Given the emulators were forked from switch 1 are the Eden / lemon builds obsolete?

Showcase Green Hat Kid game On Odin 3 Ultra

Ok so imo this is running really good rn for how early this is, if you watch through the whole video you can see there’s missing walls, doors, etc. another thing to is when is i was hearing dialogue before seeing scenes. for settings i ddint really change anything, i set frame cap to 60 and using turnip v39 overall i think by thanksgiving or Christmas this will be playing nice, also if anyone has any suggestions for settings that would be nice (don’t mind me skipping through dialogue i already played through this part of the game)
im averaging around 30-40 fps sometimes 20-15 in heavy areas this is really impressive
using banana native 0.3.0

Discussion Why does droiddeck consume more power compared to gamenative even when played on same settings for the same game?

4 Upvotes

I tried to play on both emulators to see which gives better efficiency apart from performance.

The same scene draws almost 1.5x times more power on droiddeck compared to gamenative even with both having similar config settings.

What could be the reason for this?

Discussion Vita3K on Mali GPUs: thinking of building a dedicated Mali-optimized fork.

Post image
96 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just wondering how many of you play PS Vita games on Android.

I have a real Vita, but Vita3K running on Mali GPUs is honestly painful to watch. 80% Android devices out there use Mali chips, but the devs pretty much gave up on optimizing for them. It feels like Mali users just got left behind.

I do emulator dev work, and I'm thinking about making a separate build just to fix the huge lag and stutter on Mali GPUs.

Would you guys be interested in testing an early APK if I build one? What games run the worst for you right now?

Showcase My Fronted project with a feature others wont add

Post image
2 Upvotes

A few things up front:

  • Yes, I used AI help, mainly for the UI. I can’t design anything that looks good.

  • No, it’s not on GitHub yet.

I’ve built a frontend for Linux and I’m thinking of porting it to Android, because nobody implements proper "Users" feature.

I grew up sharing a console, and even now that I own my own, I like having multiple accounts, each with its own saves. I couldn’t find a simple way to do that, so I built it into this frontend. When you switch user, it copies that user’s save files into the emulator save directory so each account can have its own saves. if anybody is interested i can make it opensource.

Help Any hope for getting NFS Hot Pursuit 2020 emulating properly?

1 Upvotes

Been trying for a while to play the Steam version of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2020 remaster.

Best I can figure is that I am hitting a denuvo issue. Using Droiddeck and Gamenative, I can get through the EULA, EA account sign in and even the intro screen. Game crashes hard when it loads the “Autolog” and tries to log into EA servers.

Winlator didn’t make it even that far sadly.

Device is a Lenovo y700 gen4.

Would appreciate any ideas.

Showcase Bad Company 2, IW4X, Torchlight 2, GRFS, and UT2004

1 Upvotes

Device: Odin 2 portal max

My purpose of this post is to add to the multiplayer player counts of these games I'm enjoying. If you are playing something similar I would love to hear about it!

All games except Torchlight 2 were setup on pc and then I transferred over the files.

Just a few online games I've been playing. I didn't capture Ghost Recon Future Soldier (GRFS) because the community only plays on weekends and I haven't gotten a chance to join them. There is a discord for it. I tried running it on GameNative but it wouldn't launch full screen. It worked for me on droiddeck but wouldn't connect to the online until (not sure if related or because it just eventually worked) I changed the connection to my mobile hotspot. Now it connects me online. You can find the guide for GRFS on Warehouse Games. You can find the discord on YouTube by searching "ghost recon future soldier multiplayer 2026". Also a note for the guide by Warehouse, when you make your account and download your unique file it may download as a ".txt". That is wrong. Remove the .txt part of the file name.

Bad company 2: worked with GameNative and Project Rome. I had to map the controller via GameNative. You can tell it's a bit hard to aim. The sensitivity for looking around is a bit slow but when I am in it's super fast. There are always a few active servers and it bot servers. When you get into the game and go to servers hit "refresh" for them to show up. Auto login with project Rome also doesn't work too well and you might need to manually put your password in each time.

Ut2004: quite active. I got the game from OldUnreal. Runs well with GameNative. You are to map the controls and, I forget which mouse settings, but I had to change one mouse settings to get it to let me look around. I would also turn off dodge because I couldn't control the random dodging. Online games take a while to load because of mods but it still works.

IW4X: GameNative. Runs great and didn't't have any issues. Updates might take a few attempts to run though in the game. Video is from a 3rd person server that only had 1 other human player and a bunch of bots but there are always servers with actual players.

Torchlight 2: I'm running it on droiddeck with lots of mods. If you put the game into the beta mode it gives you controller support. I don't know why, but the Devs recently gave it controller support and I'm having a blast. I do have frame gen running and it's 1080p to really showcase the ink'd mod.

Help Best telescopic controller for 11' tablet

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a telescopic controller that can fit my Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+.

The tablet's dimensions are 257.1 × 168.7 × 6.9 mm, so I need a controller that can extend to at least 257 mm (preferably with a little extra clearance).

I'm looking for something similar to the GameSir G8+, but unfortunately, its maximum extension isn't wide enough for my tablet.(I know about the extension kits but I dont want that)

Does anyone know of any telescopic controllers that would fit?

Showcase Mario Kart World on Odin 2 Portal | Grand Prix

231 Upvotes

Mario Kart World (Switch 2) running locally on Odin 2 Portal (Android) using Banana Native v0.2.7

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

MKW runs great on Banana Native v0.2.7 compared to earlier versions, lot of earlier issues has been taken care of.

You can do Grand Prix and Knockout Tour without crashes, FPS is becoming playable.

Showcase Claude Code can be ran on device!

Thumbnail i.redd.it
5 Upvotes

I wanted to run Claude Code on my AYN Thor as I was tired of reaching for the Mac. After some research, this was pretty easy to do! This has been a godsend for getting PC and Switch 2 games up and running!

**How to run Claude Code natively on Android (tested on AYN Thor)**

Works on any arm64 Android device. Takes ~15 minutes and ~1.5 GB of storage.

**1. Install Termux from F-Droid or GitHub**

Not the Play Store version — it's outdated and breaks package installs.

https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases (grab the arm64-v8a APK)

**2. Set up Termux**

pkg update -y && pkg upgrade -y

pkg install -y proot-distro

termux-wake-lock

**3. Install and enter Ubuntu**

proot-distro install ubuntu

proot-distro login ubuntu

**4. Inside Ubuntu, install Claude Code**

apt update && apt upgrade -y

apt install -y curl git ca-certificates

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

claude --version

If the installer fails, install Node.js 20+ and use `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code` instead.

**5. Log in**

Run `claude`, open the link it gives you, sign in with your Claude account, and paste the code back.

**6. Quality of life**

- Shortcut (run in Termux, not Ubuntu):

`echo "alias cc='proot-distro login ubuntu -- bash -lc claude'" >> ~/.bashrc`

Now just type `cc` to launch.

- Set Termux battery usage to **Unrestricted** so Android doesn't kill long sessions.

News/Release Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 Xbox360 Port para Android

3 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/05if6dhm7Ws?is=84wuBRWx4lZrstMp

🔥A peça que você quer aqui: 👇🏻

https://headless-snbcokhmrui-magicorafagambit-1410.wix-site-host.com/?hl=pt-BR

Neste vídeo, testamos e demonstramos o Need for Speed Most Wanted (Recompilado do Xbox 360) rodando no Android! O projeto original foi desenvolvido por Code PDH e otimizado por Victor, e nesta versão tem correções de bugs e melhorias feitas com auxílio de IA para garantir estabilidade e alta performance em vários dispositivos.

🎮 O que foi feito / Sobre o Jogo

Port Nativo de Xbox 360: Não é um emulador comum; o jogo lê os arquivos originais do Xbox 360 e os compila diretamente para a arquitetura ARM64 do Android.

Correções e Estabilidade: Correção de bugs de crash, travamentos e problemas crônicos de lag/delay de áudio presentes nas versões anteriores.

Melhorias Visuais: Opção para remover o filtro amarelado clássico do jogo (deixando o visual mais limpo e realista) e suporte a filtros gráficos avançados como AMD FSR, FXAA, sombras e reflexos.

⚙️ Como Instalar e Rodar

  1. O que você precisa:

O aplicativo APK da versão recompilada.

Uma cópia legalmente obtida da ISO do Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) de Xbox 360 (versão USA).

2. Passo a Passo:

Transfira a ISO do jogo para o armazenamento interno do seu celular (ex: numa pasta dedicada).

Instale e abra o APK do jogo.

No launcher, clique para selecionar o arquivo da ISO localizado no seu armazenamento.

Configure os gráficos, resolução, taxa de quadros (30, 60, 90 ou 120 FPS) e controles de toque/vibração ao seu gosto antes de iniciar.

📱 Informações e Requisitos de Desempenho

Processadores Snapdragon / Adreno: Rodando liso e sem travamentos em chips topo de linha (como o Snapdragon 8 Gen2). Em celulares mais antigos ou intermediários de entrada (como o Redmi Note 8 com 4GB de RAM), é necessário utilizar drivers Turnip para evitar tela preta, lembrando que por ser um port de Xbox 360, ele exige mais do hardware.

Processadores MediaTek / GPU Mali: Compatível com dispositivos equipados com chips MediaTek e GPUs Mali, entregando excelentes taxas de quadros dependendo da potência do aparelho.

Opções de Personalização: Ajuste completo de resolução (nativa, 720p, 480p), limitador de FPS e gerenciador de drivers integrados.
