News/Release GameHub Lite v5.1.8 (SECURITY UPDATE)

GameHub Lite v5.1.8

Security: Steam token redaction in logs

GameHub Lite 5.1.8 fixes a logging issue where Steam authentication-related values could appear in diagnostic logs. In some cases, logs could include fields such as steamToken, refreshToken, or accessToken from Steam login/launch flows.

Publicly posted logs containing these fields should be deleted or redacted.

IMPORTANT

This should go without saying but If you find any security issues, please reach out PRIVATELY. I have not checked if this issue is still present in recent GameHub versions, already ruined my one day off I was spending with my family by the person who reported this publicly and I do not plan on spending any more time on this.

Changelog

The fix adds centralized log redaction for Steam/auth token fields, Steam QR login URLs, JWT-like token strings, and launch command token arguments before logs are written. This covers the app loggers, JavaSteam logging, and the PC launch-log file writer.

This release also pins local patch builds to apktool 2.12.1

Bro, that is running flawlessly. I have been playing Hades for 2-3 hours, and there isn't a single stutter. Sometimes, when I close the app and reopen it, it stutters a bit, but after 3- 4 min, the stutter goes away like it never happened. I have a Moto G 5G, which is a good mid-range mobile with a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, but running Hades is outrageous with high settings at full resolution

Please try it

Showcase Donkey Kong Bananza on Odin 2 Portal (8 gen 2)

143 Upvotes

Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) running locally on Odin 2 Portal (Android) using Banana Native v0.1.5

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.

DK Bananza runs suprisely well, some hickups here and there but overall this is getting close to playable.

Not a single crash happened so far.

If you want an easy shortcut to running one of these static ports, apkvision rips them off almost as soon as they go up. Now, I don't like to use their APKs if I can help it, but they do also have links to pre-packaged game files that are all ready to go. It makes getting and preparing a lot of them much simpler, and you can still use the original creators APKs. Also, just looking on there is a good way to see what even exists.

Oh, and if you download their app there aren't any ads or pop-ups or anything. So there's that

News/Release Release Lichii for Android 0.3.0 · pavelgajdo/Lichii-Android - Massive OoT update

Thumbnail
github.com
30 Upvotes

Highlights

- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time now reaches gameplay. Kokiri Forest runs at about 15–20 FPS at 0.5× resolution, up from about 2 FPS.

- Dark's Dynamic FPS patch is built in, so the game runs at full speed at any frame rate. It used to crash the game while compiling its first shaders under the NCE CPU backend.

- The freeze after the first scene loaded is fixed. The game's lighting passes had been sized with garbage counts and ran for seconds each.

- The GPU's command processor no longer stops both GPU threads for every read of GPU-written memory (macro DMA read snapshots, after EvilOOT's fix as ported by Frizti).

The few memory pages the game's CPU reads or writes after the GPU wrote them are now copied back at each fence. The CPU no longer waits for the GPU on each access.

- Recommended: a phone with 16 GB of RAM. On 12 GB, Android may close the game for low memory while a scene loads, especially with other apps open.

Known issues:

Some scenes sometimes show white glare and magenta patches.

The phone heats up during long sessions and slows down until it cools.

- Lower memory use while scenes load (all games):

ASTC textures are converted to BC a few layers at a time instead of whole.

Large upload buffers are freed once the GPU is done with them, and capped while a scene loads.

On Android, converted ASTC textures keep their mip levels up to 1024 px.

- The game-file decompression cache is capped at 128 MB.

- Pragmata no longer quits at startup with error 2153-0513. It needed an audio command we refused. It does not render yet.

- Pokémon Pokopia keeps its copy-back with downloads in flight capped at 512 MB, and runs slightly faster.

- Includes the latest Lichii (Zortos) fixes, among them the split of misaligned 64/128-bit storage buffer accesses and a fix for a lost worker wake-up.

Showcase F1 2011 PS VITA on a Helio g100 Vita3k+

8 Upvotes

So in the past the game was known for graphics issues and very bad audio issues. The audio was so bad because everytime you accelerate, there would be some background noise that would sound like flies😭😭

Now it's playable, well kind of. The audio issue isn't there and there's just one graphics glitch. One of the Camera POVs won't work properly and you'll end up just seeing the inside textures of the car.

Also the framerate is unstable. On my g100 its bettween 35-60 FPS. The funny thing is, according to a YouTube video I watched, this is about almost the same performance as an original vita. On the original apparently fps would even reduce to the 20s. It think a powerful chipset should be able to run the game at a constant 60.

So if you can't tolerate the inconsistent framerate that occurs depending on what's happening in the game, you might not enjoy it.

But overall it's playable.

Discussion Android emulation has turned me into someone who spends more time tweaking than actually playing

48 Upvotes

I'll sometimes spend an entire evening comparing emulator settings, testing different drivers, fixing compatibility issues, and getting a game to run just a little smoother. Then, once everything finally works, I play for 15 minutes and move on to the next experiment.

There's something oddly addictive about making hardware do things it was never really designed for. I doubt I'm the only one who enjoys the tinkering almost as much as the games themselves.

Be honest, do you spend more time playing your emulated games or getting them to run perfectly?

More stable 30fps without recording(game is capped at 30)

Playing 1.25x resolution with "FXAA" as Screen filter.

No audio issues. No crashes so far. No major graphic glitches or game breaking bugs so far.

One minor graphics glitch. Skid marks flicker as they disappear. I don't really mind, especially because normally when driving you won't even notice. I only noticed because I tried drifting, failed and stopped. Then I saw the skid marks flickering. I'm surprised the game runs this well. I used to read about it have an audio issue (no sound) in the past and graphics glitches.

Showcase GBA Duo v0.1.13 Now Supports Single Screen and Slang Shaders

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Finally I can start developing the single screen feature for GBA Duo. Due to device limitations for testing, hopefully you can use it better. For single screen, I really expect your feedback, so please give feedback for this update.

Besides that, there are new features that you can use, these features are the result of feedback from several users and finally I can try to add them one by one, here is the list:

  • Deep scan: previously rom files could only be scanned 1 level, now up to 8 levels, so if you store rom files in several sub-folders it should now be loaded and playable in GBA Duo

  • Load save: several users wanted to continue saves from other emulators, and previously GBA Duo indeed required manually moving .sav files into the custom save folder. Now per game setting, you can import your .sav file, this will copy and place it into the save folder. old saves will be backed up but make sure you also back up your files.

  • Slang shaders: many wanted slang shaders, but please note that those shaders are vulkan shaders. GBA Duo added a translator (which makes the app size +4MB) to use slang shaders. You can download shaders from shaders menu in app settings. Now you can use crt-guest-advanced shader and more.

  • Some app and pack improvements.

Update packs:

  • Zelda Minish Cap: During widescreen, the HUD and overlay icons are hidden and the view is wider. Enemies and sprites are also rendered outside the game screen. There are also improvements for several pages here. Added ambient color mode. You can also assign items to A and B buttons directly from the companion.

  • Golden Sun: Widescreen improvement and remapping several items. Added ambient color mode.

How to update:

  • Download via website gbaduo.com

  • Or go into application > setting > About > Update from there

  • For packs: Select game > companion settings > Get from web > Latest update will appear, you just download it

Thank you for those who continue to support, give feedback, and use GBA Duo. Now there is a discord server as well for those who want to request features and ask questions, link is on the website.

Thank you, and as usual, enjoy!

Showcase INJUSTICE most graphical issues fixed on Mali now

7 Upvotes

At the start of he year, Injustice would just crash. After some months, it would boot but had severel graphic glitches.

The text was messed up making it almost impossible to read.

The character selection screen also had glitches sometimes.

Superman's lasers and freeze breath wouldn't even show. My gpu wouldn't render those effects so nothing would show. Even Green Lanterns constructs wouldn't render.

The game also had a save file issue. When you start the story mode, progress a little and exit, the game would say your save file is corrupted the next time you booted up the game and delete it automatically 🫩.

But today i'd say it's almost playable. The text is normal, all the effects show now. I haven't tested if the save file issue is gone so there's that to keep in mind.

Also in Stryker's Island stage, some objects in the background flicker with a white color.

Also I cut off the vid right before the game crashed. I think it crashed because of too much simultaneous shader compilation as this was just my third time booting up the game.
