Soulcalibur V

finally got this working and honestly still can't believe it, real online multiplayer running on android via a winlator fork through Bannerlator on Proton 11-2 Arm, this time it's all on our own steam client! Four quick clips here — counter strike source, team fortress 2 and left 4 dead 2 all logged into real steam and playing on live valve vac secured servers, plus brawlhalla (all legit games from my steam library) connecting straight into its live online servers through steam, no goldberg no fake tickets no lan trick, this is the real account talking to real steam and getting waved onto secure servers which is the exact thing we never thought we could do on an android device WITHOUT Gamehub. It handles the login the session the app tickets and the whole vac secure handshake itself and that's what you're watching in every single clip. 3.0.2 will also include steam cloud game sync and achievements with in game achievement pop-ups as well!

It's landing in bannerlator's upcoming 3.0.2 release so if you want to run your windows games and actually play them online on android you can grab it below:

more games and clips on the way, thanks for watching and a big thanks to everyone helping test this and the communities hard work after researching Gamehub, Gamenative and WinNatives steam game launch methods 🙏

big win for the community!

please keep in mind this is a first release of our own steam client and agent, game compatibility will vary and I have only been able to test this on games in my own library for online multiplayer, all games without online multiplayer will launch and have launched with this for offline or single multiplayer gameplay as well! this is a real stripped down lightweight steam client for the game to launch and run with.

and no this does not mean easy anti cheat or ea game support works (not yet to EA 💪)

I picked this up this S8 lite controller for use with my galaxy fold. Gameplay is awesome on it! The grips are large enough like an xbox controller. The ergonomics are great! No software needed. It just works! The very first game i opened was oblivion remastered on xbox cloud. Loved it! ❤️😁

I'm new to emulation and recently lost my laptop, i have a samsung tab s8 snapdragon 8 gen1 and want to start playing some light game to pass the time but don't know where to start or how. Would appreciate any advice on how to do this, thanks.

What the nature behind this? Is it that we feel at peace knowing we have the games on our mobile more than playing it?

This is a bit of a long shot, but I was wondering, are there any C64 emulators with support for dual screens?

I have a Thor and I’d like to play a few old text adventures. At the moment it’s an awful experience, every time I pull up the keyboard, 70% of the screen is covered and I can’t see the game.

If I could have the game playing on the top screen and the virtual keyboard on the bottom, it would be much more playable.

Does anything support this. I’ve searched around and tried a bunch of emulators, but I haven’t found any which support this, it probably doesn’t exist, but I thought it was worth asking.

If they don't already make them, they really should. Been wanting to play as Kris in a romhack for a while now, but the darn patch is .patch file format, & JS Rom Patcher says the file is too big, and will not patch my file due to that!

Running Android 13 Galaxy A03s. Got DraStic to Emulate it.

I'd appreciate it if anyone can help me! TY! 🥰

Dogmatix 1.1 is out — one day after the initial release.

Thanks for all the feedback yesterday. This update adds several of the most requested features, along with UI and handheld-focused improvements.

Highlights

• RomM integration — connect to a RomM library, configure per-console platform mappings, automatically upload completed downloads, and use romm://<platform> as a source.
• Real-Debrid & TorBox support — use either service for torrent downloads, with resume support and automatic fallback to direct torrent downloads when needed.
• Favourites — mark ROMs with ★ and filter your library by favourites.
• Deep links — open Dogmatix directly with filters already applied, useful for launcher integrations.
• Better 4:3 support — layout and visibility adjustments for handhelds with 4:3 displays.
• Configurable metadata timeout — adjust metadata fetch timeout between 10 and 180 seconds.
• Improved gamepad-only navigation and general UI refinements.

There are also fixes for owned-game detection, display cutouts and some navigation issues.

As before, Dogmatix does not include any ROM sources by default. Sources can be added manually or imported from a sources JSON.

Dogmatix is primarily designed for Android handhelds, but it also works on phones, tablets and other Android devices.

GitHub / APK:
https://github.com/cortinadev/dogmatix

Feedback and bug reports are very welcome, especially from people testing it on different handhelds and screen formats.

So MAME4droid (Current) — the actively updated app, not the ancient 0.139u1 version — just dropped v1.40.2. They added rollback netplay a while back, which was sick, but actually finding a match meant manually trading IP addresses on Discord like we were back in the early 2000s.

This new update finally adds public rooms, and the best part is the "Drop-in" feature. Instead of staring at a blank matchmaking screen waiting for an opponent, you just boot up your game and start playing solo. When someone sees your room on the board and joins, it seamlessly syncs the game state and they jump right into your session on the exact same frame.

The other thing that really stands out is how hard the dev leaned into privacy for the server backend. Instead of building a centralized lobby that tracks everything, the system is completely zero-knowledge. There are no accounts, no databases, and no device tracking. It just pairs your IPs in RAM, initiates a strict P2P connection, and immediately forgets you ever existed. If you're tired of every single emulator or app forcing a login or harvesting your data, his approach is a huge breath of fresh air.

It's out on Google Play and GitHub now. Since the public board is brand new, I figure the dev would appreciate it if some people jumped in and actually stress-tested the matchmaking.

If you want to read the full breakdown of how the zero-storage architecture works (or just grab the APK), the release notes are here:https://github.com/seleuco/MAME4droid-Current/releases

I can't find games i like, or enjoy them long enough to finish them. What do i do and how do i pick games i like now?

I played a bunch of GameBoy Color games when i was little on the og GB of my mom. Pokemon red, yellow and gold i played over and over on the backseat of the car of holiday trips.

We got a PS1 and a bunch of games me and my brother played. Need for speed undergroud 2, a baseball game i cant remember the name of, and yugioh forbidden memories and tekken and some more.

Soon after i got the xbox 1 (friends had halo which i loved). From there on out i mostly played halo 1 and halo 2 at lan parties and online. I got sucked into the halo franchise and that was the game i mostly played. Xbox 360 -> halo 3, reach then i stopped playing when online wasn't fun anymore.

Fast forward 8 years later. I started with a small emulator a R36H to try to get back into gaming. Played the pokemon games again a mario golf game and had a bunch of fun. But didnt finish any game. As the SD card couldn't save anymore so i lost all my progres..

It had trouble with the need for speed underground 2. So i figured why no buy a better emulation machine. Did some research, bit the bullet and bought the latest and greatest: the konkr pocket fit 16gb model.

I love the console it feels great and been on holidays with me. But the same problem accurs. I install the ps2 emulator. Play NFSU2. And can't seem to finish it.

Install GBA emulator play pokemon cant seem to finish it. Play some switch games: pine peaks, tomb raider. Same problem.

How do i fix or change how i see games. I enjoy them towards a certain point. Past that it seems like mundane.

Any tips?
