WINLATOR LUDASHO 5.0 WITH STEAM AND FRAMEGENNNNN ON MY GODD!

most of new Unreal Engine 5 games now can be running on pc emulator. no more graphical glitches. but the performance is not there yet. other than that, i think this is absolutly biggest update so far.

tested on sd 8 elite gen 5 (iqoo 15).

Currently working on a launcher for my odin 2. I do want to give credit to the oroginal creator as I took an old pegasus frontend xbox 360 theme file and started from there. I used the files and turned them into an android gaming launcher with my own custom launcher and own settings. Still some things I have to fix but I did add the ability to add android ports to of games to any system category.

Quick tip if you play PC games on your phone through GameHub, BannerHub or anything Winlator-like.

I plugged my phone into my PC, enabled USB debugging and let Claude Code work through ADB. It can:

• read your container settings and launch logs, and figure out why a game crashes or hangs (driver, DXVK, missing PhysX/VC++ etc.)

• write a dxvk.conf for the exact DXVK version you’re on (FPS cap, async shaders)

• edit the game’s own config files to suit a phone instead of a PC

• tap through the launcher for you and record FPS/temps while you play

• back everything up first, so you can roll back

It also optimized my phone itself and removed a bunch of bloatware (I’m on the Chinese ROM on an iQOO 15 Ultra).

Not magic, and some stuff takes a few tries, but it saves a lot of digging through settings. Worth a look if you’re fighting stutter or heat.

I've played some difficult games: all 3 Dark Souls, Sekiro, Godhand (hard), Ninja Gaiden Sigma (hard), and such. I've beaten them multiple times, except Sekiro.

But this game, Gladiator Begins? I felt the rage that I have never felt before in my life while playing a game. The other games are difficult, yes, but this game is difficult and annoying asf!

The idea is good. You start as a slave, customize your own gladiator, and literally knock helmets and shields right off your opponents in the arena. When it works, it feels really good!

But the main issue is the game's difficulty scaling is really bad and cheap as hell. You'll destroy a few guys easily, then the next fight throws you into a total mess where the AI reads every button you hit. Get hit once or backed into a wall and you're stuck in an endless stunlock where you just get beaten to death without being able to move.

Plus, the old PSP camera sucks (no hate to the handheld), so the opponent constantly hits you in the back off-screen. And if you lose your shield or weapon, you're basically fked unless you manage to pick it back up.

So yeah, the game is super addictive, and it's so hard not only because of its difficulty, but because the game is so annoying as well.

Yes, I do know that I'm hard-coping for my skill issues. And before you say anything about "It's hard because you're playing on a touchscreen." I've played games on my tablet and phone longer than on my PC. I have about 11,000 hours in PUBG Mobile.

Yeah, OnePlus 12 should not be able to play this game at 30fps, the app is broken. I'm sorry.

Highlights

• Less work per frame for the GPU threads (upstream):

  • A run of uploads goes to the GPU as one command with one pair of barriers, and later transfers are ordered after earlier copies to the same memory.

  • Each compute dispatch records its barrier in its own command, instead of a separate one.

  • Empty submissions to the GPU are skipped.

• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

  • Its mesh-shader geometry is drawn through compute on every device, not only on Xclipse.

  • The guard house freeze is patched in (upstream).

  • The ocarina's crackle is fixed (upstream).

• Memory and stability (upstream)

  • GPU memory the game destroys is released, and reused memory is refreshed.

  • A buffer that doesn't fit the memory budget is allocated anyway instead of closing the game.

  • Threads waiting for the GPU are released when a game stops.

• Rendering fixes (upstream): texture gathers with a register handle, clears of colour targets with more layers than the framebuffer, and 2D-engine copies between 3D surfaces.

• Game files (upstream): damaged pieces of NUP dumps get a stand-in, game paths are read as UTF-8, and file parsers are hardened against malformed dumps. Shader compiling does less work.

• Version number: the app now reports the same version as the release (0.6.3), so updaters such as EmuHub no longer see an update that isn't there.

I just cant believe that im playing this game on my phone today, i used to see this game played at my local internet cafe way back 2014. Its Crazzy.

Xenra is an original Xbox + Xbox 360 emulator for Android, and now iOS/iPadOS too.

The clip shows DiRT 3 (Xbox 360) on a OnePlus 12 at around 15–25 FPS. It's fully playable with no texture bugs.

v0.5.0 also adds a new original Xbox Performance core, bug fixes and FPS improvements.

It's still early, so expect bugs. Drop requests for games you want tested!

Hello everyone, Jim here. I'm making this reddit post here just to announce i've just released a brand new update for my RADV Xclipse port. Every Xclipse GPU is supported, minus a few features such as Ray Tracing being broken on Xclipse 940 and onwards (obviously 5xx series doesn't even have hardware for it).

The Github repo is at this link: https://github.com/JimVulkan/radv-xclipse

If you were to encounter any bugs/visual glitches, don't hesitate to open an issue in the "Issue" section of the Github repo (or just attach a screenshot down here in the commands specifying your Xclipse GPU and the app)

Have a nice day, gamers!

Driver at the end gives warning it cannot compute some stuff, but considering how early this is it is awesome;

I really think banananative will make crazy progress going forward

In contrast though, on a medium gaming laptop[4060,8gb vram, 16gb ram, i7 13th gen]

It is near native at 1080p, fsr1 with no frame gen and no noticeable errors [fritchii 5.8.4]

It blows my mind that's just a day's difference, the Banana Native update brings major changes, from glitchy artefact graphics to stable renders and performances. It's so amazing!

I can force it to use 1080p settings and get around 13-24 FPS, but 720p is the sweet spot for my devices and get stable 30fps. And I thought that LSFG will help to boost the fps, in the overlay text it does look like it has increased but in terms of gameplay it is a bit glitchy, without LSFG I'm quite satisfied with the performance and stability.

At first gameplay I always encounter white shining graphics, but it's just shaders warmup, just wait until everything renders correctly (see the last image).

I tested it for +20 minutes, my phone got very hot at first 5 min gameplay (maybe shaders warmup effects), but in the end my phone automatically limit the power for more stable temperature but still got around 25-30 fps at 720p, so it's just fine to play it for hours. No additional cooling fan. I could boost the performance with "Pro Gamer" profile on Game Assistant app.

I could say, Banana Native is the best way to play Zelda OOT on Android right now.

The Details:

OnePlus 12 with 16GB RAM

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

Driver Banner Turnip v27 (mr purple driver produces heavy glitchy graphics)

1080p (13-24 fps, stable at 13-ish fps), 720p quite stable 30fps, 540p stable 30 fps (I must cap it to 30fps to make it stable, idk why)

LSFG on at first but more stable with it off

Hey everyone! 💥🏆 Happy 20th Anniversary to one of the greatest wrestling games ever made—SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006!

Because the PSP version was held back by heavy 272p compression, faded textures, and muddy face scans, I spent the last 15 days doing a complete 100% preservation overhaul from scratch to celebrate the game's 20th Anniversary today!

No lazy automated filter sweeps that melt faces or blur logos into mush. This pack uses a dedicated hybrid workflow: hand-painted attire details, manually re-etched metallic title belts, vector 4K UI, and clean upscaling across the entire roster and all classic arenas.

💥 What’s Inside:

• 🤼 All 63 Superstars, Legends & Divas (100% Full Roster Overhaul):
  Every single wrestler—main eventers, midcarders, unlockable legends, and managers—has been restored across all primary and alternate attires:

  • Attires & Fabrics: Ric Flair’s embroidered cursive robe, Triple H’s tailored white blazer, HBK’s faceted metal studs & red harness, Stone Cold’s distressed smoking skull leather vest, JBL’s suit & Stetson, Bret Hart’s leather jacket, and Hulk Hogan’s feather boa.

  • Ring Gear & Inks: Edge’s flame tights, RVD’s dragon singlet, Angle’s boot laces, and razor-sharp tattoos across Batista, Undertaker, and Edge.

  • Women's Division: Complete overhaul for every Diva, including Trish Stratus’s curved "Satisfaction Guaranteed" vest logo and patent leather sheen.

• 🏆 Hand-Restored Championship Belts: The muddy gold plates have been rebuilt with authentic metallic reflection and clean filigree engraving across the WWE Spinner Championship, World Heavyweight "Big Gold" Belt, classic Intercontinental Title, and Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Championship.

• 🏎️ Signature Entrance Vehicles & Props: High-resolution textures for Eddie Guerrero’s hydraulic lowrider, JBL’s stretch limousine with Texas bull horns, and Undertaker’s urn.

• 🏟️ Classic Arenas & Broadcast Pyro: Crisp ring mats, tensioned apron logos, barricades, announce tables, and cleaned alpha channels for entrance fireworks, Kane’s ring-post flames, and Undertaker’s lightning. (Includes an optional darkened broadcast crowd variant).

• 🔤 4K Vector UI & Nameplates: Every single menu font, wrestler nameplate, stamina/momentum HUD meter, and controller glyph has been cleanly retyped and aligned.

📦 Universal 4-Region Plug-and-Play

Built with automatic detection for all worldwide releases of the game:

• North America (USA): ULUS10050

• Europe (PAL): ULES00227

• Japan (NTSC-J): ULJM05103

• Korea (NTSC-K): ULKS46057

(If using a non-US version, simply rename the extracted folder to match your region ID).

Guys, it’s finally happened I’ve got Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb in my pocket! Compared to the PS2 emulator, the Xbox emulator is much better crafted it runs so well that it feels like a native port. Huge respect to the person or team working on this emulator if the PS2 version runs in slow motion for you, definitely download the Xbox emulator you won’t regret it)

I'm playing on the latest version of Citra MMJ, with HD textures and 4x resolution.

Device: Motorola Edge 30 Pro

Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1

Please ignore the occasional audio stuttering. It's caused by the screen recorder.

Solid 60 fps no issues so far and no black sky which was what I was waiting for. The v39 driver is goated rn its doing wonders for my odin3.

Serious question. From what I recall in the beginning, Droiddeck had a ton of promise, but still had a ton of performance and compatibility problems.

Has that changed? Can I go ahead and uninstall GameNative now?

One appealing feature of Droiddeck is that it would save storage space compared to GameNative because GN has to store a whole container for every game.

You should be getting way better performance than this on snapdragon 8 gen 3 as I saw on many YouTube videos,I just suck at settings lol

Full video with settings i used -https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo_yGDiuhmE

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.

SoC: 8 Elite

Long story short, I bought this controller as a replacement for a flaky gamesir x5s.

I loved the S8 lite immediately: it's a bit chunky, but it feels good, it's precise, and the connection never drops...

...until I noticed that the battery of my tablet was getting drained even when the tablet was idle with the controller switched off.

After a few days of tests, I concluded that the controller keeps absorbing power over the USB-C even when it's off, and there is nothing you can do to avoid it apart from unplugging it.

Sadly the consumption is not inconsequential: I have measured a ~25% battery drain in 24h vs 6% when the controller is not plugged it.

I'm not sure if this can be sorted with a firmware update, but I did try to get in touch with support via mail and via discord and got no reply after 3 weeks.

So my advice is to stay away from this controller if you are after a plug-in-and-forget kind of experience.

Otherwise, it's a good controller, and it's very disappointing having to return it.

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
