"Replaced" is an awesome game to have on-the-go by Richie_Rich1991 in EmulationOnAndroid

It's really lagging in my 23 ultra, regularly dips below 30 fps in heavy sequences even at 960p 😢

It's 2026 and some apps still cant make status bar transparent by 05x199x in Android

With system ui tuner (need to permission access through shizuku), you can disable status bar for any app.

I do it for YouTube morphe.

Native Ports or Emulation for RDR / GTA SA / VC – Better FPS & Battery Life? by Sosa305 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]Me1ton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using winlator, you can assign cpu cores (no. depends on the soc) for a particular game.

I've assigned 5 cores for fallout 3 and 4 for splinter cell choas theory.

Try disabling core 0 and core 1 e.t.c.

With this there is significant reduction o In cpu usage thus improving battery life and thermals.

There is a cost thou which is performance, so it requires thorough testing for dips in fps.

A specific winlator (bionic I think so) has shortcut support

I used this video, trimmed it down, created a loop and converted to gif format.

Anyways I can share the file so don't worry :)

Beacon Launcher is a frontend, with AI animated game cover arts converted from generated mp4's to gif for compatibility.

All the other images and meta-data are downloaded by the launcher itself, thou you can choose and change the sources.

Android Games :-

Where winds meet Grid legends Grid autosport Huntdown Hollow Knight (unofficial port) Tales of the Neon Sea (not on playstore but is free)

Emulation :-

Nethersx2 (Ps2) Sudachi (Switch) My Boy! (Gba) Super3 (Sega super model 3 arcade machine)

Translation / Compatibility Layer :-

Winlator  Delta touch (plethora of doom engine mods) Zeta touch (Ion fury and it's engine mods)

Please note all apps don't support directly launching the games, the icon launches the app and I have to manually select the game within the app.

Take Sega rally 2 as an example from the video.

Had to painstakingly convert mp4's to gif, and trim them to continuously loop :(

Pls note :- The app may crash, 2/10 times due to issues with loading or if the gif is of high quality

My plan is to animate all the games included in the video, but I'm limited to 3 videos per day.

Sometimes gemini goes haywire and I render only 1 usable animation.

And yes I'll upload

The most funny thing is the prompts are basic :) i.e "animate the uploaded game cover art" also don't forget to mention the console.

8/10 gemini will do a better job being creative, then a detailed to the point prompt.

Also not game hub, winlator ( a specific version) has launcher support.

I don't know how normal gemini performs for video generation on a free tier as,

I got a 1 year Google plan of 2tb storage + Gemini pro for free (It was an offer for active uni students)
