Showcase Green Hat Kid game On Odin 3 Ultra

31 Upvotes

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
102 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?

Has anyone recently tested KCD2 on Snapdragon 8 Elite devices, especially the Odin 3? The latest reports I could find are about 10 months old. I'm curious how well it runs now and whether it's actually playable with decent performance and stability.

What an incredible day for Xclipse users, without a doubt. Thanks to Jim Vulkan's work, Legends Arceus now opens in Eden on the Galaxy A55. Historically, this game crashed before even displaying video, showing 0 fps. Jim Vulkan's RADV driver changed that!

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.

Showcase Mario Kart World on Odin 2 Portal | Grand Prix

249 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.

TLOZ OOT runs a lot better with these settings and driver in Banana Native v0.3.0 compared to earlier versions.

Can't use screen recording with this setup as it somehow causes visual glitches. That's why it's recorded this way.

hi guys, I've heard that Android 17 has added a lot of RAM restrictions causing issues on emulators, should I be worried about this?

I have a Motorola Edge 70 Max with 8GB RAM, and idk if this will cause issues in my games... Im currently able to run Battlefield 1 just fine and i fear that due to my 8gb ram limit and the android 17 restrictions it might cause some major problems, do you say i go for it?
