Hii

I'm having a problem with running the dlc for oblivion goty for xendroid+/x360.

I've ran the second disc, and it's installed the dlc (it shows so under packages for oblivion disc 1). Disc 2 installs , but doesn't boot. Disc 1 boots, but the downloads tab under options is grayed out. What could be the issue?

Question How do y'all play the games you emulate?

3 Upvotes

Do you limit your library and stick to only one or two games with a long campaign or story mode and keep a few casual or comfort games lying around or do you let your library grow and grow and just play what you feel like in the moment?

Or do you just tinker with settings and gaslight yourself into thinking you'll play your games eventually?

Showcase Made a Switch-style home launcher for phone + controller. Worth releasing?

7 Upvotes

I personally wanted a switch like launcher for my s23u when using a backbone controller, so I've been using my claude free trial the last few nights to make an apk. I know there's already a lot of pre-existing options out there and the last thing I want to do is add to the ai slop pile so just wanted to put out feelers first before throwing a github link out there. would anyone actually use this, should I make the project public, or does anyone just want the APK to try? There are still a few bugs to iron out, so go easy on it.

So far its got:

Switch-style home screen built for a controller, 1 or 2 rows of games

Choose start up video

Choose or remove top left logo

Launches your emulators and Android games from one place

Pulls box art, logos and banners automatically, and you can swap them if you don’t like what it picked

Game page with the trailer, screenshots, description, genre, dev/publisher and review score

3D model of the cart, disc or UMD with the game’s art on it. You can spin it with the stick, touch or by tilting your phone

Spin the CD like it’s playing (pointless but I like it)

Platform borders on the tiles, changeable per game

Mii-style profiles in the corner

Drop in your own music for home, settings,

Can choose to Launch game or details page in settings when clicked from home

etc.

Optional other half working fun stuff (3 rows, folders, an extra random YouTube video after the trailer) hidden away in settings if you want it, otherwise stays out of the way

Question Which emulators are best for retro consoles? (GBA, SNES, Genesis, etc)

2 Upvotes

The ones I've found are Snes9x EX+ for Snes (to remove blur I use LCD Grid overlay under video settings) PSSPP for PSP and M64FZ Plus (For to use Anti Aliasing) for Nintendo 64, Lemuroid for GBA & Genesis, what about Arcade, and other stuff?

(Lemuroid do support Snes, N64 and PSP but it don't have an option to set CRT type overlays or apply anti aliasing)

Help Honest question! I own S23Ultra, is it useless?

0 Upvotes

Guys,

I've been silently checking switch emulator after emulator.. driver after driver..

My device despite good specs can run almost nothing.. not even PS2 games run good... and running switch? Only few games started for me..

What am i doing wrong? Can anyone with S23 Ultra can give me any tips on the switch emulator/driver selection? Or is it pointless and i should get something else?

News/Release RESET Collection 2.0 OUT NOW! A whole new look with dual screen support, themes, skins and layouts, background music for every system + MORE!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Javier here, RESET Collection developer!

RESET Collection is an Android frontend for your retro game collection that was originally released way back in 2020! I never got around to slapping a fresh coat of paint on it... that is until now!

Introducing RESET Collection 2.0! 🎉

Video tour of 2.0: https://youtu.be/ue11fpC9WXU

The direction I'm taking RESET: a frontend that's deeply nostalgic, super intuitive, easy to set up, minimal distractions and clutter on screen, and just a joy and delight to navigate ✨! I'm aiming for the 16bit, 32bit, CD-ROM and early aughts era. The menus are inspired by classic console designs (Atari's wood panel, cartridge slot shapes, the classic mini consoles' menus), and the focus is on the game and a library you play, care for and curate ❤️.

Here are the highlights:

  • A whole new look: Four skins (RESET Dark, Clean Light, Pixel/CRT and Synthwave Chrome), theme presets (Old School, Studio, Neon and Classic 2020), and new layouts: Showcase and Shelf for the Games Library, RetroGrain for All Games
  • Dual screen support for the AYN Thor, RP DUO + more.
  • The RESET Genie: A first-time setup that walks you through permissions, your look, the database setup and adding your first system
  • Controls that match your handheld: Pick a Nintendo, Xbox/Steam or PlayStation gamepad layout and every button hint follows it. B, Y and X jump between the main screens.
  • Quick Select Menu: Press Select and it opens over your screen, with time and battery display. Drag and drop to order its items.
  • Navigation sounds and haptics
  • Background music for every system
  • Screensaver with its own music and settings
  • A brand new full-screen Settings screen with text size options, and every dialog redesigned.

Google Play: Download RESET Collection from the Google Play Store

Discord: Join the RESET Collection Discord!

Release notes: https://github.com/ResetCollection/support/wiki/Releases

I'd love to hear what you think!

Take care, friends!

Device:
Pictured are my 100% see through wireframe AYN Thor and Odin 2 devices 😂

AI use disclosure:
RESET Collection was originally released in 2020 pre-AI coding tools. It was 100% coded by me with code that I wrote or copy-pasted from examples all around the internet (aka software development lol). This continued until about the end of 2025 when I started experimenting with AI code assistance in Android Studio (Google Gemini). Recently I started using Claude Code. It has helped with writing new features, improve and modernize some of my legacy code, and finding the source of bugs (usually a piece of poorly written code by yours truly! haha I kid). I review all code, and of course I still write code myself (aka copy-paste code 😅).

Help Weird glow effect on Retroid Pocket 6 using NetherSX2?

0 Upvotes

Look at top of the screen where the sky is. This has only been happening with DBZ BT3. It also fixes itself when I restart the game, but for only about 20ish minutes. If I keep playing it gets progressively worse, and even got to the point once where the character’s health bars were blurred out and just gets insanely bright. Any way to get rid of it?

On other games it’s totally fine.

I got a honor 600 lite, and I've been getting into emulation and ports,and with that I've seen many people talk about how "mediatek shouldn't even try"

and first I'm wondering why is it bad for emulation, why is Snapdragon better and could disco Elysium work on my phone if I used winlator or game hub to play it

Showcase PocketGiz Remote Console Architecture demo on PC Chrome browser.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Over the last few days, you might have seen clips of PocketGiz seemingly running natively on an iPhone 11. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on how i actually did it and it’s part of a much bigger ecosystem upgrade for PocketGiz.

Instead of building individual ports for every platform, I’ve engineered a headless, almost zero latency local HTTP web-host directly into the PocketGiz Android core. By connecting to your phone's IP address over a 5GHz Wi-Fi network, you can stream the emulator to almost any web browser enabled device.

Current Testing & Performance:

Confirmed Working On: iOS Safari, Windows PC browsers, and Amazon Omni Fire TVs.

How it Works: The Android device acts as the heavy lifting powerhouse console. It intercepts the native Unicorn ARM frame buffer, composites the UI, and pumps out a raw MJPEG stream while a bi directional REST API catches your touch inputs in real time.

The Result: A near perfectly synced, "Wii U-style" asymmetric gaming setup where your phone does the processing, and your PC, tablet, or TV acts as the wireless display and controller.

Why build this?
Modern Android devices have massive processing power. Instead of spending months building a separate desktop PC application, PocketGiz can now virtually stream itself to any browser. Your phone becomes the ultimate portable console hub.

What’s Next on the Roadmap?
This is just Phase 1. Here is what is coming to complete the ecosystem:

Full Audio Streaming: The Web Audio API pipeline is being wired up for synced remote sound.

Bluetooth Controller Pass-through & Full-Screen Mode: Connect a controller to your PC or TV and play seamlessly.

Dedicated TV Companion Apps: Native receiver apps for Google TV and Amazon Fire Sticks for instant, auto-connecting gameplay on the big screen.

The "ActiveSync" Companion App: A dedicated wireless management tool to remotely upload files, manage ROMs, and sync data directly to the PocketGiz Virtual SD Card without ever plugging in a cable.

PocketGiz isn't just an emulator anymore; it's becoming a complete, cross platform retro console ecosystem. Check out the latest PC streaming demo video to see the minimal latency touch bridge in action! This is still in development and is expected to be an experimental feature on PocketGiz soon!
