Right now, there are three different developers trying to port GTA V to Android, and one of them succeeded.

I can't share the link because of the rules "no piracy" and its chinese

Can’t help but just stare at this device and have joy over the beauty I created from a tornado of files and apps called android OS. Looks like a legit console
Device: AYN Odin 2 Portal base model

Btw, psp is kinda scary on this thing. Usually the games being played are smaller than OG, however with the PSP being so small, the games are far bigger than OG hardware with this 7 inch screen. PSP had a 4.3 inch screen.

This is my first title i completed on an Android emulator.

winlator Ludashi 4.0

realme gt neo 3T (8gb ram)

My phone is Redmi turbo 4 pro 16GB 521gb and I'm first time in emulation in phone, need help

What pc games are actually possible to finish rn on gamehub with snapdragon 8 elite?

Still... the best way to play GTA V on mobile is the PC version using Gamehub, Gamenative, Winlator or for me... Bannerhub, PS3 Version still won Boot on ARMSX3/RPCSX, Switch homebrew was better than Xbox 360 version in FPS but both of them still got stuck in the middle of gaming.... Can't wait the Android Port to be available

Hi everyone! I'm mostly used to DS/GBA/SNES emulation but since I now have a modded DSi, I don't really need to do that on my phone. I really wanna play some ocarina of time or mgs if possible!

ARMSX3 0.9.7

What's new:

Games:

Batman: Arkham City, fixed the GPU hang on 8 elite devices. The cause was the graphics-to-compute engine transition on Adreno 830, not the number of dispatches: the 32/16 byteswap and the D24S8 depth gather now run as fragment-shader passes on the graphics pipe instead of compute dispatches, and textures large enough to matter no longer take the GPU conversion path at all. Compute dispatches per frame went from over ten thousand to one. Both the batsuit drop and the Two-Face cutscene pass. The graphics-pipe conversions are gated to Qualcomm GPUs. (This may help other games as well).

Minecraft, fixed the hang and the texture colour corruption. The readback byteswap was rewriting guest memory including stride padding the DMA never wrote; it is now off by default. (This may help other games as well).

The RSX no longer desyncs its handshake with the guest when a label is slow: it waits the driver timeout rather than ten times it, which had turned a single slow frame into a permanently offset producer/consumer pair.

Stability:

A lost GPU device now stops the emulator cleanly instead of killing the RSX thread, which presented as a freeze with audio still playing and no way to close the game. The loss is latched at every wait in the RSX loop rather than three of them, recovery is bounded to two attempts, and the swapchain is never rebuilt on a lost device.

Bounded the OUT_OF_DATE swapchain acquire retry instead of spinning forever, and the per-flip acquire loop with it. The SUBOPTIMAL rebuild latch is cleared when the surface is actually rebuilt, so one suboptimal frame no longer pins the swapchain into permanent rebuilds.

The vblank source no longer terminates itself when a single vblank event fails to send. One lost event used to leave the guest hung after gcm init with everything looking idle.

Fixed several Vulkan spec violations found with the validation layers: two in device creation, touching un-acquired swapchain images, a stale feedback-loop layout, and a hardcoded compositeAlpha that is not always supported. Multi-draw is gated on the resolved function pointers rather than the feature bit.

Crash reporting restores debuggerd rather than SIG_DFL when the fault handler re-enters, and the foreign-fault report is capped so it cannot stall ART's garbage collector.

Performance and battery:

Three places where the emulator was burning CPU while doing nothing useful. None of these change how anything looks, they free up CPU time and stop the phone heating for no reason.

Waits that were meant to send a core to sleep were spinning at full speed instead on Snapdragon 8 Elite class devices, both in the graphics command loop and in the memory system. They now sleep properly.

Textures were being handed back and forth between two states on every transfer, every time, for no benefit. That work is gone.

The log no longer fills with a shader warning on every shader compile.

Audio:

New Recording-compatible audio toggle. Oboe's low-latency path uses an MMAP stream that Android's AudioPlaybackCapture cannot see, so screen recordings captured no game audio even though it was audible. Turning this on trades a little latency for recordable audio. Also fixed a pause storm in the Oboe backend.

Settings:

Fixed an issue where games would run uncapped.

Max SPURS Threads is no longer silently written into a per-game override when you never asked for one. It was persisting itself per title, so a value you set once followed that game around invisibly.

All Settings chosen in All Core Settings can be filtered down to just the settings you have actually overridden, so you can see at a glance what you have changed away from the defaults, with a forget button per-setting.

Upstream (84 commits from RPCS3):

u/kd-11 (41 commits), a large rebuild of the blit engine and surface cache. Blitted images should be sharper and more correct: interpolation is no longer applied when the game did not ask for it, the swizzle flag is carried through properly, BGRA8 format selection is fixed, and blit targets no longer straddle tile boundaries or conflict on pitch. A framebuffer section leak was fixed, and the RSX generates far fewer memory faults when the CPU touches memory it does not care about. Blit engine upscaling is enabled again, it had been switched off upstream as a temporary measure while this work was in progress, and upscaling now applies to blit resources too. Separately, two broken ZCULL optimizations are fixed (both tested for an exact copy length where a partial copy is legal), guest synchronisation with host GPU operations is improved, and NV4097_NOTIFY now forces a backend sync because notify ticks are strongly ordered.

u/elad335 (7 commits), savestate fixes for sys_prx and sys_overlay.

u/Masamune3210 (2 commits), unpkg path normalization and canonicalization failure handling.

u/WalterKruger, SHUFB known-constant fast paths in the SPU LLVM recompiler.

u/Yahfz, rsx/fp SAT and ABS modifier precedence.

u/Acts1631, bounds-checking Cg binary byte swapping.

u/RipleyTom, ticket encoding check.

All of this was tested on Turnip Gen8 V34/V35 on an Odin 3, thank you to the folks at AYN for sending me an Odin 3 for development! And a big thanks to Dash from The Bryant Review for getting me in contact with them! Be sure to check out their article on PS3 mobile emulation when it arrives!

My device is OnePlus 13R. 8Gen3. 12gb RAM. The game crashes after 3 to 5 races. And during each race, the game experiences constant frame rate drops. Any solutions?

This engine.ini intention is to improve performance and also reduce power draw and temp. Feel free to try it out and tweak it to your preferences. Performance may vary , it's better when I'm not recording

I just tweaked it to my liking and added some changes.

I'm curious because I'd like a way to get an idea of how they perform by themselves in something like geekbench since gamehub allows you to turn off CPU cores (so the emulator doesn't use them for the game). I just tried running stray with both the large cores disabled and it ran just as well but the CPU temps was almost 20°c lower compared to what they was (50°c instead of 70°c but I haven't played more than 10 minutes since I changed it so it could increase a slight bit more but it's definitely running cooler). I'll try experimenting once I have a bit of free time, I suspect I'll probably be able to run the game on 4 or 5 cores instead of the current 6 if the M cores can exceed an i5 2550ks performance (listed as the minimum requirement for this game) 70°c is where my phones battery passes 40°c (it got upto 43°c today after 2 hours and I prefer temps below 40°c)

This game doesn't seem to use the GPU fully it only uses 50-65% and goes to 0 with hard dips in performance that makes it unplayable, any fixes by anyone , I've seen people on YouTube get 30-40 FPS on 8 gen 2 ( same CPU ) but I hardly get above 20-30 and very hard dips that make it unplayable, proton10 armx2 , dxvk 1.103, latest turnip drivers of bannerhub , thank you

Redmagic 11 pro 1Tb

I was playing hollow knight (just trying to radiant pure vessel nothing else) yesterday and the power draw was idling around 5.5-6w and I was able to play comfortably on 120fps. But today I opened the game and for some reason it downloaded a new firmware and what Im seeing now is 11w with steadily rising temperature to top it off (I was getting around 50° yesterday).

Im pretty new to emulating and the only troubleshooting I could do was basic surface stuff like adjust the framegen from clear to flow, turn off hdr, super resolution and the on demand screen-recording that I was hoping to utilize so I could clown on my friend who hitless PV on pc and restarted the app for good measure. Nothing changed

What did have impact is me changing the performance profile of the phone from Rise to Balance and it did help with the power draw (lowered it to the values of yesterday) but it also lowerer the fps, down to like 70. Its servicable, somewhat, but I was able to play on 120 with no cons so Im wondering what could be the cause? Im suspecting its firmware but as an entry level user I have no idea how to fix that so I thought tossing the problem to random internet people was the best choice. Help please tyvm.
