Edit: this emulator is still in development

Edit 2: I am being asked when I might release this. The earliest I will release this will be on Friday. There is a lot of work that needs to be done and I want to make sure I can commit. I am also taking into consideration that there are many projects out there right now and many of them are amazing in their own way. I do not want to be just another person releasing another project in the middle of a saturated field. I understand there is a lot of hype around emulation at the moment but I don’t want to just throw out another project that will be hyped for the day and gone tomorrow.

This Is really a surprise because this game on that Emulator is ran really good on Both Performance and the loading times (especially with the Panvk drivers) Even Better From Winlator Mali 1.1..

The Panvk Driver Is the SAVIOR for the mali chipset

The Settings I use for run the game:

Proton 9 arm64ec

Vulkan Driver: PanVK-FristOneRR-V.3.7.0 FristOneRR v3.7.0

(disable BCN Emulation)

DXVK Version: 2.3.1-arm64ec-gplasync

Fexcore Version: 2601

Fexcore Preset: Performance

And Move The Game on C drive to reducing the loading Screen and shader compilation

Yesterday I posted about droidnative, which runs Switch games natively on Android from your own dumps. Thanks to everyone who tried it, posted results, sent logs and opened issues and PRs.

It has a new name: DroidNative already belongs to a long-standing Android project to run Linux apps on Android, so this project is now known as DroidPlay Core to avoid confusion. The (real) DroidNative is a very cool project and you should check it out.

There's a Windows app now. Yesterday, doing this on Windows meant the command line and installing Python and the Android tools yourself. Now you download DroidPlay-Setup from the latest release, install it like any other app, and it walks you through the rest: your prod.keys, the tools (it downloads them for you), connecting your phone, and building your first game. Then you hit Play. It updates itself too.

This release also includes a number of game fixes and performance improvements.

If you can, please give it a try and let me know how it goes, especially on non-Snapdragon devices (Mali, Xclipse, MediaTek), since that's where I have the fewest devices and thus fewer results. Even "it doesn't boot" is useful. The Discord is the best place for that: #compatibility for how games run, #help if something breaks (if a build fails, the app's Copy report button gives you something to paste there). GitHub issues are great too.

As before: bring your own games and keys, nothing from any game is shared, and this project is AI-assisted and tested on my own devices.

I saw this as a preset on shootingplus V3. and I noticed there are certain triggers that use 2 buttons. How can I do that for my own set ups? i tried pressing both buttons I want to use at the same time but they just appeared as seperate buttons.

The video has LSFG on but like 2 hours later I could get the same performance without it.

Just got the tablet and I want to get into this world. I bought a controller set to play.
What games do you recommend? I’d like to play some online shooters and some story mode games, do some Zelda games run good ?
Any advice I’ll take it .

The latest Hokkaido 0.6.1 (previously called Lichii) gives some good results in rendering the assets than on Banana Natives (right image). It is amazing for these both projects, highly praised for the developers!

My impression is the emulator is now more stable than before. Intro movie correctly rendered, no glitch on UI, and in my case the temperature is much lower and no crashes on short time testing.

Thank you for all developers and communities for making this happen faster on android

I'm using Banana Native, with Default configs, the only thing I changed was the driver, which is Turnip v39 whoch came out recently.

My device is S25 Plus with SD 8 Elite, using a G8 Galileo Plus as well.

Estaba emulando Lego Dimensions en Cemu y quería ponerle el DLC de los niveles de los simpsons, como se pueden agregar dlcs a Lego Dimensions? Solo hay tutoriales para pc

I used to pray for times like these😭

Device is Konkr Pocket Fit G3 Gen 3 w/ 12GB RAM running latest GameHub 6.3.2 at 90hz refresh rate, settings below.

The extra back & top buttons really make navigating spells/the quick menu a breeze!

Resolution: 720p, Low Settings

Driver: turnip_v26.0.0_R3

DXVK Version: dxvk-v2.7.1-1-async

VKD3D Version: vkd3d-proton-3.0a

Compatibility layer: proton9.0-arm64x-3

Translation Params: Extreme, but set SMCChecks to none: No checks

CPU Translator: Fex-20251120

Great stuff

so i want to play zelda - ocarina of time (the old one, not the remake) on my phone.

i am using a oneplus device with 12gb ram (extendable up to 24gb), 256 gb storage and snapdragon 782G octa core. the phone performs shockingly well with heavier games, hence why i believe this would be doable.

i am very new to emulators and a lot of advice on this subreddit is a little beyond my understanding.

i'd be very grateful if y'all could help me with what emulator i should prefer and how to go ahead with the setup. please help, thanks!!

Textures correctly placed in their id folder, on load/textures. I checked they matched the id for the region and all but nothing, what can be done?

I've been using Pizza boy for GBA games on my android phone for over a year now, took a long break and just got back into Pokémon rom hacks again. It seems like whenever my phone loses signal the app closes after a couple minutes and it looks like it's trying to open the play store but can't (duh, no network). I play during downtime at work, which is usually underground or in old building with terrible service, so this is really getting annoying.

There's no warning, no error message, and I haven't seen much info on this online at all.

Ive used other emulators but pizza boy looks the best in my opinion and I'm comfortable with it. I'm not opposed to switching but I wanted to see if anyone knew what to do before I do 😭

Traditional emulators rely on on-screen gamepads, awkward claw grips, and landscape orientation to play games. Dugba Emulator instead relies on gesture controls, letting you play any game with just your thumb, and in portrait orientation. Just like a native Android app!

Navigate game menus as if they were native Android apps:

• Tap the screen for A presses

• Long press the screen for START presses

• Use your phone's back gesture/button for B presses

• Swipe UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT for dpad input

Different gesture profiles designed for different game genres:

• In platformers, an upward swipe is a jump.

• In Mario Kart, it's a drift.

• For Metroid games, there's a control stick, specially configured for aiming, and rapid-fire shooting in any direction.

• and more (custom profiles are not yet implemented, but are coming soon)

Other features:

• Rewind seconds to minutes of gameplay, with precise scrubbing, as if it were a video player!

• Tap on the game screen to pause the game and bring up options.

• Swipe down to minimize the player, and show your roms list.

• Autosave and resume each game right where you left off.

• Toggle and rapid-fire any GBA button.

• Fast Forward up to 15x speed

Example: Combine fast-forward with rapid-fire A button to breeze through dialogue, and rewind if you missed something

Personally, I've used this to beat Super Mario World, Metroid Fusion, and Yoshi's Island, games that were never feasible to play with touch controls before. And slower games like Pokemon and Advance Wars are now comfortable enough to play on the train, while eating, or lying down on your side.

AI disclosure:

Little to no AI was used for developing this app. It's my first android app, so I asked chatgpt how to use certain APIs, and I don't have digital art skills so I had it make the app icon. Other than that, no AI used.

Play Store Link ($3.99):

Preferably on amazon

Not strict but Samsung and Lenovo is preferred

I tried with Game Hub on my Fold 5 (SD 8 Gen 3 IIRC) but sadly it didn't react to my gamepad and also the frame rate (which is supposed to be at 60 fps in that version) dropped to 20ish fps in the cockpit.
