I have a Redmi Pad 8.7 6GB RAM that I wanna use for light gaming and emulation. What emulators could you guys recommend and what game I should try out.

Also should I enable ram extension?

DroidDeck v0.4.0 running on Odin 2 Portal

DroidDeck v0.4.0 update summary:

• GOG, Epic and Amazon Games integration, including cloud saves for GOG and Epic.
• SteamOS-style KDE Plasma desktop, with “Return to Gaming Mode.”
• Per-game settings for Proton, FEX, DXVK and other components.
• Improved controls: Steam touch layouts, four-player controller support and selectable controller emulation.
• DroidDeck-Proton, automatic Windows dependency installation and easier non-Steam game imports.
• Performance improvements: reduced CPU overhead and faster PRoot operations—up to 57% in measured workloads, not a guaranteed FPS increase.
• Interface redesign and fixes, including RDR2 launching, FSR 1 black screens, audio and input issues.

Showcasing gameplay from Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005) & God of War (2018)

----------Changelog-------

Lemon-Project v1.2.0

New:

Lemon FG, Lemon's own frame generation. Built in, nothing to install, and no Lossless Scaling code in it: turn it on in Settings → Graphics → Frame generation, for all games or one. A new Engine option picks Lemon FG (default) or Lossless Scaling, which only runs with your own copy of Lossless.dll. The FPS counter shows which one is working, and Lemon FG has its own lemon icon. The setup screen explains that Lemon FG is included instead of only offering to load the DLL.

Accurate is the default GPU mode again in Lemon: the optimizations in this version pay for most of its cost (measured: TOTK 48.1 → 47.9 fps on an AYN Odin 3, BOTW 16.6 → 17.0 fps on a Galaxy S24 Ultra). Lemon Lite and Lemon Lite & Spoofed keep Fast.

One lighter wait for the GPU.

Lemon still waits for the GPU before a game reuses what was drawn, so the flickering fixed in 1.1 stays fixed, but it no longer drains the GPU when the game waits for work that is already queued (Garfield: GPU thread stalls from ~156 to ~13 ms per second). The GPU Fence Behavior option is gone: there is nothing to set.

Mali GPUs: BC4 and BC5 textures are recompressed to EAC on the GPU, half the memory they took before. The option is now called Recompress BCn textures.

Lemon-Ade v0.0.7 bundled in Lemon: it fixes shaders that v0.0.5 and v0.0.6 compiled wrong. Users of the bundled v0.0.6 move to it automatically.

Fixed:

Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 on Mali (and any GPU without BCn textures): pink or black Inklings and missing button text. The games copy compressed textures as raw blocks; Lemon now keeps the original blocks for those copies and decodes them on the GPU.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on Adreno: no more spikes over the characters or flickering lights. Adreno runs a geometry shader once per vertex it outputs, so its memory writes repeated; now only the first copy of each triangle writes. Thanks to the report in GitHub issue #7.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe connects to Nextendo Network again (error 2306-0502): 32-bit games that hash with the CPU's SHA-1 instructions got wrong results.

TOTK: the grass stays without any option. The Use reactive flushing setting is gone.

Splatoon 3 loads faster (about 100 s → 70 s on an AYN Odin 3 with Lemon-Ade): a huge shader is translated once per session instead of once per pipeline.

The in-game overlay keeps Lemon's yellow theme instead of turning purple, and its text stays readable with the new interface.

The game list no longer rescans all your folders every time you leave a game's page.

Tapping a game twice quickly no longer crashes the app.

The settings screen no longer writes thousands of "Could not find setting" lines to the log.

Would be cool to have PS2, PS3 etc games run natively andorid like people already are doing on PC with bloodbourne, Skate 3, GOW3 etc..

S25U 12GB Ram

This can also be taken as gamenative/gamehub etc... too as compared to Droid deck

I'm trying DroidDeck atm and for some reason, when i hit the "Play Steam" button, it just pops up the loading screen for a second then back to main menu.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm using a Z Fold 4, error and detailed spec in the video.

Thank you all!

Hey guys, I have a Retroid Pocket Flip 5, I have successfully installed Skyrim on Droid Deck and it runs great for about 10 minutes then freezes. This is the OG Skyrim not Special Edition. Any help is appreciated.

On recommendation of many of my friends I installed and bitdefender and ran a scan and on completion of the scan it started showing bannerhub, winlator ludashi and gamehub lite all as malwares.

Any members from the community had any similar findings and what could be the reason

Testing DroidDeck and it runs pretty well

My device is Poco F7 with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 + Gamesir X3 Pro controller

Playing on the lowest setting 864×486 resolution with fairly stable 25-30FPS and 40-60FPS with frame gen

Frame rate sometimes drops on intense battle unfortunately but overall pretty playable

Call of duty 4 chinese port running flawlessly on s26 plus a840

For the last two updates I've had for armsx2 it's caused my retroachievements to stop working. Last update I was able to fix the issue by logging out and back in but now it's just not working. If I tap sync library nothing changes and it just says to "sign in and scan your library" as if I'm not already signed in and tapping the sync library button. Anyone else having this issue?

So I've been reading up on pc emulation and I have a few questions.

1. Do I need to learn torrents to be able to get free roms? (I'm a dude that really wants to avoid paying.)

2. If I was able to actually get a pc emulator working could I emulate ps3 games?

3.does winulator have controller support?

Thank you,

Supposedly is outperforming turnip with the Rutabaga driver version 26.10.10. Feel free to comment if driver is indeed an upgrade over turnip for 8 elite
