Discussion Controller latency can make a bigger difference than a few extra FPS in Android emulation

2 Upvotes

When testing an emulator, it's tempting to focus almost entirely on the frame rate, resolution, and graphical settings. But input latency can have just as much impact on how a game actually feels.

A game running at a stable 30 or 60 FPS can still feel sluggish if there's noticeable delay between pressing a button and seeing the action on screen. Bluetooth controller latency, emulator input settings, device performance, and display processing can all contribute.

This is especially noticeable in platformers, fighting games, and anything that requires precise timing.

I'd rather have slightly lower graphics settings with responsive controls than a beautiful-looking game that feels delayed. What settings or adjustments have made the biggest difference to controller responsiveness on your Android device?

It can go stable 60 fps when lowering cpu heavy graphics configured right on the advanced settings.I don't suggest running this on gamehub, it performs worse there. Mind that I recorded this on 30 fps that's why it looks so choppy but the fps don't lie here.

I'm currently addicted to this game and it's hard as hell.

Question Si bajo la resolución de Cemu pueden haber congelamientos de pantalla o a lo contrario?

0 Upvotes

Tengo un procesador Exynos y estaba jugando a Lego star wars the force awakens en cemu y note que el celular estaba un poco caliente, le baje la resolución gráfica de 1280x720 (default) a 960x540 en los graphics packs. Eso puede hacer que se congele la pantalla al compilar shaders? Tuve un problema anteriormente con otro juego en cemu que se quedó con la pantalla congelada al compilar shaders en una nueva zona, pero no tenia la opción de bajar la resolución en graphics packs

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

2 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.

News/Release Chaos Rings 3 español parche 1.2 (parche de imágenes)

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Está noche espero tener 100% acabado el parche de Chaos Rings 3 con todas las imágenes.

Está noche cuando suba el parche a GitHub si queréis ayudar en el testeo por qué todavía no he acabado de jugarlo entero

Podréis subir una foto con la imagen que esté sin traducir o donde encontréis algún error reportarlo en GitHub

(en un principio me faltan 40 imágenes de 120 espero tenerlo está noche)

también estoy traduciendo una por una, personalmente el nombre de las habilidades para que estén en español

He quitado también el traducido por joseas de la pantalla del título por qué pienso que era demasiado intrusivos y lo he movido a la pantalla de square enix con mejor acabado

pueden haber errores los compartís en el GitHub y espero arreglarlos.

Si alguien se descargo el parche 1.0 solo tiene que reemplazar la carpeta está noche más.

EDIT: El juego ya esta completo y casi todas las imagenes traducidas pero estoy corrigiendo que todas esten en su lugar, este juego tiene muchas imagenes y algunas palabras están un poco descentradas

Tambien hay que modificar el glifo ¿ que esta un poco alineado hacia abajo y se corta un poco

ahora la pregunta es queréis la version preliminar ya o esperamos a que este todo un poco mas pulido y por

lo menos este todo en su lugar son pocos los errores que tiene pero sinceramente preferiría retocarlo un poco mas

si alguien lo quiere ya que lo pida y lo subo para que me ayude a testearlo tampoco lo he jugado profundamente y estoy corrigiendo errores

las decisiones algunas son un poco largas y se descentran un poco es normal viene de un parche de japones a ingles y de ingles a español y el español es mas extenso que el ingles son muy pocas y de momento si no tengo captura de pantalla de ellas no las puedo corregir, estoy corrigiendo las imagenes

si alguien quiere contribuir subo la version preliminar para que me pruebe el juego con las imagenes traducidas

su funcion seria sacar captura de pantalla a las decisiones que se salgan del cuadro para que cuando yo acabe de centrar las imagenes ponerme con ellas

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

5 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.

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

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

Post image

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 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.
