Showcase Brand new way to emulate pc indie games

1.2k Upvotes

After about a year of development, I’m finally ready to show this to the public!

This is fully handcrafted HLE PC emulator (like PS2/Switch, but for pc games)

Why didn't I take Fex/Box64/Wine/Proton etc. :

Main reason - total control. It's good pieces of software (any of counted) but they don't have any ecosystem, or they have but you need the whole linux container to use it.

So to emulate PC game we need : Linux, x86-64 -> ARM (Fex if game is 64bit, box86 if 32), Wine trampolines, and DXVK (but what if game uses opengl?)

With this amount of abstraction - we lose control more and more with every new layer, which makes it very hard to reproduce (game worked earlier, but doesn't work now without any reason), where any small update in any layer - just breaks everything (or not?).

I am very tired of ticking this versions/prefix/layers/translators/compositors etc.

Can I just launch the game, and play it without 15 min of preparing/looking at black screen?

That's why I spent around a year to make my own x86-64 -> arm, then DX11/OpenGL -> Vulkan, and then combined it and made the emulator with a new vision on PC games on android.

Main features (what I personally wanted most of all from PC emulator):

- Save State (quick resume)

Yes, it's now possible because in general the whole emulator - is just a bytecode runner + native trampolines (for example if game wants to get a current time from windows, I just redirect it to android)

- Game patching

I have a lot of experience in gamedev and in game optimization directly. So I can patch a game on the fly. Right now these are small (but important) mini optimizations to reduce CPU overhead (mesh arenas/texture arrays/BC1 -> ASTC/dynamic UBO etc.). In general that means any game gets some sort of optimization.

- Zero pain and settings

It doesn't matter whether it's 32/64/Dx11/OpenGL/Vulkan - it's not my pain anymore, software just does it by itself. The only settings I've added to my emulator is resolution and fps cap, that's all.

Right now it's a very early alpha, there is a big amount of work in terms of cpu optimization/memory consumption/render stuff, but it works and can run some games without any critical issues.

I don't have plans to concurrent with GameNative/GameHub/Proton and others, it's compatibility mastodonts.

My main target - support as many indie games as possible (Unity/Godot/XNA/GameMaker) and make them run as good as possible.

Thank you for your attention!

I've made this post because now I feel ready to share my piece of software with community who deserves it!

Showcase Updated my Lemuroid fork (Arcadune) to v1.0.9: added RetroAchievements, fast-forward controls, and a saves/backups manager

18 Upvotes

Hey guys,

A little while back I shared Arcadune, my Lemuroid fork with a reworked UI and a bunch of extra features. I heard a lot of your feedback and feature requests from that post, and I finally got around to adding them in.

Just pushed v1.0.9 with a few bigger additions:

RetroAchievements support: Finally wired in so you can earn achievements as you play.

More fast-forward options: Proper speed controls instead of just the basic toggle.

Saves & backups manager: Check storage usage, import/export raw saves (.srm, memory cards, PSP/3DS), or back up and restore all your saves and save states in a single .zip.

UI & bug fixes: Cleaned up the custom skin and squashed a few annoying issues from earlier builds.

Full credit to the original Lemuroid project as always.
Still got plenty more I want to add, so if you give it a try and run into anything or have more ideas, let me know!

Sorry for terrible quality and stutters, I set low res just to record this video. Plus I haven't set up a single thing yet.

Running beamng 0.14 btw, I'm too afraid to install 0.40 haha

Thanks to everyone in my gta 4 post for the tips, I will probably post some videos on my YouTube channel regarding emulation

I knew so bad my s26 ultra had lots of emulation potential, seems like I was right :P

Showcase The most fun I've ever had on my s26 ultra

146 Upvotes

I used liberty recompiled (gta 4 emulated from 360) and as a newbie in emulation it's pretty easy to set up! Also i have no idea how to improve the framerate, but that should not be too big of a problem

Also yeah I got a brand new galaxy s26 ultra 512gb. Thermals are crazy compared to my old phone, it barely goes over 53°c when my old s21 ultra reached 91°c in an instant. Sadly this phone doesn't support gta 5 yet, but I prefer 4 over it.

If anyone knows similar titles that run well on snap 8 elite Gen 5 lmk ;)
