Discussion Concept: ONE app that installs and configures any game

1 Upvotes

TL;DR: A concept for one app that installs, configures and launches any game for you, and plugs into the frontend you already use. Not something I'm building; I just want your take. Video above.

Why

I own an Odin 3, and between decomp/recomp ports, GameHub/GameNative/DroidDeck + emulators, there is a lot of setup. I liked u/maddietendo post on Decomp Buddy, and I think that it can be taken a step further.

The idea: 1 app. All the games. Configured for you.

  • Every game is there from day one. Pick it → Download → Play. Behind the scenes it chooses the native port, emulator or Windows layer and sets up whatever else the game needs.

  • Settings tuned for your exact device, along a Battery ↔ Performance slider. They'd come from:

    1. community data, like EmuReady,

    2. other players with the same hardware,

    3. a short automatic test if you're the first one.

  • Not Android-only. On Windows, Linux or macOS it would pick that system's emulators.

It runs games, it's not another frontend

WhatYour frontendOne
Browse, themes, collections✅
Get the game and the files it needs✅
Pick port, emulator or Windows layer✅
Tune settings for your device✅
Launch✅ you press Play✅ starts it

The UI in the video is just one way to show it.

Concerns

"You bring nothing" means the backend would have to provide the games, BIOS, firmware and keys.

  • ✅ Store logins (Steam, GOG, Epic) and homebrew: clearly fine.

  • ⚠️ The rest: as things stand, piracy in most places.

Feedback

Personally, I would use it. For those who are not super tinkerers and just want to play, and also not have to manage a library and how to obtain each game, I think it would be great. How doable is it? Technically, it's more doable now than ever (for better or for worse). I think that the legality of it is the biggest concern.

Either way, some ideas can also be picked up and thought about, like the hardware testing to try and find the best parameter configuration for each device.

What's missing, wrong, or would you do differently?

Discussion Finally got FF Resonance running at a solid 60FPS, the NX2Android fork worked instantly.

So I've been trying to get this game running well since it dropped. Eden, Lemon and Citron all had issues no matter what settings I tried.

I don't own a PC, so I tried the x86 version of NX2Android on GameHub Lite as I’d done this with NSP Box does it, but it wouldn't boot.

I then tried the x86 version through Boot Camp on my Intel Mac, but after spending most of an afternoon on it, I couldn't get the port to finish. Droidplay had the same problem.

I'd been told NX2Android had a fork but that it was unstable, so I'd written it off. Since it was my last resort, I gave it a shot anyway, and it just instantly worked.

No workarounds needed. I simply pointed it at the specific files for the base game, updates and DLC, then added the DLL file for lossless scaling. The UI is clean and intuitive, It's been a locked 60FPS with no issues since.

If you haven't heard of this fork, I can't recommend it enough.

Help Which version of Ship of Harkinian works properly?

3 Upvotes

I've tried:

- https://github.com/linkzenic/Shipwright-Ports On the latest build, it stuck after preparing the data files. The touch screen is not responsive to any input so I can't proceed to selecting ROM

- https://github.com/please-be-nice/Shipwright-android This older one installed fine. But it has a weird issue that if I quit from the in-game menu, the next time I launch it, it would crash. I have to force close it every time to have it launch properly next time. I guess there is some background process lingering after quit which conflicts with the new initialization and that causes the crash.

BTW, I have a RP5. Wondering whether there is a version that works properly for you?

Post image

Playing Captain Tsubasa 2(with a translation) on Mesen on a POCO X7 Pro(12/512 GB), there's a bar of sprites that seems to appear every time the screen slides in Mesen, I tried removing filters and also removing the sprite limit, but there's no fixes. Oddly enough in other emulators this didn't happen. Is it because the actual emulation is supposed to be like this?

Devs are just completely ignoring this issue, or coming up with random scenarios to make you look dumb while retaining the totally cool guy vibe. When you save, leave the app and come back your memory cards will all be corrupted.the app was just updated. Instead of adding random features how about you guys make it so we can enjoy the damn thing in the first place?

Showcase MaliBridge v0.5.6 is out, Resident Evil 5 now runs close to 60 fps on a Galaxy Tab S10+ (Dimensity 9300+)

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone! MaliBridge for DroidDeck has come a pretty long way thanks to all of your contributions. There is now a huge leap for CPU heavy games, tons of game fixes across the board on my own testing devices, and MaliBridge.com integration into the app itself!

Some games that didn't work before and are playable now

  • Resident Evil 5, runs close to 60 fps on my Tab S10+ on high settings with areas reaching 80+ fps.

  • The Witcher 3 (DX12), it used to freeze before the menu on the Tab S11 Ultra, now it gets in and plays (still needs more performance optimization but playable on high end devices)

  • Resident Evil 3 on the Pixel 10, which uses PowerVR, it's playable now, still a bit laggy

  • Resident Evil 3 on Dimensity 9400 devices no longer has flickering boxes all over the screen

  • Star Wars: KOTOR and other OpenGL games had broken text and characters, now fixed

  • Brotato used to close a few seconds after starting, now it stays open

Gameplay on my Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra (Dimensity 9400), real speed with the fps counter on, 720p native

Also in this update

  • New performance switches, on by default, for all games or per game

  • A MaliBridge tab in the app with results and settings from phones like yours

  • One Send logs now should have everything I need to look into a problem

Results for every chip are on malibridge.com and the full notes are on the GitHub release.

AI was used to aid in the development of MaliBridge.

Help APPLE IOS TO ANDROID (CAPTURE ONE)

0 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm looking at workarounds to get Capture One on my S11 Ultra Tablet. I need to be able to tether to the tablet on photoshoots and can't find a decent way to do this.

Currently using Sony Native app and importing automatically to Lightroom but that comes with it's own problems and Capture One is kind of industry standard.

Are there any ways of loading IOS onto the tablet via DEX or an app or something?

Thanks!
