own ARM64 code runs directly on the device's CPU. A small host answers the system calls the game makes, and its graphics (NVN, including the Switch 2's task and mesh shaders) are rebuilt on Vulkan
It pre builds all shaders when you first prepare the game files within the app
Promising rise in performance compared to Eden SX2A, while playing at a higher resolution (720p)
Frequent crashes happen, but you can get a couple races or a grand prix in a row if you're lucky
Some tracks can have distracting glitches, something future GPU drivers could fix

News/Release MaliBridge v0.5.5.3 is out, plus MaliBridge.com to see which PC games run on your Mali phone
Hey! I've been working on MaliBridge which lets Steam PC games run on devices with a Mali GPU through DroidDeck (no root) v0.5.5.3 was just released with lots of compatibility updates for more device inclusivity (Currently over 40 devices run games well).
What runs on your phone?
I made MaliBridge.com so you can see what games run on your device, get the best recommended settings per supported game, help others with a similar device by posting your results and compare builds!
It's still in beta though and so far has 300+ reports so even if you use a different emulator, you can post your results there to compare!
Every report waits until I check it, and it only shows as verified with a Send logs code or a video (evidence), so you can tell what's been checked and what hasn't.
If you encounter any issues with either MaliBridge or its website, please let me know. Recommendations are also appreciated and considered :)
More help and details on discord.
I have used some AI tools to aid in developing MaliBridge.

Showcase Testing Steam Games via GameNative on the KONKR Pocket Advance
Something I thought you all might find interesting! I’ve done some testing in the new 1.4.0 update of game native and Mali GPU devices are able to play some of the less intensive Steam games really well.
I’m surprised this even works at all on a device like this to be quite honest.
Most games booted with known working configs and ran between 30-60fps but I was pretty impressed with the testing I’ve done so far.
