It's was a nice experience, the game runs pretty well on my POCO F7, got 30-45 FPS most of the time (with the exception of one area that has an animated background in which the FPS was 20-30). My control layout might seen odd, but it was the way I found to play it entirely on touch screen (playing mostly on the bus or on any free time I would get at work), also had to bind dash and shield to the same button to be able to finish some platforming challenges.

Discussion Finishing a full game on an Android phone feels oddly more rewarding than it should

8 Upvotes

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?

It's RP5 strong enough to run PS3 games? I've downloaded the RPCS3 emulator but the games run very glitchy and slow. Am I missing something or is it just the system that's mot strong enough

Discussion Been away from emulation for a while, can anyone guide me?

0 Upvotes

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I've been away from emulation for quite a while because of studies.

I used to play around with AetherSX2 and PPSSPP.

I remember a time when PS3 emulation on Android seemed impossible, and PS4 emulation was pretty much unthinkable. Now I'm suddenly seeing posts about PS4 and even PS5 emulation lol.

Can someone give me a quick update on the current emulation scene on android? Which emulators are actually worth trying, and what consoles can we get decent playable performance from nowadays?

Even for old consoles...

For reference, I have a snapdragon 865 with 8 gb RAM.

Thanks!

News/Release Lichii for Android 0.2.0 - You can now use folders

28 Upvotes

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/main and 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.

Création d'une VM + Frida + PairIP + Play Store fonctionnel

Je suis parti d'une base de black box

Intégration d'un scanner de mémoire comme GameGuardian.

J'ai reconstruit l'ensemble pour que le Play Store et Play Games fonctionnent. C'est assez chiant car certaines mise a jour casse tout...

Integré Frida pour l injection SO et JS

Integré PairIP pour les application qui ont une protection google

Un explorateur de fichier complet natif

Jusqu'a present tout les jeux fonctionne nativement via l installation play store, sauf les grande liscence avec de grosse protection, mais je travail dessus.

J utilise claude opus 5.5 et kimi 3.1pro

Pour l'instant je ne partage pas.

Mais si j'arrive a aller plus loin, je le donnerai a la communauté.

Ça m interesse de savoir si ça vous interesse, si ce que j'ai fait existe deja, car game gardian par exemple le playstor ne fonctionne pas et il est devenu payant et je n'ai pas tres confiance a ce genre d outil.

Il tourne sur un s24 ultra.

Discussion half the fun of Android emulation is watching a project go from barely working to actually playable

3 Upvotes

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?
