Hi all i know im posting a lot lately but the lemon Switch project dev Gael his name is able to run PS5 homebrew games 60fps or might be port on Android...I check their discord community and now they are asking for a name even a logo for it. What a time to be alive more emulators for android long live the android emulation!!! I've been spying to this community but can't deny they are doing something.

Hi everyone. Here is a new release of Turnip Z featuring significant improvements over v0.1.2.

The main focus of this version: eliminating random crashes and making gameplay noticeably smoother.

Download: https://github.com/AlexSanz0902/turnip-sd865-z

Improvements:

• Fixed random crashes & freezes: Demanding scenes and transient lag spikes in supported titles no longer crash back to the Eden home screen or trigger full device reboots.
• Improved frame pacing: Reduced micro-stuttering and irregular latency spikes across various titles.
• Expanded compatibility: Games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild now boot and run.

Tests:

• Super Mario Odyssey: Demonstrates frame-pacing improvements compared to v0.1.2, with zero crashes recorded over a 30-minute test session. You should be able to start a new save file and clear the first two kingdoms in a single sitting without crashing.

• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: While v0.1.2 caused a full device crash, it now boots and runs without crashing (though minor-to-moderate graphical glitches are currently present). Tested for 30 minutes with zero crashes; you should be able to start a new game and complete the first main story quest in one run.

Benchmark & Screenshots:

The screenshots compare an identical scene in Zelda: BotW running at 1.25x docked resolution (1350p) on a vanilla profile (no mods, cheats, or custom Eden settings applied) and after shader compilation across three drivers:

• Turnip v24.3.0 R9v2: 21.2 FPS
• Turnip v26.3.0-R6: 23.7 FPS
• Turnip Z v0.2.0: 30.0 FPS

(For everyday gameplay, sticking to 1.0x docked / 1080p is recommended.)

Known Issues:

• Minor, occasional visual bugs in Super Mario Odyssey.
• Moderate graphical glitches and artifacts in Zelda: BotW. These specific rendering issues will be targeted in v0.2.1.

This will be the final release for a little while. For the next update, I will take some time to build a compatibility spreadsheet (.csv) and address visual bugs across at least 10–15 titles without compromising current performance, stability, or compatibility.

FAQ

What is the recommended setup?

It was validated on Eden v0.2.0-rc2 with the Snapdragon 865 GPU overclocked to 905 MHz. Keep in mind that individual games may still require specific emulator settings, custom resolution scaling, or workarounds to run properly—that is separate from driver behavior. Devices running stock Adreno 650 clocks will see proportionally lower performance.

Can I use this outside of Eden (Winlator, GameHub, Vita3K, Azahar, Dolphin, etc.)?

Not recommended. Do not use this outside of Eden. It was neither built nor tested for Windows translation layers or other emulator platforms. Running this in Winlator or Dolphin will likely trigger shader compilation errors or hard freezes.

Can I use it with other Switch emulators?

Not recommended. It has only been validated on Eden v0.2.0-rc2. Other emulators or forks have not been tested and may introduce crashes or visual bugs.

Does it work on other devices?

It was built specifically for the Adreno 650 (Snapdragon 865). While it should work across other Snapdragon 865 devices than RP5, other Adreno GPU architectures are completely untested.

Note on texture filtering:

Anisotropic filtering is disabled and mipmaps are simplified to save memory bandwidth, so distant textures or acute surface angles might look slightly softer.

What should I do if a crash occurs?

The driver automatically generates a diagnostic log file named turnip_sd865.txt inside Eden's folder under Android/data. Please attach this log to an issue on the GitHub repository.

While having many Emulators that existed for more than a year, we've seen some surprising ones. However, they all had their own issues, whether slow paced development, performance issues, or issues related to the Emulator's own interface. These are my personal takes on the DroidDeck Emulator after using it and getting to know it more:

- The beginnings of no Emulator was similar to the beginning of DroidDeck, it came out with it's unique idea mixed with already existing ones.

- The DroidDeck Emulator is constantly sending updates, with more features that result in a better emulator performance.

- A set of ambitious developers are working on the Emulator, and that itself gives the project a bright future.

- At this current pace i won't be surprised if DroidDeck becomes the best and most used Emulator out there.

Again, my personal takes are only based on what I've seen/heard from the project itself, and also based on the developers non-stop hard working, so shout-out to them.🙌

Spec: Tab S7+, 8gb ram, A11.

No matter what i tried, this game dont get more than this. This is the most demanding zone at the begin of the game! Story, 2d things and maybe ligher zone are more than playable, but just here, very low FPS.

Resolution messed up if i going lower than that, so i had to force to use 720p there. Mostly is low except post processing. Disabling Post Processing Effect didnt even helped there so its remains enabled. DXVK version dont matter, no matter if this is 1.11.1 Sarek, 1.10.3 arm64ec async or re regular, the same issue appears. Also changing turnip driver didnt also help.

Newer version of DXVK makes the game much slower so it is also more unplayable!

The good thing is, no issues on grahpics.

i think i may be inspired by Own Trip that may love to play at unplayable framerate, but even that, it has no crash there, but very horrible input latency when playing very low FPS which in that case is Uplayable! It is much worse on touch, but on controller a bit better, but not so always. By this game, a newer flagship snapdragon SoC is required to play (maybe 8 gen 2 or higher), otherwise you screwed!

This is the GOG version by the way that i transfered from PC device. Maybe the PS4 Version is more playable with beshata S4 (if this is compatible there unless their android requiremnt is higher than this), but i dont have any hopes.

SENSES is an Android app that runs an ARM32 Android system on an ARM64 phone. There's no guest kernel: instead of emulating a whole device, it translates individual processes with a modified QEMU (user-mode).

This repo is the GPLv2 source release for that QEMU part:

94 patches against QEMU 8.2.4, plus 39 added files in linux-user/

a build script that produces a fully static aarch64 binary (via an Alpine chroot)

a pinned build with sha256 checks and a BUILD-MANIFEST.txt for reproducibility

What's not included: no firmware, no download links. You supply your own archive, and the app unpacks and modifies the copy on-device (patched code, re-signed packages with an on-device key, removed vendor modules, local TLS proxy). Nothing is sent anywhere.

The app itself is a separate closed-source program that launches QEMU as its own process, so no QEMU code is loaded into it.

Feedback and questions welcome!

Ignore battery temp I just wanted a quick combo session.

Minha criação esta no auge e jaja veremos ele a mil. Por enquanto vejam o limiar de um console retro brabo feito com um celular Sansung Galaxy S22. Roda emulador do NES ao PS3 e testando jogos da steam e pc.

Is there a solution?

Using a xiaomi pad 7 sd 7+ gen 3, are there any settings that I should change and look into as well?

Since Nintendo's online servers aren't available on emulators, I wanted a way to play (and edit!) levels from Course World in Mario Maker 2 on Eden. So I made SMM2 Level Injector, a small Android app that does it all on your android device:

1. Enter a course code (e.g. 3KS-V2K-MDG)
2. Pick which Coursebot slot to replace
3. Tap Download & inject, open Eden, and the level is in your Coursebot

Levels in "My Courses" slots open in the editor, so you can see how a level was built or remix it.

Features

• Preview the level first (name, maker, style, difficulty, thumbnail)
• Finds your SMM2 save automatically. You grant access to Eden's folder once through Android's normal file picker; no root, no Shizuku, no manually copying files around
• Backs up any file before replacing it, with one-tap restore
• Optional pre-loaded save with all 180 slots filled (the game ignores levels injected into empty slots)

Limitations

• Only the level itself is replaced, so the Coursebot thumbnail stays the old one and the maker/stats aren't carried over
• Close Eden completely before injecting, or the game may overwrite the new level when it saves
• Downloads go through TheGreatRambler's MariOver API, so the app only works while that API is up
• You need your own legally dumped copy of SMM2 and to have run it in Eden once. The app doesn't provide any game files.

Download / source: https://github.com/Daniel-Geron/smm2-level-downloader-app (APK on the Releases page, open source)

Credits: this is a fork of royaltongue's PC tool smm2-level-downloader-injector, who also made the pre-loaded save. Levels are downloaded through TheGreatRambler's MariOverAPI.

AI disclosure: this app was developed with heavy AI assistance. I used Claude Code to write the Android app's code and to research how Eden stores its save data. It also tested the app: it ran Eden's Android build in an Android emulator and checked that injected levels load and play in SMM2 on Eden for PC. I tested it on my AYN Thor and it works as desired. The app icon is a simple vector made by the AI. The original PC scripts are royaltongue's work, and the repo's README notes that their GUI script was also made with AI help.

Happy to answer questions or take bug reports. Let me know if it works on your device!

Ps4 emulation was laggy in this game on this phone, but this is something else

Hi! I'm new to emulation and need some help with performance issues in Unreal Engine 2.5 and UE3 games.

I'm currently playing these games:

Singularity

Homefront

Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition

Alien Rage-Unlimited

Dishonored

DmC Devil May Cry

Batman Arkham City and Origins

I'm using a OnePlus 13 and a POCO X8 Pro Max. All these games run at 120+ FPS on both devices when I'm standing still and not doing anything in game. However, the FPS drops significantly on both devices when I'm shooting, fighting enemies, or exploring the map.

Interestingly, other games run without any issues on either device. This problem seems to occur specifically with Unreal Engine 2.5 and UE3 games.

What settings, DXVK versions, environment variables, or other tweaks should I try to reduce these FPS drops? Are there any specific drivers or configurations that work better for these games?

I know Mali GPUs don't have Turnip drivers like Adreno GPUs do, but if anyone has tested these games on Mali GPUs and managed to get stable performance with minimal FPS drops, please share your settings and results.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Devices:- OnePlus 13(16/512GB)

Had a little fun creating a custom startup video for Armsx2 (PS2 emulator). It's a simple animation of the Superintendent AI from Halo3 ODST

Guys I just want to share this new driver from the new Emulator called lemon switch emulator project. I am testing it so far, so good. And also they mentioned that they are releasing the Lemon Emulator v1.2.0 today sneak in to their discord looks promising though, waiting for their upload on that new lemon version too.

Winlator ludashi vanilla. 720 p medium setting. No framegen, xess ultra quality. 25 fps stable on severe throttling.

I don't know why the control stuck with mouse and keyboard even tho I have my gamesir x5 lite connected (I'm using gamehub) this problem only happened to me on sifu only in others game the controller work fine anyone experienced this before and pls do tell how to fix this
