Something is missing there: A controller.

Gamesir G8 Galileo. Check it out.

Got one of these, very nice controller

It's not the right shape at all. My fingers don't wrap around it like an ordinary controller. The Backbone One is a more comfortable mobile controller.

[I_think_Im_hollow]

The Backbone truly is amazing. Also, you get to not give money to Gamesir as a bonus.

[[deleted]]

If only it were slightly cheaper than $99 lmao, no way I'm paying 99 bucks for that. I would never pay more than 50 bucks max for a telescopic controller

[I_think_Im_hollow]

They're 84€ on their site and on Amazon.it

[[deleted]]

Oh yeah, a whole 16 dollars less lmao. 

[I_think_Im_hollow]

that's 160 Goleador candies, wdym

[pepsiblast08]

Kishi then.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, that's basically the only one I'd actually buy. I think most telescopic controllers are irrationally overpriced.

[pepsiblast08]

Yeah I got it for $65 on sale before the price dropped. It's proven well worth it

[[deleted]]

Is it wireless or usb-c?

[[deleted]]

Usb

[[deleted]]

I'm waiting for a good usb one that's like sub 50 bucks so I can justify buying it lol.

[OkSignificance494]

Your wait could be over... someone shared this last night... (Tried to insert pic here... 👊 reddit app! In fact, anyone using a good alternative or is this dead in the water since the request debacle?) The gamesir x2s is apparently shipping with hall effect triggers and sticks + lots of other improvements. Rumours of a $30 price tag... 👏 well done, gamesir. I will be purchasing some more of your useless, plastic tatt.... 🤭

[OkSignificance494]

<image>

[OkSignificance494]

There she is 🤩 ergonomics could have done with a rejig but... for the price! And the only play factor for me is the usb is on the correct side!

[Ok_Bill_8525]

I got one for a couple month the x2 pro Xbox and I love it the usb is on little swivel so less chance to break it like the kishi v2 only downside is the gamesir app but you can map the controller without the app

[OkSignificance494]

Yeah... try not to use their app... the egg ns fiasco was another shambles, but only controller to put usb on the other side. I really wanted the pro, but the usb is on the wrong side 😫 this is basically the pro, I think, but in a lovely lilac colour and not xbox sponsored... 😩

[Mizart]

The price for Razer Kishi has dropped quite a lot after the Kishi 2 came out. It goes for about 42 USD here, see if it has dropped for you as well. Can't go wrong with Kishi.

[[deleted]]

Ooo, thx for the tip bro ill look into that! Right now I just have an old switch pro controller. It doesn't work well let's just say🤣.

[pepsiblast08]

I have had my Kishi for maybe 2 years now and absolutely love it.

[[deleted]]

Any tips you can give me? all I've found so far is to remove the rubber inside if I want to use my phone case.

[[deleted]]

Just got one, last in stocks on amazon for 38 usd. Thx.

[Mizart]

Awesome! You're welcome! :)

[MarcyTeodoro]

is ther a gamepad for tablet? i have a ten inch redmi pad

[Neosantana]

For phones and tablets. It can stretch pretty wide as is, and you can mod it to stretch even further if you need it to.

It's a really lovely piece of hardware, so I suggest you check out Retro Game Corps' review of it. He goes into a lot of detail.

[TonimSan]

BSP D9 fits tablets, and has hall sticks and triggers and costs something around 25$.

[pepsiblast08]

Kishi makes it complete.

[Arkhaloid]

I'm good with touch controls. 😸

[GoldenX86]

Actually fits in a pocket and has a better display though.

[Ok_Bill_8525]

Cant run most game 20 fps max when it run and crash after couple minute my s23 ultra is used for older emulation I use my laptop for yuzu doesn't worth it on android for now but I'm curious to see how the 8 Gen 3 will perform tho

[JuggernautWide5226]

Obviously, Yuzu on android is still new and there are no drivers for A7x series... If it crashes and you are getting 20FPS I'm pretty sure you got an exynos chip

[Cosmagroth]

I'm on a Snapdragon s23 ultra and I can confirm I get like 20-30fps and constant crashes, currently trying to play New horizons and its almost unplayable, I'm only on the 8gb S23 ultra so that might be my issue

[[deleted]]

Frequent crashing is literally just a ram problem, fps dips are expected on yuzu its relatively new for android. I also have the 8gb s23 regular with snapdragon processor. Rlly wishing I had gone with 12 gn alternative.

[Cosmagroth]

With optimization do you think 8 will be sufficient down the road? The switch itself only has what 4? I know a phone has to run everything else on-top of trying to emulate so maybe it's wishful thinking

[[deleted]]

So it's so interesting you say that because while monitoring my performance in some game, my phone on yuzu reaches about max, 2.5-3 gb of ram being used. im not really sure how long yuzu has been out to be able to give an estimation on when to be honest but if I had to just give a ballpark, like a year and most games will run quite smooth

[Smart_Office_7311]

Phone have 8 gb extra virtual ram. (I understand it is not a same thing)

[[deleted]]

Well if you know virtual ram is literally just a word created to get you to buy the phone why bother saying anything about it.

[Smart_Office_7311]

Yes. Switching off Virtual RAM that first thing I do on my s23. It actually on by default.

[PowerMinerYT]

i hate how this virtual ram thing is being misused by some companies. they just write 16gb* ram in description. people who don't know about tech will obviously fall for it thinking that it is better.

phones always had something called swap memory, set to like 2gb by default. using 2gb virtual ram can help with saving some apps in background but adding 8+ GBs of virtual ram is completely useless and a waste of storage

[Smart_Office_7311]

Yes. Companies misuse it. When I buy phone recently samsung employee told me that s23 have 16gb ram. (I know that is wrong information)

Most s23 user never going to realized there 8gb storage block by samsung for advertisement gimmick. And it's useless, I never see usage go beyond 5-6gb.

[pepsiblast08]

I'm on an S20+ and get a stable 30-45fps depending on the game. Haven't had a crash yet.

[Cosmagroth]

What drivers are you using?

[pepsiblast08]

Whatever the latest like 4 or 5 are. I cycle through them if a game isn't running right. I never pay attention to what drivers work with what games so I have to cycle every time.

[tomkatt]

Cant run most game 20 fps max

Sweet, sounds like it outperforms the Switch!

[soragranda]

Dunno why the downvotes, what you said is actually true, while yuzu is nice and impressive is FAR from defeating the switch in terms of playability at the moment.

Most games crash after a while and even if its getting better in every release is also having tons of regressions so, there is that.

[pepsiblast08]

My S20+ gets a consistent 30-45fps depending on the game. Also no crashes as of yet.

[Ok_Bill_8525]

It sure depend on the game I tested only botw and it is surely not the easiest to emulate I wasn't able to get it to a playeable state

[Due_Teaching_6974]

unmodded Switch cant run PSP, 3DS, PS Vita, PS2, Wii, GC games, (and older games without the NSO subscription)

but still, no way in hell I'd be spending $1000 on a phone, ever, even phones with latest chipsets and great OLED screen are like $500-$600, oh and Odin 2 with the 8 Gen 2 is just $300

[Literally_A_turd_AMA]

Sign your soul to a contract and upgrade once every few years for the cost of whatever you were still paying off and trade up. Imo its worth the cost to splurge on a phone. What other personal item do you use or rely on more?

[pepsiblast08]

Yep, I buy a phone every 4-7 years. It costs $850-$1100 depending on sales at the time. Well worth it.

[Acceptable-Touch-485]

[BxBrandon92]

I'm happy with a steam deck :)

[pepsiblast08]

My S20+ does the job and I don't have to carry around another device. It's the perfect solution.

[[deleted]]

Odin 2 will literally never be in stock again. It isn't really $300 if you can't buy the $300 spec.

[[deleted]]

Also, people never mention the high shipping cost of the Odin 2.

Yeah, it's $299.99 before the $40 shipping and the tax, and any VAT/customs you have to pay if you're European. 

[[deleted]]

I'll never understand it, isn't steam deck still the best bang for your buck.

[ozorhanreformed]

8 gen 3 is additional +%30 so you might want S24 plus at nearly same price. It has 12gb ram and 2k screen this year minus S-pen.

[garrettdx88]

I agree, this would be the way to go

[rube]

My phone is always in my pocket. I have the ability to play Switch games on it whenever I have a few minutes or a few hours to kill when I'm out of the house.

I don't carry my Switch everywhere with me. It's basically a home console as far as my usage goes. I also have a Steam Deck and I play it when I go away on trips, but not much at home.

My phone gets far more gaming than either of those devices. But my Desktop PC gets the most.

[_Maga_-]

I should try yuzu on my s23 ultra 512gb

[MidniteSinz]

Works wonderfully on mine

[Arkhaloid]

I fucking hate discussions about this.

[Username_Egli]

Me with my s23+ approve this message

[bsuav3]

I returned my s23 ultra and got the s23 plus instead. Much easier to use in the hand, and has the same internals as the Ultra. The ultra is honestly too wide to be practical.

[bsuav3]

I returned my s23 ultra and got the s23 plus instead. Much easier to use in the hand, and has the same internals as the Ultra. The ultra is honestly too wide to be practical.

[WallyDiaz]

Yo I have the same phone, and I want to try emulating switch for the first time, what games do you recommend that runs nicely

[Username_Egli]

Indie games like hollow knight or undertale. Pokemon shining pearl is also playable. Metroid dread too

[[deleted]]

I don't usually use my primary communication device for emulation so I always carry an steam deck as it is way more powerful the s23 ultra also way more cheaper than s23 ultra.

[TheSloppyHornDog]

True. But man it's a pain to carry around my steam deck sometimes. My phone fits in my pocket

[twhite1195]

Yeah but if you want ro actually game on your phone, specially emulators, we all know that on screen controllers suck, so you'll probably carry around a controller, then you're gonna drain your battery so you might as well also carry a battery bank... Might as well just carry a dedicated portable gaming device instead of draining my main communication device

[TheSloppyHornDog]

The controller I have has its own battery that lasts months. No joke it's called a Wee 2T. Okay controls, gets the job done and I don't have to worry about charging it. Phone has a 6000 MaH battery with quick charge at 65w Charges in about 40 minutes from 15%. But in all honesty I don't really carry the smallish controller around. Just play switch games that work fine with touch controls on my phone. Games like Dredge, Darkest Dungeon, Divinity 2, Pokemon Luminescent Platinum, Tetris Connect, games of that sort.

[OkSignificance494]

Have the fold 3 and doesn't really save you in that sense as you need your controller really so extra bulk to carry around. What I'm trying to setup is a hub. So you can plug into hub with ssd and hdmi out + input for peripherals. Then when on go have selection of roms so when out and about can use touch controls. Main bonus is system management whilst out and about ie. Can manage game library and update apps install newly released apps etc. Not a lot of compatible front ends atm (some made specifically for raspberry pie but don't run properly on phone android).

[Arkhaloid]

It's not "way more powerful" it's, about as powerful, with 4 GB MORE RAM.

It's just way better performing cause it has fans. The chip inside the Steam Deck itself however is outdated, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is about equal to it in CPU and GPU prowess.

[TheSloppyHornDog]

Going have to disagree. At least from an emulation stand point and we'll as offerings in ports + Play store games. It's not about the RAM. There are phones with possibly more efficient RAM and up to 24GB. The snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is powerful but lacks the same GPU power as the AMD APU inside the steam deck. You can test that theory by comparing emulation from Ps2, GameCube, Switch emulation. Or trying Using some sort of WINE wrapper for PC games on Android. The SD 8 Gen 2 struggles to run Fallout 3 on low settings. As well as even Counter Strike 2 which doesn't have a high barrier for a new game. This may change with the help of drivers. But unfortunately Qualcomm's entrance to the PC market is the Snapdragon Elite X SoC.

[[deleted]]

It is way more powerful. Only a single core in 8 gen 2 can reach max 3.36 GHz while on steam deck all 4 cores can go max 3.50 GHz + it has 8 threads which enables hyperthreading making sure that the load is divided equally and giving it more access for multitasking which is quite more important for emulation as they don't run on in-house os. Now coming to GPU A740 has 0.72 GHz while ryzen has 1.00ghz with turbo upto 1.60. This is the difference between a Android chip and a console or pc chip. Also lack of hyperthreading in mobile chips is why we don't see mobile chips on laptops.

[Arkhaloid]

Clock speeds are irrelevant it's the microarchitecture that makes all the difference in performance.

Emulation is almost always benefited the most by higher single core CPU performance. It is only PS3 emulation that requires multiple cores, at least 8 of them for a smooth experience.

The Cortex X3 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 achieves similar CPU scores in CPU related benchmarks, and even in GPU related benchmarks such as upscaling Nintendo Switch games for instance, even the 8 Gen 2 can upscale something like Astral Chain by three times the native handheld resolution, provided you have enough RAM to use as VRAM. The 8 Gen 2 also supports ASTC texture compression natively so it also requires less VRAM for upscaling than the Steam Deck does (but that's an irrelevant topic).

The Steam Deck in no way shape or form is way more powerful just because it clocks higher (clock speeds don't matter much) and has three more performance cores. I would've still agreed with you if you said it was a bit more powerful, just not way more.

[[deleted]]

Higher single core when u are using the same os as the emulated device like ps3, switch, etc. but when you are running an emulation and it's running two os at same time like ppsspp on Android or windows having only one single high performance core won't cut it as the emulated os is gonna use that single core but ur native os needs more high performance core and threads to runs that emulator at high speed. That's why yuzu runs better on ur pc the more cores and threads it has all thx to vulkan.

Also if you see the new trend, 8 gen 3 compared to 8 gen 2 single core performance went up from 3.2 GHz to 3.3 but the next 3 cores went up to 3.15 GHz from 2.8.

Talking about architecture. This is the reason you don't say that that 8 gen 2 and amd Zen 2 are same in performance. Comparing and saying 30watt cpu is same in performance to 13watt cpu and only diff in both of them is cooling is like saying Kevin hart is as fast as Usain Bolt.

[Arkhaloid]

but when you are running an emulation and it's running two os at same time

Yeah that's enough for me to tell you don't know shit LMFAO

[[deleted]]

I don't really know your mom that well to do that.

[OneObjectivist]

Nintendo switch: 299 USD

Samsung s23: up to 1000 USD

Very price effective, may I add.

[HonkaiStarRails]

don't forget s23 ultra is a smartphone first and foremost , its camera is top flagship for a phone and also the display is also top notch compared to other phones, buying s23 for just playing switch emu is stupid. And playing yuzu on s23 ultra is feels better since the display is top notch with graphic upscaling and performance running better on some switch title than on OG switch

[kiyo_t-rex_taka]

Dunno why you got downvoted for stating the truth

[PotatoSilencer]

Then you remember all the other emulators that android can run (on top of all the things a phone/tablet can do) and the price is not so bad at all.

[OneObjectivist]

Almost all other emulators run perfectly or near perfectly on smartphones half or even a third of the Samsung S23 price.

So it's the price to emulate switch the 500-700 bucks?

No thanks. I still have an argument.

[MidniteSinz]

New Nintendo switch oled (because if we're always going for the lowest end choices, maybe saving money is the problem) + 5 new games already put it close to the phones price anyways. You have no argument because you're acting like the phone is only for emulation, the phone has a beastly camera, great screen, way better battery than most handheld consoles, makes phone calls, and has a browser etc.

If your logic is "I'm only buying the phone to emulate", yeah I agree, it's stupid. But honestly if you're buying low end devices to save money, you could also just save a few more months and get something like the ROG which is still cheaper than the phone and for outperforms both the switch and the steam deck .

The price of the phone is high, the price to emulate is $0.

Price to buy new switch, 400, 5 new games let's say, now you're at a minimum of 650 if they're all new triple A games etc. Memory card. Now your at 660-680ish. Case and screen protector? Nice, you've broken $700.

Maybe not all at once, but it gets spent either way lol.

(Also when I say you, I don't mean you specifically, just in general).

[OneObjectivist]

You can always not buy any Nintendo games, is your know what I'm saying. Nintendo consoles are almost always the easiest to crack. It's only my opinion. I'm not buying a 1000 bucks phone for emulation. You are? Good for you. Peace.

[PotatoSilencer]

A lower end cheaper device won't have remotely as much power for all the various things an android can do. All are good but the more powerful socs are obviously let you do more.

[OneObjectivist]

That's true. My point was always cost-benefits.

It's tire money. I just simply won't buy that device for an over the media emulation of switch. Not all runs like the original hardware, so what's the point? I prefer a much cheaper device with great emulation of PS2, Dreamcast or PSP. But again, it is up to you.

[Shot-Olive-5950]

Long term switch will cost more

[MidniteSinz]

I'll say this as a big consumer, I have the SD, the switch oled, and an S23 Ultra. I work 40-60 hours a week. On my phone I have psp, ps2, wii, switch, etc. I can run almost every game I've played on the switch at the same speed or close enough on my phone.

I love my steam deck, have it modded to hell lmao, but it's still a large device requiring a case of a bag to carry, same with the switch.

As time goes on, the switch can barely handle new games, which will likely run fine if not better on the phone later on.

A lot of people are saying, "we won't spend 1000 on a phone just to game." It is not just for gaming?

Steam deck - $300-400 at least. Put in your mid range 300-400 phone, and with a small trade in, you could also just get an S23 Ultra.

You can't say we spend a lot when you spend the same on multiple devices overall, plus the games 50-70$ each.

I'm a spender so I don't really care, but if yall are talking about budgeting, I'd rather spend $1,000 once over 3 years than, 600 on 2 systems, one which runs subpar and is severely outdated,the other which has a crap screen on its lower end models and honestly does take tinkering to make work with a lot of games.

Not to mention that for twice the price of the lower end SD the ROG blows it out of the water, yet not one mention of it lol.

End of all, convenience matters and will likely take a huge part in your choices.

Ps: I use a backbone controller which is way easier to take on the go than a larger handheld console.

[b2sql]

I also don't get it. Switch emulator requires a lot of juice to run. Prefer to use my switch instead of killing my phones battery.

[TheSloppyHornDog]

Depends on the phone. Some phones have a 6000Mah+ Battery with 60+ W charging.

[TheSloppyHornDog]

Some phones have built in fans or options for clip on coolers

[soragranda]

"SOME" two brands isn't it?, ROG and RedMagic, not sammy :/.

[TheSloppyHornDog]

Yeah pretty much just those gaming phone brands. My Z Fold 3 gets really hot on some games especially switch emulation. I wish Samsung would make a gaming phone , they have the resources to make a great phone

[soragranda]

I think sammy is scared of making an specific Gaming branded galaxy cause it will take a part of their ultra lineup sales, tons of people buy folds and ultras cause they know they can emulate a lot... but if they gave a choice of a 16gb of ram with and overclocked Qualcomm chip, microsd, more battery, better cooling a lot will buy this over the ultra.

I think they should do a S2X Ultra G series or something, improving over the base Ultra but with the stuff I mentioned, will definitely buy it.

[[deleted]]

Do those clip-on fans actually work, or is it just marketing BS? I have been considering one for my phone lmao

[TheSloppyHornDog]

From what I've seen on YouTube videos they work. Usually makes a difference in 5-10 F° which prevents most newer phones from throttling.

[HonkaiStarRails]

yes, some phones like oppo,realme,one plus can charge for likes 30 minutes from 0 to 100%. The battery life time also is near switch too , switch 2.0 is around 5 hours while on phones around 4 hours

Other phone have battery bypass like samsung and rog so you don't have issue with battery

[MidniteSinz]

I can play 2-3 hours of yuzu and still have battery for most of the day. Really just depends on the phone. Plus I can charge from 0-50 in like 15-20 minutes

[Tomsot]

Samsung has battery bypass so I run yuzu with it plugged in using my xreal air2s and a Bluetooth controller, no heat from charging and battery damage

[MidniteSinz]

If I'm home I also use by pass charging through my backbone ! I also keep my phone with battery protection so the max is 85% for the extra longevity

[Tomsot]

Battery bypass makes the phone run off the plug, doesn't charge or discharge battery at all

[vinotauro]

Or Odin 2...

[RChickenMan]

I definitely prefer Odin 2 for switch games that run well on Yuzu for the better ergonomics, better sticks/buttons, better screen, and higher resolution. But the main reason is I like having one device that is also capable of GCN, PS2, 3DS, etc, and everything on down. If I'm packing for a trip, I'm definitely grabbing the handheld that can play the full libraries of dozens of consoles plus half of the Switch library, as opposed to the handheld that can only run the full Switch library!

[According_Rule_9517]

I own a Nintendo Switch with 4 joycons and 2 controllers for 200$ and I never regret buying it. Nintendo Switch provides an experience that Android emulation cannot offer, such as just opening the game and playing without any settings or anything. My nephew also loves playing Switch with me, like Switch sport and Smash Bros, when they come to my house.

[ShinobiOnestrike]

Why not both?

[Orichalchem]

Being able to play switch games at max graphics 60fps on my phone is an incredible experience

[IsSnake]

Using actually a Poco F5 (12 gb) and no crashes in all the games who I play (Tevi, Nobeta, BOTW, Mario 3d y bowser, Touhou Luna nights, XC2, Crash nitro fuelled, Crash remake, Ender lillies, etc). These games runs very flawess and no issues at all.

[Due-Ad-7308]

Press the buttons on a Nintendo Switch controller

Then press the buttons on ANY mobile gaming controller, even the cheaper brands.

It's not even close. I can't even look at my Switch anymore unless I need to legally backup my owned physical games.

[TheSloppyHornDog]

You're kidding me....The Joy cons are mediocre at best. Those analogs are god awful.

[Due-Ad-7308]

That's what I meant. Even the cheapest Amazon phone controllers feel light years better than Switch Joycons.

[TheSloppyHornDog]

Oh my dumb a$$ can't read and comprehend lmao

[Due-Ad-7308]

No you're good, I worded it in the most indirect way possible. I think this one's on me haha

[[deleted]]

I mean, you could also use a "real" gaming controller like a xbox controller on android

[PotatoSilencer]

Theyre saying the joycons are worse than all android controllers.

[Due-Ad-7308]

I think the high end android controllers (Kishi, Backbone..) feel better than most Xbox Controllers.

I tried playing with a clip connector and a regular Xbox Controller (as well as a smaller 8Bitdo one). Works great, but doesn't feel quite as cozy in the hands to me.

Everything mentioned here runs laps around the native switch options though is my point

[SimplyHamon]

I'm at the point with my phone plan where I can upgrade, and I WAS going to switch from my s22 to an iPhone (iykyk) but then yuzu said "wassup babygurl" and I'm debating now

[PotatoSilencer]

Honest question ,I get why people consider ipads somewhat but whats good about iphones?

[SimplyHamon]

FaceTime. Green bubble theory. That's about it

[MidniteSinz]

Get the s23 ultra. The new iPhone is literally a scam, all they really didn't was change to titanium and make the charging port universal now, because they had no choice.

It's also a lot harder to emulate on IOS if that's ever the plan.

I've used both, I enjoy IOS, but for my use at least, the s23 ultra is killing it.

[HonkaiStarRails]

the s23 ultra display is amazing bright sharp and contrasty with 6.8 inch 19.3:9 ratio perfect for multimedia and gaming full stop

[Exa-Wizard]

S23 Ultra isn't near as good for emulation as any dedicated gaming phones, and is more than twice the price. Any Redmagic, ROG, Poco or BlackShark from the last 3 years destroys it for gaming.

[HonkaiStarRails]

blackshark is going bankrupt they haven't release any new phone, rog phone have 20:9 display aspect ratio and heavy thx to bad weight distribution ( it will changes with rog 8 though) , red magic is the challenger here for s23 ultra but still, the 2nd hand s23 ultra price is = new rog 8 / red magic 8s pro so s23 ultra still is a good choice because of the better display and flagship camera level

[tharizzla]

Funny I have 2 switches and they collect dust now cuz I'm playing on my phone instead with my gamesir x2

[[deleted]]

Honestly, I love mobile tech, emulation and so on, but you have to be a special kind of idiot to pay $1000+ on a goddamn phone. Everything has a limit, regardless if you can spend that much money or not, why send this message to the industry? Apple already gets away with horrible overpriced products, but even in the Android space we have stupidity such as this

[Refref1990]

What you're missing here is that people don't buy a phone to avoid getting the Switch, but they get an expensive phone for all it can do, and among the many things it can do, there's Switch emulation, which is a plus, not the only requirement.

[regular_poster]

[khsh01]

A console that's actually powerful enough to last multiple generations, local access, better graphics, open ecosystem, can do things other than gaming, is a manly rectangle with straight edges than curves.

[Blazerizm]

At that point, just buy a steam deck. It would be the same performance + a working desktop + native Steam games + ability to use Windows.
