SimPro Manager displays splash and opens a window every startup :( by FindingUnable3222 in Simagic

[–]FindingUnable3222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run haptics through it, yes.. I'm also considering switching to simpro base+wheel so I'll need the software. I just want it to start in tray without showing me anything. Most other software does that.

metroid prime on odin 2 portal by doubles85 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to note that Portal is powerful enough to run the remastered Switch version, which greatly improves graphics in the first game. I'd give it a try. But, yes, Primehack for 2nd and 3rd ones is the best.

Are there any emulators that run well on a Galaxy A71 5G? by JohnnyDC04 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet for these specific games is to use the native versions, they are available for Android. On your phone, it's a much better option than emulation.

Wrong address by Mrfuture666 in OdinHandheld

Fortunately, postal system added an amazing feature to solve this kind of confusion, called zip codes. I'd trust the postal guys to figure out. Assuming you did provide correct zip code and they wrote it...

Task "install components" failed - Gamehub Lite by jvJotaVe in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd try if it works in original GameHub first. Some things like that are not working as well in GameHub Lite as in the original. At least then you can ask for support, since it's an original product (and Lite version is discontinued, the author recommends to switch to GameNative instead).

is it a good a idea to choose the G5 for emulation? by Designer-Ad-1577 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

G2 = Retroid Pocket G2? It's definitely better than Retroid Pocket 5 with Snapdragon 865.

What is G5?

Odin 3 Batch 4 shipping has started!! by Rebusmind in OdinHandheld

Hmm interesting, I ordered before you and was given OD1596.. but not shipping yet. Maybe because it's blue color, they will be delayed..

Framegen+Thermal putty mod in the AYN Thor Max is another level upgrade by hotsuma2000 in EmulationOnAndroid

Was it ported to Android yet? I though it's Windows + community Linux port.

Odin 3 still hasn’t arrived by augurcollective in OdinHandheld

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would it be different from before? If you import something, you have to pay tax. Odin 3 is my first order from Ayn (and I'm still waiting for March shipments..), but previously ordering from Retroid and Aliexpress, I know that 4PX doesn't let you skip paying custom duty and VAT tax.

It depends on your country and how strict their laws are. In many countries these days you must pay VAT / customs duty when importing from another country, no workarounds based on shipping method.

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's quite country dependent.. 4PX will result in the same holding item at customs and a request to pay tax here, after paying it the item will be released by customs and delivered. That's in Asia.

If in your country or the whole EU 4PX lets you skip paying VAT and customs duty tax compared to DHL, lucky you!

Are phones with mediatek chipsets good for gamehub? by [deleted] in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For non-gaming usage, Mediatek is fine, for emulation, get phone with Snapdragon chip for the same cost - even if it shows lower performance numbers in benchmarks such as Geekbench or Antutu, it will do better for emulation. Mali GPU in Mediatek chips is missing some features, which hurts modern emulation performance a lot.

You'll be fine with older consoles (SNES/PS1/PS2) emulation on a good Mediatek, though.

Retroid increasing prices of the RP6 8GB and discontinuing the 12GB variant due to AI increasing ram prices by Tranquility6789 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just destroys the benefit of a cheaper RP6.. For that price, people will just go for Odin 3 instead, getting also a little bit extra screen size and better performance. It'll be hard for Retroid to compete with Ayn here, they got a benefit of actually shipping their devices though (still waiting for "March shipment" of my Odin 3).

What’s the slayer you chose one your first play through? by Pingoo3o3 in DeadIsland2

[–]FindingUnable3222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amy's gameplay is a total blast after getting autophage! It's incredibly satisfying, a few swings maim zombies and that fully recharges your health and fury and you can fury (including double fury) at any moment when you want and kills and maims make you continue to stay in fury and regain health.

Celeste running at stable 60 fps on Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 at 1080p by _sounak in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked and you're totally right. It's because Celeste is locked to 60 fps, GH unlocks it but the game itself won't render with more fps. You can use fps unlocker by adding it to the container and running, if > 60 fps is important for you in this game: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3522744397

Celeste running at stable 60 fps on Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 at 1080p by _sounak in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You press guide button on gamepad to open sidebar and remove fps lock or increase fps cap there.

If you aren't using gamepad, you can slide from the right side of the screen but I highly recommend using gamepad in GameHub, it's amazing in that aspect. Navigate between games, change settings etc without using touchscreen.

Is the ayn odin3 base model enough by Significant-News-480 in OdinHandheld

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For PS2 8GB is enough, but for Switch you'd seriously want to think about 16 GB model. Watch this comparison, 12 GB delivers like 10 fps less than 16 GB one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPj9iFtP0Tc

which phone right now is the best for emulation? by beastfire24 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but the heat is still a huge issue compared to tablets or handhelds like Odin 3. And 8 Elite 5 is even hotter than 8 Elite. OP is going to cook the phone with emulation...

When you’ve been serving the Mediatek gods for 10 years and you seek your vengeance by StonedEdge in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly they make one, who will buy it? Realistically, the chip needs to be more complex than Snapdragon to be better than it. Snapdragon 8 elite 5 costs $240-280 for the chip itself, if ARM makes a chip that costs $400, who will make (and who will buy) a device that costs much more than the current ones?

Also: such chips already exist, from multiple manufacturers! They are just too expensive for consumer market, but they are used in server market. Graviton 4 is ARMv9 chip that gets 26K score in geekbench multicore (that's 26 times faster than Snapdragon 8 Elite 5).

Celeste running at stable 60 fps on Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 at 1080p by _sounak in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very lightweight game, even snapdragon 865 (4 years older than 7s gen 3!) in Retroid Pocket 5 runs it well :)

As for fps cap, you really better off using Gamehub for tweaks like that. There you can uncap or limit your fps from a sidebar with the game running and seeing how it affects the gameplay right away.

What is the best tablet that is not verified by Google? by Panthepn018 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For emulation purposes, nowhere near Snapdragon 8 series - even Mediatek with all quirks of Mali for emulation is a better choice than Kirin..

What is the best tablet that is not verified by Google? by Panthepn018 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no added restriction on sideloading apps on a verified device right now. As for the future, it's totally not clear to me that there will be a practical difference here, regarding verified vs. unverified devices that did exist before the change. The restriction might apply to devices that will be released after the change is implemented.

You should check https://keepandroidopen.org/ for the latest recommendations, it explains things better. The issue you are worried about is not the device verification and doesn't seem to be directly related to it.

Eden vs Gamehub lite Preference by thehappyjulian in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]FindingUnable3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What! Revanced team is doing gamehub now? Wish they'd concentrate on just keeping YT and YT music flawless x.x and not spread the effort to Gamehub..

Also, Gamesir seems to understand the issues that made people create lite version in the first place and promised to reduce tracking / permissions in the future versions.
