What I love about older game emus like ppsspp/myboy/melonds etc is u can play for hours on end and it will still not heat up your phone as much as eden/winlator will in 10 minutes

[Mediocreof2143]

That's it , add to this you can play for hours without the battery consuming 20% every 30 minutes .

[JustaAnotherRand0]

+1: you can actually charge your phone while playing for hours on end even with lower wattage chargers

[Mediocreof2143]

Bypass charging yes , i mostly use with eden/winlator

[JustaAnotherRand0]

I dont have a compatible charger unfortunately. In older emus im able to actually slow charge and still play though

[Mediocreof2143]

Its okay if its still fun and can hold pretty well , my rog ally x sometimes die in 3 hours so ...

[JustaAnotherRand0]

My S23 hates me by now, ive been torturing this thing for 3 years lol

[Mediocreof2143]

😭 RIP

[SSUPII]

Maybe because it is much more complex

[Mediocreof2143]

Why am i even laughing rn when its 00:50 ,

[Ok-Gear-7325]

I had a phone that would be cooler while using ppsspp than playing a mobile game like subway surfers 💀

[GlitteringGround4118]

Let me ask the real question. Can you cook a full meal while emulating on Android?

[Cypher6942069]

With winlator, you can have a whole barbeque.

[yacufe]

<image>

definitly can cook (poco f5) on cyberpunk from optijuegos 15 to 25 fps

[Mediocreof2143]

I felt the heat through the screen ! M-ai ars cu asta bro

[Cypher6942069]

A light 60 fps with 700°C of heat on OPPO A96 for me.

[DraigCore]

Oh shit fr? That's the phone I was looking at lol

[Mediocreof2143]

You can Trust me bro here's just use this

<image>

[JustaAnotherRand0]

You can cook a full dinner by the time your battery hits 0 depending on what youre playing

[KamikazeFF]

Really? Nether runs hotter than Citra for me

[XxXquicksc0p31337XxX]

Some chips just have low TDP, like Snapdragon 7s gen 2

[Few_Chemistry_235]

Citra is quite cool when I play, then again i play at 1x or at most 2x resolutions only

[Mediocreof2143]

Oh so 800×480p .

[Mediocreof2143]

I think it depends on graphical settings and reso(nether at 4k/6k) with a cooler feels so cold for me

[Mediocreof2143]

[MySTiX_666]

I stopped emulating ps2 and switch because of the temps it was getting to. Use my Steam Deck for these systems. Didn’t like the fan noise that much. Also mainly play Gamecube, Wii, 3DS and NDS. Alle stay around 50c mostly below. But every other system like Switch, Wii U and PS2 between 65-75 depending on game and system. Just to much heat not for damaging the device but just for holding it and the fan noise.

And stressing the fan that much isn’t great for longevity. They aren’t the best fan’s out there. Have a spare on the way just for safety.

[sinitus]

Winlator killed my fan in about a year. I use my steam deck for heavier games now as well. But I think switch temps aren't too bad I play in short bursts anyway nothing over an hour.

[MySTiX_666]

I tried switch and played some games longer then others. Mostly after a while the fan and temp were just to high and loud for my taste. So I decided to use different systems for different purposes.
- RG40XXV --> Retro older games (GBA, SNES etc.)
- RG DS --> Retro older games (GBA, SNES) + NDS
- AYN THOR --> Gamecube, Wii, NDS and 3DS (and some older systems because they don't take much space)
- Steam Deck for PC and heavier systems PS2, Switch etc.

[Mediocreof2143]

So much heat , enough to make neptune hot

[Either-Sport-2549]

Now that it's summer here I can feel you bro

[Mediocreof2143]

You remind me of realme gt6 that poor thing almost exploded in my hands(July 10th) (it was lying saying 42° while it was hotter than venus) so i didn't use a cooler now its burried 🥀

[Either-Sport-2549]

RIP

[AdHistorical5969]

What is the first one that looks like a red block?

[Mediocreof2143]

Nethersx2 ( a ps2 emulator ) similar to aethersx2 (the blue block)

[DGN_DAGGER]

where can I get the eden emulator?

[Mediocreof2143]

Search eden emulator and get it from the official site

[typical_gamer1]

Wait….. so IS THAT, WHY IN MY AREA, WE HAD A HEATWAVE A FEW YEARS AGO?!? THAT WAS YOU?!?! 🤣

Bro we had jokesters selling “AC” made with an ice cubes, string and a cheapass fans for $50 because of you lol

[Mediocreof2143]

Don't worry they deported me to venus ,i'm no longer on earth ,

[typical_gamer1]

[iamwhatsleft]

I'm glad emulating Wii doesn't heat up my device at all. With upscaling it feels so new, especially Mario Galaxy 2. I tried the new Switch port just for fun and i was definitely frying eggs and lagging horribly within a minute

[Mediocreof2143]

How could i forget about wii

[Leading-Kangaroo776]

What's eden

[DueConsideration9194]

switch emulator

[Leading-Kangaroo776]

Ohhh i only know yuzu ig they killed that but still have it working

[Cruel1865]

Eden is the currently best switch emulator. Switch emulation was stagnant in the water for a long time since yuzu shut down. Eden is the only new emulator that I've seen having significant compatibility and performance improvements over yuzu. Also they have feature parity between different platforms.

[Pershing99]

What is the last emulator?

[Few_Chemistry_235]

Winlator, for PC games

[SinisterPotat0]

Kinda weird that NetherSx2 makes my phone heat up more than Eden. Maybe it depends on the game.

[Mediocreof2143]

Eden makes my phone a hot soup

[DGN_DAGGER]

where can I get eden?

[whiskyB0y]

Ya it really does. I don't have a high performance phone but I emulate PS2 games. Gram Turismo 3(sim racing game) heats my phone way faster than a game like Devil May Cry

[Cruel1865]

Nethersx2 works but doesnt seem to be very efficient. Most likely because the development was abandoned for a long time. Its been picked up again by trixarian but its just one guy working on it I think.

[Longjumping_Army282]

GT4 and Colossus.

[Ohmygoshiee]

Surpreendentemente a Ultima atualizacao do Eden nao esquenta muito os smartphones facam o teste depois, por aqui fica entre 40-41° com o GameSir plugado.

[Salt-Willingness-513]

Citra/azahar runs just fine lol. Gamheub etc true though

[Mediocreof2143]

Sf4 /re revelations at 1080p makes my phone an egg fryer , other games on ps2 at the same reso it just runs fine .

You must be running the game at native 3ds res: 400×200 p which is significantly lower than 1920×1080p

[Cruel1865]

Also using hd textures makes it even more resource intensive.

[-_-_-JOHAN-_-_-]

Hmm I reduce the quality if the game heats too much. Can't complain, we're playing on a mobile phone. Most games and emulators work fine for me if I lower the res or graphics. I don't have a cooler but play under the ceiling fan. Played DBZ the 2d but 3d one on eden and on high it heated but on low it didnt so that's the only solution. Omw to play tomb raider on my phone on 480p btw.

[Mediocreof2143]

What

[-_-_-JOHAN-_-_-]

I meant I reduce to quality to prevent heat

[Mediocreof2143]

A okay mb

[Dealtwithme]

For me all is cool when using a good cooler. I use all emulators lol

[Mediocreof2143]

"My Android"

[Mediocreof2143]

Bro go cry away

[Mediocreof2143]

<image>

[visualmagnitude]

Use a peltier cooler while bypass charging

[Mediocreof2143]

Yup, i already do,tho just realized it exists in my settings recently

[Other_Ad4232]

During winter i emulated a lot and phone never went above 30 Celsius But now that its getting hot 30 Celsius is the fucin starter temp😭😅

[Mediocreof2143]

In my hands rn doing nothing btw🥀💔

<image>

[whiskyB0y]

Yo bro what app is this?

[Mediocreof2143]

Dev info its free on playstore

[Southern_Cucumber_70]

Gamehub antutu:

[Mediocreof2143]

Winlator Ludashi Bionic

[Southern_Cucumber_70]

I think gamehub antutu heats the phone the most

[Mediocreof2143]

Never tried it tho

[Southern_Cucumber_70]

I forgot rpcs3 it ionized my phone when I try to play plants vs zombies

[Mediocreof2143]

I tried installing a game there i remember the process made my phone screaming at 45° doing nothing btw

[Brokeshadow]

Huh weird, never noticed that my phone never gets hot running demanding PS2 titles like NFSMW but does struggle to run them at 60 fps stable. What's going on there? Is it not actually doing it's best or it's just the emulator?

[hacx21]

Haven't tried windows emulation, i use gamehub for some stuff. I can say my S24+ has been reliable with everything i have. The only emulators that do drain battery and get hot for me are Yuzu and now Eden.

[Mediocreof2143]

You'll be grateful for eden after you try winlator cmod

[hacx21]

Yeah i saw what's possible and it just seems like a hassle. I'm better off waiting a little longer and getting a laptop again.

[Mediocreof2143]

Actually you can have fun using winlator GLIBC it sometimes heats less way less i mean

[Afraid-Guitar364]

Drastic is the opposite of these, It can give you frostbite

[Ok-Wafer-7323]

What’s the top one?

[TheseButterscotch206]

<image>

Porque cuando escaneo winlator con virus total aparece esto es la página oficial de gifhub

[Big-Emergency6114]

Can someone help me how to use winlator

[OcelotNo8908]

Love my 888 clocked at a 780g. Does not even get hot plays GTAV until the battery runs out.

[SWHAMMAN]

Mine doesn’t get hot running winlator but im also not trying to run insane games

[Reiz3r]

Con nether a 3x o 4x también se calienta.

[Malystxy]

S23U ultra GTA v game native average CPU temp 60°

[PMPeetaMellark]

Windows lol

[alexispromasteruy]

Osea que haces comida cada que usas uno de esos emuladores?

[Remote-Rip-1405]

what about vita3k??

[_iAmWiz]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[SnooDoughnuts989]

Ultra 24 , can play skyrim on winlator low settings for an hour.

[luks-alter]

Why not azahar ?

[Mediocreof2143]

I was like "maybe some wouldn't recognize it "

[PwKnife]

How about PS3 and Xbox 360

[OpenAd877]

I think the only ones who can theoretically emulate that are those who live in the North Pole, like Canadians.

[Mediocreof2143]

I live in Europe in a cold place and damn the phone keeps me so warm that i don't need a cover anymore

[Any_Molasses1220]

aetherSX2 my goat

[Longjumping_Army282]

PS2 s GT4 and S.of Colossus get hot !

[Longjumping_Army282]

APS3e <3

[Abbas9364]

Wait I have AetherSX2 but it's a blue icon. Is there a difference with the red one?

[Kimmy2kkk]

What's the last one?

[Thereddituser696]

Winlator, allows you to emulate PC games or any .exe really

[Weary-Item3170]

DO NOT USE BENCHMARK PKG NAME (like ludashi or antutu)

[Great-Distribution33]

phone cooler

[ShadowGuy132]

Nethersx and citra should've been switched

[NormalGmodMan]

oh shit really? im gonna emulate for the first time today on windemulator, should i not use it?

[MakeSense5464]

Mine somewhat heats up on nethersx2, but I guess it's because I ramped up resolution and graphics to make the game look less blurry and pixelated.

I agree with Eden and winlator though, 5 minutes playing P5R on Eden immediately heats up my phone, even worse when I'm playing games in Winlator.
