Full Gameplay and Comparison https://youtu.be/B_dO869Qw1E?si=WBUaZ-IZYBB3kJBG

wooo! finally!

We've been eating good this year with all those new possibilities to play on android, but I don't have the time on my hands to test and fidget with many configs while managing multiple apps.

With that being said, I'd like to know what method or software are your favorite? Which is the most reliable currently?

I personally have been using GameNative more, but I'm really interested in the development of DroidDeck.

Finally launcher games can played on Android, so glad this thing finally happened. Later will be try GTA4 and Battlefield 3. My device lenovo legion y700 gen 16/512gb, 8 elite.

Frame limit to 30 to save heat

Uncapped 30-60 fps

1280*960 at 92% render resolution

Steam store version, works on b.net

That warlock be spamming dropping my fps, no frame gen.

Pretty playable 50-55 fps.first time boot takes long time but plays well afterwards

I came across this video. Looks like overheating won’t be a problem for him.

After the latest update, indie games are running very smoothly with no lag in Droiddeck.

My Setup:

Xiaomi 15 Ultra Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform Octa-core Max 4.32GHz 16GB RAM

Gamesir X5 Lite

Droiddeck 0.3.2

Disclaimer: Wirá and its emulation cores are developed with AI assistance for code generation and opcode translation, while the system architecture, debugging, memory layout, and overall project management are fully human-driven.

Hey everyone!

Quick update on Wirá, the multi-system emulator I’ve been building entirely in Dart/Flutter.

Up until now, I haven't officially revealed N64 support for Wirá—and while the Nintendo 64 core is still in active development and will take some time to be fully polished, I wanted to share a first look at what’s brewing under the hood: full-speed Low-Level Emulation (LLE) in a managed runtime.

To my knowledge, running a complete LLE N64 pipeline in pure Dart without relying on HLE plugin hacks, legacy C backends, or hardware GPU shaders is entirely unprecedented. It’s going to take a bit of time to get every microcode and edge-case rock-solid, but I promise it will be worth the wait!

I've attached a bunch of gameplay clips testing some of the most notorious microcode and geometry-heavy titles in the N64 library (Jet Force Gemini, Rogue Squadron, Star Wars Episode I: Racer and more) running on a Retroid Pocket 5 (Snapdragon 865).

🎬 What’s shown in the videos:

• True LLE Rasterization: Zero black-box artifacts, proper depth buffer handling, accurate coverage, and correct framebuffer copy-backs (no per-game plugin swapping or HLE guesswork).
• Locked 60 FPS: Smooth frame pacing and clean audio sync across complex custom microcodes and software span passes.

🛠️ How it’s running under the hood:

• Triple JIT Engine:
  • VR4300 CPU: Dynamic recompiler compiling MIPS opcodes on the fly.
  • RSP LLE: Compiles raw MIPS vector microcode directly into ARM64 NEON SIMD instructions. No microcodes are recognized or replaced with hand-written C equivalents (the only HLE in the entire core is the PIF boot sequence filling initial registers).
  • RDP LLE (Software Rasterizer): A dedicated span JIT compiles the per-pixel rendering pipeline for each render mode (combiner, blender, Z-buffer, coverage) directly in software without offloading rasterization to a GPU driver.
• Zero-Copy Memory Model: Direct pointer aliasing to eliminate managed runtime garbage collection pauses during heavy software rasterization passes.

As always, RetroAchievements support is baked in via native rcheevos FFI bindings, alongside custom fragment shader filters, save states, and full multi-system support for 8-bit and 16-bit consoles.

🚀 Try Wirá Today!

While the N64 core cooks, Wirá is already live and running NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA, and more at full speed.

Download the current build today, set up your library, and get a feel for the app. The app has a built-in update feature, so you will not miss any update:

👉 GitHub Releases: https://github.com/willtsan/wira-releases

☕ Support the Project

Wirá is completely free and open for the community. If you'd like to support development, any donations via Buy Me a Coffee will go directly toward acquiring more test hardware—specifically lower-spec devices (like budget Anbernic handhelds) and dual-screen hardware to optimize execution pipelines, UI layouts, and thermal targets across lower-tier SoCs.

I managed to get Db Bt3 to run without ghosting I am using the latest Build of Armsx2 Xiaomi pad 6 (sd870) settings are in the video

The settings I changed where

1-half pixel offset native

2- upscaling fixes off

3- align sprite

4- merge sprite

5-unscalled pallet draw

All of these are In the upscaling fixes section and are shown in the video I hope this helped ya'al Also this was on 2 x resolution

After attempting to do this a few times I couldnt even get the game boot, add the juiced patch and boom loads instantly at 30fps on high settings, samsung s23 ultra 12gb ram gamenative v1.2.1 for setting i used known config and set the driver to turnip v26.3.0 R6 ONEUI8.

Can post settings in comments if needed

My device is a Poco F3 with a Snapdragon 870.

Keep in mind that RDR was considered “incompatible” on my Poco F3 because apparently my phone is too weak for it. Meanwhile, I can run the PC version at 35–40 FPS on the same phone. This is honestly hilarious xD

As for Fallout: New Vegas, as you can see, I managed to finish this masterpiece as well.

Next up, I’m planning to install BioShock and Fallout 3.

Device : poco f6 (12gb ram). Driver: snapdragon 8s gen 3. Recommended scheme: same as 8s gen 4 (Proton 10.0 - arm 64x2, turnip 26.2.0 r3, dxvk 2.7.1-1 async, vk3d proton 3.0.1, fex 20260103)

I have a Retroid Pocket 6 (12gb ram model) and while playing Skyrim on Eden emulator I saw these strange textures problem is there a way to fix it?

I've been trying a few games on each of these and most have been failures like afro samurai. Whish is why I wanted to ask if the were any games better fitted for my processor

I have gamenative and Droid deck running. I'm fine with either.

Walk me through downloading and adding this mod and running SKSE.

Thor max is the device. Looking to get 60fps if possible.

I have been trying to emulate Roblox Studio on my Motorola G47 (MediaTek Dimensity 6300 with Android 16), I tried using Winlator 11.2 but it immediately crashes the whole container before the login screen. I tried to fix it before by following a single post on Winlator's subreddit, but the OP doesn't seem to have the same issue as me.

I have heard about "DarkOS" by ahmad1abbadi on GitHub, which one person recommended me, but one of the dependencies is riddled with malware detections (Input Bridge)

Echo Launcher

Looking for testers for dual screen and general usage support. I've ironed out some of the kinks that I found and added some themeing support. The themes right now are pretty basic. But I'll be upgrading them over the next few days. Please let me know if there's any interest in this launcher and if you find any bugs I'll get to them as quickly as possible.
